Session Cost: Koha (Pay what you are able) ~ the proceeds go towards supporting Ako Torowhānui trainees in their community endeavours, or local community groups.
People ask for guidance, genuinely – this is an exchange from your heart, yet on average people contribute $50 – $100 as their donation.
The proceeds from our Aroha Healing days…
All proceeds from Aroha Healing days are re-distributed into making our training & support for our practitioners better, more grounded.
Occasionally, these are donated Community organisations we have affiliations with and who are already supporting causes in alignment with the ethos of Ako Torowhānui: Māori Healing Training.
If you have a Māori or Aboriginal community group that needs support: please email gabrielle@wanderkind.com.au to enquire if we are a match.
About Aroha Days
Aroha healing days are open for anyone who feels called to experience Māori Healing (and other modalities when they are available).
Ako Torowhānui: Māori Healing Trainees, Practitioners, graduates and others come together to share their gifts and modalities with anyone who feels called to experience this work with healing shared in an open space.
Please note: Although this is an offering to our community, it is also a teaching and learning space those still going through their Māori Healing Training.
Please be patient for the courage each person is taking in offering their time and any nerves they may feel.
Other healing modalities that often feature include RomiRomi, MiriMiri, Reiki, readings, and access sessions.
Pre-bookings required for most sessions, book below or connect with individual practitioners. ♥
*Unfortunately Māori Healing at the Koha Healing days is not suitable for people who are pregnant. While a number of our practitioners share haputanga ~ pregnancy healing, the fluidity of these days mean we are not able to ensure you will be with one of these practitioners.
Some organisations we have supported…
