Waitapu Tohunga Matakite Consultant is an ACC-registered Rongoā Māori provider based in Hawkes Bay.
My ACC Rongoā Māori practice includes but is not limited to:
- Tohunga (Māori Spiritual Practitioner)
- Wairua whakawhitiwhiti kōrero (Spiritual Counselling, including Parapsychology).
My practice is founded on the knowledge and wisdom of traditional Māori healing and is evolving into a diverse inclusive holistic way of being.
Taherama Tamatea: ACC Registered Rongoā Māori Practitioner
My practice was initially informed by my mother, my grandfather (my mother's father); my granduncle Kapi Adams; my involvement with Church affiliations, training and positions of responsibility within the Church; my many years practice as a Registered Nurse; many Kuia, Koroua (elders); mentors Māori and Tauiwi (people from other cultures) along with continuing personal experiences, learning and teaching experiences overseas with other indigenous cultures, qualifications in both worlds, personal and professional development.
For the last 7 years, I have been working internationally, facilitating "Helping people to help themselves."
I have weaved Te Taha Wairua and Mauri healing into everything I have done throughout my life. However, I wanted to be able to use Wairākau that could complement my practice. In 2005, I completed a Homeo-botanical Certificate (Wairākau infused medicines), 2008, and 2009, I completed Rongoā Māori courses.
I believe that one person's healing experience helps to heal and strengthen their "whole whakapapa (genealogy)."
