Today
9:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
Description
Kahukura Healing Services provides holistic mirimiri and therapeutic massage grounded in Mātauranga Māori and a trauma-informed, whānau-centred approach to healing. Services support the restoration of tinana (body), hinengaro (mind), and wairua (spirit), recognising the interconnected nature of wellbeing.
Mirimiri sessions may include traditional Māori bodywork, therapeutic massage techniques, gentle mobilisation, breathwork, and whakawhiti kōrero. Care is tailored to each individual with respect for tikanga, tapu, noa, personal boundaries and cultural safety.
Kahukura Healing Services works with ACC clients under Māori Rongoā pathways, providing assessment and ongoing treatment to support injury recovery, pain management, mobility and overall wellbeing. Services are also available to the wider community, and whānau-friendly options are offered where possible.
This practice is guided by manaakitanga and aroha, creating a safe and respectful space for healing, reconnection and recovery.

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.
