Waitapu Tohunga Matakite Consultant

Taherama Tamatea: ACC Registered Rongoā Māori Practitioner

My practice was initially informed by my mother Olive Te Tahuri Hollis, my grandfather Tipene Tamatea (my mother's father); my granduncle Kapi Adams; my involvement with Church affiliations, training and positions of responsibility within the Church; my many years practice as a Registered Nurse (retired in 2004); many Kuia, Koroua (elders); mentors Māori and Tauiwi (people from other cultures) along with continuing personal experiences, learning and teaching experiences overseas with other indigenous cultures, qualifications in both worlds, personal and professional development.

For the last 8 years, I have been working internationally, full-time, now part-time, teaching Spirituality as a Tōhunga/Matakite/Priestess, teaching sustainability development and living and also working as a Business Consultant.

I have weaved Te Taha Wairua and Mauri healing into everything I have done throughout my life. However, I wanted to be able to use Wairākau that could complement my practice. In 2005, I completed a Homeo-botanical Certificate (Wairākau infused medicines), 2008, and 2009, I completed Rongoā Māori courses.

I believe that one person's healing experience helps to heal and strengthen their "whole whakapapa (genealogy)."

Closed today.
