What can I expect at my mirimiri appointment?

We traditionally work in a space shared with other kaimiri (practitioners) and whaiora (clients).  This is considered ‘safe practice’ to us. Your privacy is important to us; you need only share what information you are comfortable to share in an open space.

Both Mirimiri and Romiromi work at a deep level, even deeper than what is commonly known as ‘Deep Tissue’. We use tools to apply pressure to specific points such as kōhatu (stones) and we use our hands, feet, elbows, and body weight. 

It is common to feel a range of emotions during your session - whatever you feel is normal.

We work intuitively and we treat the whole person. This means we may work in areas you haven’t asked us to work in if we consider there is a need. Please feel free to ask your kaimiri/practitioner why, or tell us if you’re not comfortable, in which case we would encourage you to feel free to stop the session at any point.

Your practitioner will be allocated to you on the day.

What can I expect post treatment?

Post session you can expect your body to be in ‘release mode’, and it is encouraged that you keep strenuous physical activity and exposure to stressful environments to a minimum. Drink plenty of fluids and take care of yourself.

You might feel emotional after your treatment. You could feel exhausted, irritable or lightheaded. You may feel some discomfort for up to 3 days. Depending on your physical condition (ie; stress, illness or chronic deficiency) you may experience tenderness or bruising post treatment. Please contact us if you have any concerns.
