Our Rongoā Māori Services | What we do
🌿 Rongoā Māori – Our Healing Approach
At Whakapakari Ora, we offer healing grounded in Rongoā Māori – a traditional and holistic system of care rooted in tikanga Māori, mātauranga Māori, te reo Māori, and te ao Māori.
Rongoā is more than a modality; it’s a way of being, a practice that honours the interconnectedness of wairua (spirit), hinengaro (mind), tinana (body), and whānau (relationships). It recognises the events and experiences that contribute to unwellness and offers culturally grounded responses to restore balance and mauri ora (life force).
🧩 Our Rongoā-Based Services Include:
Rongoā Rākau – Native plant remedies including balms, oils, and tinctures tailored to your hauora needs.
Mirimiri – Traditional Māori bodywork using therapeutic touch to release tension, align energy, and support the whare tangata (reproductive system).
Whakawhiti Kōrero (Kōmiri) – Māori talk therapy that honours story, emotional release, and connection to whakapapa.
Waiata & Karakia – Invoking the power of sound, vibration, and spiritual guidance to support healing and transformation.
Hauora Coaching – Personalised health and lifestyle coaching that blends modern approaches with kaupapa Māori values.
Wānanga & Workshops – Hands-on learning spaces for raranga, rongoā, and holistic wellbeing practices.
Mobile Clinics – Bringing healing to communities through outreach clinics across Ōtautahi and beyond.
Online Community – A virtual space to share mātauranga, support, and connection through a Te Ao Māori lens.
🌺 A Living Tradition of Healing
Rongoā Māori is a living system of healing passed down through generations via oral traditions, lived experience, and wānanga. It draws on the wisdom of our tūpuna and the gifts of Papatūānuku (earth) to support those seeking balance and transformation.
Our kairongoā (practitioners) work with integrity and wairua, offering personalised care that honours your unique journey and whakapapa.
Nau mai – reconnect, rebalance, and remember who you are.
