Te Puawaitanga ki Ōtautahi Trust’s Rongoā Service is designed to support whānau using traditional Māori healing. Rongoā provides a holistic approach to health, encompassing all aspects of wellbeing – Te taha whānau, Te taha tinana, Te taha hinengaro, Te taha wairua.

This is achieved with the use of ngā taonga pūoro (traditional Māori instrumental sonic healing), mirimiri and romiromi (bodywork), and whitiwhiti kōrero and karakia (pastoral care).

This service offers a kaupapa Māori approach to wellbeing and inner balance, with you at the centre.
