Holistic Wellbeing That Connects You to Your Strength

Grounded in Rongoā Māori, modern evidence-based practice, and authentic human connection – supporting recovery, resilience, and long-term wellbeing. We represent a new path in health.

We Hold Space, So You Can Reconnect With Your Healing Journey

Te Ara Hou Wellbeing began as a personal calling – born from lived experience, healing, and a desire to offer something more meaningful than traditional clinical support alone.

What started as one practitioner offering mirimiri, Rongoā, and holistic coaching in Whakatāne has grown into a multi-layered wellbeing practice. Today, we work across body, mind, and wairua, blending ancestral knowledge with modern practice to support people through injury, trauma, stress, and life transitions.

What We Do - Our Services

We don’t offer quick fixes. We walk alongside you, helping you reconnect with your body, identity,
and mauri, so healing becomes something you can actually live with.

 

Kind words from our clients

Our Approach

We offer an integrative approach to health that blends contemporary therapies with traditional Rongoā Māori wisdom. Our personalised care supports lasting wellbeing — strengthening physical vitality, emotional resilience, mental clarity, and inner balance. Rather than a single treatment, clients experience a deeper reconnection to themselves, their identity, and their mauri. Our work is grounded, practical, and focused on meaningful, sustainable change.

We work collaboratively, bringing together a carefully selected team of specialists to provide seamless, holistic support. From coaching and bodywork to physical training and therapeutic care, each element is intentionally integrated and tailored to the individual’s goals and lifestyle.
