Many physical symptoms can be the direct result of lingering trauma or stress, which is why Māori bodywork focuses on realigning energy and clearing blockages, as an effective stimulus to release emotional blockages and speed recovery.
The build-up of tension in the body is the result of an accumulation of the stress and trauma we experience throughout our lives. Left untreated, it can lead to pain, illness or dysfunction on a physical, emotional, mental or spiritual level. Mirimiri healing helps reverse these effects by clearing the energetic systems of the body, restoring balance physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
