Joanne Hakaraia

ACC-registered Rongoā Māori Service, Kaupapa Māori

Description

Rongoā Mauri was founded in 2016 by Nick Olson and Joanne Hakaraia-Olson as a whare hauora—a sacred healing space—dedicated to restoring balance and wellbeing through the ancient practices of Rongoā Māori.

We work in deep relationship with the native plants of Aotearoa, offering holistic healing for body, mind, and wairua. Rooted in tikanga Māori and the intelligence of te taiao (the natural world), our work is guided by aroha, intuition, and tradition.

We are an ACC Registered Provider of Rongoā Māori services, offering healing sessions, wānanga, and rongoā trails. Our specialty lies in traditional plant medicine—harvesting, preparing, and creating rongoā (remedies) that carry the mauri (life force) of the ngahere and the wisdom of our tūpuna.

Whether you're seeking personal healing, cultural reconnection, or looking to bring this mātauranga into your workplace or community, we’re here to help. We offer:

Workshops & Wānanga
Guided Rongoā Mauri Trails
Online Healing Consultations (NZ & International)
Custom-made Rongoā Products (balms, teas, tinctures)

If you’re ready to experience the healing power of Rongoā Māori, we welcome you to reach out and begin the journey.

ACC Rongoā Māori

It's culturally grounded care that weaves tikanga Māori, mātauranga Māori, te reo Māori, and te ao Māori through all aspects of the service. We respect that these aspects embrace ngā taonga tuku iho (intergenerational gifts and knowledge handed down from tupuna Māori). We see rongoā Māori in the wider context of traditional Māori healing methodologies.
