Rongoa & Mirimiri Therapy

Ko Ramaroa te Maunga

Ko Ngatokimatawhaorua te waka
Ko Ngapuhi te Iwi
Ko Ngati Korokoro te Hapu

Hone comes from the far North, a little place called Opononi in the Hokianga Harbour.

Hone and his family settled in Tauranga in 2003 and have fallen in love with this beautiful place and the people from Tauranga Moana.

Hone’s style of Mirimiri is holistic, and he uses a variety of different techniques that cater for everyone’s individual needs.

Ever since Hone was a young boy he has been passionate about Massage and recalls walking on his mother’s back to relieve her aches and pains.  As the years went by Hone has massaged friends and family picking up tips from body workers and healers along the way.

Hone’s official training was through “Aqua Vida” in Relaxation Massage, Anatomy and Physiology.  Since then he has worked from Pacifica Massage, Papamoa Ocean Blue Gym, Health 4 You, and alongside Osteopaths, Chiropractors and Physiotherapists.

Hone enjoys working with Pirirakau Hauora and assisting the whānau of Pirirakau, and with the right food and exercise, massage therapy is an integral part of reducing stress, managing pain and preventing injury.

Cherelle Brodie

Te Oturu Receptionist

My name is Cherelle and I am returning to Pirirakau Hauora after 5 years as the Service Coordinator for Te Oturu and also as a relief Kaimirimiri. My previous role was a Mirimiri Therapist so I'm very happy to be working back in familiar surroundings plus new and old faces.
Throughout my adulthood my love and passion for healing started to emerge, studying different healing tools to assist in a holistic approach to homeostasis. In the past 4 years I have had the
opportunity to study Kōkōrangi which has opened up another healing avenue. I continue to use rongoa, mirimiri and a good old korero as healing practices.
I'm excited to be back and look forward to supporting our services here at Te Oturu Oranga.
