Guided by experience, grounded in care.

What We Offer

Ora Aroha is a whare - a House of Hauora - based in Mangawhai, Northland. We weave together mirimiri massage, energetic healing, rongoā kōrero, hauora workshops and neurodiversity advocacy. 

Traditional Māori frameworks are woven with contemporary practice to create pathways that are inclusive, trauma-aware and grounded in integrity.

Here, healing and advocacy stand side by side. Welcoming people of all cultures into a safe space where wellbeing is understand as connection, growth and belonging.
