Ko Robyn Pomare Toku Ingoa Uri o hau No Ngapuhi, Te aopouri Ngatikuri He Kainga Noho Ki Kirikiriroa Ko Robyn Pomare tōku ingoa. I hail from the Far North, with strong connections to Hokianga, Ahipara, and Te Hāpua. I was born and raised in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland) and moved to Kirikiriroa in 2021, where I now live. From a young age, I was raised within the rongoā Māori space, guided and nurtured by many mentors who helped grow and strengthen my gifts. Within this space, I offer a range of rongoā practices including Mirimiri, Romiromi, Komiri, Hapūtanga, Fertility Support (for whānau experiencing challenges with conception), and Kōrero āwhina. Alongside my rongoā mahi, I have worked in the health sector for over 25 years across a range of settings. My experience includes: Early intervention services with pēpi and rangatahi, as well as working with kaumātua and kuia within NGO settings. Addiction and mental health services, providing cultural support within Waitematā DHB for 16 years, before transitioning into mainstream services. Since moving to Kirikiriroa in 2021, I have worked within mental health and, for the past three years, in the sexual trauma space (not as an ACC sensitive claims provider). I also walk alongside whānau who are navigating grief, bereavement, and the impacts of whānau suicide. My therapeutic approach is grounded in te ao Māori and a cultural lens, while also being able to work effectively within mainstream contexts. This enables me to support whānau as they navigate complex and often intergenerational challenges, whether current or historical.
