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.

At Manawa Ora we practice mirimiri and romiromi; traditional Māori bodywork and healing (not massage).  We work comfortably through clothing, and we work as a team in an open space.  We have both male and female practitioners and you will be assigned a practitioner on the day of your appointment.  We will take the time to ensure you understand the tikanga of our whare before commencing your healing process.  We treat both Māori and non-Māori, and we treat people with physical/mental injuries and sensitive claims.

Kaupapa Māori community and/or social support that is culturally appropriate for Māori, promote Mātauranga Māori, tikanga Māori, and whānau-centred models of care.
