Description

Rosanna is an ACC registered Rongoā Māori practitioner based in Grey Lynn.

Rongoā Māori is the traditional Māori healing system. This ancient lore, including plant use, massage, and incantations, has been passed down through many generations.

Over many years of practicing ancient healing bodywork and mirimiri, Rosanna has created a beautiful flow of mirimiri at Aroha using differing levels of pressure. Calming the nervous system, mind, body, spirit and supporting the release of trauma held within the tissues of the body.  

In Māori Philosophy, MiriMiri is a vibrational, healing exchange between our Earth Mother (Papatuānuku). We first clear and cleanse our healing space using elements from our earth (whakawātea) and Karakia.

Māori medicine at Aroha, ailments are treated in a holistic spiritual manner with:

Mirimiri (bodywork)
Honohono Energy healing
Kōrero (support and advice)
Karakia (prayer)

Services Provided

ACC Rongoā Māori

ACC Rongoā Māori ACC recognise rongoā Māori as a kaupapa Māori service. It's culturally grounded care that weaves tikanga Māori, mātauranga Māori, te reo Māori, and te ao Māori through all aspects of the service. We respect that these aspects embrace ngā taonga tuku iho (intergenerational gifts and knowledge handed down from tupuna Māori). We see rongoā Māori in the wider context of traditional Māori healing methodologies. ACC don't consider healing techniques from non-Māori cultural traditions, such as reiki or hyperbaric oxygen treatment, part of rongoā Māori. Even if they're provided by rongoā Māori practitioners.
