Oranga Ahurewa – Traditional Rongoā Māori Services
Oranga Ahurewa provides Traditional Māori Healing within a culturally grounded and structured framework that supports restoration, balance, and long-term wellbeing.
Our practice recognises that injury, illness, and trauma affect the whole person — tinana, hinengaro, wairua, manawa, and whānau. Care is individualised, responsive, and grounded in tikanga Māori.
Oranga Ahurewa offers Traditional Māori Healing therapies including: Karakia – Spiritual protection and blessings when required within session. Purea – Spiritual / Mental / Emotional / Physical cleansing. Kōmiri – Consultation, therapeutic kōrero, advice and cultural support. Romi ā Rehua – Deep therapeutic alignment bodywork. Mirimiri – Therapeutic massage and restorative bodywork. Rongoā Māori – Specialised native plant remedies to suit your individual needs.
We work with clients of all ages and cultures who have been affected by:
• Spiritual and Mental trauma
• Physical injuries (including ACC-related conditions)
• Chronic and Acute sickness
Healing at Oranga Ahurewa is intentional, layered, and uncompromising in its integrity — restoring balance and strengthening mauri where it has been compromised.
