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 healing systems) at any level, whether beginner or established practitioner.  We also welcome mainstream healthcare practitioners.

Several Wellington workshops will be held at the Manawa Ora whare hauora (clinic) in Glenside in 2027. Contact us now to register your interest.

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

In addition to technique, you will be introduced to the philosophies that underpin the work that we do as kaimiri - which is actually a way of life that anyone can utilise for their own wellbeing.

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 people in the positive. Giving people hope is the priority of the kairongoā”
— Jolie Davis

Manawa Ora Mirimiri Workshop, Wellington

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.
