Welcome to Te Whare O Kawakawa Spā

At Te Whare O Kawakawa Spā, we honour the wisdom of our tīpuna through sharing Rongoā Māori, creating natural healing products and experiences that support the wellbeing of the whole person, tinana, hinengaro, wairua, and whānau.

Each balm is thoughtfully handcrafted using traditional selected native plants and quality natural ingredients. Every creation carries not only the healing properties gifted by Papatūānuku, but also the intention, mauri, and aroha of the practitioner who prepares it. This sacred relationship between wairua, tangata, rākau, and whenua is woven into everything we create.

Founded by Justine Rangihaeata, Te Whare O Kawakawa Spā began its journey in 2015 in Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington), where Justine served her community through marae-based clinics and from her Whare Hauora nestled within the ngahere of Koraunui. In 2019, the clinic relocated to Kirikiriroa (Hamilton), creating a dedicated healing space where people could reconnect with their own wellbeing while continuing the vision of sharing the gifts of Rongoā Māori with communities throughout Aotearoa and beyond.

Our range of handcrafted rongoā has become trusted by many seeking natural support for pain, inflammation, mobility, and skin health.

Our signature Kawakawa Balm is renowned for its soothing, restorative qualities and everyday skin support. Our Tūpākihi (Tutu) Balm is carefully prepared using traditional knowledge and is valued for supporting joint comfort, reducing inflammation, and assisting the body's natural healing processes. Our Pain Relief Balm provides comforting support for tired muscles, aches, strains, and everyday discomfort.

At Te Whare O Kawakawa Spā, we believe true healing is more than simply treating symptoms, it is about restoring balance, strengthening connection, and empowering people to walk their own journey of wellbeing. Every product we create reflects our commitment to quality, sustainability, tikanga Māori, and the preservation of mātauranga handed down through generations.

May the healing gifts of te taiao guide and strengthen your journey. Thank you for choosing Te Whare O Kawakawa Spā, we are honoured to share this path of healing with you.
