Work Alongside Us

Trauma-Informed Rongoā Māori Atua Healing Practitioners. We work with other health professionals, such as GPs, psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychotherapists.

 

We approach each client with compassion we focus on their goals to help them by creating a clear path for their recovery and rehabilitation

Trauma-Informed Rongoā Māori Atua Healing is a non-invasive energy healing; it will not create any contraindications if your patients are on medication or in therapy.

We work within the Rongoā Māori Atua Healing Framework, which we call The Five Protocols. This is to address your patient who has been given a diagnosis of Complex PTSD, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, or is suffering from traumatic events such as a loss of a child, a sibling, a parent, or a grandparent. Your patient may have physical injuries resulting from an accident or a medical event that has significantly impacted their hauora. (wellbeing)

Your patients are in good hands when they work with a Trauma-Informed Rongoā Māori Atua Healing Practitioner.

Trauma-Informed Rongoā Māori Atua Healing The Five Protocols

 

#1. Safety

The Atua Healing safety protocol is to address the symptoms of Hypervigilance, Hyperarousal, Flashbacks, Dissociation, and Inability to focus.

The brain is where trauma is stored. This includes the forebrain (the prefrontal cortex), the limbic system located in the brain's centre, and the brain stem.

When a person experiences a traumatic event or ongoing events, adrenaline rushes through the body, and memories are imprinted into the amygdala, part of the limbic system.

Our Goal: To help the energy flow so our client can rebuild healthy daily living patterns.

#2. Sleeping

The Atua Healing® sleep protocol shifts the disruptive sleep patterns of being afraid to go off to sleep, night terrors, light sleeping, interrupted sleep, and insomnia, which can also be related to stress.

The hypothalamus contains groups of nerve cells that act as control centres affecting sleep; this can create gaps in your memory, lack of concentration, moodiness, emotional outbursts, and difficulty staying alert.

Regaining your sleep health is an important part of long-term recovery for anyone who lives with Complex PTSD, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, and the many daily grinds that life can bring.

Our Goal: Is to restore our client's sleep pattern.

#3. Reactions

The Atua Healing® reaction protocol shifts the fears we have about feeling our emotions. By building resilience, we can move away from the reactive aspects of our emotions and thoughts.

We are working with all aspects of the limbic system to release the stored emotions that can trigger unhealthy responses.

Learning to notice your emotions brings personal freedom and a real sense of personal accomplishment, as they no longer dominate you.

Our Goal: Is to assist the client in noticing, naming, and neutralising the emotion so that emotions no longer feel like a threat.

 

#4. Repetitive

The Atua Healing repeating patterns protocol shifts the destructive behaviours, such as addiction, and the inability to care for yourself in all areas of life.

The prefrontal cortex, where thought and planning occur, is also the control centre for which habits are switched on, and the off button is in the infralimbic cortex.

When you break away from the many unhealthy behaviours that have suffocated you daily, you start to experience more enthusiasm for your life.

Our Goal: Repair and restore the flow of energy within the brain to re-establish healthy patterns.

#5. Balance

The Atua Healing® Balance protocol shifts the battle with procrastinating and feeling overwhelmed, like you need to control your environment.

This results in a constant ongoing battle in our brain between the limbic system and the prefrontal cortex.

An important part of long-term recovery for anyone who lives with PTSD, Depression, and Anxiety is to move from the daily chaos of the mind taking control, which leaves you frazzled, to maintain the ease of daily living.

Goal: To establish clear, regular routines to move out of the ongoing chaotic energy from any trauma.
