Te Arateatea Traditional Maori Healing

Te Arateatea Traditional Maori Healing Te Ara Teatea’s vision is to share wisdom and tools from our ancient Māori tradition Te Ara Teatea is the evolution of what was previously known as Te Maurea.

Now based in Ōtautahi/Christchurch, Ruatau Perez continues his mahi as a kaiako and practitioner of rongoā Māori (traditional Māori healing) alongside his partner. Ruatau (Ngāpuhi, Ngāi Tuhoe) was privileged enough to have trained under renowned tohunga Hohepa Delamere - more affectionately known as ‘Papa Jo’ - for 10 years. Since Papa’s passing, Ruatau has continued to share the esoteric teachings of whare waananga lore, treating countless people using traditional Māori healing modalities and hosting waananga throughout the motu and world. Ruatau’s specialties as a traditional Māori healing practitioner include romiromi, mirimiri, koomirimiri, wai rākau and whare waananga lore. Many of his past students can be found practising throughout Aotearoa, Australia and worldwide. Te Ara Teatea’s page is a platform from which we will share information about everything from upcoming waananga and romiromi/mirimiri clinics, to snippets of esoteric mātauranga, which we hope will inspire and stimulate the sharing of heart-centered kōrero within our community.

** Ōtautahi community clinic**

Our romiromi/mirimiri community clinic is held every Wednesday evening, 6-8pm, at Te Ara Teatea Whare Hauora, situated at the Tannery, Woolston.
