Atua Healing Practitioner Programme

Trauma-Informed Rongoā Māori Energy Healing

‘Awaken the
Healer Within’

Healing for yourself, your family & your clients.

Become a Qualified Trauma-Informed Rongoā Māori Atua Healing Practitioner

Our “Awaken the Healer Within” programme is delivered over a five-month period through a combination of in-person wānanga, e-learning modules and a concluding Marae Noho. Throughout this training, you will learn the core healing principles of Te Ao Māori Rongoā and the Atua Healing method and develop the confidence to offer healing to yourself, your whānau (family), friends, and clients.

We have three stages of learning: Theoretical, Practium, Reflection & Completion.

Trauma-Informed Rongoā Māori Atua Healing. This journey supports you in restoring the natural flow of energy within yourself and others, bringing balance to hinengaro (mind), tinana (body), and wairua (spirit), so you can live with clarity, wellbeing, and purpose.

This pathway supports you in reconnecting with your natural healing ability and stepping forward to become a qualified Trauma-Informed Rongoā Māori Atua Healing practitioner.

    These teachings help us understand the spiritual and natural worlds, and how they support healing, connection, and transformation.


    Understanding Te Manatu – The Mind

    A key part of this learning is understanding Te Manatu, the mind.

    Often, the mind can be the very thing that blocks us from trusting our intuition and accessing our natural spiritual abilities. It can also be the source of inner struggle, fear, and anguish.

    In these modules, you will learn how to quiet the constant mental chatter so you can access greater clarity, calmness, and inner knowing.

    Key Principles of Atua Healing

    Te Iha Manamo – The Infinite Wise Self

    This is the place within where all wisdom and knowledge are held.
    It is the inner library of truth, stillness, and deep calm.


    Kapa Hurō – The Cheering Team

    They walk with you, support you, and encourage your healing journey.

    Kapa Whakareka – The Healing Team

    This team is made up of your spirit guides, guardians, and the Atua or divine beings you believe in.
    They support healing, protection, and spiritual guidance.

    Whatitoka Tapu – Sacred Doorways

    You will discover where these sacred doorways are, what they are, and why they are so important.

    These are the spiritual access points that help you connect more deeply to your own gifts, insight, and healing abilities.


    A Foundational Learning Experience

    Stage One is a theoretical learning journey that lays the groundwork for deeper healing and spiritual development. It is designed to help you build understanding, confidence, and connection before moving further into practice.

    This stage is ideal for those who feel called to reconnect with ancient wisdom, deepen their spiritual awareness, and learn a healing method that can be shared with loved ones in a safe and meaningful way.

Stage Two: Practical Learning

Five One-day Wānanga

Cox’s Bay Pavilion, Westmere, Sundays from 9:30 am to 4 pm

Stage Two is where the knowledge gained in Stage One begins to come alive through practice.

    • June 7th

    • July 5th

    • August 2nd

    • September 6th

    • October 4th

  • In this stage, you will learn how to work directly with the Energy Signature, understanding why we react to life experiences, where those experiences are stored within our energetic system, and how they can shape behavioural patterns that influence the direction of our lives.

    Many people unknowingly carry energetic imprints from past experiences. These imprints can form energetic blockages that disrupt the natural flow of life force, often leading to recurring patterns, emotional struggles, or physical tension in the body.

    Through the Atua Healing® method, you will learn how to identify these blockages, understand how they were formed, and safely support their release so the natural flow of energy can be restored.

    You will develop practical skills to navigate the Energy Signature, unlock blocked layers of energy, and support your own and others' healing so that forward movement and transformation can occur.

    You will also learn how the Energy Signature connects to your personal life timeline, helping you understand where energetic imprints began and how to shift and release what has become stuck

  • Whatitoka Tapu — Sacred Doorways

    Discover where the sacred energetic doorways are within the body and why they are important. These doorways allow you to access deeper levels of spiritual awareness and connect to your own intuitive gifts.


    Te Whakareka Whatitoka Tapu — Sacred Doorway Healing

    A powerful healing technique used to support the clearing of blocked energy. This method can also be used when immediate energetic support is needed.

    Atua Meditation

    A simple yet powerful meditation practice designed to help you to quiet the mind and strengthen your Mauri Connection to your own spiritual gifts and intuitive awareness, and it keeps you clear of any energy transference from others.

    Learn how to do Energy Scanning

    Learn how to sense and feel the energy flow within the body. This skill allows you to identify areas where tension, injury, or imbalance may be present and provide appropriate energy healing.

    The Healing Principles of Atua

    Atua Healing is grounded in the principles of kindness, compassion, and non-judgment.

    When we hold a person in Aroha — unconditional love, we create a safe and supportive space where deep healing and transformation can occur.

    These principles guide how we work with others and ensure that healing is always carried out with respect and integrity.


    The Atua Healing Method

    You will learn how to apply the Atua Healing clearing method to release blocked energy within the Energy Signature.

    By clearing these energetic imprints, we support individuals to move beyond repetitive patterns that may have kept them stuck in unhealthy behaviours or emotional cycles.

    This process restores the natural flow of energy, allowing people to move forward with greater clarity, balance, and wellbeing.

    Te Whakaritenga — Daily Spiritual Practice

    A daily spiritual practice is an essential part of becoming a grounded and clear healer.

    You will learn practical techniques that strengthen your connection between tinana (body), hinengaro (mind), and wairua (spirit) so you can remain balanced while working with others.

    Anatomy of Energy Medicine

    This module introduces the foundations of energy medicine, exploring how energy forms, how it moves through the body, and where the Atua Healing method sits within this wider field of healing practices.

    Understanding this framework helps you work more consciously and effectively with energetic systems.

    Atua Energy Signature Assessment

    You will learn how to assess a person’s Energy Signature to identify where energetic blockages may be held.

    This method helps determine the areas that require healing and also assists practitioners in understanding how many treatments may be beneficial for a client.

    Code of Ethics

    As practitioners, we follow a strong Code of Ethics.

    This ensures we work with integrity, respect, and responsibility toward those who come to us for support.

    Our practice honours the values of Trauma-Informed Rongoā Māori Atua Healing®, ensuring that every client is treated with care, safety, and cultural respect.

    Professional Client Treatment

    In this stage, you will learn how to apply the Atua Healing method in a professional client setting.

    You will develop the confidence and practical skills to provide healing sessions that support people in releasing energetic blocks, restoring balance, and reconnecting with their inner strength.

Stage Three: Reflection & Completion of Learning

Conclude with a Marae Noho

You will be staying at Piritahi Marae, Waiheke Island
