Mitch

Rongoā Practitioner

Mitch's journey into hauora began at a young age when she began learning from her nani in the early 1980's. This early exposure sparked her passion for natural and traditional healing practices. Over the years, she has continuously expanded her knowledge and understanding, eventually completing a Bachelors in Applied Science majoring in Human Biology then going on to a Masters in Osteopathic Medicine in 2005. Now Mitch loves learning about all forms of rongoā, from bodywork to rakau preparation.
