Reviews of Manawa Ora Mirimiri and Workshops

D.

We have be wanting to see Jolie for a long time after a friend recommended her as a healer. Well, what an amazing experience! I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was just what I needed. Jolie is a strong woman with a deep caring nature. I felt immediately at ease and in the presence of someone highly intuitive and experienced in this Maori healing art. I felt elated and so pleased I had come to visit her after the session of body work was over. I will be booking a future session to release the remaining energetic blockages and tension when the “timing” is right. So wonderful to see these ancient healing arts coming back to have their rightful place in New Zealand… He whakaute nui!

Y.

I experienced a wonderful healing with Jolie that I'd highly recommend. Jolie immediately made me comfortable and confident in her analysis of me - to connect and understand the underlying issues impacting me. She identified I had blocked energy was in my body that needed to be released. I went from super tense to super relaxed by the end of session. Jolie provided me with some bang on nutritional advice and guidance to assist strengthening my body. I felt really privileged to have come across her and look forward to continuing a healthy journey forward.

C.

I'd only ever heard whispers of Mirimiri during casual conversation. Day 1, I immediately felt safe & comfortable wiithin a large group of strangers come family. The experiential learning components were fun and effective for my learning style. I experienced something quite extraordinary that weekend and am looking forward to attending another workshop Mar-Apr. ❤️

F.

Where to begin….. I have never met anyone like Jolie or experienced anything like what she offers. After 2 years of various therapies for PTSD after a major trauma injury, I came across her site and asked if she might be able to help. What happened to me in her session room was nothing short of miraculous. After one deeply emotional and painful session, just 1, my night terrors were gone, the fearful sweats were gone! I slept soundly for the first time in 2 years. That alone should be all the recommendation anyone needs. She is a woman with a gift. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND

E.

My Mirimiri session with Jolie, was incredible and moving. I felt physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually positively shifted after my time with her. I am deeply grateful she uses her gifts to help heal so many. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jolie and Manawa Ora and would like to thank her again for helping me. Meitaki ma'ata vaine toa ❤

D.

I didn't know anything about Mirimiri before I went to the workshop for a 20 minute session. WOW. In 20 mins I felt so connected to the practitioner who briefly explained mirimiri and asked where I felt I needed most attention. Again WOW it was full on but I trusted her and went with the flow. After the treatment I felt very freed up in my back and chest. It was an amazing personal and caring experience and has made me want to follow up with more treatment. So glad I discovered this bodywork therapy. Thank you so so much.

T.

Jolie is an expert in her profession and some of the safest hands you can be in. I felt like a new woman once I got off her table. She was very thorough and was able to pin point every part on my body that needed addressing without me even telling her. Furthermore, Jolie worked not only on my physical body, but in the realm of wairua to bring holistic healing to my whole being. I highly recommend this service ❤️

A.

Couldn't recommend Jolie enough. She is very intuitive and her energy nurturing. She knew exactly where to work on my body, releasing major energetic/spiritual blockages. I now feel less emotional weight in the body overall and the body now healing itself from physical issues I've had for years.

M.

This was an amazing experience. Loved the waiata, (Bruce was a great choice) & karakia. The actual Mirimiri experience was fantastic. I would like to revisit and have a longer session. Everyone, particularly my practitioner was lovely. Thanks for the opportunity to take part.

E.

My healing experience with Jolie was absolutely life changing, I really had no expectations going into it. I'm writing this review about 6 months from having the healing. I had some trauma I had been holding on to for a long time and although I noticed a difference after the session it's something that I've noticed more and more as times gone on. I have been able to reflect back on my life and childhood and realised things that I have never before that and connect dots that I wouldn't of if I hadn't had this healing experience. It has allowed me to look at the person I was and be very honest with myself and has been one of the fudemental moments of my journey into this new for filling life I am now leading. It has help change the direction of my life 180 degree's for the better, so much so I am booked into do the Mirimiri workshop with Jolie. This kinda of healing is on a whole other leave to what a doctor can prescribe or any therapy session can provide. I thank you Jolie and can't wait for the workshop!

K.

Kia ora koutou. After what was an incredibly stressful 2021 year, my highlight was attending the Jan 15 & 16, 2022 workshop in Wgtn. Every topic, discussion, exercise – was ‘on point’ for me and loved getting to know my soul group. Jolie Davis and her roopu were authentic and chosen for this work – and I felt safe, and privileged to be there, to feel the wairua, to learn this knowledge. It is foundational, and perfect for someone who is new to mirimiri romiromi. I just wanted to add – that I honestly felt I had attended our version of Hogwarts, and my chosen rakau was my wand. Now I just have to hone myself and practice this incredible work. My wife Karen and I are dedicated, and would like to be a part of the amazing Manawa Ora roopu when the time presents itself.

C.

An incredible healing experience. We worked on putting my pelvis back in alignment and I feel so much better in my body, plus I've not experienced any stomach/digestive/acid reflux issues since, which is new to me. Jolie's advice throughout our session was spot on. I know exactly what I need to do to move forward now. I would 100% recommend!

N.

It was a great healing experience. I feel we sometimes need a more holistic approach to help with our ailments in addition to what conventional treatments has to offer. I didn’t realise how much tightness and pain I had in my body until I went for the mirimiri treatment with Jolie. Jolie is so dedicated and empathetic to your needs.

J.

Jolie is superb - strong, knowledgeable and friendly. Am fully intending to organise a few one hour sessions. Highly recommended.

E.

Jolie knew me without even having to say a thing, everything she said about me was absolutely true, she was intune with my body and knew exactly what i needed, you just have to go to her because i am not the same person i was when i walked through her doors. Shes my answered prayer.

E.

Jolie is absolutely amazing! The healing I experienced made me feel so light mentally, physically and spiritually. I loved it so much. Highly recommend!!

T.

The best bodywork I've received. Felt completely taken care of with continuous karakia as Jolie worked her magic. I am unstoppable now! Thank you so much. 🌿💕

N.

Everything makes sense now. I am stronger in my spiritual core and no longer being led by unfavorable thought patterns. Highly recommended and never doubt the power of spiritual healing!

C.

Honestly wish these guys were in town. Loved the singing during. Didn't really know what I wanted or to expect when I went but now I've got a list of ailments I would love for these guys to really dig deep on. Would 100% recommend!

J.

Jolie is skilled, incredibly knowledgeable, generous and has much aroha to give those who really need healing. But the most amazing element of Jolie’s practice is that it is holistic; it isn’t limited to just the physical paradigm, it also includes the mental, spiritual and significant component of whānau. Ka nui te mihi ki a koe e te māreikura. I’ve already told all my workmates 🙌🏾👍🏾✊🏾🤙🏾🤲🏾🙏🏾

C.

I feel so privileged to have had the opportunity to be a part of something so awesome and was treated so respectfully. I felt taken care of and nutured.Thank you to the amazing lady who worked wonders on me, I'll never forget your care and attention. Thank you so much. 💓

J.

I attended the Mirimiri workshop this weekend. I thought I was going along to learn some new skills, but it was MUCH more than that. I learned so much about the beautiful Maori culture, and did a lot of personal healing. Techniques I learned and experienced resulted in personal healing on an emotional and spiritual level, much more so than physical healing. Jolie was so good at teaching, and so passionate about what she does. There was a lot of new information to learn, but Jolie also trusted that we all had it in us to perform these techniques intuitively as well. I left the workshop feeling ready to practice my new skills on friends and family. And to top it all off, I met some AMAZING, beautiful people, every one so inspiring. Thank you for your amazing work Jolie

C.

I recently had a mirimiri session with Jolie. My session was both beautiful and confronting, Not only was there physical body work done but also mental, emotional and spiritual experiences unraveled. These sessions are incredible and I could not recommend them enough. Ngā mihi nui Jolie

M.

Kia ora! I attended my second visit to Manawa Ora Mirimiri and just let Jolie do her magic. The acute pain I had initially suffered before seeing her has diminished and after three months on anti-inflammatories, I no longer need the pain medication. There is still the odd ache and twinge, but it is so much better and more manageable than before. Ngā mihi Jolie

H.

Jolie was welcoming and gracious. She has a keen intuition and a strength that gets the job done. I’m grateful for having the opportunity to have a session with her. Highly recommended!

D.

An incredible experience! I will be doing another workshop soon. Jolie is an amazing healer who connects easily with all people at all levels. She stands squarely in her mana, what she believes in, and the knowledge she has been gifted. Her desire to share this is testament alone in my opinion. She has a wonderful team of support around her who clearly believe in what she is doing and support her 150%. They provide a wonderful, safe feeling environment to learn in and an incredibly calming space to heal in if desired. Can not recommend this workshop enough. If you have a teeny interest, step forward and say yes. You won't regret it.

J.

Attending Jolie's Mirimiri Workshop was a profound experience that I will always look back on with much fondness, admiration and respect. I learnt so much about how I can heal my body with ancient wisdom and tools that have been passed down by our tupuna and I feel blessed and inspired by Jolie's teachings as I continue to learn, heal and grow. Jolie's Manawa Ora team were also very supportive in terms of imparting their knowledge and experience on to all of us as well. I highly recommend Jolie's workshop and I know that I would certainly like to attend more workshops in the future.

A.

Working with Jolie was such an incredible experience. I have been suffering from chronic pain for over 20 years and have tried many forms of treatment- medication and many different forms of body work. And yet, Jolie was the person I needed to meet all along! She was able to connect the dots and help me understand more about my own body while affirming what I already knew - my body was holding on to trauma and pain from the past which needed to be agitated and stimulated so that it could finally be released. I have spent the last seven years looking for exactly this. The holistic approach which cared for and attended to me mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually was absolutely invaluable. I didn’t realise how much my mobility had been restricted for most of my life and after one session with Jolie, I am no longer in constant pain and have been able to move more freely than I have ever moved. Only now, can I recognise just how much my body was holding on to and the impact it had on my well-being. I cannot recommend seeing her enough! You have made such a powerful impact on my life and well-being. Thank you Jolie!

K.

Had an incredible experience here. I felt so at peace and loose after the mirimiri. Will definitely be booking again, highly recommend!!

Kia ora koutou, I took part in 2 workshops run by Jolie in Aug and Nov of 2017. At that time I was diagnosed with stage 4 Ovarian cancer. The first workshop I encouraged my daughter and sister to attend as well because I had heard Mirimiri would help me with the cancer I had. After the first day of the 1st workshop I went away being able to taste my food. I was so happy. By the 2nd day I had more energy and my other senses were working really well. Prior to it, with the chemo I was going through all my senses weren't really working. The 2nd workshop I had another daughter, son and husband attend. In this workshop, my husband had a healing session and Jolie and Wairua managed to do in 30 mins what the western health system hadn't done in 3 years. Fast forward to 2018. I have returned to work. I returned to fulltime teaching in July of last year. In my class my students used Rakau for self care. Now in 2019, I have a new position at Camberley School as Pastoral care and using Wairuatanga to help our tamariki. Addressing historical injuries and looking at our students as a whole. We have established a Cultural room (Te Rongo Mauri) where Mirimiri is available for our whanau and our kids can rest. I am very gratedul to of attended these workshops. They have helped my tinana and Hinengaro and whanau. Nga mihi ki a koe, Jolie

M.

I’ve currently had two sessions with Jolie unlocking years of pain caused by old sporting injuries. In two sessions I’ve noticed a big difference in my muscle memory, the way I feel, how I hold myself, even learning new breathing technique. Be prepared though, as your initial reaction will be pain to unlock any tension, you’ll feel muscle release, then muscle recovery ahhhh. I can’t speak more highly of Jolie’s techniques and professionalism contributing to a better healthier wellbeing. Honestly, it’s money well spent for the limited number of sessions required.

J.

An incredible experience today! I am overwhelmed by the work that Jolie had done. It was everything my heart, body & spirit needed. I felt like I had met her before (but it was my first time), I was so comfortable & am feeling some amazing results already. I walked away with some valuable tools to help me untangle & detach from some embedded habits. I will definitely be back for more treatments. I highly recommend Jolie's work, a beautiful soul, knowledgeable with so much heart. Grateful 🙏

g.

Jolie is amazing. Listens to you and your body. I've had fantastic results with my feet and neck. Always leave. Session moving more freely. Jolie works her magic and I feel energized. She's the best

Kia tae ra anō ki te wā e marama ai te wairua o te tangata, tana hinengaro, Kātahi anō ka kīia kua mohio ia- When the person understands both in the mind and in the spirit, then it is said that the person truly ‘knows’ - This quote sums up Jolie’s ‘knowing’ and understanding of Te Ao Māori alongside in-depth medical knowledge, which she wove effortlessly during my first mirimiri session. She is amazingly intuitive and could ‘see’ my pain before I told her why I was there! Jolie is caring, honest and confident, - I felt instantly relaxed. As a Māori woman looking for a safe healing space to be ‘unapologetically Māori’ - Jolie creates this safety through humour and tīkanga Māori ways of being. She is a gift! I arrived in pain and left without pain, aligned and a whole lot happier in myself! Ngā mihi

H.

I hadn't seen the Google reviews before going, but 243 reviews and a 5* rating really doesn't surprise me! My wife and I visited recently, and can both safely say it was a mindblowing experience. That's not to say the process was 'fun' or relaxing - quite the opposite, it was very painful; but it was very necessary, and Jolie was extremely clear about what she was doing at every point and I couldn't have felt in safer hands. Before coming, I had had some problems with my shoulder but Jolie quickly found that some other issues I had been having were stemming from an impact injury to a specific part of my lower back. This reminded me that when i had injured my shoulder 7 years ago, that part of my back had also hit the ground very hard. I hadn't noticed it since as the shoulder was always front of mind, but clearly this muscular response, and the impacts on spinal alignment and diaphragm have been causing problems in the interim. So even if you're just feeling small niggles, it's definitely worth popping in. It's also fascinating that the treatment mindset is quite different in many ways to physio, and having tried both I would recommend any curious physiotherapists to go too to learn a bit about the theory and practice of Mirimiri. Thanks so much for the whole experience, and I know you like not to have to see your patients again :), but at the very least you'll be seeing our friends!

K.

I have had terrible pain in my neck and hips/low back for years and tried everything! After seeing Jolie once I can honestly say I am actually having pain free days. I will be booking another appointment and can’t wait to see what results She has next time. She is just amazing and I totally recommend seeing her if you suffer from chronic pain. Thank you so much Jolie! :))

E.

Had a wonderful and healing experience one on one with Jolie, highly reccomend. I also attended a workshop which is safe to say was life changing. Will be attending again in the future. Don't miss this opportunity.

A.

I went and saw Jolie as I'd been having a migraine once a week for about 4 months and it was becoming unbearable trying to deal with them. Jolie identified a injury that I had 15 years ago as the cause rather than what I thought was bad posture while I was working, and while I can't say that the mirimiri was a relaxing experience (haha!), I haven't experienced a migraine since and it's been almost two months. Incredibly grateful and highly recommend.

K.

I went to this workshop not really knowing much, but went on my sister's advice. I found it to be an amazing experience. Jolie is a font of knowledge of both the spiritual & physical aspects of this traditional Maori practice. We gained foundational knowledge & basic skills in a nurturing environment with Jolie, other mirimiri practitioners & a group of like minded individuals. I had the privilege of a session with Jolie to help educate everyone & whilst it can be very uncomfortable (it hurts!), I felt it was a really healing experience. So much so I'm continuing on this journey to not only learn through the community group, but also to get healing myself. We have a lot to learn from indigenous cultures & Jolie sure knows her stuff! I'd certainly recommend attending!

M.

Jolie is awesome! I had been told by two physio's that I wouldn't be able to get rid of the constant clicking in my neck when I walked or ran (or turned my head to the right) and that I would have to "live with it." Jolie not only got rid of it for me (which I am so grateful for) but she has also helped alleviate massive pains that I get in my neck. She is straight up, always listens and I always leave afterwards feeling a whole lot better (and less stiff in my neck/body). Will always recommend her to friends and whānau. She's fantastic!

A.

I have had the pleasure to experience mirimiri with Jolie. My body is more connected and healing faster. Very professional service. I recommend her to everyone I love and care for. Great work looking forward to my next visit. Value for your money.

m.

Just spent last 2 days with the amazing Jolie and team and wow, i walked in reserved, not sure why i was there except knowing i needed to be there, to walking away with a lot of mamae lifted, body feeling lighter and my heart open and full of light. Ive learnt so much and took so much away from this 2 days and cant wait to use it. Jolie you are truely my Maori queen. and thanks to Rob and his black magic ball what ever it was you did made me feel so light and free.

We were warmly invited onto Rehua Marae with divine karanga on a frosty winter morning for Manawa Ora's very first workshop on foundations of traditional Màori Healing and Bodywork; Mirimiri and Romiromi in te Waipounamu. My intention was to learn the cultural aspects of Màori Healing to enhance my work as a bodyworker in lomilomi but as we introduced ourselves I felt a deeper reason for being at the workshop. To connect to my whakapapa. I learnt so much about who I am, who we all are and how we are tapu, we are connected to source. Jollie's teaching is straight up with humor, grounded presence and whole lot of experience, knowledge and wisdom. Her supporting whanau helped create a safe space for us and also recorded the teachings for us to refer back to. It was a jam-packed weekend so I'm glad for the notes and access to recordings. The kai was absolutely delicious!!!! I loved the rakau and floorwork. I look forward to tuning into my energy work more and into my set of cards. I feel so grateful for the love and care I received on the weekend from my new extended whanau and for all the teachings which I will be integrating more and more as time goes by. The one thing that has stood out for me is, 'HEAL THE MAMA, HEAL THE WHANAU.' Thankyou to everyone who made this workshop possible and to Jollie for your grounded presence.

R.

I was lucky to get in to see Jolie today and I’m so grateful I did. She is incredibly intuitive and could sense what parts physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually needed healing without me having to say much at all. She made me feel really comfortable and also gave me some really helpful approaches to help myself going forward. I will look forward to coming back to see you in the future if I need to! Thank you again for today

T.

Jolie knew exactly what I needed and my session with her was perfect. It really opened my eyes and set me on an amazingly positive path. She has a great energy - is grounded and connected - and is confident and strong in how she does her Mirimiri. I would recommend her healing sessions to anyone. Thank you so much!

O.

Jolie and her crew are some of the most amazing humans I've had the privilege of sharing space with. My journey into this healing space has been the most powerful/magical experiences in my life, not all rainbows and unicorns but the growth and healing exceeds any pain. I can't recommend seeking Mirimiri enough to everyone I know or meet who is in pain and wants to heal, who hasn't found resolution in the current healing spaces they have traditionally used. Having an opportunity to learn Mirimiri/Romiromi and more about Te Ao Māori is such a privilege for me/for us! We are so blessed to have access this ancient practice/knowledge/healing. The Manawa is so huge in this space, if you feel called, don't hesitate, one foot in front of the other, you will love love love it! So much gratitude and excitement for the future ahead! Thank you Jolie!

A.

Absolutely beautiful experience to be apart of Jolie and Robbie are such amazing people and teachers Im honoured to have been able to participate in the workshop. You get a whole lot more than what you expect! I highly recommend.

M.

What an amazing wknd with a large group hungered to learn from Jolie. Jolie was straight up, black n white and gave us the true meaning of this art, Mirimiri. The teachings were unbelievable, all of us were just blown away with the healing that went on that weekend. Two days of pure healing. I recommend this to everyone and anyone as you all become a large whanau very quickly. If you are willing to drop your guards down and open up, the healing potential is unlimited.

M.

I am beyond blessed gaining ancient knowledge and wisdom from Jolie. Last year I attended a workshop in Rotorua. This year I felt called to attend another workshop in Christchurch to relearn the foundations of Mirimiri and Romiromi. Second time round, everything I have learnt makes so much sense. I feel more aligned with purpose. Days before the workshop, I felt ungrounded and disconnected to myself. Through floorwalk, I was able to release mamae (pain) from my pelvis down. My pelvis and hip was misaligned...in result I struggled to connect firmly with papatuānuku (Mother Earth) and connect with my body. I realized that I was working in a career that wasn't serving me and putting my own needs in the backseat. I felt obligated to help my partner and his family business, but I was not following my purpose. Knowing this, I allowed my body to release the mamae in my pelvis and legs. Breathing and exhaling through the pain, I felt the energy flow fluidly from the crown all the way to my feet. I haven't felt this way in a looong time. I feel grounded and feel more in my body than I have felt in my whole life. I am a healer and a purpose of mine is to help/enable people with their healing. We truly are our own healers! I 1000% recommend this workshop to anyone that is feeling disconnected, lacking purpose and wants to help people heal. You gain so much knowledge and tools from this workshop, so much more for what you pay for. Thank you so much Jolie and your whānau, for holding space, to sharing ancient knowledge and aro-ha with the roopu. I feel blessed to have you as a guide within this realm and I know many others feel the same. Arohanui xxx

Y.

This was one of the most precious and transformative learning experiences, I’ve ever had. This weekend feels like something everyone should experience, at least once in their lifetime. Jolie’s sheer devotion and ability to share this sacred wisdom, energy and magic in such a profound way, is life changing. My time spent with Jolie and the wonderful Manawa Ora whanau has touched my heart and soul deeply and has left me so inspired and in awe. I‘m already looking forward to returnIng and continuing this learning journey. If there is just the slightest drop of curiosity or call within for you to explore this opportunity... I would urge you to act on it, without a shadow of doubt. . Forever grateful, Jem ♥️

J.

What a shifting, moving, empowering workshop on the foundations of Mirimiri and Romiromi this weekend. Jolie has such a presence of vulnerability, humour and strength. It made the workshops feel safe, fun and empowering. What a beautiful group of people to share that with! I just wanted to say again, thank you so much for all that you bring and carry with you. Words cant really follow up how I appreciate and honour this wisdom you share. I have a deeper physical realisation that began to surface during the Manawa Ora workshop that I wasn't 'prepared' for but is so good for the shedding of old and making way for new. It is the resistance to pain, but physical pain, I thought I had 'worked through' my resistance of emotional pain, that has been carried on both sides of my family;- hiding it, not showing emotion, especially the negative ones. I realised what I do, to stay safe, is to go back into mind. But what came up for me was a block of "i fear physical pain", and "don't share your pain, hide your pain" and that showing your pain is 'bad'. I didn't know those beliefs were sitting there still, and i have realised its old western 'views' that live in my body still but are leaving. So I am so grateful that you and the Manawa Ora Whanau open up this space. It's helped these beliefs to be agitated and decomposed. I had a deep release with floor work at the end I wasn't 'expecting' that allowed me to physically understand the tension and resistance I carried, and also my ability to release, through physical, bodywork. Its helped me appreciate the deeper inner/self healing I am embarking on through more 'hands on' body work. "Know yourself" is one of the foundational lessons, and to heal yourself before you heal others. This work is so important for our communities! I recommend and support this work 100%, it's from the ground up, cuts through to the core of healing and is rooted in love.

On a very rainy cold Saturday morning with no motivation I dragged myself along to mirimiri sessions being offered at Kokiri, never before have I had a healing session like I experienced. It was a total release of emotions that had embedded them selves strongly within me, my mind and body was totally unprepared for this experience yet I let go and just let it happen, I’m sure the person taking me on a journey was aware I felt her guide and encourage me with so much Aroha there was no blockages and it overall was a very surreal experience. I left a better person and felt so much more stronger in mind and body. A Koha and thank you will never be enough for the experience I had. Highly recommended

P.

Previously, I suffered from severe back and neck pain that debilitated me in many ways. Physically, emotionally and spiritually. My mirimiri session with Jolie was an extraordinary experience where I felt supported and as though my healing process was the central goal. I have come away with not only in a better physical state but a deeper understanding of the ways in which the body will store emotional pain. I feel that this is what true self care and healing looks like. Ngā mihi, Jolie!

N.

The overall relief and clarity I received after my first visit was world changing for me and evidently my whanau. My second visit was a huge release of things that had been holding me back and I received knowledge to help me become the best me I can be. Cannot wait for my next session and have been drawn to the attend the workshop in October to help me help my whanau further. This woman has a gift. I am honored to have met you and your lovely husband while on my journey. Thanking you will never be enough to express my gratitude. Arohanui T

J.

Hi Jolie, I am so grateful for my session on Thursday. Lots of space being made and truth being felt 😊 I took my son Reuben to see Rob today. Son loved the release and has been trance like state for most of the day. He says he feels so free 🤗 Onwards and upwards for both of us 😊 Thank you so much x

V.

I am not able to express with words how grateful I am to had the chance to be part of this experience. Manawa Ora's workshop gave me the chance to connect with people from different backgrounds and experiences in a safe and productive environment. I had been able to listen to my emotions and to accept them thank to the support of my whanau. It has been an honour to discover Maori culture and I thank Jolie to had shared this with us. It has been an experience that I will keep with me forever.

H.

Kia ora Jolie, What can I say about attending your recent workshop in Christchurch, I first heard about you and your mahi a few months back when I was home and my sister was heading down to attend your workshop. So as ya do, ya do ya own research. So when I happened to see a post on FB that you were heading to Christchurch, I pretty much prayed there would be some room for me to attend. You taught me so much over the 2 days, your mahi speaks for itself, i filled my kete of knowledge and wanted to get more, even told friends and family that they should at least attend one of your workshops. Learning different techniques and getting healing within for myself without realising was pure magic.. Honestly thank you thank you and your wonderful team. So much to say and so much gained 😊

I.

Best results ever Jolie knows her stuff . It's the best I have ever felt in a very long time. Very professional I highly recommend her to sort you out I'm definitely going back again . I have highly recommended her to many work colleagues and friends . You will not be disappointed. Thank you once again Jolie you are awesome as expect to see me back soon !!!!!

C.

I was recommended to Jolie from a friend, and it is one of the best recommendations I've been given to date! I want to say that the mirimiri I recieved was beautiful and gentle and easy but I'd be lying. It was painful, excruciatingly painful. It was intense, and I tried to breath throughout and manage the pain the best I could but sometimes I cried out without mentally registering that it was coming out of my mouth. I share this bc unfortunately this is what my body has been carrying for decades, without my knowledge. By the time Jolie was finished, I was able to take her touch without pain. I was able to stand straight (again, I didnt realise that I wasn't) and my posture was corrected. So yes, while I had to endure pain, it was worth the years of pain and trauma being released from my body.

g.

I attended one of the Manawa Ora Mirimiri Workshops in Kapiti. I can honestly say that it was life changing and well worth it! Jolie is a beautiful healer and amazing teacher! Thankyou so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I will remember this workshop for the rest of my life. X

A.

Jolie, you are amazing and one of a kind! When they made you they truely broke the mould ! I thought I had exhausted all my options in trying to live a pain free life. Osteapath, Chiro, physio, acupuncture.... you name it I tried it and yet it was only ever temporary relief, it didn't take long for the same pain to flare up again.. After my first session with Jolie she has changed my life. Before my first session of Mirirmiri I had resided myself to the fact I just had to live with the daily pain. I had a friend recommend me to Jolie and when I arrived I thought I was in for a "Maori Massage". I was wrong. It is so so much more. To try to explain what Jolie can do for you is ineffable. All I can say is make a booking NOW, try for yourself. Your Mind, Body & Spirit will be forever grateful you did.

A.

Jolie has helped me in so many ways, body, mind and spirit. Im truly gratful to have had the privilege to have this amazing wahine work her healing hands,tools & karakia upon my body. All my aches and all that didnt serve me physically,emotionally and mentally was let go and realigned💜 I would highly recommend you visit Jolie to all.

R.

Wow !!!! I am still trying to put into words what the weekend wananga taught me. I thought I was attending a training mirimiri /romiromi workshop . I thought I would learn a new healing technique that would help my whaiora. I thought it would be like other wananga I have attended turn up ,listen, write stuff down ,learn the techniques, get a certificate ✅ I thought wrong !!!!! I learnt all the above but I also learnt about me ,I learnt I am enough, I learnt heal the mama heal the whanau and my whanau /workplace are now reaping the benefits . My work colleagues/whanau keep staring at me in disbelief stating you are so different,calm,peaceful you don’t react to negative energy anymore. Thank you Jolie and manawa ora whanau I feel like I am finally free to be me 💚

J.

As I am sitting at work humming Te Timatanga ko te Ao..I am feeling grateful for the profound effect this weekend at Rehua Marae has had on me..from walking across the bridge as we were made so welcome with powhiri (I felt like I was coming home) ..to the privilege of witnessing the rebirthing of a beautiful soul from negative energy..to hands on learning and sharing Mirimiri and Romiromi (thank you my beautiful partners)..my cup feels full..Thank you Dalice Pinnell for putting me on this path..and Jolie Davis for sharing your beautiful gift with all of us! We were so privileged to be there..The depth of this healing is beautiful and humbling. .feels like my soul has been soothed..I hope many others seek this journey..Love and blessings to you all ❤🥰

S.

I enjoyed a focused and challenging weekend of learning about the Taonga of Mirimiri and Romiromi in Rotorua over the weekend. The organisation and teaching was focused, tailored to the diverse group and engaging from beginning to the end. Kei runga noa atu Jolie. I was informed, educated, challenged and supported in learning about how the ways of our tupuna are relevant and effective for health and well being today. The mix of theory and practice; being an observer and an akonga in action, healing and being healed was beyond expectation. Thank you Jolie and the support team for sharing your expertise, patience and wisdom, making the learning relevant and safe for all of us. Definitely love to have another wananga to build my understanding and practise and refine the skills that I have begun to learn about over the weekend. Koia kei a Manawa Ora whanau. Huhana

B.

Jolie Davis and the amazing team who work with her surely know how to create and cultivate space for wholistic and amazing healing. I have been in the health care profession for over 30 years, in various roles from residential crisis centers, to wellness programs, and serving as a professor who earned doctorate in counselling training programmes. Yet, my eyes, ears, and most of all heart and mind expended so much, within these two days- what an honour it was to experience first hand the time honored Maor healing modalities and in the process reconnect with our inner well being while experiencing the amazing healing power of connecting with Jolie, other Healers as well as fellow travelers as we take steps on this trip on Mother Earth. The profound depth of the Maori Healing goes way beyond what current master and PhD programmes offer. Jolies unwavering dedication, expertise, gift for accurate and efficient assessment, while being anchored to the healing power made such a difference in my life and in the lives of others who attended. I came in feeling drained, lonely, walked away with synergy, healthier "tune up" and most of all such gratitude for people who now are my new family, people who made time and took time to support each other... we became like such a beautiful symphony, thanks to Jolie being our amazing conductor who did not try to make us someone different, she gave us opportunity to come home, to come back to our essence. Aroha to you Jolie, the team, and members of our community who offered such a transformative experience. Gratitude will remain in my heart to each one of you and to us as a community. Bogusia

A.

I was a little bit apprehensive about doing this course, yet something in my soul told me I needed to be here and my reasons for coming seemed much bigger than I could comprehend at the start.. My ancestors stand behind me as I take this journey through Te Ao Maori and remembering who I am by acknowledging where I came from. So this wananga seemed like an important stepping stone in the right direction. I got some healing mahi done from the whanau on the course which was amazing, I learnt some beautiful techniques in Romiromi and Mirimiri, it was a safe and beautiful space to open up and grow. Also the Kai was amazing and all the likeminded people and kindred spirits I got to meet in this space. I have learnt so much amazing knowledge that resonated for me on deep levels, I couldn’t have learnt from anywhere else. I will definitely be back. Thank you! This opened up a new path for me in my want to make the world a better place and to bring peace to those around me. So I can’t wait to excel in this space now x Kia Ora Jolie and Rob! I’ll be back x

J.

I went on this workshop after having a couple of mirimiri sessions with Jolie, which had excellent results. Jolie is extremely passionate about what she does and about passing on her knowledge to others. The workshop was amazing. As well as being taught the foundations of mirimiri, we also gave and received healing. There was so much love and togetherness from everyone on the workshop, which was awesome. I would absolutely recommend one of Jolie’s workshops to anyone and everyone. Do it - you won’t regret it! Keep up the fantastic work Jolie ❤️

G.

I participated in a 2 day wananga thinking that I would learn more tools for selfcare and potentially include some of the learning into my mahi of connecting people with their environment. I got so much more than I envisaged, I really had my expectations exceeded. Nga mihi nui rawa atu to Jolie and the team, very transformational experience for me and even better, I now have a new network of very cool people that I can continue to connect with. If you are looking to start your own healing journey, whether it be for yourself or to support others - do this wananga! Jolie takes you right back to The Creation, to understand the beliefs and values that underpin Te Ao Maori. Cutting right through to the heart of things with her straight up approach, you can't help but respond to this kind of integrity by being real yourself...Mauri ora

L.

Jolie and her Manawa Ora workshops have been life changing for me. I attended a workshop feeling a little lost and overwhelmed by my life situation, now I can proudly say that in a short period of time I am a whole new me that has achieved so much. These workshops are not only for learning about and actioning physical healing, but also healing on deeper levels.... Jolie is extremely gifted and generous with her teachings and knowledge and how she shares this with each individual is like she personally knows you and what you need at the time.... I highly recommend everyone to attend because everyone comes away from there revived and ready to face their next challenge in their life journey... thank you Jolie, Rob and Manawa Ora team.

M.

Every year I come back to make sure my foundation gets stronger by expanding my knowledge with the teaching taught by Jolie & the experiences we have within the workshop. Every workshop is different depending on the people there. Much like constructing an incredible sandwich that starts with top quality bread & butter as the base. From there you can add what ever fancy stuff to it that makes it uniquely yours.

B.

I have just come back from this amazing workshop and have come away with much more than the knowledge I went in search for. Jolie is an amazing teacher, who seeks to heal, educate and effectively pass on her knowledge in Mirimiri, Romiromi and other modalities of Rongoa. I am so grateful for the connections made and all that was learnt. Highly recommend her services and the workshop! A must do!!

T.

This workshop has been the most positive experience of my life. Most definitely life changing, healing and extremely reconnecting to who I am as Maori and as a person in general. I will be encouraging all my whanau to do this workshop I can not recommend Jolie and her crew enough.

A.

I had been a bit of an online stalker of Jolie for a while, watching lots of people attend workshops, experience her skills and mātauranga as they reached for healing. What a relief it was to FINALLY walk through her doors. Trust well placed, I had a transformative experience as she helped me to responsibly unstrap and safely placed down years of trauma. Together we were able to shift some really deep take and my body felt such release, and reinvigoration. Plantar fasciitis, shoulder pain, both addressed and sent on their way. Come with your deep breaths ready, Jolie opened up such amazing energy tunnels inside me. It was so nice to have such a good blow out all the while knowing i was in such safe, sure hands. Ngā mihi!

M.

After graduating from Sports massage I wanted to experience other modalities & first on the list was Mirimiri! Over a year on & many other workshops later, Jolies Mirimiri workshops are by far the BEST!! Connecting back to our traditional healing practices has much more impact on shifting "stuff" & getting people back to wellness than any other modality that I've tried. That's why I've done a second workshop with Jolie, because I know it works. I've worked hard in my own practice implementing the knowledge past down my Jolie & I support her vision of educating everyone to heal themselves.

J.

I have been going to Jolie for mirimiri and her workshop peaked my interest. I'm not maori and was unsure of this was the right fit for me but went anyway. Once there, I felt very at ease, everyone was super kind, knowledgeable and approachable. I was profoundly touched by the depth of knowledge and richness of maori culture and healing traditions. Having tried, tested and benefited from mirimiri and romiromi, I can say that I would choose this method of treatment over the modern western medicine anytime as it goes to the source rather than just treating the symptoms. I highly recommend.

K.

Great first introduction to Mirimiri. The clinic was well organised and ran like clockwork.

j.

Jolie’s workshops isn’t a template on massage. It’s a deeper intuitive spiritual and healing workshop. I’ve come away wanting to learn more. The healing from the weekend has given the confirmation that I am heading in the direction of my purpose and not to be afraid. There’s still some healing to be done, but the weekend has just cracked the surface. Do yourself a favour and do this workshop!

J.

On a personal pilgrimage to New Zealand I attended a weekend workshop led by Jolie Davis - Manawa Ori Mirimiri & Workshops. My experience being limited to shamanic work, was thinking this training would be gen entry level intro with demonstrations around bodywork. Wrong! Day One and we were all undertaking this work. Jolie teaches with fierce kindness threaded with humour, we had so many belly laughs while learning deep. Time stretched to accommodate 1:1 attention and group learning. Also present is a supporting team of experienced practitioners. Those of you reading here from Western European background, this work will get you out of your heads and into the wisdom of your bodies. The healing in this work is potent and there is no hiding. For me personally the work was emotional at its core; to let go of the faltering action, step into power and undertake own work. Clearly the spirits in Europe have been talking with the spirits in New Zealand! Same message, different traditions. This healing work is for everyone. I noted attenders were from other disciplines (shiatsu, physio therapy). Me, I had no experience of body work; got stuck in and received the experience, healing and advice needed. Would also add this is a repeatable workshop, for all levels of experience, the sharing and garnering of knowledge is amazing. Warmest happy regards to Jolie and team.

F.

Just wanna say a big thanks to all of you here. I had no idea what happened to me but it was life-changing. I felt I could finally be me without crying over sth doesn't belong to me. This is the first time in my life I feel at home, thanks to every single one who holds a safe place to allow that happen. Thank you, Jolie Davi and your partner, I am so glad that I made the impulsive decision flew from Auckland to Chirstchurch, you are such a beautiful and strong soul that inspires me a lot. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

m.

Something greater than can be defined. To learn traditional ways had an importance in my heart because my father faced an illness as a child and was healed by mirimiri. I put everything aside and took flight from the Gold Coast home to Aotearoa to attend a workshop. I hoped that I would learn ways to help my family. Aue toku! I would learn ways to help me. I needed to cry, I needed to heal. The teaching from Jolie and her team: "Heal the mama, Heal the whanau!" My message here is: Go with all your heart, go find your "Manawa Ora"🙏

N.

It was such an amazing weekend of healing!! and connecting with my soul family. From the time you sign up to the course even the lead up to it is a journey. Everything Jolie teaches you already know it and it feels familiar. I'd reccomend this workshop to everyone and want to go everytime it's in Wellington because its opened something inside of me theres no turning back now.

T.

Amazing experience! Beautiful atmosphere, intuitive treatment! Thank you so much!

S.

I would highly recommend doing this workshop. It is so versatile and truly is for ANYONE no matter who or where your from, what you think you know, how experienced or inexperienced you are, don't hesitate JUST DO IT I thought I knew my reasons for doing the workshop I came away with so much more, more understanding of Maori culture, tradition, I learnt about myself and also from others that also attended. I left feeling part of a family and have made life long connections. Jolie and the team are passionate about what they do, it's raw, it's real and it's totally for you, so book your spot TODAY I'll see you there!!

C.

I've had lower back pain for almost 3 years. I've been to a physio and I've also had accupunture and although I felt better initially the pain always returned. I had succumbed to the pain and thought that it was all part of getting older. After visiting Jolie for 2 sessions my pain has been completely eliminated. I am absolutely and totally flabbergasted! Ive had better sleeps and no headaches since seeing Jolie. I'm pain free and I still can't believe how long I put up with pain when it has only taken 2 sessions to make everything better! I've already told everybody I know about her amazing work. Thank you so much Jolie - I think you've changed my outlook on life! 💖

R.

I attended a workshop last weekend and have been transformed. After 28 years living in Australia and returning to Aotearoa last year it was an amazing experience that i feel really returned me home. I have always felt connected and open to my tipuna, whanau, and whenua but this workshop really strengthened that connection for me. I experienced a cleansing from the work i did in Australia with the beautiful Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. I have been invigorated and inspired to go forward with my mahi here working with our mokopuna. Thank you to Jolie, an amazing healer and her Manawa Ora team who supported my journey. I have been liberated and feel so well. It is true, heal our wahine and you heal all the whanau. I am so grateful and look forward to attending another workshop. Thank you to the Manawa37 whanau that supported and shared thier journeys last weekend, friends for life. Arohanui Rangimarie

S.

Jolie was amazing. Very culturally aware and intune with my wairua and tinana. Also attended a two day workshop all due to my positive experience with my mirimiri. Highly recommend Jolie.

M.

Jolie is a master in the art of mirimiri. Jolie is an intuitive force, that worked my tinana to clear blockages and bring it back into flow. She provided guidance for life and the next part of my life journey (putting me first!) . I'm so pleased to have finally got myself onto Jolie's table. I will definitely be going back to keep my tinana tuned up and tuned in. Nga mihi

K.

This lady knows her stuff, this lady has a gift she is a Taonga and committed to helping people overcome incredible pain. I feel absolutely privileged to have witnessed and experienced healing in a recent 2 day workshop in Melbourne. If you have lived with years of physical pain, and sadness from a lifetime of suppressed hurts you owe it to yourself to go and see Jolie and her wonderful team of healers. You won’t regret it! Thank you Jolie for doing what you do.

D.

This workshop was powerful and engaging and a feeling of connectedness and oneness created amongst us all! Jolie is an amazing wahine who shares and delivers her knowledge in a clear and practical way, would highly recommend to all !

J.

Kia ora Jolie and thank you. My first experience with mirimiri. Still feeling the positive effects 2 days later, sleeping better than I have in a very long time. Body feeling like it has an opportunity to recover and heal. Fabulous experience, would definitely recommend. Janice

T.

I am in a learning phase so my reasons for attending were due to my lack of knowledge. At the end I knew I wouldn't be a practitioner but I could certainly see the incredible value this healing has not only in a physical sense but also that it opened my mind a hell of a lot more to the spiritual side of generational healing. In that capacity it more than met my expectations. Jolie and her team are professional and approachable. When I say team I mean team. Each person had their own perspective and style so they could capture & assist every personality there, yet they worked and moved together as one. I very much recommend this to anyone who wishes to learn to heal and to those who just wish to just add to their learning. Fantastic workshop.

s.

I am hapu with my 3rd tamaiti and I had the privilege of having a session with Jolie in July 2020. I have back and pelvic floor pains and walked away not only feeling physically comfortable but I also came away with more knowledge in relation to my body and te ao Maori. I felt very comfortable right away and will definitely being going back once my pepi is born. Nga mihi Jolie x

Z.

Magical weekend of self healing and healing my whanau(my mission). Such a safe space to feel raw and vulnerable. So Empowering in supporting other people in releasing their mamae. Jolie Davis is a staunch, genuine, funny person whose able to adapt her teachings to all walks of life. Her Tane Rob Popata is awesome! The love and support he has for his wahine is powerful. Their support team were all different individuals so were able to connect to the team. What a life changing experience, the magic i witnessed but was also apart of, is so life changing. I left with so much encouragement, information and life time friends. Thank you so much for making me feel safe to be vulnerable, Thank you so much for the manaakitanga and Thank you so much for my Magical weekend x

L.

This has been a life changing and healing workshop for me. You are instantly welcomed in with love as family and the contined support goes above and beyond. The knowledge passed down from Jolie and her teaching style, both in theory and hands on, has a powerful way of sinking in and staying with you. This way a huge eye opener for me in realizing just how important self care and self awareness is for both myself and my family. I also recieved treatment that was like no other healing session that has litterally shown instant results. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jolie and the team. Thank you all so much.

C.

What an amazing crew, I feel privileged to have met you all and it felt more like we were Whanau by the end. I highly recommend this workshop, learning about our ancient healing ways, techniques but mainly about self care, which is where it all starts! I'm very grateful Jolie, my hands and arms haven't felt this good in 10yrs.

T.

Absolutely phenomenal! I had work done by Jolie and have never experienced anyone so skilled and intuitive. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone who's body needs some TLC, and look forward to working with her again.

T.

As a trained massage therapist I have tried a lot of massage over the years, and had a lot of disappointments! This I would rate in my tops!! Jolie gave my body exactly what it needed! I felt my energy surge during the session, as she honed in on and released tender points and tensions. Jolie gives her all, and I have already recommended others who have had amazing results. This is like no massage I have ever exerienced. If you want effective work and can handle a stronger massage, you have found your nirvana. Will be seeing you again Jolie!! THANK YOU!!!

E.

I've been seeing Julie now for a while and can not reccommend her enough. She is amazing at her mahi. Ngā mihi nui ki a koe e hoa!

Z.

Thanks so much Jolie, this was an amazing massage. I generally hold a lot of tension in my muscles and only a deep tissue massage will make a dent. Jolie uses massage targeting pressure points and manipulation of your body to achieve great results. I was suffering from full on headaches due to tension in my neck and left feeling instantly better. My only complaint is I don't live close enough to see Jolie regularly! Don't go expecting a gentle relaxing massage but highly recommend if you you want great results that target hard to shift pain and discomfort.

M.

I believe that people and things come into your life journey for a reason. We moved to New Zealand a year ago and I finally found the home my soul was looking for. My body on the other hand had years of stress, injury and pressure on it that I could not continue without some kind of intervention. That’s when I discovered Jolie on Facebook and decided to give it a go. 1st session done today and I felt so comfortable the minute I met her. Walked out of there feeling like $1 million. thank you, Kia mihi (hope that’s right) for your help Jolie, can’t wait for the next session.

A.

Thoroughly enjoyed my session with Jolie I have had a bad back and never seemed to have enough pressure to release the tension until today, feeling light and inspired would highly recommend.

Z.

Jolie gave me an excellent massage. She found all of my tight spots and released a huge amount of tension. I left feeling much better. I wish I weren't just visiting New Zealand so I could use her again. Jolie really knows what she's doing and has a good sense of humour too. Highly recommended.

T.

Beautiful experience with Jolie, holistic care and nuturing of the hinengaro and wairua while working through the tension on the tinana. Ngā mihi nui Jolie for your time and knowledge

M.

I have had a few mirimiri, but Jolie is by far the best I've experienced! She wasted no time in getting in to the parts that needed to be worked on, and did it with care and consideration. Jolie is someone I will always go back to.

O.

Tēnā tātou e te whānau. I have attended 2 of Jolie’s wananga so far, & I am delighted to validate that she is not only an amazing & inspiring Kaiako, but she is also an equally amazing & inspiring person as well. Whether you are new to the realm of Traditional Maori Healing, or whether you are already a seasoned practitioner, if your intention is to learn, grow, transform & gain a deeper understanding about Traditional Māori Healing, you will without a doubt achieve those goals. Jolie has the ability to articulate & transfer some of the deep esoteric knowledge & wisdom of our ancestors, not only clearly & concisely in plain simple language which is easy to understand, but also in a fun & relaxed manner which matches where each person is at in each moment. For those of us who are already on the Rongoā Māori waka, rest assured that Jolie also has the mana & the kaha to hold space for us to also expand our horizons & go next level. It’s amazing how much someone can transcend in such a short length of time when their intentions are pure & good. There are many layers & levels in Te Ao Māori, so there is ALWAYS something new to learn. The fact that Jolie continues to share more knowledge to the Manawa Ora Community online facebook group, clearly shows that she is an authentic embodiment of Manaakitanga & Manawa Ora. I for one am so very grateful for Jolie’s commitment to sharing her insights, wisdom & the teachings of our ancestors. He Wahine Toa, he Māreikura, he tūturu Kaitiaki o te kaupapa o Rongoā Māori… to anyone thinking about attending Jolie’s wananga, I fully & whole heartedly endorse Jolie’s teaching style & ability to hold space in any kind of mixed group dynamic. If all the stars align & the opportunity should arise again, I would have no hesitation in attending another wananga with Jolie. To any who are unsure about whether you are ready to take the leap of faith, I hope my testimony helps you to find clarity in trusting that your pathway has been guided to Jolie for a good reason. Listen to the wisdom of your heart over the voices in your head & the truth will be revealed. Ka nui te mihi ki a koutou katoa, Krishna Gotty Ora Tribal Medicine

J.

I am so glad all other massages I looked for were booked because Jolie is hands down the best massage I have ever received. Highly recommend for anyone! I left feeling revitalized, happy, breathing better, and overall rejuvenated. A review alone can't explain what you are missing. Go get one now! I promise you won't regret it.

J.

I had 2 sessions with Jolie, I was feeling so much better after even the first one. Better than I’ve felt for a long time. It was an amazing experience, physically and spiritually, and I highly recommend seeing her.

D.

Second time round in attending one of these workshops and again, the experience is amazing! I learned so so much and I found another tribe of like minded people. Want to know more about this amazing culture? Want to be drenched in waiata (song), aroha (love), knowledge, powerful experiences, mana (presence,/honour/pride) and much more? Do it!

J.

I took the opportunity to take part in Jolie’s course though I knew next to nothing about what it was going to offer or teach me. I had no idea why I was even interested in going and learning, but I completed the course having learnt so much just about myself and what Jolie and her team have to offer. We were able to learn techniques and knowledge around mirimiri and romiromi and had plenty of practice on each other throughout the duration of the course. Not only that, but as we were learning to heal, we too were being healed and that alone is what stood out the most for me. Before I applied for the course, I had contacted a family member who knows Jolie and her mahi as I was skeptical about the total cost of the course and I was advised that it was definitely worth my buck. It has been one of the best investments I have made for my own health, healing and journey. This is not something you want to miss out on

M.

Jolie gave me the best massage ever. She released muscles that have been like rocks for so long. The facilities are clean and comfortable, there was no waiting. I wish she were in Auckland so I could see her regularly. I'll definitely be back and recommend her to anyone who likes endorphin release.

J.

Jolie and her team really know their stuff. They know how to get their message across in terms of kaupapa, and also encourage participants to enable their own learning by doing hands on practice. Jolie and the team are always leading by example, by getting into the community and healing, while also educating about the cultural practice of massage and other techniques too. They are also humble, and keep their course prices affordable for the Everyman and Everywoman to be able to access this ancient knowledge and practice

T.

I can’t express the deep love and satisfaction I got from attending the Workshop with Jolie and her fantastic team. The knowledge that Jolie shares is more than just MiriMiri. It teaches you about yourself and helps you to reconnect with your Mana, in a deep and profound way. I have suffered Complex PTSD for many many years and have searched far and wide for something to help me. I haven’t had an episode since attending the workshop. I attended the Workshop last year and it stays with you forever. And unlike other workshops, Jolie’s wealth of knowledge doesn’t stop after you’ve attended. You connect with likeminded souls who become your whanau and genuinely keep in contact with each other - this is a one of a kind workshop that fills your bucket, touches your soul and helps you overcome whatever is keeping you from living your fullest life. I now use MiriMiri in my every day life, I share it with my whanau and friends - and I feel my soul is different. The dark veil has lifted and I’m so glad I attended the workshops. Don’t procrastinate, book into a workshop and find your Mana again 💚✌🏽Much Aroha and thanks to you Jolie ✌🏽

A.

I was lucky enough to do the 2 day workshop in Brisbane many months ago and can still easily tune back in to the lessons of love, strength and overwhelming healing of the weekend. It feels like I was a student of a valuable and ancient tradition which I carry daily and keep learning from. I'd never had any experience with healing or healers before meeting Jolie and her amazing team. Manwa Ora Mirimiri are who I want to continue to learn from for the rest of my life. It's completely opened up my heart and an incredibly beautiful part of my Maori culture which I treasure. Their workshops are the perfect combination of practical and spiritual teachings. A life-changing experience. A. Te Whiu - Queensland, Australia

L.

A workshop for those wanting to learn a traditional Maori healing modality. Healing will take place for you even when you didn’t think you needed it upon arriving. It did for me, now I’m able to put everything I’ve learnt from the Manawa Ora Workshop into practice and help others. Jolie has been very helpful in giving advice well and truly after the workshop has ended as well... I highly recommend doing Manawa Ora workshop, you won’t regret it 🦋 Laura W

S.

Attending a Manawa Ora Mirimiri Workshop facilitated my need to move forward in my healing journey and for me to step up and embrace all that I am. Jolie and her team worked hard to teach, support and love each and everyone of the group. The knowledge passed onto us is the foundations from which we will grow. I faced my own challenge that weekend but never feared for I was safe, protected, accepted and loved.

S.

What a weekend-An experience I wont forget, I feel lighter and more "awake" than I have in a long time, It was alot to take in, all the beautiful people and energy to be around, I found it so interesting and want to learn/know more- now I have to put it to practice! I've always struggled with focusing but knew It was going to be something special and it has helped direct me to a better path (one i knew i had to go down but have been avoiding) I dont really have the words to describe but everything Ive taken from this will stick with me. Thank you Jolie for the opportunity to come to this. It came at the right time :)

j.

Very powerful work releasing healing from the deepest levels physically and spiritually Jolie also provides grounded and practical advice for you to take into your life moving forward. Awesome.

M.

Hi there? I would like to start with definitely make time to do a workshop with Jolie, u will never look back.. For someone that has been looking for years now for support and guidance for chronic pain and pain management, I will never look back and can't thank Jolie enough for her powerful transformation.. I loved everything from the people, to the understanding about traditional healing and the kai if course.. The grounding is out if this world, I'm very connected now. For someone who had no understanding about this amazing workshop, Mirimiri is in my life forever now and can't thank Jolie enough. For that Thank you Thank you Thank you x

T.

My first Marae course for nearly over 9years. I wasnt expecting to come out with a sore leg from doing the circle sit on your mate behind me exercise. When We all fell Jo feel right on my leg and I felt a crack. Day1. Dam limping throughout the duration of course. Not what I was expecting and neither expecting to be on that table so soon. I am now at the Doctor's getting checked over mainly to file an ACC claim as I am a Healthcare worker I shower the elderly and clean their homes on a daily basis. I need to cover myself in case my body gets worse. I am telling them that I slipped at home trying to hang my washing out. They don't need to know the truth as I respected your korero around protection from the healthcare system. I have been polticing my leg with kawakawa. Resting and raising it but I am full on back at mahi now. Gotta pay my Bill's. I loved the course and want to do the mahi u do but self care first for me. It's a struggle for me on a personal and physical note but making every effort to look after me. Kia ora Tina Mareikura.

N.

Cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Jolie, 2 sessions and my back/neck pain completely gone 🙏 Amazing results, not just for me but also for the friends I have since recommended to have treatment. Will definitely be back 😇

A.

Jolie is awesome. I woke up pain free for the first time in 3 years. She also showed me how to support my body and do my own corrections! Grateful beyond words.

T.

I have just finished the Manawa Ora workshop weekend with Jolie here in Kaapiti and what an inspiring wananga it was. Jolie is an excellent kaiwhakahaere/facilitator who knows her stuff and shares it in a beautiful way. Holding space, sharing knowledge, allowing korero, practical hands on work, and so on. I highly recommend that anyone who has the opportunity to attend her workshops or is in need of body work to make sure you don't miss out - just do it!

Jolie and her team ran a fun and professional workshop, with the perfect amount of korero, hands on and cups of tea! An enlightening weekend sharing the ways of our tipuna to care for and heal our physical and emotional trauma that we carry for far too long. Clearing the way for healing not just for us but the generations to come. This learning is for everybody, thank you Jolie for sharing this taonga xxx

Kia Ora. Ko Wayne Te Kere Toku Ingoa. I had big plans of learning bone setting, Chinese healing. I’ve seen there was very few people around Sydney that was teaching hands on healing and because of there protocols it didn’t sit with me. I’ve been watching Manawa Ora Mirimiri workshop for about a year then I seen Jolie advertise they were coming to Sydney, that’s me I’m going!!!! Jolie and her team was easy to understand + makes sense, the knowledge and teaching she has to offer is from the old ways. I strongly recommend everyone to attend one of her workshop. Manawa Ora Sydney...

S.

My first mirimiri and it was transformational. Jolie is strong, authentic, warm and articulate. I felt safe and cared for. Thanks again Jolie, Arohanui e hoa.

P.

I have had sciatica consume me 4 two years and one hard healing from Jolie I did half a marathon and feel like a completely different person, things I could not do before I can do again, if you want to shift your reality this is the way forward. In March I did Manawa Ora Workshop at Kokiri Marae #43 and I found myself in an accelerated decolonisation process that gave me an opportunity to try an array of tools and techniques that resonated which draws your true self out and reminds you who the heck you are lol. It made me face my shadows and highlighted what I need to do move forward and heal holistically. I believe this would help entire whanau healing together, hapu, Iwi. What a difference this nation would be if we all experienced this way of being. Once you know....you cannot unknow so be gentle on yourself and give time to process and reflect your experience.

R.

This has been a start to my own self healing and self discovery haerenga. In order to heal others you must heal yourself 1st. Will definitel be attending this workshop afew more times. Had the best experience in a safe space and the kaimahi are beautiful inside and out. Highly recommend others out there to go and learn some great tools and teachings from one of the best. Ngaa mihi nui ki a koe Jolie koutou te roopu Manawa Ora Mirimiri. Mauri Ora

I've been privileged enough to have recently experienced Manawa Ora Mirimiri from Jolie Davis and also her workshops. She is a truly gifted healer in her treatment for injury and pain. I've seen so many healers and specialists for my chronic jaw pain which I've suffered from for many years, and she basically wiped it out in one session. She doesn't want to see you over and over again, her genuine and authentic goal is to fix the problem in front of her. I appreciate her very direct and "no-fluff" approach to healing, just going straight to the point, and doing what needs to be done. If you've suffered from pain and injury make an appointment today! A word of warning, mirimiri is not massage people 😂 In terms of the workshop, I never considered myself a 'healer' so wasn't sure if the workshop was for me. But it most definitely was. This is so much more than a workshop to learn 'stuff' I struggle to find the words to truly convey what you experience here as it is so 'experiential' and a massive eye-opening and transformational journey. Not your average workshop for sure, there are some deep lessons and amazing shifts that will happen and I'm going to do it again. If you are interested in healing (for yourself and others), spirituality, te ao Maori and connecting with like minded people, this workshop is for you.

I attended the Workshop in Wollongong in Jan 2019. On arrival at the site it was apparent I was in for an experience that was going to change me for the better as a person. I didnt know what I was expecting besides the obvious (learning) so going with the flow and remaining present were my main goals for the next two days. I was met with Aroha, knowledge, laughter, waiata and respect from everyone who attended and the amazing team were all awesome whanau. My experience about learning new skills was awesome. Manawa Ora catered for all types of learning from Oral, written, practical and visual that was very well thought about as its importance for inclusion was apparent. As Jolie stood with mana and taught from a place of extensive experience and knowledge, it was amazing to bare witness to as it reconnected my wairua to this part of me. Many tohu were presented to me during those two days where it also revealed another another part of my story that I needed to hear. I gained so many valuable lessons about why Te Ao Maori is important in this ever evolving world we currently live in. Its being true to who we are as Maori, what gifts we have that need to be utilised effectively for the betterment of our whanau and others, the duties we have to ensure we carry this with pride in our hearts. Learning karakia and waiata was reka rite. Meeting new whanau was awesome. Meeting a new part of myself that can do this mahi is always a good thing and walking in my mana is long overdue. Everything was taught with experience, honour, respect and skill by both Jolie and whanau. I am forever greatful (I like this spelling not the american version) for Jolie coming to Australia with the whanau to do Manawa Ora. I have dreamt of this for at least 2 years of attending a wananga of Jolies and have completed one....finally. I can't recommend these wananga highly enough you wont be disappointed. Nga mihi Jolie and whanau I hope to see you all soon.

M.

I had the privilege of joining one of Aunty Jolie and Matua Robs workshops and all I can say is WOWWW!!!! Very wise and knowledgeable people and I am very thankful for being given the knowledge of our ancestors that has been suppressed for so long. Not a moment in my mind where I did not want to be there! I had spiritual experiences throughout and the Kai was just way to good😂 Thank you korua me to roopu mō tō matauranga. I am so proud to be apart of your journey also. I think that your kaupapa is absolutely amazing and I want to Tautoko that kaupapa all the way. Arohanui, Narz #manawa43

K.

For me it has been a life changing experience. I have had a lot of trauma throughout my life and not knowing how I had trapped that within myself was a huge wake up call. Through my healings from Jolie, I have been blessed to be able to introduce my whanau to her. That is purely because they have seen the shift in me. Also I am able to use the skills that I learnt on friends and whanau with amazing results. Thanks Jolie forever grateful 😍😍

L.

It was such a privilege for myself to experience in wananga the healing and learning that took place with myself and all of my new extended whanau. I would like to thank Jolie, Joe and her roopu for inspiring me to be the best version of myself. If you are seeking to be a better version of yourself I would encourage you to go on a Journey with Manawa Ora nga mihi

s.

Absolutely loved my massage! I have had sciatica for many years and I was seeing Chiropractors constantly. Jolie's massage is not your usual and be under no illusions she targets pressure points on your body you didn't even know existed.....BUT I'm now completely painfree! Locally this lady is recognised as one of the best in town - and a few of my work colleagues also recommended her to me - hence I thought I would give her a go. Unbelieveable results with her work. Must try :-)

N.

Well organised workshop. would recommend doing a follow up when you can to keep refreshed and to connect with others on the same path. A lot of workshops don’t give you the continuous support , however Jolie helped me and guided me through a healing / mirimiri on a person who had some heavy weight on him and had just come to see me straight from hospital , with a batch of antidepressants . I knew I had to check in with Jolie , being inexperienced, she guided me through via messages the best and safest treatment plan to help this man who was crying from the inside and was longing to feel the rongoa through our ancient practices such as mirimiri, romiromi, karakia , just to name a few . I’m honoured to have meet such a humbled , strong team and wouldn’t hesitate again . Thank you for reading this review it is truly an eye opening and thank you whanaunga for waking me up :) Mauri ora . Nadz .

H.

Jolie and the Manawa Ora crew make all participants of their incredible workshops feel like Whānau (family). Passing down ancient knowledge and powerful healing tools in a fun, easy to understand way that resonates as truth through your whole body. It's amazing to watch the transformation in people, lighting up and regaining their place and purpose. Attending for a second time I was able to measure the astronomical chance in me from the previous year. Miracles happen at these workshops. I am deeply grateful to call Manawa Ora Whānau Kia Ora x

B.

Jolie is a fantastic teacher, teaching the foundations and more of Mirimiri/Romiromi. Jolie’s knowledge and experience comes through in her work and I have learn’t lot’s in her workshop and videos and love the way she works. She is generous in sharing her knowledge and skills. I would highly recommend the Manawa Ora workshops with her and her team. Mauri ora 😀

M.

I have just been visiting family in Rotorua and after a stressful few months, neededa deep tissue massage to help my aches and pains. Jolie was excellent and helped relieve my lower back and leg/feet issues. I was so impressed, I went back the next day for a massage on my neck and upper legs. Jolie has a holistic approach to the well being of yoir body. I will definitely be back next time I am in Rotorua!

J.

A truly amazing and inspirational weekend with some amazing wahine. I learnt so much that i can use in my every day living and will also be able to incorporate into my mahi. So grateful to have been given this opportunity. Highly recommended for everyone and anyone on a wellness journey. Jolie and her crew will not disappoint.

M.

Totally, absolutely, unequivocally recommend this workshop to ALL. Having second thoughts, don't! I promise you, you will not be sorry. Jolie and her team provided me with insight, pain relief for spinal canal stenosis, tools on self care and quality aftercare by keeping you in touch with the people, tools, and contacts for further healing/learning.

D.

If your sitting on the fence thinking about doing this, just do it. I've just finished the 2-day workshop and you will get more from it than you expected. It's raw, it's real and it's what you need at the time. It's helped me break down barriers and get going. Fence sitters get nowhere and I'm so happy to be off that darn thing :)

G.

Pragmatic, honest, funny, deeply emotive sharing of old concepts in a new world Jolie keeps it real with her awsome sharing from the tools she has mastered. Her team assist in creating a really well held event that flows, with heaps of support and guidance bringing spirituality into the physical.

M.

Ive only had one session with Jolie and what an amazing experience. I totally recommend you see her, if your body, mind, and soul are not in tuned with each other

R.

This has been a start to my own self healing and self discovery haerenga. In order to heal others you must heal yourself 1st. Will definitel be attending this workshop afew more times. Had the best experience in a safe space and the kaimahi …

s.

I am hapu with my 3rd tamaiti and I had the privilege of having a session with Jolie in July 2020. I have back and pelvic floor pains and walked away not only feeling physically comfortable but I also came away with more knowledge in …

A.

I have had quite a few massages at different places. Jolie certainly found all my tight spots and I felt really good after her massage. I even loosened up more over the next couple of days. Well worth a visit. She also has a great sense of humour.

L.

A workshop for those wanting to learn a traditional Maori healing modality. Healing will take place for you even when you didn’t think you needed it upon arriving. It did for me, now I’m able to put everything I’ve learnt from the Manawa …

A.

Jolie, you are amazing and one of a kind! When they made you they truely broke the mould ! I thought I had exhausted all my options in trying to live a pain free life. Osteapath, Chiro, physio, acupuncture.... you name it I tried it and yet …

G.

Highly recommend attending Jolie and her team's workshop! A life-changing experience and knowledge that will be forever in my heart ♥ thank you 🙏

R.

Highly recommend attending this wonderful workshop. From new beginner to experienced you will surely walk away feeling content with the learning and knowledge gained. You cannot put a price on the learning and experience involved. I look forward to attending future workshops to enhance my mahi.

M.

This is a seriously life changing workshop. Ive noticed so many shifts in my personal life and in my business. I stepped into a higher realm of awareness and come from a place in my heart more easily than the place in my mind that limited space that does not really serve us to live in. Jolie holds the space and teaches from her heart with a wealth of knowledge, Making sense of this powerful healing skill. When its that easy to understand and keep up with, you just know its real. You feel the energy in your entire body, a full body experience, hands, feet, heart, Puku, everything is lighter. I actually recommend anyone who's ever thought about doing this but has hummed and haaa'd, to just blimmin go ahead get out of your head and into your heart and do it!!! Your life and the life of your loved ones will 100% change, FOR THE BETTER. NOW My candle is burning bright .

A.

Kiaora whanau! Last weekend I got right out of my comfort zone and took part in a Manawa Ora Mirimiri Workshop. Before taking part in this I felt so extremely disconnected from myself and discontent with life. I've always been a seeker of truth and strongly believe that the way we currently live in this colonised capitalist society is so wrong an unnatural! I had been beaten down by living a corporate lifestyle for the past decade and also very disconnected from the knowledge of my own people. When I seen this workshop advertised I finally put aside the whakama of being fair skinned and rejected and start driving myself towards the path of learning this knowledge instead of shying away, I knew I must persevere in order to heal the inter-generational trauma within my family and break the cycle. Jolie was such an incredible and inspiring teacher and I was so blown away with her knowledge, confidence and beautiful way she delivered this training along with the rest of the Manawa Ora whanau. Mirimiri and Romiromi are so practical, so logical, yet incorporate emotional and spiritual aspect which are so important in healing as whole being, SO many people can be healed and transformed with this! Jolie did some mahi on me which released years of tension and stress from body (have been to all sorts of doctors/specialist for RSI but nothing compares or has ever given me so much relief) Thank you deep down from the bottom of my heart not only for sharing this wisdom, but you have truly inspired me that there is hope for not only my own healing but my whanau and all the entire world. To all my friends and family if you ever get an opportunity to take part in one of these workshops, please do it! The transformation and healing that takes is truly incredible! Healing is for everyone! Mauri Ora!!! xxxx

B.

Had a massage with Jolie just before Christmas and have felt a lot better since. She dealt with some tight muscle issues in my legs that impacted on my hip and ankles. Wished I had time to see her for a second appointment during our holiday.

J.

Where to start?? This workshop is truly amazing and I feel so blessed and grateful for a second time. I was apart of the 2019 finale and some incredible healing and learning went on. 110% recommend ANYONE (not just Māori) to take part in the mirimiri workshop. Ngā mihi Jolie and the beautiful team. Jessie

T.

A life changing experience! I've been looking for an authentic Mirimiri Workshop and there are so few people who do this work. Jolie is knowledgeable, experienced and works intuitively - everyone gets exactly what the need from this. We learn so much in 2 days; the importance of connecting with self, tikanga, Wairua, Mauri. And the Mirimiri foundational teachings, including self care from a Te Ao Maori world view and using the rakau/kohatu, which are necessary for taking your awareness and learning to the next level. I wish it was longer! Heoi ano will be attending more...Mihi kau atu :-)

K.

Jolie is awesome. I am a cyclist from the US, and was having some issues with my legs. She sorted things out in a super way. I have seen several therapists in the US, but Jolie is so much better. I am completely satisfied with the results. Thanks so much!!

s.

Absolutely recommend either making a personal booking for yourself with jolie, or attending one of the manawa ora mirimiri workshops she and her team hold.The best thing we can do for ourselves is take care of our mind, body and soul, physically, mentally and spiritually!!! And this lady is going to help you achieve that.

S.

So much I could say but it was amaaaaazzziiinnggg! Definitely cleansed my wairua, definitely felt my tipuna around. Jolie is awesome. Definitely recommended !! Ngā mihi 💫

M.

Best massage of my life! Jolie worked on my whiplash injuries from an old motor vehicle accident. My jaw and neck relaxed for the first time in three years. It was definitely a therapeutic massage, so be prepared for deep tissue work. Superb work! I highly recommend it!

I.

This workshop was more than I expected. I felt safe, I felt nourished, protected, educated, empowered and respected and I walk away with so much knowledge and many tools to apply to my life and my families. Whaea Jolie, Matua Rob and their team were amazing and I look forward to staying connected with the community!

Y.

Severe pain on my knee, lower back and neck. Jo did the therapy on all the three things and I felt lighter. I could feel my back is straight and flexibility have increased. I was able to do squats after a long time. Lower back feel relax n it’s not heavy like when you awake by in the morning. And of course she is someone good to chat with. Thank you

R.

Went in to see Jolie the day before a big mtb race in Rotorua to freshen up some tired muscles. She found some spots that had not been released for a while and I feel the best I've felt after a massage for a long long time...highly recommend anyone to see Jolie, she knows what she's doing and is great to chat with too!

s.

I was a member of a group of 6 mountain bikers visiting from Perth. We discovered Jolie and her unique brand of 'massage' that is nothing like any of us have ever experienced before! All I can say is she definately sorts things out....I had an ongoing shoulder injury and lower back pain from a bad fall 2 years ago....now I feel fantastic! We are all amazed and excited to find someone of her calibre here in Rotorua. Looking forward to catching up next time we come back to ROTOVEGAS lol Cheers Jolie :-)

W.

Ancient Maori Healing Body Work Mirmiri Manawa Workshp Not Just for the Maori But very Warm Loving and Welcoming to All Nations. Jolies Knowledge Of Maori korero nehe -Maori Ancient History Is Sound and this workshop educates and teaches Practices that are vast becoming the Choice of healing today over western medicines. I had the privelidge of attending the 2018 gold coast Workshop and I completed the workshop with alot more grounding and connection to my identity as a Maori here in Australia this workshop had a huge whanau influence along with the spirit the wairua of everybodies Tipuna in the same room at the same time. imlooking forward to attending once again the Manawa Workshops this year to further learn and practice more Mirimiri with my Manawa whanau Haumi e Hui E Taiiki E !!

B.

Manawa Ora's mirimiri workshops are amazing and a must for all! Conducted in a supportive, friendly environment they are filled with so much learning, healing, aroha and whanaunatanga for Māori and non-Māori alike. I got so much out of the weekend both for myself and my family. Awesome kai too :)

T.

The Mirimiri Workshop I attended with Manawa Ora was absolutely amazing! It really helped me bring the healing knowledge I already had to a deeper level. The Manawa Ora team are extremely knowledgeable and will guide you through the journey with grace and strength. The connections made during and after the workshop have been priceless. I cannot praise this workshop enough. Stop thinking about it, just book in and go for it. Nga Mihi xx

B.

Unbelievable!!! I have had osteopathic treatment, chiropractors and number of regular massages and no one has given me the relief that Jolie has. I have 2 prolapsed discs one with a partial tear and ongoing sciatic pain. I have had two treatments and am optimistic about the future thanks to her treatment.

S.

Attended the workshop this weekend and had a very positive experience, even though I did not have any background knowledge about Miri Miri, Jolie is very intuitive and read the group well guiding us through what we could all handle and grasp in such a short amount of time. What i most enjoyed was meeting everyone on the course and connecting with people i normally do not have the opportunity to meet.

C.

Kia ora. Wow! I experienced more than expected at my treatment session with Jolie. Not only physical relief from old injuries and holding emotional stress etc.... but even more than that... thank you for speaking into my wairua and reminding me of who I am and encouraging me to continue seeking... 'aroha mai, aroha atu'

A.

Kia ora Whanau, I hope that you are all well. My journey so far has been great, im still feeling awesome, Physically, Mentally, Emotinally and Intuitively clearer towards my hikoi on MY PATH to Healing thy self first and fore most and I have felt a "Shift" in my life. My neck is not as puffy and since, my back has been great and then I have also LOST 5kgs withour trying!....Also my woman monthly has become lighter and had been extremly heavy the past 6 months....not this time sunshine! 😁👍🏽🤩🎉 I had previuosly tried alsorts to lose weight but it just wouldnt shift! I know within myself that when I stress and hold tention and emotion I get added kilos! Yip, I have known this for a while but never knew where to start on how to clear the blockages Physically, Emotionally, Mentally and Spiritually and since Jolie Davis dug deep into me with her knowledge and skills my life has started to change and started my path to heal after a recent traumatic event along with past mamae that I didnt realise still had a huge impact on me! But all I can say is THANK YOU SO MUCH. If you hold on to past emotions, life events, health problems you can make a change with Mirimiri/Romiromi and believe it works but most of all let go of everything and be open to make that "SHIFT" happen! I felt I was meant to be there that weekend even before I arrived, I knew deep down that it was going to help me and I asked my tupuna also to help guide me.and take it all away! The weight loss was an added bonus I was there for the spiritual and emotional blockages and to LEARN LEARN LEARN. I will be back again and can not recommend Jolie and the Manawa Ora whanau enough. Its been two.weeks now since my Romiromi healing and still feel fantastic. Mauri Ora! 💞🙏😁

J.

Kia Ora e te whanau. Was a privilege to attend Jolies workshop. The Learning gained goes deeper than just superficial hands on massage. Mirimiri & Romirimi are NOT massage whanau, you will appreciate the teachings as to why when you attend. My personal experience was life changing at depths that only a whale could go and will follow me as I continue to practice from this space of whatumanawa. If I could attend every workshop Jolie and Manawa Ora ran, I would in a heartbeat to continue learning and gaining knowledge so that I can continue to work at all different levels for all our peoples, and share this ataahua Taonga with the world. Mauri Ora x

T.

Humbling experience shared with beautiful people from all walks of life. Personally I’m feeling light both physically, and spiritually. Loved everything about the weekend the laughter, tears, waiata sharing & connecting with whanau. Thank you both for keeping us safe and giving us space to develop your gift, practises and knowledge with us. I will definitely be back for a refresher hopefully bring my sister or cousins along....much love and light to you both Jolie and Rob💕

D.

Not enough words to express the awesome mahi Jolie is sharing with the whanau. Jolie has a lot of knowledge and a lot of aroha for the people. For anyone who's wanting to put some more kai in their puku, Jolie and the whanau at Manawa Ora Mirimiri will share with you the sweetest of kumara.

H.

One of the best wananga i have been to safe environment with a warm welcome. Highly recomended for all wether your looking for revision or begining there is something give and take away from the teachings tena koutou e te whanau manawa ora pai too mahi nga mihi nui 💚❤💜

A.

I have had quite a few massages at different places. Jolie certainly found all my tight spots and I felt really good after her massage. I even loosened up more over the next couple of days. Well worth a visit. She also has a great sense of humour.

A.

I’ve always wanted my body to be adjusted back to normal but have never known how to go about it. I’ve had other services turn me away as I’m not in pain then and there. Just sitting in the room here she saw immediate signs of pain and has taken the time and care to see to my body and the issues around this. Years of pain dealt to and have had a lot of positive results from here

A.

Jolie is amazing!!! I am now a regular client, and have referred anyone and everyone to her. She's very honest and will tell you when you actually need to come to her!! My BEST massages ever!

D.

The team at Manawa Ora are heart centred, authentic, as real as you can get. If you are looking for a direct healing experience, look no further. Mirimiri and the rich history and philosophy behind Maori indigenous healing, is profound, simple, yet extremely deep in content. As a long time bodyworker I cannot recommend enough the power that learning these techniques can have to your practice as well as your own relationship to yourself. Go for it!

K.

Kia ora Jolie, I recently attended a weekend workshop in Kapati and cannot thank you enough for the opportunity as Tangata Te Tiriti to share in the holistic knowledge of healing and hauora that is grounded in Te Ao Māori. Thank you for your strength and wisdom and the true way you share the knowledge of your ancestors. You are impressively connected to source and I am humbled to have met you and your gorgeous team. As Tangata Tiriti I will always respect the kaitaiki of that knowledge and will credit you whenever I share aspects of what I have learned with our tauira as I do my mahi Thank you again wahine toa, my butt and gut will never be the same again!!! I'm blessed and so much lighter in the practice of placing myself before others in order to have the stamina to do as much good work as possible.

M.

I was part of the first workshop. As a European freshly arrived in NZ, I had no real expectation of what Miri miri was. The workshop went through some basic techniques and gave an overview of the spiritual side of miri miri as well. I really enjoy the use of the stick and the stone to access the deep tissues. Overall those two days taught me to trust my instinct to heal my Whanau. I recommended this workshop to several people with osteopathic background and they enjoyed it as well.

A.

This has been one of the best personal & therapeutic learnings I have done in my life. Jolie and her kind “BIG HEARTED”, crew had all things covered. Making you feel welcome as soon as you stepped through the learning door. I could feel the passion and the hearted centred work fill my learning basket through the entire workshop! Thanks for helping to clear through some major Internal blocks & teaching me new skills now I am ready to conquer my journey in life. Mauri Ora_ Aniwaniwa Mahanga.

P.

The course gave me a remembering of what it is to be Māori. To be able share my love and knowledge of all things healing and nurturing. I felt that Jolie gave us permission and the strength to accept our authority to give our healing gifts .... to tap into those we meet and their guides to assist in their own healing There are profound truth that is freely shared and remembered in the courses and a meeting of like minded brothers and sisters in the course and their tupuna that came with us too I have thoroughly enjoyed singing, laughing and finding my feet in mirimiri again Kia ora Sister and Tihei Mauriora!!!!!

j.

My experience of healing with Jolie was exactly what I wanted. I was looking for a strong indigenous Mana Wahine. Someone who ‘just knew’ Someone who wasn’t afraid to tell it like it is and someone who had ancient knowledge passed through DNA. The healing I received was not only for me but my Tamariki and Mokopuna. My session has set me up for an awesome year, this I know for sure. I am clearer at a cellular level. My mind, body and soul are in alignment once again. Mirimiri and Romiromi are modalities of healing that resonate with your wairua. It addresses your whole self. Past Present and Future. The Karakia was a gift. So much gratitude, thank you Jolie. From us all x

L.

Im 49 yrs an this was my very 1st experience with deep tissue massage. . I had sciatica for the 1st time 4 yrs ago and up until now I had so many problems with my left side. Couldn't even stretch properly without it starting to cramp up.. Since seeing Jolie, I can stretch without cramps comin on and I can walk properly with no limp at all.. Wish I had of done this 4 yrs ago.. ( 1 very happy customer)

C.

Such an AWESOME JOURNEY 🙏✨💙✨🙏 Much LOVE to Jolie and the team!!! Bloody marvelous!! Getting peeps together, so we can bring you to Whanganui ;-) 💙💙💙

U.

What an inspiring and compelling space this weekend has been. To be part of a knowledge source that is not only cultural but part of ancient lore has been humbling. Thank you Jolie for sharing your journey and knowledge, I value the privilege of being part of your mahi. Rob and your team, your quiet background work was very much appreciated.

E.

I can't recommend Jolie enough! I've never had deep tissue massage but it actually has sorted my neck issues, and my husbands back problem. Jolie gave me links and info to do exercises to ensure I keep things going smoothly. Thank you!!!

C.

Thank you Jolie. Fantastic mirimiri and advice going forward. Magnesium a must and thanks for the extra mirmiri on the neck area. It sure eased up the tight tension, and yes you are right. I did have whiplash a long while ago. Looking forward to another visit in 2021. Meri Kirihimete🤗

P.

Just wanted to touch base and say thank you Jolie for bringing me into the collective Mauri that was created over the weekend and for your dedication to this important mahi. Our people (actually everyone) are crying out for this. The problem I see is that they don’t know what they don’t know , so it’s important that all of us raise this mahi in others consciousness. I learned so much: This was the first time in a long time that I have invested back in me (my lesson number one, I need to invest (intentionally so) in my wellbeing and continued growth, so I am able to move forward and move others around me). I mentioned in my korero, that I’ve been an auditor and risk advisor for most of my working career and something moved in me spiritually, mentally and physically this weekend that I can’t explain as I’ve been trained to do. I accept I don’t need to explain but to simply say, I feel better and lighter and that I need to share this with others. (my lesson number two, continue to trust that, I and my Tupuna are guiding me to better Wellbeing, and greater enlightenment. One theme that resonated for me over the weekend is that of ‘Coming home where I belong’. I think the path I tread is incongruent with who I am and how I think, which hits to the core reason I sometimes battle at work and in some aspects of my personal life (my lesson number three, work to absolutely be congruent with myself). My last takeaway from the weekend, Miri miri / Romi romi is also about stimulating and agitating thought. (Lesson number four Miri miri and Romi romi works on the most important muscle in the body, the brain).

C.

Jolie is an excellent practitioner of mirimiri and romiromi - I walked away with much less soreness in my shoulders and back after the first treatment. I will be back!

K.

I have had good results and shifts since I’ve had regular mirimiri treatments with Jolie. Unresolved pain and injuries that I have been having for years have starting minimising and I can now start exercising again and enjoy fitness.

T.

Very powerful romi romi, Joli has helped me release a lot of tension /trauma and stress that has been stored in the body throughout my 36 years of life. I would recommend Jolis healing hands to everyone and anyone who is open minded

E.

I attended Jolie and crews workshop, I was looking for something but not sure what I was looking for. I found Karakia, Waiata, Korero, Haemata, Kohatu, Rakau and Romiromi. Thank you to Jolie and her crew for all the hard yards yall do. I highly recommend this workshop for all levels right down to the grassroots. My Mirimiri has been strengthened with the knowledge I have received.

T.

Really enjoyed the experience of learning mirimiri with Jolie & her team @ Manawa Ora In the August workshop. Also had the privledge of accessing Jolie after the course tumeke alright. ♡♡

M.

Ive only had one session with Jolie and what an amazing experience. I totally recommend you see her, if your body, mind, and soul are not in tuned with each other

O.

As a kaimirimiri/practitioner of mirimiri romiromi taught from a young age I love attending as many wananga, workshops and other kaimiri as possible. Thank God for Jolie and Manawa Ora Mirimiri and Workshops. The bodywork, care, teaching and understanding makes the entire journey with her one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I look forward to our next catch up and would recommend without hesitation. MANA! Mauri ora! Pani Hokianga.

I'm a Melburnian and visiting Rotorua. I have been to a number of osteopaths and myotherapists in Melbourne without providing much relief at times. Jollie provided a holistic treatment which has released a lot of pain in my back, adductors and hip area. Jollie used a number of techniques for releasing tight muscles. I highly recommend Jolie for any injurys or complaints. The practice is also very clean and professional. I wish Jollie was in Melbourne. Thank you very much Jollie. My lower back is not in pain now. Best wishes for Christmas.

Tane Cooper here from Hastings, Hawkes Bay. Beautifully run workshop done last year here in the bay. MIRIMIRI(Traditional Maori Healing Modality) pain is your friend makes you feel alive. Found out alot about myself and it changed the way I do treatments to this day! This workshop gave me a boost of confidence to treat people suffering from not only physical pain but mental pain by using different techniques shown to us by Jolie, her wisdom in body health and Maoridom used through out the workshop was both physically n spiritually empowering. Nga mihi . Tane Cooper

C.

Amazing! My mirimiri was awesome and I feel so limber now. Awesome!

N.

Do It!! Go & Experience the Mana of a modern Tohunga Wahine. I felt very honoured to have attended Whaea Jolie's Mirimiri workshop here in Perth. I went to fill my kete, to listen & absorb the knowledge we were being gifted and I came away with extra kete's and pockets full to the brim, lol. I highly recommend these workshops for ANYONE, they are an investment worth your time, commitment & putea, as this knowledge transcends generations and timelines (meaning there will always be something of value to learn). Speaking two years on it gives me joy to reflect on what was and where I am now. Attending Whaea's workshop was a pivotal time for my journey and that of my whanaus. Nga Mihi Nui Whaea for helping others rise & heal our whanau xx

R.

Manawa Ora restored my faith in natural bodywork healing. To have walked into thier workshop with years of chronic pain due to a tilted pelvis, knee injury and constant sciatica and walked away pain free, a brain soo full of knowledge and the skills to now care for my family and friends..... i am soo greatful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart xxx I urge anyone thinking theyve run out of options, or are sick of taking pain killers.... to be open wholeheartedly in the abilities that encompass The Manawa Ora roopu. You wont regret it xxx

M.

It's hard to put into words what I got out of this workshop, but from the moment I arrived I knew I was meant to be here. Jolie is a truly gifted wahine, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have learned from her, and to have received such powerful healing from her

C.

I loved seeing another cultures perspective. I loved the natural healing techniques, the beautiful music the pulled the group energy in , grounding it and uplifting at the same time. The sense of family, community, love and connection and so much more....just beautiful. With gratitude and love...thank you xox

T.

Awesome workshop, thank you Jolie and Robert. Second time round for me as I had attended this workshop last year also. I feel as though I have a whole new wealth of knowledge to add to my kete to benefit me in my work life as well as my whanau. Thank u again, I will definitely recommend to anyone interested in healing, arohanui Tasha

A.

An excellent experience of mirimiri from a well trained practitioner. I would strongly advocate the access to quality mirimiri such as provided by Jolie.

P.

Kāore he kupu mō tēnei wananga. SPEECHLESS. No words can describe what an awesome experience this workshop is. To unleash what our tipuna have left before us is incredible and at times: overwhelming to the point that you want to kick yourself. Why? You should have done this 20 years ago. Working in this environment takes you to another level of...... EVERYTHING. Ngā mihi nunui ki a koe Jolie, me te whānau o Manawa Ora Mirimiri. An awesome group to learn from and to work with. Step out of your comfort zone. Don't be shy. Learn the ways of our ancestors. Bring a balance into your life. Attend a MANAWA ORA MIRIMIRI Workshop. You'll thank yourself for it.

M.

One of the best healing wānanga you will ever do, he mihi nui ki a Jolie rāua ko tōna tane. The mātauranga you will gain on this journey is worth more than the fees - all I can say is thank you thank you thank you. Awesome knowledge combined with manaaki and full on hands on experience. My cup is flowing over 💯💕💜

T.

Jolie is very good, assured and intuitive. Open and friendly with lots of good advice. I'm still melting from my first session - and I'm keen to find time for the next one! Be prepared to go deep!

G.

Totally engaging & informative workshop. Delivered with the enthusiasm of one dedicated to her passion. Encompassing empathy for those ready & willing to learn. Enveloped within the essence of Te Ao Maori. An absolute privilege to have been part of Kia ora kia koe Jolie

K.

Healing was well overdue and Jolie made magic happen with her hands although we have more work to do a journey has begun. E kore nga mihi e mutu.

J.

I could not recommend Jolie and Manawa Ora enough, my experience so far has been incredible.

R.

Highly recommend attending this wonderful workshop. From new beginner to experienced you will surely walk away feeling content with the learning and knowledge gained. You cannot put a price on the learning and experience involved. I look forward to attending future workshops to enhance my mahi.

M.

This was an outstanding wānanga! Jolie's guidance, teaching, structure and pragmatism made this an excellent learning environment. This was complimented with Rob's support, providing delicious nutritious kai. I highly recommend this wānanga, for any and all that are looking to learn traditional Māori bodywork. E mihi ana kia körua tahi. Love and light and many thanks to you both for your manaaki and aroha.

A.

Jolie is absolutely amazing she released so much tension in my body and tought me alot about the different areas where tension is held and resons behind the tension. I feel very clear minded and relaxed now. Thank you so much Jolie.

H.

Thanks Jolie After years and many different specialist, I’ve enjoyed the past week pain free. It’s great to know that I don’t have to tolerate that constant pain in my lower back, that it can be resolved, thank you so much!! Pity it’s a 3 hour journey to see you but I will be back.

C.

I need Jolie back in the U.S. I carry a lot of stress and tension in my back. After leaving I felt completely relaxed and at ease. My only complaint is that I couldn't visit twice. Thanks again!

M.

Jolie is brilliant and has managed to fix my long term shoulder issue over a few treatments! Highly recommend :)

S.

Jolie is a wonderful teacher. Her approach and effectiveness in her workshops make for a safe and enjoyable space to learn, share and grow.

K.

Jolie thank you so much. Your knowledge and skills are truly a gift. You helped me in more ways than I can express. I whole heartedly recommend

M.

As someone with a connective tissue disorder I am very wary of people who don't know what they are doing - no such worries here. The intuition is to the level that its like she can see right into the body and know exactly where to work. Outstanding - highly recommend. Martin Brown

o.

Great session ! really addressed and highlighted things I really needed to work on internally and externally Very highly recommended!!

t.

Those that know me and know me well .. know that I rarely write, blog, be out the gate, let alone write reviews. U N L E S S ..................................................................... I am moved deeply and I mean that, Slowww Soul Churning (keeping you up night & day), Awakening (recognising a million AHAA moments), Urgent (insistent urging to level up & level up) which means if you are reading this REVIEW, that the Manawa Ora Mirimiri Workshops & Clinics facilitated by Jolie Davis with the support of her ever present 'cornerstone' Rob Popata, have been and continue to be, just that, on the daily. !!! Have reached waaayyy down deep into the abyss of my soul and simply resonated (like the whisper of the softest bell being rung) within my being. It was as though my soul heaved a massive sigh and said as if to an old dear friend that had been absent for a long long time - ahhhhh there you are. 1. I learned about the exchange of energy 2. I learned that Mirimiri is a powerful healing modality 3. I learned how to activate and stimulate the mauri 4. I learned Mirimiri is pragmatic 5. I learned the body has/holds pumaumaharatana (cellular memory) 6. I learned my Whatumanawa (supreme subconscious) is consistently active and is my internal compass/guide if I would only ... let myself 7. I learned about sacredness & self worth 8. I learned Mana (personal power) is the authority over ones self 9. I learned what the foundation of Mirimiri is .... ... I learned ... I learned ... I learned I learned when 'healing'. COURAGE, one must have an infinite flow of courage. FEARLESS, one must BE fearless and forge ahead. I am still learning ...

M.

Josie is a healer in every sense of the word. My treatment was catered to me, and me alone. Thorough is an understatement! I look forward to getting more treatments with Josie.

P.

It's always hard getting a tailored sports massage when you're out of town, but i was impressed by Jolie's intuative and confident approach to my treatment. No stuffing around, just great service!

M.

Empowering, awesome experience 🙌🏾 Wonderful teaching and sharing. Very grateful and blessed to have been a part of Manawa31. Definitely recommend to anyone and would love to learn more ❤

A.

Superb bodywork, myself and my partner had back to back sessions today and found Jolie to be an excellent practitioner, very highly recommended, this is not your softly-softly useless 'massage' but an excellent, deep and rejuvenating experience...thanks jolie!

C.

Thank you for a highly effective and thorough deep tissue massage. You're knowledgeable and approachable and I highly recommend you to others looking for a good quality massage. I'll be back next time I'm biking in rotorua. Awesome thanks so much. ☺

P.

There are no words that can express the relief i feel after sharing time and space with Jolie, i highly recommended her and her mahi xx ngā mihi

M.

The Mirimiri workshop is a must for any health practitioner. The course is well structured, enhancing your understanding and knowledge of indigenous bodywork and traditional Māori healing.

R.

Caution attending a manawa ora workshop can cause the following symptoms; rebirth, realignment, awakening, rebalance, growth, a newly found propulsion into life, a spark!. Do not attend if you enjoy stagnant empty living.

C.

4.5 stars!! Great massage technique. If you like getting out those knots that have built up in your body, Jolie will help.

T.

Was having troubles increasing in strength, and with muscle spasms in my back. I couldn't believe how much relief just one session gave me. Wish I was still living in Rotorua so I could make it a regular routine during my week. Highly recommended!!

A.

I have had an awesome two day workshop. Thank you Jolie, Rob and the rest of our group. I've learnt so much during this workshop that I didn't know. Awesome experience. I look forward to attending another one in the future 😍

A.

Words cannot describe the healing & learnings I gained from this weekend that super exceeded my expectations 🙌 Jolie & Rob - I totally appreciate & respect your mahi ❤️ the extensive knowledge that you share to challenge & empower whānau through healing is over and beyond💪 The lovely ladies that supported this kaupapa - thank you for your time and energy🙏 To my roopu who brought the 👌 vibes, created a safe space & were just so supportive - much love to you all. My journey of healing through self awareness, self acceptance & Growth has been ignited 🔥 The notion of ‘just letting go’ is implanted and a work in progress, as I choose to finally be present for myself 🌱 To respect the mana that I have, so I can do my greatest work through Arohā ❤️ If you are thinking about it - then just do it 👌You won’t regret it at all 💯 Nga mihi Nui 🤗

M.

Absolutely wonderful An firm body work will definitely be going back for more!! Highly recommended!! I also got a reading which I wasn’t expecting 👍🏼 Absolutely wonderful wahine toa.

2.

Dear Jolie it was a painful experience..nothing about smooth flowing and sleeping..more about breathing and giving up the resistances and flow with the pain ... letting go, what no longer belongs to me ... afterwards it feels like paradise .. my body feels 20 years younger when I get up the next day .. days later I still notice that my body is adjusting .... wonderful voice ..wonderful chants..and you definitely know what you are doing .... it was also funny - who can say , that she got a "Edelweiss" song sung during a treatment: -)) ... thank you for your mana and the manawa, which you bring into your treatment .... I would come back anytime .. 20000km are very far .. but who knows.....Life`s a big, wonderful experience..mahalo from Austria

M.

Wow! Awesome feeling. Didn't really know what to expect but great teacher aweskme energy going around in the class room. Learned a lot but soooo different then my normal energy healing. Thanks Jolie ❤Mona

P.

WOW "Real deep tissue massage" fantastic experience, really good at what she does, Jolie thank you!! will see you again when I'm in Rotorua. Paul

i.

Awesome Awesome Awesome I went to a Manawa Ora Workshop in 2018 I went for understanding knowledge and I got that and more I love the way Jolie teachers it is simple but effected it is soft but deep Jolie teacher you with a humbleness that bring peace and understanding if I could do every workshop of jolie I would so I say this from heart that if anyone is looking to do a workshop look no further than this one you will walk away feeling Wow gainning knowledge, healing, I take my hat of to Jolie and thank her deeply from heart

H.

Eye opener for sure! Mirimiri is something else, longing for the pain to experience the RELIEF! Workshop is run in a awesome intuitive way. Learned heaps. Kia ora Jolie. Aroha!

H.

Always room for improvement but thoroughly enjoyed this kaupapa, matauranga, mahi, engaging with new faces and making new relationships. Amazing team facilitating this kaupapa 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

s.

It was so nice to meet you You knew just by looking at me what was going on The release experienced was intense and worth it I cleansed in the ocean straight after the session and then took my self out for lunch Thank you so much for your mahi 🦋

D.

If your sitting on the fence thinking about doing this, just do it. I've just finished the 2-day workshop and you will get more from it than you expected. It's raw, it's real and it's what you need at the time. It's helped me break down barriers and get going. Fence sitters get nowhere and I'm so happy to be off that darn thing :)

P.

Thank you for the healing and guidance for the 9yr old and her mother.

K.

My back feels better than it has in years! I have tried other treatments before, but nothing else is anywhere near as effective as this!! I'm so excited to find something that actually WORKS for me...:-) Highly recommend

w.

Highly recommend when I went and did the course I didn't know what to expect definitely learnt a lot about myself not only that about grounding with Papatuanuku my wellbeing and what gifts I never knew I had .

M.

This was such an awesome experience. Jolie has great insight and approach. Will definitely be back.

A.

Amazing experience, very powerful!! I’m highly recommending to friends and family - everyone can gain something from this awesome treatment

J.

Tino miharo rawa atu tenei wànanga. I came to this wà with a set of intentions and boy did that change. I soon realised why I was really there. I have gained so much than just the foundations of mirimiri. Thank you both for your manaakitanga me te matauranga. Ka nui te mihi ki a korua. As Arnie would say " I'll be back" xx

M.

I have not gotten into my mirimiri atm it fells like i really need to do some more hands on practise. It would be a real blessing to beable to sit another class.

R.

Great Results!

T.

Fantastic experience while the team were visiting Ōtautahi. Only a shame the session couldn't have lasted longer.

N.

I booked this for my son nikora as he gets bad back pains an has not long undergone Ravitch surgery (8 weeks post op) he loved it, said he felt so much better an sad "Mum this is so your jam you'd love it" unfortunately the day an time available in otautahi I had touch finals so couldn't attend but would love to next time.

R.

An amazing experience, I would want this all the time. I originally went because I was feeling really down, after I felt grounded and lighter. The team were so friendly, kind and warm. Highly recommended for everyone. Keep up the awesome mahi, thank you so much - please let me know if you come back to chch 💚 so good for the body, mind and soul.

n.

Tena Koutou, I was priveliged to have the most healing I have ever had in my life in the timely 20min experience. To my complete suprise the depth and breadth of areas that were healed included Taku Tinana, Taku Hinengaro me Toku Wairua... I wasn't quite sure what had happened... the relief and feeling pain free was immediate. I would go as far to say "Lifechanging on all levels"...To be released and uplifted from the daily toll that life takes, I am TRULY GRATEFUL !!! Aroha Atu, Aroha Mai kia Koutou ..

N.

Exceptional. The session was intense but extremely supportive. I came out feeling energised, clear and connecting with my body.

C.

I had the best experience ever!!!so professional so experienced so much fun great music. I wish we had this in chch I’m not into doctors would rather have alternative treatments and medicines. Felt a millions dollars afterwards Thanks guys love and hugs Cheryl x

t.

I went with my daughter, the whole experience was beautiful. The mirimiri, set up, cost and waiata was bang on. Would attend regularly if offered here all the time.

D.

Could not recommend this mirimiri enough! Such a beautiful wairua from the moment we met the first person by the door. Thank you all so much. Also had an amazing sleep after. Ka mau te wehi!!

C.

Mirimiri massage is soulful, strong and healing..Accept and you will receive

V.

I highly recommend a mirimiri from this amazing team. The wellbeing of you should never be underestimated. If you have the opportunity to attend please do so. Nga mihi koutou.

M.

I had never experienced mirimiri or romiromi before but went along to the roadshow to find out more. I immediately felt relaxed and comfortable with my healer, she was amazing. I left feeling lighter and had an amazing sleep that night. Thank you so much for the opportunity to learn about this healing!

C.

I wholeheartedly agree with the comments below . Deeply moved by the Mirimiri experience. Jolie is a true Nuturer on many levels . I felt gratitude sweeping through the body and mind 🙏

M.

I had never experienced this modality of healing before. I went along to see what it was all about. I absolutely loved it. What a way to heal the body. It was slightly painful but that was all part of the healing process. My long held aches and pains dissipated immediately and have definitely lessened - I wish we had a practitioner here in Motueka :-( Thank you for the opportunity.

J.

It was an amazing experience. Afterwards it was the first whole night's sleep I have had since 2018. I have experienced cramp every night but not that night. I felt better than I have in years. Will be trying to find someone who offers this treatment locally now. Thank you.

M.

Loved their vibe and the mirimiri was short and intense. $20 for 20mins is an excellent taster for people who are curious. Im feeling very aligned and grateful. They were all energised and had healthy boundaries with their patients. Their workshops are encouraging to those who wish to step on this path. Appreciate you all!

R.

Amazing wahine with magical hands that worked on me, she instantly found every spot on my body that were mamae, will definitely book in next time you are all down in Te Waipounamu. Ngā mihi

C.

As soon as I heard that Manawa Ora were setting out on a South Island roadie, I immediately booked two appointments. I had heard good things about the experience but wanted to experience it myself. The benefits can be felt immediately and in several ways. The immediate blood rush to an affected body part and the slower release of tension. If I had been able to book longer appointments, I would have done. Nga mihi, Manawa Ora. I wish you every success with obtaining formal recognition from the Ministry of Health.

T.

This was such an amazing experience, I have had lower back issues for 21 years the level of relief and muscles that have relaxed in my glutes is incredible. I feel I've let go of some trauma that was stored there but no chiropractor has ever given me the amount of relief in all my years. I thank you for such a great session.

A.

Powerful and beautiful healing work. So grateful for this mahi.

T.

mai i te timatanga tae noa ki te mutunga, he tūmahi wheako rawe. Tēnā koutou ngā kaimahi e mahi te mahi o te mirimiri, te waiata, te wairua, ko te aha rānei. Most awesome experience. Kei te tino mihi.

(Translated) There are no words to express my gratitude to you Mother Jolie. I thought I was just going to get a massage to try and relieve my back pain, but in the time I spent with Whaea Jolie, she gave me soo much more than any amount of money could buy. She was able to connect with my spirit, my body, my mind and my emotions and help me discover more about myself through my ancestors and relieve the pressure in my back. I am beyond grateful to have experienced the love and the messages and would highly recommend Manawa Ora Mirimiri to anyone in need. I’ve already booked my next visit and looking forward to what the future holds. Follow the right path of your ancestors for a perfect life.

(Translated) We have to send our condolences to Jolie and Manawa Ora, and that's right. They brought the project to Nelson, which was completed, to Te Tauihu over the weekend. They are responsible for upholding the values of our ancestors in their responsibilities. Undoubtedly, the beneficiaries heard the incantations that calmed the souls of the people, so that their individual burdens could be relieved. Where do I have a word to say, Jolie, to put on you, congratulations. Rise up, O people, that the doors of the heart may be opened for these people to come in, to help and care for the people in the midst of the oppression of the epidemic. Greetings to you, greetings to all of us. (Original) Me tuku atu i te rau aroha ki a Jolie me te rōpū o Manawa Ora, ka tika hoki rā. Nā rātou te kaupapa i kawe mai ki Whakatū, he oti, ki Te Tauihu i ngā rangi whakatā kua hipa ake nei. Nō rātou anō te kaha ki te hāpai i ngā tikanga a ō tātou mātua tūpuna i roto i ō rātou kawenga. Kāore e kore, i rongo te hunga whai painga i ngā karakia i whakatau nei i te wairua o te tangata, kia mauru atu ai ngā toimahatanga kei tēnā, kei tēnā. Kei whea mai he kupu kōrero māku e Jolie, kia utaina atu ai ki runga i a koutou, tēnā koutou. Maranga mai e te iwi, kia tūwhera mai ai ngā kūaha o te ngākau kia kuhu mai ai te hunga nei, hei āwhina, hei manaaki i te iwi whānui i roto i ngā pēhitanga o te mate urutā. Tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa.
