I didn’t plan on getting a Romiromi at all this weekend with typical me type of thinking.

‘No I won’t get on the table cos I’ll save it for the ones that haven’t been on the table. I’ll save it for them and I’ll get me a session done another time’

Well Bella rocked up and it was just happened to be me around at the time so she told me I may as well get on the table 😂 so I did.

I enjoyed my Romiromi. So if you’re near Mount Maunganui- I totally recommend. I was with a group of wāhine with most who hadn’t had any mahi done on them before and I noticed the shifts that happened amoungst the group.

Normally I’m in the realm of tane but this year I’ve been making a conscious effort to connect more to the realm of tangaroa.

There’s something I’ve been thinking about this past weekend when we were out on the moana.

We don’t see the ocean as just water — it is a living ancestor. When we step onto a boat or into the moana, we’re entering into a relationship, not just an environment.

I used to think seasickness was just physical. But the more time I spend out there, the more I wonder about the layers of it.

Our tinana can be affected — the movement, the balance, the body trying to adjust.
But our hinengaro and wairua are there too.

Sometimes the moana stirs what’s already sitting within us. Emotions, tension, overthinking — it can all rise to the surface. Not because something is wrong, but because the environment is alive, moving, and powerful.

Does getting seasick mean you’re “bad” with emotions? I don’t think it’s that simple.

Maybe it’s:
– a sensitive tinana responding to motion
– a hinengaro that’s already carrying something
– or a wairua still learning its relationship with Tangaroa

For some, the moana brings calm.
For others, it brings challenge.
Both are still forms of connection.

Connection isn’t always peaceful — sometimes it’s uncomfortable, humbling, and real.

Over time, as we spend more time on the moana, we learn its rhythms. We learn ourselves too.

Ko au te moana, ko te moana ko au 🌊

Anywho I’ve been on a few boats in my lifetime and I always get seasick. This past weekend was the first time I’ve been on a boat all day and didn’t get sick. I’m really enjoying my times in the realm of tangaroa.

On Sunday our roopu shot over to Rotorua to help with the w**d clean up at Hamurana Springs.

It was a beautiful day of giving back to the taiao.

This is something that has been coming through strongly in one of the spaces I’m currently working. Your physical pain can be a reflection of your behaviour, the things you do. What energy you put out- comes back to you. Whether that’s pai or kino.

Some of the weight you carry isn’t just physical.

That tight back.
That sore neck.
That constant tiredness.

Sometimes… that’s not just tinana.

That’s mamae sitting in your hinengaro.
That’s heaviness sitting in your wairua.

And yeah — some of it comes from what we’ve been through.

But some of it…
comes from what we’ve done, what we hold onto,
and what we haven’t faced.

No judgement. Just truth.

Because when you move wrong, think wrong, act in ways that go against your wairua — your body carries it.

But here’s the thing — you’re not stuck like that.

Rongoā isn’t just about plants and mirimiri which most people think it is.
It’s a way of life.
It’s awareness.
It’s taking responsibility.
It’s choosing to do better, think better, live better.

Start small:
Clear your hinengaro.
Move your tinana.
Reconnect your wairua.

That’s healing.
