Description
Our vision is to grow and support individuals and whānau within our traditional healing practices to feel empowered to embody our cultural and spiritual practices that directly affect their mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.
Te Ara Teatea
We are here to assist you and your whānau with self and intergenerational healing through our traditional healing modalities. And empower you to remember your true potential through the teachings of our ancestors.
Within our philosophies all pain and dis-ease felt within the body has whakapapa, so we work to treat the catalyst to assist with long term recovery and intergenerational healing.
Privileged to have trained under Papa Joe for 10 years until his passing, Ruatau has been a Rongoaa practitioner and run wananga/workshops under Te Maurea both in Aotearoa and around the world since the year 2000. First introduced to mirimiri as a child by his grandmother and later training under Papa Joe, Ruatau continues to practice and share the art of our sacred healing traditions.
"It was an honour to have studied under Papas tutelage while he was alive and with my partner Hanna (Ngāpuhi) we continue to be guided by him through wairua/spirit. Weaving the threads between Papatūānuku and Ranginui, guided by the Whare Wananga Lore, Nga Atua/gods and our own Tūpuna/ancestors we are humbled to weave the ancient Māori philosophies into this modern ever changing world."
After settling in Te Waipounamu, Ruatau and Hanna were led to start Te Arateatea Trust in 2019 and open a Whare Hauora in Ōtautahi.
