EAP Services (Habit Health Network)
EAP Services with Whakapakari Ora
Access Rongoā Māori & Hauora Support Through Your Workplace
Whakapakari Ora is proud to be part of the EAP Services provider network, under the wider Habit Health whānau. This means eligible clients can now access our Rongoā Māori, mirimiri, and hauora coaching through their workplace wellbeing programme — at no personal cost.
What’s Available Through EAP Services
If your employer is partnered with EAP Services, you can request Whakapakari Ora for:
🌿 Mirimiri & Kōmiri – Māori therapeutic bodywork to release tension, restore balance, and support healing.
🪻 Whakawhiti Kōrero – guided conversation grounded in mātauranga Māori to support hinengaro (mental) and wairua (spiritual) wellbeing.
🌿 Rongoā Rākau & Spiritual Healing – herbal remedies and wairua-based care tailored to your needs.
🌿 Hauora Coaching – goal-focused wellbeing support, blending Māori health models with practical lifestyle guidance.
These services are delivered by our registered kairongoā and hauora practitioners in Ōtautahi Christchurch and online for clients across Aotearoa.
Who Can Access EAP Services?
You may be eligible if:
- Your workplace has an EAP Services contract.
- You’ve been referred for wellbeing or cultural support through your HR or wellbeing team.
- You are based in Aotearoa and want kaupapa Māori-based healing as part of your support.
Tip: Ask your HR team if your organisation partners with EAP Services, or visit eapservices.co.nz. When booking, you can request Whakapakari Ora as your provider.
Why This Matters

- 🧶 Weaving Workshops – collaborative raranga experiences delivered with our hoa mahi at Kahu Collective, weaving both fibres and community
