Introductory training, self-healing, knowledge and mentoring support.

This is a 2-day where we learn the foundations of RomiRomi and/or MiriMiri and focus on the deep pressure work and integration of that energy.
This training is a mixture of ceremony, learning and personal and professional development. Co-creators (trainees) will learn about spiritual energies and knowledge of techniques with a focus on mental health, emotional health, and spiritual realms.
Introduction to working in energetic neutrality
Bodywork practice: Roimata and Haemata – internal & external vital points throughout the body
This work is a Māori practice and is taught within a Māori framework and worldview, however, Māori and non-Māori are welcome.
Those who are drawn towards learning for their own growth are encouraged to attend.
About MiriMiri & Romiromi
MiriMiri is a soft hands energy form that comes deeply from the heart and can be practiced alone, or to support the practice of RomiRomi.
The technique involves dropping people into the vibration of the ocean with soft to deep tissue work that prepares clients for the depth of RomiRomi work.

Kind Words from past Ako Torowhānui Participants
Renee Harata
A big thank you for all that you created for us in wānanga.
Kyla Hatsell-Pasene
The space that was created at made me feel safe and open. I knew I could be however I needed to be. And when you can allow yourself to surrender in to that, you can start to heal decades of upsets and trauma.
Learning to trust my intuition and owning my truth is nourishing for the soul and the positive changes manifest into reality.
Rebecca Smith
Going to this wananga was one of the best things I ever done.
I was scared as hell to go, but one bit of advice I can give you is everyone going to these are there for the same reason to heal. Love always sis, grateful always.
Sarmantha Coffey
Ako Torowhānui has really helped me to evolve in every area in my life.
To understand myself more. To connect more to my culture, it feels like a huge missing link in my life.
The gift of RomiRomi is definitely a part of me and learning this practice has brought me deeper into my knowing and purpose and how I can better show up for myself, the world and the people who desire and need this.
Jaime Mackie
The training experience has been a pivotal part of my spiritual journey. Feeling safe and how to protect my energy and wanting to practice healing in this modality.
The experience gave me confidence on all levels of what I can do for others, it is undeniable when you feel it with all your sense.
Kirsti Ladner
Oh my heart!! Romi-Romi and Miri-Miri pressure point healing haha! It’s not for the faint hearted I can tell you that!
But oh so so honoured to be embraced and taught by Gabrielle Walker and all the other amazing people in this intake. Such a soulful group. Thank you for all the knowledge sharing and stories of your beautiful culture and translating all these new words for me.
Sudevi Walker
I am totally blown away by the transformation that has occurred for myself. I’ve also come a long way with my treatments, I see healing so much more than being on the table. The art of expressing and communicating how and what we are feeling within and doing it in a safe space where you don’t feel judged. That in it self is a real cleanse.Looking forward to this new chapter, Much love.
Marissa Stewart-Cook
I only ever dreamed a time as this.
I am so incredibly grateful to have landed in a community and space that accepts you as you are, allows you to learn and find your own unique abilities…
Never did I ever truly believe I would be holding space for healing, yet here I am answering the call. When I tell you the universe lands you in places you are meant to be I truly mean it! Your mind is powerful beyond measure and what a life it can create when you allow it space to be curious and your self to trust… This experience was incredible and a step forward in reclaiming my culture through practice of Mirimiri & Romi romi. Let this be a reminder you are enough always, as you are! I will forever be a student of life, open to learning, growing and changing every step of the way.
