Papa Toa is a kaupapa Māori rongoā and wellbeing practice providing ACC-registered rongoā healing grounded in mātauranga Māori, tikanga, and whakapapa. Our 75-minute consultations offer a holistic approach to healing that goes far beyond mirimiri alone, weaving together whakawhitiwhiti kōrero, pūrākau therapy, honohono, ritenga, karakia, and the use of rongoā plant medicine to support tinana, hinengaro, wairua, and mauri. Each session is guided by what is needed in that moment, recognising that healing is relational, spiritual, and embodied, and that true recovery comes from restoring balance across all aspects of wellbeing, not just treating symptoms.
