Ensuring people are happy and healthy at work is the core purpose of the EAP Services programme. We believe, ensuring that people have access to cultural support is also important. Understanding different world views on health and wellbeing is vital and while Western medical customs have a place in the healing process, so do indigenous approaches. Our Rongoā Māori support offering is focused on providing Māori health providers for Māori clients. If you are looking for more of a traditional approach to health and wellbeing, we are able to provide Rongoā Māori Support. Our Rongoā Māori offering is here to help across Aotearoa. 

Rongoā Māori can be described as the indigenous system of healing, health and wellbeing 0for the people of Aotearoa.  It comprises diverse practices and an emphasis on all dimensions of health. Rongoā can include but not limited to; herbal rongoā rākau (plant-based remedies), mirimiri, romiromi (traditional bodywork and healing), physical therapies such as massage and manipulation, mahi wairua (spiritual healing), and supportive talking therapies whakawhiti kōrero (intuitive and culturally grounded engagement and guidance). 

To access Rongoā Māori in your rohe (region) please contact EAP Services National Call Centre on 0800 327 669 to book an appointment. The process for booking is the same as our other EAP service offerings. Ask for a Rongoā appointment, the Rongoa provider will work with you to confirm a suitable time to meet.
