RONGOĀ MĀORI HEALER
JOANNE HAKARAIA
Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāti Whakaue
Joanne is a Rongoā Māori healer and has been healing for nearly 20 years. She works with traditional plant medicine and draws upon the ancient traditions and life-force of the ngahere to facilitate healing.
"I started Rongoā Mauri as a means to bridge the mauri of rākau (Light codes of the Mareikura) to the modern world. We do this through our workshops, wānanga, mauri healing and rongoā mauri products."
