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.

Mirimiri Kōhatu Wera
Mirimiri kōhatu wera is a traditional healing practice that weaves together the warmth of heated stones and the sacred art of mirimiri. The kōhatu carry their own mauri (life essence) and are used to help release deep-held tension, clear stagnant energy, and restore balance to the tinana (body), hinengaro (mind), and wairua (spirit). The soothing warmth encourages relaxation and grounding, connecting you back to Papatūānuku and supporting deep restoration from within.

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.
