Mirimiri mau kākahu is a gentle, clothed healing that listens to the kōrero held in your muscles, bones and wairua. With hands guided by karakia and the natural rhythms of your breath, this practice softens tension, settles the inner winds, and releases the weight of old experiences.

Each movement is a quiet returning, grounding you back into Papatūānuku, clearing space within, and reawakening your own mauri. This is a warm, safe, and sacred form of mirimiri, supporting balance, clarity and deep rest.

Hapūtanga – Sacred Care for Māmā and Pēpi 
(Must be past the 1st trimester)

Pregnancy is a time of deep wairua connection, transformation, and preparation. In te ao Māori, hapūtanga is honoured as a sacred journey where both māmā and pēpi are nurtured in body, mind, and spirit.
This session is a space of warmth and aroha. Created so you can rest, release tension, and strengthen the bond with your unborn pēpi.
You will leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more deeply connected with your pēpi.
Safe and gentle for most māmā—please kōrero with me if you have any health concerns.

Kaimahi o Te Kura a iwi o Whakatupuranga rua mano with Toni

My mahi goes beyond the physical. In each session, I bring traditional healing practices, while also connecting with wairua to receive and share messages that can bring insight, clarity, and direction to your life.

Every session is a sacred space. A place for release, restoration, and reconnection to your own mauri. The ability to pass on messages from wairua is a taonga, one that requires experience, spiritual discipline, and deep responsibility.

My pricing reflects the depth of this mahi, not only the time we share, but the preparation, energy, and sacred connection. You are not simply booking a massage; you are stepping into a space of physical, emotional and spiritual transformation.

"Please note: Late cancellations & rescheduling (less than 24 hours' notice) will be charged 50% of the service cost."
Please be mindful of timing. Late arrival will be included as part of your session time..
