Miri Miri or Makoha meaning natural gift is the traditional Maori massage. It is steeped in Maori customs and culture, encompassing whanau ora (family health), tinana ora (physical health), hinengaro ora (mental health) and wairua ora (spiritual health). Miri miri is very much a holistic tradition, used for healing the physical and spiritual elements of a person’s life.
 
A massage is preceded by a karakia (traditional prayer) and waiata (song) that will soothe and welcome your spirit. The actual massage is characterised by a technique that uses therapeutic rhythmic strokes inspired by the tempo of the ocean. Makoha Miri Miri takes much of its inspiration from the natural elements.

A Mākoha practitioner is respectful of Tikanga Maori Kaupapa and demonstrates a genuine appreciation for the natural environment.
