Mirimiri | Romiromi

Mirimiri and Romiromi is a traditional Māori healing and bodywork practice that focuses on restoring flow, balance, improving functionality, and relieving deep bodily tension by stimulating tissue, muscles, bones, blood, and fluids. This practice involves a range of methods, including applying pressure to pressure points using tools like kōhatu (stones), taongo puoro (Māori musical instruments), waiata, karakia, and other techniques for aligning the spine or joints, at times, utilizing hands, feet, elbows, and body weight to manipulate muscles and tissues whilst nourishing and creating a safe space for you to realign and attune to your natural state.
