Our Story
Mission/Miihana
The first mission, being the healing arts and preserving them as I was taught and sharing those teachings to ensure they live on. Things like, Tiwawe Moving stagnant waters (in the body) Mahi aa pona – Joint care using a push pull movement to water' the joints, Takahia – Trample (walk) the body and feet in specific areas, Mahi raakaai – wooden dowel for bodywork, Kohatu - use of a stone tool for specific work usually around the neck, shoulders, spinal column
Then there is the whanau Miri;
Rau Miri - use of leaves, Koo Miri – tone / chant / karakia / whakamoemiti / takutaku / waiata, Paa Miri - the essence of their body (ahua pea), Taa Miri - the imprint you awaken within the person, Haputanga (fertility and pregnancy), Ensure the birth songs / pathways of life are being sung, Ensure the death songs are being used to clear so their is no residue left behind. My passion to teach and share the ancestral arts of the feminine body, knowing, enliven and cleanse the womb / the puku (belly) area / the uterus area, flow of the feminine juices (our creativity), teaching the young (8-12) how to ripen the body in preparation for her cycle, specific moves and techniques for release and joy within.
I have a passion for travel and meeting other cultures. To hear their stories, sing my songs with them, watch their healers and note the similarities and the differences.
I do my best to live an Intentional Life. I want to be intentional about what I do, what I say, how I work, how I reach out to people, how I heal. And the key to that is to ensure I am healing myself along the way.
