Description

Holistic Māori Health & Recovery Support | Rongoā Māori | Bodywork | Coaching

Te Ara Hou Wellbeing provides culturally-aligned holistic care grounded in the principles of Rongoā Māori. We support individuals and whānau to restore balance, reduce pain, and improve overall wellbeing through a combination of traditional Māori healing practices and modern therapeutic approaches.

Our Approach

We specialise in Rongoā Māori, incorporating natural plant-based remedies, mirimiri (therapeutic bodywork), lifestyle guidance, and person-centred care. Each session is tailored to the individual, with a focus on supporting recovery, emotional balance, and long-term wellness.

We work with:

  • Individuals experiencing stress, fatigue, or anxiety

  • People recovering from injury or tension-related pain

  • Clients navigating trauma or emotional overwhelm

  • Those seeking a holistic and culturally aligned pathway to wellbeing

  • ACC sensitive claim clients (approved)
  • ACC physical claim clients (approved)
