Description
At Tā Ruka Rongoā, our services are guided by wairua, grounded in whakapapa, and centred on holistic healing of the tinana, hinengaro, and wairua. Through practices such as whitiwhiti kōrero, mirimiri, romiromi, kawakawa poultice, and wairua mahi, we create a safe and sacred space for release, restoration, and reconnection. Each session is intuitively led, allowing your tinana and wairua to guide the healing process, supporting balance, clarity, and a return to your natural state of mauri ora.

Services Provided
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.
