Important Information

You can share any training with me as a part of personal development or as the preliminary steps towards becoming a practitioner.

To complete the full practitioners training you will need to log a minimum of 400 hours (your initial training is included in these hours)
Your additional hours will consist of the face-to-face training, case studies at home, opportunity to engage with Māori philosophy and worldview through Wānanga, and practice on the public through open clinic (Koha Healing days).

About Mirimiri

MiriMiri is a soft hands energy form that comes deeply from the heart and can be practiced alone, or to support the practice of RomiRomi.

The technique involves dropping people into the vibration of the ocean with soft to deep tissue work that prepares clients for the depth of RomiRomi work.

About Romiromi

RomiRomi is a Māori Bodywork form that works directly with physical, emotional and spiritual vital points. This can be an intense practice that uses body weight to release and move your energetic bodies in full support of your full body temple.

The word broken up indicates Ro ~ internal and Mi ~ to stimulate.

Kind Words from Ako Torowhānui Participants

A big thank you for all that you created for us in wānanga.

Some reflection & gratitude.
The way you created and weaved with us was truly a remembering & so integrative. I felt so held, not only as a student but as a WOMAN who was reminded how much value we all brought into this space.
You teach so beautifully & because of that, although my head space wasn’t the most clear, I feel that energetically through my body, a lot of wisdom had been received and stored and for what you so lovingly provided

Kyla Hatsell-Pasene

The space that was created at made me feel safe and open. I knew I could be however I needed to be. And when you can allow yourself to surrender in to that, you can start to heal decades of upsets and trauma.
Learning to trust my intuition and owning my truth is nourishing for the soul and the positive changes manifest into reality.

Ako Torowhānui has really helped me to evolve in every area in my life.
To understand myself more. To connect more to my culture, it feels like a huge missing link in my life.
The gift of RomiRomi is definitely a part of me and learning this practice has brought me deeper into my knowing and purpose and how I can better show up for myself, the world and the people who desire and need this.

The training experience has been a pivotal part of my spiritual journey. Feeling safe and how to protect my energy and wanting to practice healing in this modality.
The experience gave me confidence on all levels of what I can do for others, it is undeniable when you feel it with all your sense.

Oh my heart!! Romi-Romi and Miri-Miri pressure point healing haha! It’s not for the faint hearted I can tell you that!
But oh so so honoured to be embraced and taught by Gabrielle Walker and all the other amazing people in this intake. Such a soulful group. Thank you for all the knowledge sharing and stories of your beautiful culture and translating all these new words for me.

I am totally blown away by the transformation that has occurred for myself. I’ve also come a long way with my treatments, I see healing so much more than being on the table. The art of expressing and communicating how and what we are feeling within and doing it in a safe space where you don’t feel judged. That in it self is a real cleanse.Looking forward to this new chapter, Much love.
