As humans we accumulate tension, stress and trauma throughout our lives. This can manifest as pain, illness or disfunction on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level.
Romiromi helps reverse the effects these issues have on us by bringing balance back to the body. Techniques include body alignment and manipulation;
Triggering pressure points to assist the body to heal itself and deep tissue massage.
Mirimiri is understood by some to involve working with the surface layers of the physical body, whilst others consider it to be relaxation massage.
I also acknowledge mirimiri as a type of counselling/healing work with mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of a person.
Koomirimiri is a gentle, soft and sensual massage of the skin and spiritual layers of the body for elderly, mothers and babies during pregnancy.

Haputanga - Pregnancy is a special time for all. Our mothers and babies should be comfortable and relaxed throughout the pregnancy and birth.
Haputanga is a traditional approach that utilises a combination of gentle massage, alignment and pressure points.

Patu Pounamu (Jade/Serpentine club) - Instead of using this to harm it is used to heal. When placed on a person it is used to remove unwanted energy.
Ira Tangata - Fertility or the ability to become fertile is a highly complex area. Ira Tangata generally speaking covers the inability to concieve or to complete a full term etc....
Those that seek Ira Tangata have usually not had success with western medicine and are seeking alternative options.
We look at each person as a individual case with their own unique requirements.
