Rongoā Māori

Is Traditional Māori Medicine

Rongoā Māori is like the Karanga, which you first hear on the Marae. You feel the call to the heart and know when it is time to start the healing journey. - Carmel Cochrane

Traditional Māori Healing is handed down within whānau through many generations. This ancient pathway assists in re-aligning your mind, body, and spirit—Mauri Life force, Wairua Spirit, Tapu Natural Sacred Law, and Whakapapa Genealogy.

This ancient lore encompasses many elements from Karakia's prayer to bless and protect you. Mirimiri massage to soothe and heal your body. Whitiwhiti kōrero support and advice with problems you are facing. Honohono Energy healing to release deep-seated traumas or pain within the body. Rongoā Rakau Herbal medicines are prescribed to bring balance to the body.
