Wikitoria Maori Healing - Ngongotahā

Kia ora,

In 2001, feeling my life was out of balance I went on some deep soul searching and met a Tohunga the late Patrick Ruka who guided me in a ‘Pure’ ceremony on the shores of Lake Rotoiti, Rotorua. This opened up a spiritual door leading me to the traditional Māori healing clinic in Auckland run by Papa Joe. After my first Romiromi I knew this was my path and had the opportunity to train with Ruatau Perez with Papa as mentor. In 2010 I opened Wikitoria Māori Healing in Rotorua offering healing bodywork and later teaching .

Papa Hohepa De La Mere from the Whānau a Apanui tribe was a world renown Tohunga and teacher. He shared with us the centuries old ‘Waananga lore’ of traditional Māori healing based on universal principles dating back 4000 years. It is a taonga (treasure) passed down from our tupuna (ancestors).

This transformative journey has allowed me to help people from all walks of life heal naturally and holistically utilising the gifts from my ancestors and the ancient whare wānanga . Specialising in Romiromi has given me the opportunity to facilitate Māori healing workshops in Aotearoa, Australia, Hawaii, Germany and Scotland.  I am very grateful and passionate to be doing this work.

A special thank you to my dear cousin Timoti Huia Bramley (Tainui, Ngati Whakaue, Tuwharetoa) who has worked alongside me for the past eight years assisting with workshops in Europe, Aotearoa and here in Rotorua with his profound and intuitive counselling and Romiromi treatments. A big mihi also to Cran Gage (Whanau a Apanui) who has been a great support assisting me also with the Romiromi workshops for the past six years . He is ACC accredited and offers Romiromi in Gisborne.

My biggest acknowledgement and aroha is to my ancestors, my aunties and uncles who were healers, and Papa Joe for the Whare Waananga, the body of traditional Māori healing wisdom and knowledge… a gift from the Ancient Ones, he taonga tuku iho.

I specialise in Romiromi supported by Mirimiri; a combination of deep bodywork, body alignment, release of blocked energy through pressure on the haemata (key body points), kaupare (ancient prayer) and counselling.

Our traditional bodywork impacts the central nervous system at a cellular level. All the body systems are invigorated to help shift the body back into balance closer to its natural state of being. …A grounding experience. A Māori healing Romiromi can benefit people of all cultures and all ages whether you are fit and healthy or have a challenging illness.

Arohanui, Wikitoria
