ACC-registered Rongoā Māori Service, Kaupapa Māori

Today

9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Description

At Native Wisdom, we weave the sacred wisdom of our ancestors into modern healing journeys, guided by the enduring energies of Te Hihiri (radiant life force) and Te Whe (the elemental breath of creation). Through the sacred pathways of the Poutama process - a stairway to spiritual elevation. We walk alongside you to restore balance, harmony, and connection to your deepest essence.

Our Service focuses on Wairua healing, through traditional practices such as Mirimiri, Romiromi, Takutaku, Karakia, Waiata, Invocation of Atua, & Kōrero-a-wairua.

Haere mai—enter this sacred space, and let your journey of renewal begin.
Inspired by the past, grounded in the present, healing for generations to come.

Services Provided

ACC Rongoā Māori

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.
