And here we are..us Rongoā practitioners. Healers..
Working quietly behind the scenes of a world that feels like its in chaos.

Chipping away, one tangata at a time..healing wairua, restoring mauri, helping people to come home to themselves..Giving back their authority..over their choices, their actions, their behaviours..their path

While everything around us looks like its crumbling..we're still here.
Steady. Humble. Present.

Doing the mahi..that can't always been seen but is always felt.. like a subtle wave....clearing pathways.

Heal one person..
To heal the whānau..
To heal the whakapapa.

Restoring harmony and balance..

And little by little, one by one.. we all walk free x

Myself and a few amazing Māori healers doing all things healing from Rongoā, mirimiri, romiromi, plant magic, whakawhiti kōrero, readings, clearing trauma, clearing mamae and everything in between, will be in Palmy on 6th December at Te Rangimarie Marae.
Nau Mai!!

So proud to walk alongside these Manawa Hine through Te Ara Whakaora

This journey has taught me alot..
Mostly, that the path is so unexpected… life can shift in a single moment, a single breath.

Even though we’ve held much heartache in this space, I honour the wāhine who stayed grounded here.. committed to their kaupapa, to their intention for being here, to their own becoming.

To our whānau that couldn't be here this weekend but have journeyed along with us.. you were in our hearts.💚💚

I absolutely love witnessing the shifts that unfold within this space… the deepening connection to the whenua, to te taiao, to Rongoā Māori, to each other..but ultimately to themselves.
Rongoā Māori is so much more than a practice of making pani and tinctures. It is a way of living. A way of being. A way of being present. Uplifting the mana and mauri of our people.

Ngā mihi nui, e ngā Manawa Hine.
I am so proud of you all and so honoured to hold this space with you. x

Suzie Blue!!! Thank you my friend for holding this space with me with such aroha ! Manaaki Mama you are one in a million 💜🤍

Kintsugi-" The fractured light of being"
Esther Bunning

Back in May 2022, I jumped at the opportunity to bear all when Esther Bunning, photographer, creator, artist, storyteller, invited me to be part of an exhibition inspired by the philosophy of Kintsugi: the art that teaches us our cracks do not define us. Instead, if we learn to grow through the cracks, to refine our imperfections, our flaws, we indeed reveal the masterpiece within.

My journey has been about embracing all the parts of myself that once felt broken, hurt, betrayed, silenced, shamed, weak, wrong. Especially in a world fractured through the distorted lens of societal “norms,” shaped by man-made structures designed to break us, control us, feed our fear. Especially as wāhine...

Through colonisation, the schooling system, religious constraints, and power plays, the wāhine...in all her beauty..was lead to believe she was too much, not enough.

I’ve always said, my home is where I lay my hat. Disconnected from my homeland and people, I’ve never truly known what it means to belong. I still can’t say I’m fully there… but my journey through Rongoā Māori has given me a new sense of what it means to belong...to the whenua, to te taiao, and to self. I’ve found that my tūrangawaewae lives within me.

Rongoā Māori has led me back to the whenua, back to te taiao.. back to reclaiming myself. My true self.

It’s a journey. Just as te taiao moves, I move too. It doesn't always feel perfect, but I’m learning to redefine perfection.. To navigate the ever-changing currents of life, to embrace them instead of resisting the natural flow.

I am the Rongoā for my whānau... I am the tūrangawaewae for my children.. my mokopuna.

No one can tell you who are, and what you should be or whether you are enough! Only you can define that..

Ngā mihi nui e Mareikura Esther Bunning
Thank you so much for being the light and for bringing the light to so many who share their stories with you. Thank you for holding those stories with such care and aroha.

To the 10 wāhine that joined me on this journey, sharing your stories of courage, embracing strength and vulnerability, I honour you x 💜🤍

DISCOMFORT IS THE GREATEST ENEMY OF COURAGE - Brenè Brown.

I’ve had many conversations this week about our inability as a culture to be vulnerable and to speak into our truth. TO LIVE IN OUR TRUTH.. to be honest with ourselves and with others despite the discomfort.

Somewhere along the way, we learned to identify vulnerability with weakness.
To keep it together.
To not show too much.
To be “strong.”

But if we’re honest, that kind of strength often costs us our authenticity and our energy.
It keeps our hearts armoured.
It stops us from truly connecting to ourselves, to each other.

Our true power and potential isn’t about living behind the mask we were conditioned to wear.
It’s found in the courage to take it off.
To sit in the discomfort of being seen.
To have the hard kōrero.. the ones that make your puku turn, but your soul expand.

Brené Brown says, “Discomfort is the greatest enemy of courage...and I believe that.

Because courage will always ask you to step outside what feels safe.
To choose honesty over pleasing.
To choose courage over comfort.

When you do choose courage, not everyone will stand beside you.
Not everyone will understand the path you’re walking, or feel comfortable with what you have to say or do..
and YES.. When you start to stand in your MANA it absolutely might make people feel uncomfortable, threatened, hurt, let down..Even though you are walking with full intigrity.
But that has to be okay whānau...you can't control how people with perceive or receive you.

I've learnt courage isn’t about being liked..
It’s about being aligned.
It’s about walking in your truth and honouring it, even when it shakes you.

I love when a session just flows.. when you can draw from a variety of tools within the kete.
That’s the beauty of Rongoā Māori/Mirimiri 💚 it allows you to hold space without confinement, guided by intuition and what naturally arises in the moment.

Rongoā Māori is expansive in its thinking, allowing you to move, adapt, and respond to the needs of the person and the environment.
It’s a living practice that honours both the individual and the world around them. Each session will look and feel different from the last, shaped by the energy and the needs that are presented.

“People are just walking around like locked boxes…”

This is what my 86-year-old client shared with me today and it landed deeply because I know there is such a truth in this kōrero.

So many carry generational secrets, pain, and stories that have never been spoken aloud. Out of fear of judgement, rejection, or shame…
But when we hold it all inside, it becomes a weight that limits our ability to fully breathe, love deeply, and connect authentically with ourselves and the world around us.

When someone finally feels safe enough to open that box... to be witnessed without judgement..its like a breathe of fresh air and that's where healing begins.

It always reminds me how sacred this mahi is… Creating spaces where stories can be shared, tears can flow, and whakapapa can heal x

16 years as an Intuitive Healer, Massage Practioner and Bodyworker..

Nau Mai Haere Mai

I’m glad you have made it on to my page. For whatever reason, something has guided you here, whether your body is screaming at you for some bodywork, or your inquisitive nature is asking“ What is Traditional Maori Healing? or maybe you have heard about the magic of Two Hands and you thought you would head in and check it out.

Whatever has led you here, I encourage you to listen in to your body and trust that you have been brought here for a reason.

Traditional Maori healing in the form of MiriMiri and RomiRomi can be a deeply spiritual experience. In their own unique way, they both aim to agitate and stimulate the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual layers to release rooted tension stored in the cellular memory of the body. It is not a one size fits all approach to healing as each session is intuitively led, guided by what your body needs on the day.
