Whakawhiti Kōrero | Kōmiri – Traditional Māori Talk Therapy for Holistic Well-Being

Whakawhiti kōrero, also known as kōmiri, is a traditional Māori talk therapy rooted in cultural values and ancestral knowledge. This practice creates a sacred and supportive space for sharing pūrākau (stories), insights, and wisdom, fostering connection, understanding, and emotional healing within the whānau (family) and community.

Support for Wāhine (Women) and Whare Tangata (Reproductive Health)

For wāhine navigating challenges with their whare tangata (reproductive system), such as ikura (menstrual cycles), PCOS, endometriosis, menopause, and hormonal imbalances, whakawhiti kōrero offers a nurturing platform to:

• Express emotions, fears, and experiences in a safe and supportive environment.
• Promote emotional release and empowerment through shared stories.
• Strengthen connections to whakapapa (ancestral lineage) and foster a sense of belonging.
• Support emotional balance and holistic well-being.

Addressing Emotional and Physical Challenges

Whakawhiti kōrero goes beyond emotional support, acknowledging the connection between the physical and emotional manifestations of trauma, grief, anxiety, and stress. By validating the lived experiences of wāhine, this practice encourages resilience and holistic healing.

For Māmā, Tamariki, and Rangatahi

• For Māmā and Tamariki (Mothers and Children): Provides a safe space to explore the joys and challenges of motherhood, strengthening bonds and fostering unity within the whānau.
• For Rangatahi (Teens): Offers a platform for self-expression and self-discovery, promoting self-awareness, confidence, and resilience during the complexities of adolescence.
