Introducing Tiana Te Moana from Rongoa nga Mata who has been a dear friend and kaiako for 5 years.
I was privileged to walk and learn alongside Tiana's gifted mum Tania as she courageously navigated cancer. Tiana and I are both using this experience from pain to purpose. Tiana has whānau commitments, but will still hopefully join us in the afternoon of the 6th April for wānanga. Hopefully we can cocreate a rongoā hospital or at least a whare hauora and wānanga in honour of Tania.
Tania was one of the first wāhine mast carvers and she painted the beautiful image of hine nui te pō below. Tania was also a gifted kaimirimiri and matakite. I was blessed to have experienced mother and daughter at mahi together. I'm excited to observe Tania's mokopuna grow into their own giftings.

Honohono and Mirimiri Sessions with Jay
Oceans Melody Aligned

Originally from Germany, I found my soul’s home in New Zealand, and my path here led me through my own deep unravelling and into the transformative wisdom of traditional Māori healing. I bring that lived journey into every session.

These treatments weave together intuitive guidance, energy healing, and bodywork to support the nervous system, emotional release, and a genuine reconnection with yourself from the inside out. Each session is shaped by presence, intention, and care, guided entirely by what is alive for you on the day.

Oceans Melody Aligned | Jay Jaksche offers energy healing, bodywork, and intuitive coaching to release stress, restore balance, and reconnect with your true self. Christchurch based and online worldwide
