Rongoā with Debra Sturm 🌿
Debra Sturm is a healer based on Rakiura. Through the ancient Māori practice of Rongoā, she works to restore your mauri — your life force energy — releasing and reconnecting you physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Her practice weaves together rongoā, mirimiri, karakia, wairua, wai rākau — plant medicine — and hine moana — the sea. Healing that is rooted in this land. In this culture. In something far older and wiser than any of us.
“I help to restore people’s mauri — their life force energy — releasing and connecting physically, mentally, spiritually. Through rongoā, mirimiri, karakia, wairua, wai rakau — plant medicine — and hine moana — the sea.”
