What we provide for whanau - Services

Rongoā Māori  - Mirimiri / Romiromi  

 ACC claims / EAP funded / Vitae funded

Romiromi/Mirimiri involves bodywork manipulation techniques aimed at alleviating discomfort, making it beneficial for our whanau dealing with persistent injuries, aches, or sprains. Emphasizing the importance of aftercare, we typically provide this information after your initial session.

At Hōkioi Therapy, we believe everyone deserves access to healing and support — no matter their financial situation. 

Our koha-based counselling sessions & Mirimiri / Romiromi  bodywork are open to all whānau who may not be able to access funded counselling services.

Koha means gift or offering. Instead of a fixed fee, you’re invited to contribute what you can — whether big or small — as a gesture of appreciation and support. This approach is grounded in the values of manaakitanga (care and generosity) and whanaungatanga (connection and belonging).

Our goal is to create a safe, welcoming space for kōrero, healing, and wellbeing, so you can focus on your journey without the stress of financial barriers.

Cultural Supervision for Professional Staff

Cultural Supervision is a formal, reflective, and supportive process designed to uphold the integrity, safety, and professionalism of Rongoā Māori practice within Hōkioi Therapy Ltd. This process provides practitioners with structured guidance grounded in tikanga Māori and Te Ao Māori values to ensure culturally safe and ethical service delivery across all aspects of practice, including mirimiri, romiromi, and kōrero.

The purpose of Cultural Supervision is to:

Maintain adherence to tikanga and kaupapa Māori principles in all client interactions.

Support practitioner wellbeing, personal reflection, and professional growth.

Provide cultural accountability and guidance to ensure safe, respectful, and appropriate application of Rongoā Māori methods.

Strengthen the spiritual, emotional, and physical integrity of both practitioner and client within the healing relationship. Cultural Supervision may be delivered through kanohi ki te kanohi (face-to-face) meetings, group wānanga, or individual reflective sessions facilitated by an experienced Rongoā Māori supervisor.

All practitioners are expected to engage in regular Cultural Supervision to ensure ongoing professional competency, alignment with Māori values, and compliance with Hōkioi Therapy Ltd’s cultural and ethical standards.
