About Manami

Hello! I am Manami from Japan.

I am an enthusiastic plant lover and an adventurous soul who deeply honours the healing power of nature.

For over 15 years, I have immersed myself in holistic health because I find true purpose in supporting people on their healing journeys. My path began with massage therapy, and naturally expanded into yoga, herbal medicine, and naturopathy. Healing runs in my lineage—my grandmother was a community healer, and her wisdom continues to guide my work.

I care deeply for my whānau, my community, and those who seek support. Through compassionate listening and recognising both our strengths and vulnerabilities, I support your innate ability to heal with a holistic, nature-aligned approach.

My passion is to help people reconnect with their "Mana" — our dignity, authenticity, and personal power. When we return to our bodies, honour our truth, and expand our "Mana", true healing becomes possible.

Along my travels, I learned from diverse healing traditions and discovered a universal truth: we flourish when we honour our uniqueness and trust our inner knowing.

As a healer, my intention is to cultivate self-awareness and self-love so you can make empowered choices for your wellbeing and live a life of vitality, connection, and joy.
