Mirimiri Practitioner Training

Trauma-Informed Rongoā Māori Bodywork Training

BODYWORK TRAINING

‘Trauma-Informed Rongoā Māori Mirimiri’

Healing Mirimiri for your whānau & your clients.

This training introduces practitioners to a gentle and culturally grounded approach to bodywork that honours both traditional Rongoā Māori healing practices and trauma-informed care.

In Te Ao Māori, healing recognises the deep connection between tinana (body), hinengaro (mind), and wairua (spirit). Life experiences such as stress, trauma, grief, and emotional overwhelm can become held within the tinana (body), creating tension, fatigue, anxiety, or emotional heaviness.

Through trauma-informed Mirimiri, we work slowly and respectfully with the body to restore the natural flow of energy, strengthen mauri, and create a sense of safety and calm within the nervous system.

A central part of this training is learning to work with Te Ha — the sacred breath.

Breath carries life force and energy. Through conscious breathing practices, practitioners learn how to support the movement and transmutation of energy that has become locked or stagnant within the body. Te Ha allows the body to soften, release held tension, and restore natural energetic flow.

This work supports people who may be experiencing:

• Anxiety and overwhelm
• Depression and low energy
• PTSD and trauma responses
• Neurodivergent
• Sleep difficulties
• Mental fatigue or lack of clarity
