In the past forty years there has been a revival and resurgence of traditional Māori language and arts including traditional Māori healing. For the first time this healing modality is being taught in the UK through a unique workshop with Māori teachers Wikitoria and Timoti who are traveling from Aotearoa (New Zealand) to share their knowledge.

This unique workshop will share the wisdom of Māori tradition and Romiromi bodywork drawing on this ancient body of sacred knowledge dating back 4000 years. It is a taonga (treasure) passed down from their tupuna (ancestors).

Romiromi is a centuries old holistic Māori health practice that was traditionally passed down in families as an integral part of health and wellness. It is beneficial for all ages and all cultures. The intensity of the work can vary from very light to very deep depending on the skills of the practitioner and the needs of the recipient. Working at a deep cellular level a Romiromi treatment can reverse dysfunction in the body by releasing blocked energy allowing the body to regain its natural flow of mauri (life force). More vitality, more mobility, relief from pain, loss of anxiety, more mental clarity, more energy and motivation can all be experienced after a Romiromi.

Romiromi can structurally integrate the body, mind and spirit. It works on the central nervous system connecting the light bodies with the physical, mental and emotional bodies. As a treatment it is a combination of body alignment, deep tissue massage and pressure on the haemata (body pressure points) to activate release of blocked energy and anything not serving or belonging to the body. The practitioner facilitates the removal of blocked cellular memory stored in the body. At a deep level it can release lifetimes of trauma and disfunction held within families for generations causing imbalance and disease by reprogramming the DNA.

After a Romiromi treatment, people feel lighter as they have returned closer to their original vibration. The spiritual energies are able to flow through the body invigorating, nourishing and protecting the internal organs and body systems. On a deeper spiritual level it can clear patterns of addiction,sexual interference and inherited behaviours passed down through generations.

Traditional Māori healing in the form of Romiromi encompasses the spiritual, mental, emotional, the conscious, the subconscious, the tribal, the universal and the soft and deep tissue levels. Because human beings function through the heart and soul, Maori healing embrace these gifts in diagnosis and treatment.

This ancient wisdom was nearly lost with the Tohunga Suppression Act 1907 in New Zealand that banned all Māori spiritual and cultural practices including Romiromi and traditional Māori medicine to make way for western medicine. Not repealed until 1967 this law had a devastating effect on the Māori population’s health.

Fortunately Romiromi, and other forms of traditional Māori healing did survive as it was still practiced unofficially and underground. While much was lost over this sixty year period this knowledge is now again being shared as the practice is once again taught openly.

The workshops will be facilitated by Wikitoria Oman and her cousin Timoti Huia Bramley
