Introducing the foundations of authentic Māori bodywork and healing. Connect to cultural knowledge and practice! Gain insight, rediscover your potential and experience personal transformation at this unique 2-day event! This workshop is for anyone; whether you are a beginner or experienced practitioner.
Authentic Mirimiri/Romiromi is a powerful indigenous healing modality. This is often in contrast to the widely held misconception that it is merely another form of massage. You will be immersed in the cultural concepts and foundational philosophies of health and wellbeing that underpin the traditional practice of Mirimiri/Romiromi; including the importance of self-care. You will be given the tools and confidence to utilise Mirimiri and Romiromi not only as a form of healing for yourself and others, but as a way of life. Many people experience their own personal healing and transformation during this workshop.
Jolie Davis is an established traditional practitioner and educator (formally a trained nurse) from Te Rarawa/Ngati Kuri; currently based in Lower Hutt.
This workshop is recommended as a training option for staff and employees; ie; counsellors, social workers, health workers, teachers and clinical practitioners looking to expand their cultural awareness/understanding and by doing so engage more effectively with whānau. Talk to your employer or organisation about supporting your attendance for the purpose of professional development.
Suitable as an introduction for total beginners (you don't need any experience), Kaimirimiri or established practitioners looking to develop their knowledge around the bodywork; so that you can begin working towards reclaiming wellness for yourself, your whānau and your community. Please note this 2-day workshop will not qualify you as a practitioner.
