Māori Bodywork: Traditional Healing Through Touch and Energy
Māori bodywork is a holistic healing practice from Aotearoa (New Zealand) that integrates deep tissue manipulation, energetic alignment, and spiritual connection. Rooted in ancestral knowledge, it works to release tension, restore balance, and enhance overall well-being.
Key techniques include Romi Romi, a deep-pressure bodywork method that stimulates the body’s natural ability to heal, and Miri Miri, which focuses on energy flow, relaxation, and alignment. The session will utlilize a wooden stick called a Rākau, to support physical and emotional release.
Māori bodywork is more than a physical treatment it is a deeply intuitive practice that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit, creating space for transformation and renewal.
Romi Romi: Deep Tissue Transformation
Romi Romi is a powerful form of deep tissue bodywork that applies firm pressure and dynamic movements to stimulate, release, and reorganize the body. The goal is to agitate stagnant energy, break through blockages, and encourage the body's natural ability to realign itself. This practice often involves using elbows, forearms, and body weight to access deeper layers of tension and restore the body's optimal flow.
Miri Miri: Energy, Flow, and Connection
Miri Miri is a deeply intuitive and spiritual approach to bodywork that focuses on how energy moves through the body. It works to awaken the vibratory essence of the bones, loosen muscles, open airways, and revitalize internal waters, restoring balance on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. This practice is rooted in a deep connection to wairua (spirit) and seeks to harmonize the mind and body, helping individuals process and release emotional burdens while fostering a state of inner calm.
