Wellington Workshops

Wellington Māori Healing Workshops

Our Maori healing workshops focus on teaching the foundations of Mirimiri, Romiromi and Maori Healing and are suitable for anyone with an interest in Rongoā Māori (Māori medicine) and culture, at any level, whether beginner or established practitioner.

Wellington workshops are held at the Manawa Ora whare hauora (clinic) in Glenside.

For many course attendees, our workshops are the first time they will fully learn the Māori perspective to foundational cultural concepts of health and wellbeing.

In addition to technique, you will learn the concepts and philosophy that underpin all the work we undertake in Mirimiri, Romiromi and Māori Bodywork.

Self-care is also an important aspect of practice as we understand that in order to help others, you must be well yourself. HEALING STARTS WITH YOU. You will be introduced to wellbeing from a cultural perspective and how to maintain wellbeing for yourself and your whānau

“Tangata whaiora are those who ‘seek wellness’ and therefore WANT to heal. We always speak of the people who come to us in the positive. Giving people hope is the priority of the kairongoā
”

— Jolie Davis

Some of the topics introduced over the 2-day foundation workshop include:

· Floorwork·

· Haemata (Maori pressure points)

· Kohatu (using stones)

· Working with energy

· Whatumanawa (intuitive diagnosis)

· Safe practice

· Selfcare

· Cultural concepts of health and wellbeing

· Whakapapa of energy

· Increasing self awareness

· Hands on practice

· Group discussion and sharing

· Learning Waiata (traditional song) and Karakia

Jolie provides appropriate demonstrations and often treats presenting conditions in willing volunteers (ie: a course attendee may have back pain or a chronic health condition that we can work with in the group).

This affords the opportunity to experience and observe Mirimiri and Romiromi in action.

Often attendees experience their own healing and transformation during the course of the 2-day programme. During this time you may experience your own personal insights and learning, either individually or collectively.

We learn that by raising our self-awareness and maintaining a positive outlook, we can change our energy and therefore change our experience of the world around us.

Healing starts with YOU
