1st day back in Mangamuka clinic and it feels good to be back in community.

Rongoā Māori
More than just a mirimiri

Asking yourself why you’re anxious? Why you have pain? Why do you feel off?

Any internal or external pain has a whakapapa.

Rongoā Māori can be confrontational. It’s healing the in and out. It’s more than just a mirimiri.

Oh yeah I don’t have time for pretty videos 😂 It is what it is ✌️

Another thing to add, my intention and journey in Rongoā Māori was and is never about personal or monetary gain. When your intentions align, naturally you manifest or attract back what you need and want. S**t I personally could think of a few less stressful ways to make some putea but I chose Rongoā and Rongoā chose me.

Rongoā Māori – Sunday kōrero

The journey of healing is rarely straight.

Some days you’re grounded.
Other days you fall back into the same patterns you said you’d leave behind.

Rongoā doesn’t shame that.

But it also doesn’t ignore it.

Healing asks for honesty.
Accountability.
And the willingness to keep coming back — even when it’s uncomfortable.

That’s the true mahi.

Pou Rongoā for Taumata Rongoā – Hauora Hokianga
✨ Mirimiri Fortnightly Clinic

Over the past 6 months, one of our bros has been holding it down at the mirimiri clinic back home while I stepped away to rest and reset. Now it’s his turn to take a well-earned break, and I’ll be stepping back in to continue this mahi.

This work is never done alone. I’m deeply grateful for the awhi and support — especially to the bro who showed up for our whānau when it was needed.

Ngā mihi nui also to the beautiful team at Taumata Rongoā. The pathways you’ve created for Rongoā Māori in the Hokianga come from dedication, resilience, and endless aroha. Thank you for all that you do for our people. ❤️

He mahi aroha, he mahi tangata.

Sunday kōrero ✨
My never ending wānanga.

Sometimes I look above and ask why the hell I end up around all these muppets 😂 and then realise I’m a muppet too🤦‍♀️

We will all be triggered, offended, or stressed at times.
That’s part of being human.

Rongoā teaches us not to stay in that space.

Instead we return to the whenua, to breath, to karakia, to the wisdom of the natural world.

When we reconnect, our wairua settles and balance returns.

Healing is not avoiding disturbance — it is knowing how to come back to ourselves.

Rongoā Māori 🌿
Sunday kōrero

Our tūpuna didn’t separate healing from living.

The ngahere heals.
The wai heals.
Karakia heals.
Kōrero heals.

Rongoā reminds us that the medicine was always around us — and within us.

One thing I put focus on as much as I can when our people reach out for Rongoā Māori - that this isin’t just about a mirimiri, a karakia and some balms.

This mahi is healing and healing when acknowledged can be very confronting. I challenge people into self reflection and accountability. We have choices and our choices have shaped our realities and where we are in life. I’d say most people are aware but in the environment I mahi in, it’s common to have that lack of awareness and that may have been through no fault of their own.
