Tēnā tātou 🌿
Havent done an update in ages for myself and Rongo Ora.
💚 I do Rongoā Māori - Mirimiri, Romiromi and Rongoā , but am not currently taking on any ACC kiritaki or much of any mahi personally unless some whanaunga happen to catch me in the right place at the right time - it happens 🧚♀️
💚 Currently the Rongoā Māori in a Whare herehere in Tāmaki Makaurau but back home to Te Nōta to ground regularly.
💚 Taumata Rongoā- I stepped back to have a break from the mirimiri mahi and my good friend Shane has stepped in to help out so if you see him at Mangamuka or Horeke clinics - he is amazing at what he does and a good friend of mine.
🐝 So the past couple of months I’ve been focusing on doing less Romiromi/ Mirimiri and reconnecting with the whenua. Needing the break and it’s been amazing how it’s all worked out.
🔥 Rongoā Māori has gotten so hot over the last couple of years which is a good thing but not so good if our Pou Rongoā are overdoing it and burning out like I’ve been doing 🫣 One of my biggest recommendations is the need for self care and healers can be the worst at it.
💚 Lastly for recommendations for Rongoā Māori:
- Look out for local Mirimiri or Romiromi clinics which majority are mostly koha based and are all over the place now.
- Check the Rongoā Māori practitioners list on ACC and check for who is in your area you can contact. (Rongo Ora is on the list but I’m currently not taking kiritaki on)
- Many health clinics have Rongoā Māori access now.
- Ask around
- Good old google
And lastly if you’re looking for someone, just go with your gut. You’ll be guided to the right person.
