Hauora
Health
Welcome to Matawhaanui’s Health Sector, where we embrace the holistic approach to health and well-being through the integration of Rongoā and our Medical Clinic concepts. In this space, we prioritize Hauora, the Māori concept of total well-being, and strive to provide comprehensive healthcare services to our community.
Hauora encompasses the connection of physical, mental, spiritual, and social well-being. It recognizes that to achieve optimal health, we must address all aspects of our being. This embodies our beliefs by offering two distinct but complementary services: Rongoā and our Tuuhono Whare.
Rongoā, the traditional Māori healing practice, has been passed down through generations. It draws upon the ancient wisdom of Māori ancestors and their deep connection with nature. Rongoā experts utilize native plants and natural remedies to restore balance and harmony within the body. They approach health as a holistic experience, considering not only physical symptoms but also emotional and spiritual well-being.
Our Rongoā Hauora provides a unique healing experience rooted in Māori cultural practices. Highly skilled experts will guide you through personalized treatments, incorporating traditional healing techniques, such as massage, herbal remedies, and energy balancing. With a deep respect for the power of nature, Rongoā embraces the therapeutic properties of indigenous flora, harnessing their natural healing properties.
Complementing our Rongoā services is our Tuuhono Whare Clinic, staffed by a dedicated team of healthcare professionals. Here, we blend conventional medicine with a culturally sensitive approach that respects and integrates Māori values and perspectives. Our Nurse Led professional are trained to understand the unique health needs of our community, working collaboratively with patients to develop personalized treatment plans.
In our Tuuhono Whare, you will find a range of services, including preventive care, diagnostics, general medicine, and specialist referrals. We strive to create a welcoming environment that promotes open communication, respect, and cultural safety. By embracing Te Ao Māori principles, we ensure that our patients feel valued and empowered in their healthcare journey.
At Tuuhono Whare we are committed to fostering a sense of whānau (family) within our community. We believe that by embracing the principles of Hauora and integrating Rongoā and Tuuhono Whare concepts, we can achieve optimal well-being for all. Whether you seek traditional healing or modern medical care, Matawhaanui provides a harmonious blend of both, guided by Māori values and led by a dedicated team passionate about improving the health of our people.
