Romiromi comes from The Reo ‘the vibration’. This Traditional Massage works on a vibrational frequency and cellular level. Romiromi Massage is the strongest and deepest of our practices.
Physically you will receive a body alignment, deep tissue Massage and stimulation of haemata (pressure points) to activate the cellular memory for release of anything that doesn’t serve you. Elbows and arms are used more than the hands and occasionally pounamu (greenstone) for deep release work. Large people are worked on a floor mat, so we can use and leverage our body weight with the aid of a special rakau (stick).
Similar to Mirimiri Massage this bodywork is always performed safely and respectfully with your highest purpose honored as it is a sacred spiritual contract. If you trust in the process and breathe as directed, you will be amazed at the releases. I will only go as deep as your body and wairua (spirit) allows.
If you are ready for a transforming experience and really want to let go of old issues and repeating patterns, we can go there in one session. It will be challenging and rewarding and the best way of shifting ‘energy not belonging to you’ in a short time.
Some people prefer to come back for a second Romiromi Massage before going to this deeper level as your body takes time to integrate to the change in vibration and the emotional releases that can sometimes occur during or after your session. You may feel tired after and sleep soundly and later feel re-energised and re-juvenated
A Romiromi Massage is usually with clothes on except for problem areas (often back). You can also have a combination of Mirimiri Massage and Romiromi Massage in which case underwear and towel cover is appropriate. My space is always safe and warm.

Miri Miri or Makoha
​
-
Miri Miri or Makoha - meaning natural gift - is the traditional holistic healing tradition or massage technique of the Maori, the indigenous people of Aotearoa/New Zealand. It is steeped in Maori customs and culture, encompassing whanau ora (family health), tinana ora (physical health), hinengaro ora (mental health) and wairua ora (spiritual health). Maori culture is thought to originate from the Pacific Ocean, while the language has links to Tahitian and Hawaiian - and is closely associated and inspired by the natural world and its power. Miri miri is very much a holistic tradition, used for healing the physical and spiritual elements of a person’s life. This is in contrast to Western massage techniques which are primarily focused on the physical.
Miri miri / Makoha massage takes much of its inspiration from the natural elements, specifically:
A massage dance is preceded by a karakia (traditional prayer) and waiata (song) that will soothe and welcome your spirit. The actual massage is characterized by a technique that uses therapeutic rhythmic strokes inspired by the tempo of the ocean. Heated cloths that have been infused in traditional Maori herbs are also utilized and are applied to the body - particularly the feet. Therapists will also use gentle breathe techniques, to transfer their energy to the client - for a balanced, soothing and deeply relaxing experience.

Mirimiri is a therapeutic massage with a difference… taking Wellness to another level.
When you choose this deeply relaxing massage, you will feel uplifted and lighter!
As I have been taught, Mirimiri is the connection/support for Romiromi, massage therapy to ease into Romiromi.
It is also the korero (talk) that accompanies the bodywork which enables you to breath better and work with your me to release any tension or energy blockages.
Mirimiri can be a standalone treatment; a therapeutic massage with our native kawakawa oil. Your practitioner will tune into your etheric and light bodies and work on a non-physical level to bring your energies into balance.
Similar to Romiromi the aim of Mirimiri is to balance your Mauri (life principal) and Wairua (Spirit).
Some people benefit just as much having a Mirimiri massage as they would a Romiromi especially if their vibration is already light!
For a first treatment, a combination of both Mirimiri and Romiromi is a popular choice.
You will experience tension-release as muscles relax with soft to deep tissue massage, more body freedom and space for an increased flow of energy as spiritual energies flow through to invigorate and protect the body.
If you have come for a deep relaxation and de-stressing treatment, that is exactly what you will get from your Mirimiri massage plus other benefits specific to your needs. Your practitioner will work intuitively to maximize the best outcome and restorative experience for you.
