Description

What to expect from Te Ara Teatea:
Mirimiri and Romiromi is a traditional Māori healing modality, that is used to whakatau/calm the tinana/body, hinengaro/mind, mauri/lifeforce and wairua/spirit. We shift trapped energies that may be causing pain and discomfort.
During your session you will remained fully clothed. We use a kaupare and a spray of wai-tai for spiritual protection.
You will be encouraged to use your breath to assist in allowing blocked energies to flow. For some there will be an emotional release, and we will kōrero/discuss with you when and as things come up during your session.
Afterwards you are encouraged to take sometime in nature, rest and honour the shifts you are going through. Drink lots of water and you may continue to feel the affects over the coming days as your body recalibrate and re-adjusts to the shifts that happened.
