Types of Treatments
What is Romiromi?
Romiromi is a form of bodywork that can be found within the holistic wellbeing practices of traditional Māori healing which on a surface level can help to ease the physical pains and strains held within our bodies, accumulated through daily life.
Romiromi can help to release emotional, psychological and spiritual energies. Our bodies hold cellular memories of energy – every emotion, thought and experience that we encounter in our lives is stored somewhere within our bodies.
This energy accumulates over time, and is also passed down our family line – we inherit and we gift the inheritance through the generations of our families (whakapapa). Romiromi can help release these energies, easing pain, emotional tension, stress, illness, and trauma thereby setting ourselves and our future generations free.
What is Mirimiri?
Mirimiri is a form of bodywork that is a wellbeing practice within traditional Māori healing . Mirimiri invigorates and energises our body, clearing and lifting the burdens that we tend to carry within our bodies.


Session Details
What will my session look like?
The sessions are approximately one hour long and will start with whitiwhiti korero (consultation) to discuss what it is that you are ready to work through or shift (this can be psychological, physical, emotional and spiritual).
- We use karakia and takutaku, and waiata (traditional chants and songs) within our sessions.
- It is recommended that you wear loose clothes, and to come with an empty stomach.
- To get the most from your sessions, we recommend that you give yourself the necessary time and space to adjust and integrate the healing.
- As we work holistically – please be aware that once you start this journey, things may come up for you that may be triggering or unsettling, we always recommend that you have support systems in place (self care, family, friends, professional support) to help sustain you and that you reach out to let us know if you are feeling unsettled or concerned in any way.
