ACC Support and Rongoā Māori

At Whakapakari Ora, we honour and uphold the values of Rongoā Māori, mirimiri, and hauora coaching to support holistic wellbeing. While we are not currently registered as ACC providers, we are actively working toward accreditation to make our services more accessible for those on an ACC pathway.

What This Means for You

If you're seeking ACC-funded Rongoā Māori or mirimiri, we are unable to claim directly on your behalf at this time. However, we:

  • Welcome you to engage with us as a private client
  • Can provide general support or preparation if you're navigating the ACC process
  • Are working to align with future pathways that better reflect Rongoā Māori within the ACC system

Trusted Referral – Te Haa o Io

In the meantime, we highly recommend Te Haa o Io for those seeking ACC-registered mirimiri and Rongoā Māori services. They are a kaupapa Māori organisation committed to integrity and excellence in traditional healing.

Stay Connected

We’ll update this page as our ACC registration progresses. In the meantime, we remain available for private sessions in New Brighton, central Ōtautahi Christchurch, and online.

Whakapakari Ora invites you to walk with us on a journey of reconnection, healing and mātauranga Māori.

Our wānanga and events are open to the public and grounded in kaupapa Māori values of manaakitanga, wairuatanga, and kaitiakitanga. These spaces are created to uplift community wellbeing, share traditional knowledge, and strengthen our connection to te taiao (the natural world).

We offer a range of experiences throughout the motu, including:

  • 🌿 Rongoā Workshops – hands-on learning in mirimiri, rongoā rākau (native plant medicine), and traditional healing practices
  • 🚶♀️ Hīkoi Series – guided nature walks exploring rākau Māori, pūrākau (storytelling), and spiritual grounding
  • 🧶 Weaving Workshops – collaborative raranga experiences delivered with our hoa mahi at Kahu Collective, weaving both fibres and community
  • 🧘♀️ Guided Meditations & Wairua Practices – calming sessions to align wairua and hinengaro, grounded in maramataka and te taiao
  • 🩺 Koha-Based Community Clinics – accessible mirimiri and holistic rongoā services offered with aroha

Our events align with the maramataka (Māori lunar calendar), creating opportunities to attune with the natural rhythms of the moon and environment.
