Teena Te Maro runs Manaaki Tangata, offering traditional Rongoā Māori healing grounded in Matauranga Māori tikanga. The practice centres on mirimiri and romiromi bodywork, ranging from gentle relaxation massage to release tension and anxiety through to deep-tissue soft-tissue treatments for tight muscles, sports conditioning, and musculoskeletal injury recovery. Sessions take place in a dedicated wairua space and weave together physical bodywork with kōrero, waiata, and karakia, supported by Rongoā Rākau balms and remedies crafted from native Aotearoa plant extracts and natural oils.
The focus here is holistic care that treats underlying causes rather than isolated symptoms, suiting anyone from whānau seeking restorative balance to athletes working through intensive training recovery. Based on Claudelands Road in Hamilton East, sessions are booked directly by phone or online. Our pick in Hamilton East for authentic traditional bodywork that nurtures both body and spirit.
