Kahukura Māori Healing
Healing Body, Mind & Spirit
Kahukura Rongoa Maori Charitable Trust Estd 2021
In 2014 Christchurch City Council and Mahaanui Kura Taiao Ltd hosted our first dawn planting to return the mauri at the Kāputahi and Puharakeke-nui confluence. Eleven years later we remain active regenerators of whenua, puna, awa and ngahere O-Urihia.Treatments include mirimiri and romiromi (bodywork) and whitiwhiti kōrero and karakia (pastoral care) and encompass all aspects of wellbeing – te taha whānau, te taha tinana, te taha hinengaro, te taha wairua.
Nature Based Healing
I nga wa o mua ... in times past, our land and waterways flourished. Tangata Whenua retained a connection with nature and ancestors for a supernatural experience. Knowledge of Rongoa Maori healing was passed one generation to the next. Whanau culture and spirituality was fluid - rich in knowledge and technology.

Ko Maire Parewaiterangi Kipa ahau te teina a Aperahama Te Aika Kipa. Greetings everyone, I'm Maire and I provide project management support to Kahukura Rongoa Maori clinic and reserve. I take queries for appointments and direct them to our Tohunga Rongoa, Tohunga Whakairo and Kai-raranga.
Learning about Te Whare Tangata, Atua Wahine and Kaitiakitanga has deepened my commitment to grow rongoa Maori as a way to protect against urbanisation that harms ancestral land and waterways. When we reconnect with our tupuna, their stories, the best spaces for mara kai and native flora and fauna, new bush is revealed to us. Its nature based learning and healing at its best. Whakapai te whenua, Whakapai te tangata...E hoa ma - Nau mai tauti mai ki Kaputahi Rongoa Maori Reserve.
You can also contact me for a S27 Cultural Report in accordance with the NZ Sentencing Act 2002 All queries to maire@kahukuramaorihealing.org.nz
