    At Native Wisdom, we weave the sacred wisdom of our ancestors into modern healing journeys, guided by the enduring energies of Te Hihiri (radiant life force) and Te Whe (the elemental breath of creation). Through the sacred pathways of the Poutama process—a stairway to spiritual elevation—we walk alongside you to restore balance, harmony, and connection to your deepest essence.

    Our Mission
    Rooted in the timeless teachings of Te Ao Māori (the Māori worldview), we honor a kaupapa (purpose) steeped in reverence for tapu (sacredness) and noa (the healing power of simplicity). Our practices are crafted to awaken your mauri (vital spark), bridging ancient Rongoā (traditional healing) with transformative Holistic Life Coaching. Here, you are invited to reclaim your inner strength, align with your life’s purpose, and navigate challenges with the resilience of your ancestors.

    Our Approach
    Every touch, word, and remedy at Native Wisdom is infused with the sacredness of tikanga (protocols) and kawa (rituals), honoring the delicate dance between tapu and noa. From  Rongoā remedies to our heart-centered coaching, we nurture the body and mind and the spirit of the land and people. This is healing as it was meant to be—a return to wholeness, where compassion and connection reign.

    Why Walk With Us?

    • Culturally Anchored Healing: Reconnect to traditions that honor earth, spirit, and community.

    • Holistic Restoration: Blend the wisdom of Rongoā with personalized strategies for growth.

    • Sacred Space: Step into a sanctuary where love, respect, and ancestral guidance light your path.

    We are more than a healing center—we are a movement. A call to remember, to heal, and to rise. Together, we cultivate resilience, nurture whanaungatanga (kinship), and sow seeds for a future where every soul thrives in harmony.

    Haere mai—enter this sacred space, and let your journey of renewal begin.*


    Inspired by the past, grounded in the present, healing for generations to come.

    Services Provided

    ACC Rongoā Māori

    ACC Rongoā Māori

    ACC recognise rongoā Māori as a kaupapa Māori service. It's culturally grounded care that weaves tikanga Māori, mātauranga Māori, te reo Māori, and te ao Māori through all aspects of the service. We respect that these aspects embrace ngā taonga tuku iho (intergenerational gifts and knowledge handed down from tupuna Māori). We see rongoā Māori in the wider context of traditional Māori healing methodologies.

    ACC don't consider healing techniques from non-Māori cultural traditions, such as reiki or hyperbaric oxygen treatment, part of rongoā Māori. Even if they're provided by rongoā Māori practitioners.
