Rongoā Māori

Māori Healing Services

Our objective is to provide Rongoā Māori as a dual provision in Primary Healthcare for Ngāpuhi Nui Tonu

Our Rongā Māori services are available for whanau, hapū, community and iwi in the Northland Region of all ethnic and cultural descents.

Where?

Kaitaia Hospital, Mobile Outreach & Telehealth

We provide Rongoā Māori at Whare Rongoā, Kaitaia Hospital. We also offer Telehealth Services and we can visit the whānau in around Ngāpuhi Nui Tonu, (we can come to you).


At Whare Rongoā We Offer:

  • Karakia

    Spiritual healing through karakia/prayer.  Karakia clears unwanted negative energy and ensures the healing channel is activated and open to transmute the clearing/healing to take place. 

  • Whitiwhiti Korero

    We ensure a safe space/forum is available for cultural support, advice, and sharing kōrero/perspectives.

  • Rongoā Rākau

    Rongoā rākau are plants that have been sourced and prepared to be used in a variety of ways to bring healing, relief and comfort:

    • Salves
    • Inhalations (to breathe)
    • Infusions (burning rongoā; scent/smell)
    • Ingestion – oral (kai, wai, tinctures, teas)
    • Steam treatments
    • Poultices.
  • Mirimiri Tinana

    Mirimiri is a traditional Māori body massage healing modality that incorporates the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of a person’s wellness. It aids in releasing and relieving tension and pain that may be stored in parts of the body.

Cost: Koha/donation.
