Hot Pilates 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️

This is one of my own mahi rongoā.

Move energy. Release the heaviness. Connect back into the tinana. Werawera.

Quick trip up north.
Left mahi rongoā in whare herehere and into mahi rongoā back home. Not much planning- just happens.

One night of peaceful sleep left me feeling like I had adhd this morning. Best sleep in 2 weeks. It’s just so quiet and super dark at home.

Morning rongoā harvest for the day.
Looked at the murky awa this morning and no way was gonna swim across it to get to the Tūpākihi so did the easiest thing and parked under a Tūpākihi to harvest.

A good cook up of Tūpākihi for a hot compress for sore aches and pains and then onto make such a yummy inu - wairongoā. Kawakawa, feijoa, lemon and honey. The pepper, the sweet, the sour and the feijoa omg it was good and everyone loved it. More Rongoā also for the whare herehere.

Mahi rongoā for the day. Mirimiri. Romiromi. Whanaungatanga. What a mean as day. To the ones on the table - well done you guys ✨ I could feel the trust and surrender - powerful stuff. You allowed yourself to let go. Healing happens when you allow it to happen, and everyone did that today.

A good dinner at legit in kaitaia, and guys if you haven’t had a legit burger, far out you don’t know what you’re missing 😂 with the cuz and then back off to Tamaki Makaurau before this bad weather hits. Take care out there x

This place has become a regular when I’m in Auckland. Hot yoga🧘 Hot Pilates

It’s become a Rongoā for me. Good way to waatea the hinengaro after a long day at mahi. I’d recommend giving it a go.

I’m in there trying to breath and hold a side plank. It’s harder than it looks.

Strong crew right here ⬆️

Where does strength begin? WITH THE MIND.

Your body wants to move and be put to good use, to strengthen, build resilience - yet it's the mind that has to get you there. It's the mindset, disciplined and accountable, that ensures you show up on the mat, giving back to the most valuable asset you have ever been gifted. The one you live in every moment, of every day, for your whole entire life ✨

Kia ora e te whānau,

Just because I swear doesn’t mean I’m aggressive or attacking anyone. If you don’t like swearing you’re probably better off not following this page cos I swear all the time.

It’s how I express myself — real, honest, me being me. Swearing isn’t always anger… sometimes it’s passion, sometimes humour, sometimes just kōrero straight from the ngākau.

You can be respectful and still be real.

If you know me, you know my heart. If you don’t and take offense to my kōrero - it’s easy to unfollow.

Aroha 🤍

⚠️ This post has ruffled some feathers. Yes there’s swearing and yes there’s real-time sharing of thoughts. If you’re failing to see what the message is actually about- simple: unfollow.

I happened to be walking alongside a pastor and we got chatting.

Then he turns to me and says. My wife is a massage therapist. How is that any different to what you do?

Maybe it was a harmless question but it irked me. It all felt off.

I tell ya I had to ‘Ha ki roto, Ha ki waho’ cos damn I felt a trigger coming on and I could feel the heat of hōhā rising in my body 😂 🙄

Tbh in my head I was thinking who does this ignorant colonist motherfu*ker think he is……… but I took a big fu*kn breath and kept it real.

Rongoā Māori is nothing like a massage. It’s an entire system of healing. Working through thought patterns and mindsets and emotions, connecting yourself to everything around you. Connecting back to yourself and your whakapapa. Restoring balance. The body holds onto what we think and what we do and that’s only a small part of what Rongoā Māori is as it’s in everything we do.

Then he looks at me in surprise and says I’d like to know more as we went in our own directions. 🤨 yeah idk bout that, I have trust issues.

I’m very respectful to all beliefs. You should see my wairua world 😂 it has abit of everything in it. All I could ask for is mutual respect and understanding.

🌿 kumarahou wairongoā

Just added in what we had in the cupboard

Turmeric, lemon and honey. Kept it kinda light for my kotiro. She’s been away mostly the last 3 years so she’s getting used to the kawa of the kumarahou again.

This morning she said to me it’s yuck 😂 but the pot is nearly gone. She knows Rongoā.

1st day back in Mangamuka clinic and it feels good to be back in community.

Rongoā Māori
More than just a mirimiri

Asking yourself why you’re anxious? Why you have pain? Why do you feel off?

Any internal or external pain has a whakapapa.

Rongoā Māori can be confrontational. It’s healing the in and out. It’s more than just a mirimiri.

Mahi, ACC, Corrections- working in the prison, passion, experience, trauma, culture, connection, .…….

✨ Rongo Ora
🌿 Rongoā Māori
💚 Tāne Māori
✨ Whare herehere

Oh yeah I don’t have time for pretty videos 😂 It is what it is ✌️

Another thing to add, my intention and journey in Rongoā Māori was and is never about personal or monetary gain. When your intentions align, naturally you manifest or attract back what you need and want. S**t I personally could think of a few less stressful ways to make some putea but I chose Rongoā and Rongoā chose me.
