Ancient Maori Healing: Mirimiri and Romiromi
The ancient Māori healing modalities of Mirimiri and Romiromi are powerful restorative practices that bring rebalance, realignment, balance, clarity and wellness to the body, mind and spirit. Mirimiri and Romiromi assists the release of stress and tension from the body that accumulates as a by-product of hectic, modern day lifestyles.
Mirimiri helps to clear energetic blocks within the body that often result from physical or emotional trauma. Our human experiences are ‘remembered’; that is, held within cellular memory, deep in the physical body. Both Mirimiri and Romiromi work at this level, even deeper than what is commonly known as ‘Deep Tissue’.

“Where to begin….. I have never met anyone like Jolie or experienced anything like what she offers. After 2 years of various therapies for PTSD after a major trauma injury, I came across her site and asked if she might be able to help. What happened to me in her session room was nothing short of miraculous. After one deeply emotional and painful session - just 1 - my night terrors were gone, the fearful sweats were gone! I slept soundly for the first time in 2 years. That alone should be all the recommendation anyone needs. She is a woman with a gift. ”
What Does Mirimiri mean? What does Romiromi mean?
The simplest way to understand the linguistic origins and translation of both Mirimiri and Romiromi is to break each word down:
· Mi – to stimulate
· Ri – to agitate
· Ro – internal organs
· Mi – to stimulate
It follows that Mirimiri stimulates and energises blood, bone, tissue and fluids… Romiromi includes a deeper layer of healing that affects the function of the internal organs. Traditionally, both systems are practiced simultaneously and holistically, complementing one another to bring balance to the body and harmony to the mind.
To substantiate one’s life
To gain the essence of one’s being
To understand one’s being is to know
all things descend to me
And what comes to me can come to you also.
For a new horizon is in sight!

A popular misconception about Mirimiri is that it is simply a form of massage!
In reality, Mirimiri is much more. It is a philosophy, a way of life, a path back to wellness and inclusive of all people.
Mirimiri and Romiromi works to restore and balance your body AND mind, delivering harmonious healing on a spiritual level.
At Manawa Ora Mirimiri & Workshops, we practice authentic, traditional Mirimiri which is respectful of the teachings of Māori healing passed down from generation to generation.

Workshop Review
“On a personal pilgrimage to New Zealand I attended a weekend workshop led by Jolie Davis - Manawa Ori Mirimiri & Workshops. My experience being limited to shamanic work, was thinking this training would be general entry level intro with demonstrations around bodywork. Wrong! Day One and we were all undertaking this work.
Jolie teaches with fierce kindness threaded with humour, we had so many belly laughs while learning deep. Time stretched to accommodate 1:1 attention and group learning. Also present is a supporting team of experienced practitioners. Those of you reading here from Western European background, this work will get you out of your heads and into the wisdom of your bodies.
The healing in this work is potent and there is no hiding.
For me personally the work was emotional at its core; to let go of the faltering action, step into power and undertake own work. Clearly the spirits in Europe have been talking with the spirits in New Zealand! Same message, different traditions. This healing work is for everyone. I noted attenders were from other disciplines (shiatsu, physio therapy). Me, I had no experience of body work; got stuck in and received the experience, healing and advice needed. Would also add this is a repeatable workshop, for all levels of experience, the sharing and garnering of knowledge is amazing.
Warmest happy regards to Jolie and team.”
