Mirimiri Traditional Maori Massage

Experience the healing touch of Jamie Hiriaki, a skilled massage practitioner specialising in Maori massage techniques, including Romiromi and Mirimiri. Nestled in the tranquil shadow of Maungatautari, Jamie provides a sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation through her practice.

Maori massage, goes beyond physical touch to nurture the mind, body, and spirit. Romiromi and Mirimiri techniques work holistically to release tension, restore balance, relieve stress and promote overall wellbeing.

This is a relaxing massage accompanied by natural oils to re-energise your spiritual harmony. Mirimiri is our Wairua (spirit) or connection to nature.

More about Jamie

Jamie's knowledge is underpinned by her upbringing (Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngāti Tūwharetoa and Ngāti Hikairo), where from childhood, her grandmother, nana and great-aunts would use rongoā for healing.

After becoming a mother and being influenced by her work in a kindergarten that followed a Rudolf Steiner holistic approach to education and living, her passion for rongoā was reignited. Completing formal studies, Jamie has achieved the Appreciation for Rongoā Māori course and a Diploma of Rongoā Māori through Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. 

Jamie has also trained in Romiromi, a holistic form of spiritual bodywork. As an avid learner, she is currently studying with Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi, in a Kai Oranga course that teaches Food Sovereignty and Hua Parakore (Māori Organics).
