Acknowledgement
to Country
Ahikāroa acknowledges the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters on which we live, work, and gather. We honour more than 65,000 years of continuous connection, care, knowledge, and custodianship of Country.
We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded and pay our deepest respects to Elders past, present, and emerging.
We also acknowledge the Wurundjeri, Gunaikurnai, Taungurung, Wadawurrung, and Dja Dja Wurrung Peoples as the Traditional Custodians and rightful caretakers of the lands across which we work, learn, and connect with community.
We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities.
As a Māori-led organisation, we are committed to walking alongside First Nations peoples with respect, reciprocity, and humility. We commit ourselves as allies in supporting truth-telling, healing, wellbeing, cultural strength, and self-determination.
May we continue to learn from one another and honour the enduring wisdom, resilience, and leadership of First Nations peoples.
Ngā Pou e Whā o te Kā
The Four Pillars of Ahikāroa
Whakapapa is the foundation of all our work. It anchors us to our tūpuna, our values, and our responsibilities.
Community is essential to wellbeing. This pou focuses on collective healing, learning, and connection through wānanga, group programs, and partnerships.
Through traditional Māori healing practices, we support the release and realignment of the tinana (body), Hinengaro (mind) and Wairua (Spirit) restoring balance.
Rangatiratanga supports individuals working in leadership, caregiving, or facilitative roles, leading change, or navigating complex roles within their whānau and communities.
Ngā Kupu Tautoko | Testimonials
I had the most transformative and restorative MiriMiri RomiRomi (option 2) healing with Tash and Layah. I felt lighter and more at peace immediately afterwards and had the best sleep I’ve had in a very long time. I myself practice Reiki and I use this and other healing modalities to lift emotional stagnation from my body, but this is not a modality, it is a way of life for them; so I fully leant into the gifts these beautiful ladies have and am so happy that I showed up for myself in this way. The massage itself can be tough going in places, but the release was intense and where the magic truly happens. Years upon years of grief, sadness and anger, left me on the table, finally feeling free. The difference in my mind and body on a deeper level is amazing. I look forward to all the beautiful things that await me from the messages they received in session. Much aroha and appreciation for these divine love & light filled Wahine, their culture and for sharing the innate healing abilities of their ancestral lineage with myself and my family. It’s an incredibly sacred and special experience and I recommend it to absolutely everyone. Please do it for yourself.
