Press Release – Rotorua Massage Retreat – Opening

Wikitoria Maori Healing-Traditional Maori Massage

“an ancient pathway to re-align mind ,body and soul-an uplifting experience”

A new Wellness Tourism service for the visitor and for the local community who wants an authentic and traditional Maori massage with a difference, opening September 1, 2010. Location – 115D Te Akau Rd, (edge of Lake Rotoiti), a twenty minute drive from Rotorua and five minutes from the popular Okere Falls Store and Cafe.

Perched above the ponga trees abundant with native bird life and overlooking Lake Rotoiti, the Wikitoria Maori Healing Lakeside Retreat is a unique Maori inspired environment offering manaakitanga and  professional service by trained traditional bodywork practitioners Wikitoria Oman and Shayne Bennett, Ngati Whakaue and Ngati Pikiao.

Not widely available throughout New Zealand or any other country in the world, this ancient Polynesian bodywork is based on the centuries old ‘Waananga Lore’ of Traditional Maori Healing and embraces all aspects of your dynamic human and spiritual body.

Traditional Massage Therapies on offer include Romiromi Massage, Mirimiri Massage, Hawaiian Massage, Couples Massage and Pregnancy Massage. There is also a Spiritual Healing consultation for a non physical therapy.

You are honoured as you are safely guided through your chosen massage therapy and healing experience.  On completion of your Massage a cup of therapeutic kawakawa and manuka tea is served as your body integrates and settles into its more balanced and relaxed state.  Traditional oils, Maori music, Maori artwork and books and a korero (talk) with your massage practitioner, all contribute to a unique and uplifting cultural experience !

The special Couples Massage is designed for two people to experience a traditional Massage of your choice at the same time.  If only one person wants a massage your friend or partner is welcome to relax at our Lakeside Retreat and drive you home or back to your hotel afterwards!

Wikitoria and Shayne have twenty years of combined bodywork and healing experience behind them and are greatly fulfilled by being able to share this sacred pathway to health and wellbeing with tangata whenua, the local community and people from all cultures of the world, all religions (as it is based on universal laws)all ages and all body types .  Depending on your state of health and fitness your massage therapy will be guided by what is special and appropriate for you at the time. You will receive exactly what you are ready for ! “We only go as deep as your body and wairua (spirit) allows”.

Romiromi massage therapy is more intense physically as pressure points are activated and your body is gently manipulated and re-aligned.  Deep tissue massage is also applied .  A vibrational shift occurs as cellular memory and energy blockages are released.   You will experience a feeling of ‘waking up’ and feel more connected to you.  If you are at a stage where you want to release ‘old stuff’ and get on with a dynamic life then this is an excellent therapy to choose!

If you want to be pampered and experience deep relaxation an indigenous therapeutic   Mirimiri  Massage or flowing Hawaiian Ka Huna Massage will satisfy your needs.  As your body is massaged (soft and deep tissue) the layers of your emotional and spiritual bodies are also being activated with the aim to bring your mind, body and soul back to a restorative state of balance.

A combination of Mirimiri Massage and Romiromi is a popular combination of therapies and a natural path to health, wellness and vitality !

Nau mai Haere mai –You are welcome !

Testimonial

‘I have experienced many different forms of massage and energy clearing but not until my Romiromi session with Wiki did I find all of these forms brought together in one complete session. Wiki addressed every area of my body and spirit with reverence and I felt completely cherished following my session. For you and those who you know, a Romiromi session with Wiki provides many gifts.’
