Te Oho Mauri | Counselling, Intuitive Healing & Miri Miri

Healing through Wairua, Aroha, and Manaaki

At Te Oho Mauri, we hold space for healing with compassion and care. Our practice is rooted in Mātauranga Māori, guiding individuals and whānau through trauma, grief, and life’s challenges. We support a journey from Te Ao Kore (the unknown) through Te Ao Po (darkness) into Te Ao Mārama (the light), awakening Oho Mauri—a restored and empowered state of being.

Our Approach

We honour the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. Our healing mahi is shaped by karakia, wairuatanga, tikanga, kawa, aroha, whakapapa, and manaakitanga, ensuring a safe, supportive space for transformation.

Mirimiri & Romiromi – Traditional bodywork for physical and spiritual healing
Wairua Intervention – Intuitive healing, karakia, and wai cleansing
Counselling & Whānau Support – Strength-based, trauma-informed approaches
Cultural Supervision – Guiding practitioners in kaupapa Māori frameworks
Māmā Ora – Wellbeing services for mothers, supporting the ora of whānau
