Your body already knows what it needs to let go of
Holistic bodywork, Romiromi and healing sessions in Hamilton, Aotearoa
I crossed continents to find this work. Twelve years in Aotearoa, shaped by the old European ways I grew up with and by the tikanga of Romiromi. I read what the body in front of me is asking for and I respond to that.
Who is Matua Jirka
Romiromi
Deep cellular Māori bodywork that moves through the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual layers. We use karakia to open and close the space, water spray with essential oils to lift heaviness, and the kind of pressure that invites the body past its edge without ever pushing past its safety. People leave lighter than they arrived.
What we can
work on together
Holistic Massage
A blend of sport massage, lymphatic work, reflexology, Thai and Shiatsu techniques as well as romiromi movements woven together in a sequence that follows what your body is actually holding.
Every session is different because every body is different. The work goes to the places that need it, at the depth they can handle.
Healing Sessions
We sit together and we find the root of what is keeping you where you are. Old patterns, family stories, things that have been circling for years. We work through them and we close them, making space for something new to come in. Available as a single session or in a bundle of two to five.
A moment that stays with me
A wāhine Māori came to me for her first Romiromi session. During that hour, something shifted. A memory surfaced that she had carried since childhood, one she had completely forgotten. The tears came, the sound came, and then the release came. She left the table lighter than I have words for.
That is why I do this work.
Who finds their way here
People who are ready to feel different. People who have tried other things and sense in their body that something still needs to shift. People who are tired of the same weight, the same patterns, the same stories playing out. People willing to take one small step and then another.
Small changes allow us to shift our future.
What People Are Saying
Hi! I'm just sharing about the amazing Romiromi session I had with my mate George.
So, I've been feeling a bit off lately, you know, life's usual twists and turns. As a foreigner in New Zealand and always wanting to try new things and cultural experiences, I decided to give Romiromi a shot knowing it's a traditional Maori healing practice. And wow, am I glad I did!
First off, walking into George's space was like stepping into a cozy oasis of calm vibes with lots of beautiful plants and paintings in his house. Seriously, the ambiance alone had me feeling relaxed. The gentle yet powerful Romiromi techniques from George just melt away all the stress and tension that had been stored in my body for some long time.
But it wasn't just about the physical stuff. George tuned into what I needed, not just physically, but emotionally too. Through Romiromi, he is able to read you and the problems in life that you are dealing with. He's got this knack for making you feel heard and understood.
If you're looking for a boost, some TLC, or just a darn good reason to treat yourself, I can't recommend George's Romiromi sessions enough. Just do yourself a favor and book one ASAP, seriously! I'm sure you won't regret it!

I had three sessions with George, and with each, I felt comfortable, fully supported and understood.. He created a deeply safe environment to help me process and find further ways to work through difficult situations that I had been in, and his Akashic healing insights were spot-on. I feel more grounded, regrouped, and ready to move forward. Thank you, George, for your beautiful energy and support!

Thank you for the fantastic romi romi work. I always thought it was a meant to be a painful form of massage but have learned that is instead a process of ridding the body of pain and negative energy. Your detailed explanation before and after was very welcome and my body feels great! Cheers
