Staff

Sarndra Mear is an ACC registered rongoā Māori practitioner.

I’ve created Tū Kakara to bring back traditions that we intrinsically recognise and know as Māori, as Indigenous People, by creating a space that is natural to Māori with regards to accessing traditional rongoā Māori healing modalities following accident and or injury.

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.
