“He taonga te Mirimiri mā te katoa – mō ngā mātua, mō ngā kaumātua, mō ngā tamariki. He oranga Mirimiri, he oranga whānau.”

This week a hapū mama brought her kōtiro along to her session. At the end, I gave her girl a short mirimiri too 💚

Mirimiri isn’t just for us as individuals, it’s for the whole whānau 🌿
