Nikita is the heart and hands behind Pēpi Eats, a space that started with simple kai ideas for her pēpi and grew into a thriving community for modern whānau. What began as sharing real, unfiltered moments of first-time motherhood quickly became something much bigger: a platform grounded in honesty, connection, and making everyday life with kids feel a little easier.
As Pēpi Eats (and Āio & Aroha) grew, so did Nikita’s audience, drawn to her behind-the-scenes look at building a pakihi from scratch, balancing study, Air Force mahi, and raising a bilingual pēpi. Her content is a relatable mix of whānau life, kaupapa Māori, everyday humour, and the very real hustle of being a mum with big dreams and limited nap windows.
Nikita has shared the good and the bad, and in doing so built a community that genuinely trusts her. That authenticity has naturally attracted brands who value meaningful storytelling, real connection, and content that speaks directly to māmā navigating the beautiful chaos of family life.
