What is a Mauri Practitioner?
A Māori based practise that guides you to understand:
What is your magic & how
do you wield it?
Strengthen your cultural identity, protect and assert your mana, and preserve and channel your mauri.
“I learnt to channel my mauri to create art that reinforces cultural identity.”
What is Mauri?
Central to wellbeing from a Māori worldview is the concept of mauri (vitality). the life principle or essential quality of a being or entity,
“The mauri becomes an attribute of the self. The self and mauri are one. If there is something wrong with the mauri, the person is not well. When the person is physically and socially well, the mauri is in a state of balance, described as mauri tau (the mauri is at peace)”
- Hirini Moko Mead
Who are we?
The whakapapa of mauri
Māori lineage of our ‘life force’
Hineahuone derives from the words ‘hine’, to mean ‘woman’, ‘ahu’, meaning ‘to originate’ and ‘one’, meaning ‘clay’, ‘soil’ or ‘sand’. Hineahuone therefore meaning ‘woman originating from the soil’also known as Hinehauone, ‘hau’ meaning ‘wind’ or ‘breath’. Hinehauone meaning ‘woman who breathed from the soil’.
Papatuuaanuku (the earth mother) plays a principal role in this story. She is known as the first female figure, although godly, still embodying female attributes. Papatuuaanuku, uniquely comprising of earthly elements such as rock, mud, stone and clay. Her bodily fluids of lava, river waters and mud flows through her body, just as water flows around our body and blood through our arteries and veins.(Meads, 2016)

I have a “get in there” approach to uncover and reveal what whenua we have to nurture ancestral seeds and plant new seeds of wellbeing, activating the physical and spiritual channels of your own self-growth. Through bodywork, and koorero (discussion), we will bring understanding to any stagnant energy or blocked channels within your entire physical and spiritual bodies.
Overseeing your journey, reconnecting to your breath and exploring the creative ways in which the tools of your kete are crafted uniquely for you.
Ōriwa Clark
Matakite
With the gift of unconditional love, I can see where the lack of mauri needs to redirect and fill these areas with aroha, teaching you how to hold yourself in compassion and understanding. Through an online tuuaahu (space of ritual) I will help you grow the tools of intuition, discipline, ritual, connection to the taiao and integration.
“Ōriwa and I practise a collectivised method of supporting your hauora. We have very different tools in our kete but the same intention to remind people of their own ancestral ways of healing, being and seeing. “
