Māwhiti Ora
ACC-registered Rongoā Māori Service, Kaupapa Māori
Today
Description
KIA ORA, KIAORANA!! Māwhiti Ora is a whānau initiative uplifted by the power of Rongoā Māori, our traditional Indigenous health and safety practices.
We provide a safe and confidential space for whitiwhiti kōrero (safe and empowering conversation). We practice traditional mirimiri ( stimulation and invigoration of the senses), knowledge of kai pai (high vibration food), wairākau (plant based tonics) and whatu kakahū (traditional weaving techniques) to remove stress and toxic energy and to navigate through trauma and pain.
With over 20 years of bodywork experience, and 10 years of supporting whānau working through mental illness and addiction issues, please be assured you are in safe hands at Māwhiti Ora.
Please feel free to contact us at mawhitiora@gmail.com

Services Provided
ACC Rongoā Māori ACC recognise rongoā Māori as a kaupapa Māori service. 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. ACC don't consider healing techniques from non-Māori cultural traditions, such as reiki or hyperbaric oxygen treatment, part of rongoā Māori. Even if they're provided by rongoā Māori practitioners.
