Description
Clint Edmonds is a dedicated Rongoā Māori practitioner with over 25 years of experience in traditional healing practices grounded in Te Ao Māori. Guided by the wisdom of his Tūpuna, Clint weaves together ancient knowledge and contemporary understanding to support the physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing of his clients.
His healing approach encompasses Mirimiri and Romiromi bodywork, Rongoā Pani (plant-based balms, oils, and tonics), whitiwhiti kōrero (therapeutic conversation), karakia, and takutaku (ancient incantations and spiritual alignment). Clint works holistically, recognising that true healing occurs when wairua, hinengaro, tinana, and whānau are balanced and connected to their environment.
Through Mirimiri, Clint utilises a range of forms and techniques from gentle relaxation and spiritual clearings, to deep-tissue and pressure point release. All sessions are tailored to the individual’s needs. His Rongoā Pani preparations are crafted using healing native plants gathered with karakia in season, ensuring the healing properties of the ngahere (forest) are preserved and shared in their purest form. Clint is also experienced in supporting sensitive and complex cases, including trauma recovery, emotional distress, and post-incident healing. His mahi integrates whitiwhiti kōrero and grounded wānanga-style engagement, allowing clients to safely unpack and realign their experiences towards healing.
As a practitioner, Clint honours both tikanga Māori and professional health standards, ensuring every session is guided by manaakitanga, aroha, and integrity. His practice is open to all, welcoming individuals, whānau, and community members seeking reconnection, restoration, and renewed strength through the pathways of Rongoā.

Kaupapa Māori is a Māori worldview and philosophy that shapes how Māori think, act, learn, and relate to the world. It’s the foundation for Māori ways of doing things and is grounded in tikanga (customs and correct practices), whakapapa (genealogy), wairua (spirituality), and whanaungatanga (relationships). Kaupapa Māori literally means “Māori principles” or “a Māori way of doing things.” It’s about approaching everything. For example; education, health, leadership, research, healing, or community work from a Māori perspective, ensuring Māori values and knowledge guide the process.
