Aroha Healing Fertility Program
Aroha Healing Fertility program
Increase your fertility with Aroha Healing
Usually women suffering from infertility are directed to medical intervention; IVF and hormone injections. While these procedures do work for some, they are extremely costly, invasive, time consuming and can be painful. These procedures are used to treat the symptoms of infertility. Aroha Healing focuses on discovering the root cause of the problem.
The Aroha Healing Fertility program combines unique and powerful ancient spiritual philosophies, holistic methodology, meditation, dynamic bodywork and dance with a modern, earthy twist to assist in increasing your chances of conceiving naturally without invasive intervention. Hawaiian Ka huna massage, Aroha Healing Miri miri creative floor work, Reiki energy healing, herbal consultations & fertility assisting herbs, healing mudras and meditation to release anxiety and focus your intention to conceive, holistic nutritional advice and Bellydance (the ancient spiritual dance of fertility and birthing), allow the systems of the body to swiftly unblock and clear the way both physically and mentally, to support a more balanced & fertile you.
If we focus on the abundance of Mother Nature, there is no part of nature that is infertile. Trees, animals, birdlife, insects, grasses, vegetables and all the creatures that live in nature do not know infertility.
Nature’s intellect has intuitive knowledge of when to seed, when to hibernate and when to mate. Nature & fertility are not all about falling pregnant to create a baby, it is all about recognising that creative intelligence that is deep within the self. Creative intelligence can be defined as innate knowing, loving and feeling our body, connecting with our senses, and then turning to this deep inner wisdom for outward expression.
Within our fertility research at Aroha Healing we have discovered that in many cases infertility can be attributed to scar tissue, obstructions in the fallopian tubes, adhesions, accumulation of toxins, stress and anxiety. Our fertility bodywork and energy healing sessions can address all of these issues at once in a gentle holistic way, and within a caring, supportive environment. We employ ancient and sacred forms of holistic massage methods that can have an amazingly positive effect in the facilitation of conception and help support a healthy pregnancy. We use deep abdominal massage and Reiki energy healing to direct and increase blood flow and circulation to the reproductive area, resulting in enhanced overall health of the reproductive organs, with the intention to conceive. We gently, yet effectively massage & heal obstructions, adhesions and fibrous scar tissue that binds the pelvic organs which could have been caused by past pelvic infections, abdominal surgery, physical trauma or poor digestive flow. We also focus on the mind body connection, with the intention of assisting with the release of fear, anxiety and stress. This focus assists in changing outmoded and unnecessary thought patterns that can affect the body’s natural ability to flow without blockages in energy.
Detoxification of the body is an integral step of the Aroha healing fertility program. The bodywork & Bellydance classes we provide aid in the release of toxins through the stimulation of the lymphatic system. This lymphatic system drains fluids from your body and detoxifies your tissues by filtering out toxins and foreign substances, strengthening the immune system in the process. A sluggish lymphatic system means that the waste disposal process in your body is compromised, and the body suffers from a build-up of stagnant lymph. When lymph circulation stagnates, toxins accumulate impairing cellular function which indirectly affects your ability to conceive.
Aroha Healing Fertility bodywork induces deep relaxation, therefore releasing stress. It is well documented that stress affects the hormonal system to the point of preventing the implantation of the fertilised embryo. By effectively reducing the amount of stress through the Aroha Healing fertility program, we can assist in improving your chances of getting pregnant, and staying pregnant. The journey of falling pregnant can be a highly stressful one and anxiety can block your attempts to conceive as high stress and anxiety levels disrupt the hormonal system, thus affecting ovulation timing, cervical mucus production, and implantation in women, along with sperm quality and count in men. Aroha Healing fertility programs are designed specifically to not only to increase the flow of blood to the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes, but also to increase a sense of well being, whilst strengthening the immune system, stimulation and balance of the production of hormones, along with the improved health of the lymphatic system. The result of putting the above into practice is a dramatically increased chance of conceiving a baby!

The power of Touch
This element of the Aroha Healing Fertility program is incorporating regular, specific, dynamic and energetic bodywork sessions into your weekly regime; Hawaiian Ka huna massage, Miri miri (traditional Maori massage) & creative floor work, and Reiki energy healing – 4 hands (2 practitioners). These carefully chosen massages are powerful in their own right, delivery and technique, however they are also non-invasive, alternative therapies that involve full energetic body work in different forms, utilising a fusion of ancient and modern techniques. This element focuses on promoting general wellbeing and relaxation but most importantly decreasing scarring, pelvic adhesions, tubal obstruction and increasing the blood and energy flow as well as improving the function of the reproductive organs and awakening the flow of the lower chakras (energy centres).
Aroha Healing massage therapy to promote fertility is focused and applied to help treat Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, blocked fallopian tubes, ovarian cysts and other medical conditions that can cause low fertility in women.
We also offer Aroha Healing massage therapy programs for men with low fertility issues.
Hawaiian Ka huna massage
To try and define Ka Huna massage is like trying to describe what a flower looks smells and feels like to some who has never seen one before. You can only ever really ‘know’ by the experience of holding a flower in your hands and breathing in it lush fragrances and being in awe at its magical beauty. Like the essence of a flower, Ka Huna is beyond words, and in that moment of giving and receiving it is beyond being and non-being, pure love. It is a celebration of our humanity; it is the massage of life.
The Hawaiian people view all aspects of the body as one, believing that the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual are all part of the ‘whole self’. What makes Ka Huna massage such a very special style is its combination of movement, dance, rhythm, breath, energy and massage. The practitioner is in constant movement around the massage table, following specific patterns of foot placement and body posture. The arms sweep over the body in long, flowing movements to the pulse of music, creating a very fluid and rhythmical massage, like a bird flying through the sky.
Another characteristic of Ka Huna is the application of flowing strokes using forearms, elbows as well as two hands combining body draining, soft and deep tissue massage, under body massage, and energy balancing to form very dynamic and transformational bodywork, perfect for enhancing fertility.
Ka Huna Bodywork explores: the Huna Philosophy: The seven principles of Huna
- Ike Means ‘to see, know, feel, perceive, be aware, understand’ The world is what you think it is
- Kala means ‘to loosed, untie, free, release, forgive’ There are no limits
- Mākia means ‘aim, purpose, to aim or strive for, to concentrate on’ Energy Flows where attention goes
- Manawa means ‘time, season, affections, feelings’ Now is the moment of power
- Aloha means “love, affection, compassion, sympathy, kindness, charity” and so much more To love is to be happy with
- Mana means ‘supernatural or divine power, miraculous power, authority, power’ All power comes from within
- Pono, the word representing the last principle, means goodness, moral qualities, correct or proper procedure, excellence, wellbeing, prosperity, success, assets, use, purpose’ Effectiveness is the measure of truth or Truth is measured by results
Ka Huna bodywork also explores Hawaiian breathing and male/female energy balance. It emphasizes the importance of intent, focus, belief systems, movement and dance within the massage. This is the massage of Life!
Miri Miri
Miri miri is the traditional holistic healing tradition or massage technique of Maori, the indigenous people of Aotearoa / New Zealand. Miri miri is steeped in Maori customs and culture, encompassing whanau ora (family health), tinana ora (physical health), hinengaro ora (mental health), and wairua ora (spiritual health). Maori culture is thought to have originated from the Pacific Ocean, with links to languages from both Tahitian and Hawaiian cultures, and is associated and inspired by nature. Miri miri is a holistic tradition used for healing the physical, emotional and spiritual elements of ourselves, as opposed to Western traditions, which primarily focus on the physical.
Practitioners follow in the footsteps of their ancestors, following a tradition that dates back hundreds of years, whilst evolving the technique to embrace our modern society.
The massage dance is preceded by karakia (traditional prayer), followed by rhythmic, therapeutic massage strokes inspired by the natural flow of nature and the ocean. Practitioners will use gentle breathing techniques to allow for the transfer of energy to the recipient, resulting in a more balanced, therapeutic and deeply relaxing experience.
Reiki and Fertility
Many couples who suffer from unexplained infertility are told they need to find ways to reduce stress. Stress and anxiety contribute to the normal bodily functions. Men suffer from low sperm count due to stress and a women’s ovulation process can be greatly affected as the result of a stressful lifestyle. We live in a very stressful society, where we are pushed to succeed in life as high achievers, yet we are not taught how to relax and bring balance into our busy lives.
One natural fertility treatment that is increasingly rising in popularity is Reiki. Using Reiki as a natural fertility method can improve your chances of getting pregnant through maximising and promoting optimal wellbeing & health within the body, including reproductive health.
In addition to promoting optimal preconception health, Reiki healing can also help to enhance excellent prenatal health. Studies have found that regular Reiki healing sessions reduced stress and discomfort during pregnancy.
Reiki assists to improve and raise energy levels, boost the immune system, reduce stress, reduce pain, help with anxiety, and detoxify the body.
Reiki Treatment
Reiki is a simple, yet very effective form of healing that consists of the Reiki practitioner placing his or her hands on the client’s body (over the clothes) with the intention of promoting relaxation. The practitioner has been attuned to the Reiki energy (Universal Life Energy). The role of the practitioner is to channel this energy into the body of the client eliciting a healing response.
When you receive a Reiki treatment for infertility, the Reiki practitioner will focus on balancing the energy fields within the body known as the Chakras. Chakra activation and unblocking of stagnant energy flow can be intense and energising, yet calming for the recipient. Applied Reiki treatment will allow energy to flow freely throughout the body; the flow of fertility is enhanced and intensified for the recipient.
Aroha Healing incorporates 4 handed Reiki (2 practitioners) and Reiki facial & head therapies into our Fertility program.
Aroha Healing Creative Floor work
Aimed at stimulating and increasing energy flow throughout the entire body, our creative floor work incorporates lessons in everyday movements you can do at home. Our practitioners are hands on in stretching, balancing and moving your body into a variety of poses. A little like yoga with the benefit of your teacher actively assisting you to achieve the most beneficial pose or health inducing stretch.
Healing Mudras to help promote Fertility
Healing mudras or yoga for the hands are sacred hand gestures that provide us with efficient, powerful ancient techniques for our busy modern lives. Mudra is a Sanskrit word and in ancient times were an irreplaceable aspect of yoga practice. There are Indian texts which explain how mudras are an ancient science that have been used for thousands of years to restore health. Mudras are literally health in your hands. Our thumbs, fingers and the palms of our hands are constantly emitting electromagnetic currents of energy and by creating certain postures with your hands, fingers and thumbs, allow us to open up energy channels to encourage flow and healing. Mudras are known to connect you with your sacred powers, and freeing them for your use every day. All you have to do is learn how to activate one function at a time to allow the discovery of new ways to program your mind and body to achieve your full potential. Aroha Healing Fertility program utilises the following teachings of specific Mudras to promote stress free wellbeing and happiness. You will learn the following Mudras that are best suited to how you are feeling.
- Mudra for developing meditation
- Mudra for patience
- Mudra for fertility
- Mudra for Happiness
- Mudra for protecting your health
- Mudra for feeling your energy body
- Mudra for balancing sexual energy
- Mudra for overcoming anxiety
- Mudra for calming the mind
Bellydance
An essential facet of the Aroha Healing Fertility program is cultural dance. Bellydance originated thousands of years ago as a fertility rite. The strongest energy that can be formed within the body is sexual energy. The movements that awaken sexual energy flow most intensely are the hip circling, bouncing, tilting and vibrating motions of the hips and pelvis, as well as the contractions of the abdominal area – all part of Bellydancing.
Bellydance is an expressive, dynamic art form that requires a special kind of mastery that relies on intuitive awareness, movement, balance and spatial geometry. Although dance presents itself as a physical art, it brings out emotive response through the body’s articulation of the music. On an emotional level it is liberating, uplifting and helps the dancer experience instinctive rhythmic patterns and feelings. Since its days as an ancient fertility rite, Bellydancing directly supports sexual and sensual function of a woman’s body. It improves all aspects of her life: fitness and hormonal re-balancing, confidence and communication, sensual expression, and dynamic living.
Bellydance can reduce fibroids. Belly dancing is fun and dynamic, a great form of exercise, sexy and evidently can be a fibroid shifting exercise. It’s no accident that it originally developed as a fertility ritual. If we think of fibroids the way holistic medicine practitioners do; as the result of stagnant energy in the pelvic area - what better way to unblock that stagnant energy than to shake your hips vigorously!
You can dance your way to fertility! We teach a fun, easy to follow, effective weekly Bellydance fitness class in Ponsonby & Grey Lynn. As a part of the Aroha Healing Fertility program it is essential to attend Bellydance class at least once a week and if you miss a class and would like a one on one session, or with a Bellydance fitness session with a few friends we can easily arrange this for you.
History of Bellydance for Fertility and Birth
In ancient times the moon had great influence on the feminine cycle and women gathered for rituals once a month. These blood and fertility rituals happened mostly during the night, to the exclusion of men and places chosen for the rituals were specifically elevated and usually on hilltops. The hills symbolised the feminine, as they rise gently above the earth, like the belly. It was on top of the hills, on the navel of the earth that the women of these primitive societies danced. Their dances revolved around fertility and therefore the belly played a major part. The dance was performed to strengthen sexual energy, open the lower chakras and to awaken joy, and to praise the mysteries of life. The women danced their dance, a dance that ultimately corresponded to their body and expressed all the feelings, moods, longings, sufferings and joys of being a woman. Through their dance, they harmonised with the universe. No other dance can express this more clearly and passionately than Bellydance. It is considered the oldest dance in the whole of civilisation, traditionally performed for other women and often during fertility rites. In essence, bellydancing is a celebration of femininity, life and is a fertility dance, which enhances a woman’s ability to conceive, and also helps her to give life to a robust and healthy child.
A woman’s body is strengthened by Bellydance and the rolling circular movements and figure-eight’s are good preparation for childbirth. The rolling movements not only feel natural but assist with the normal pelvic relaxing process to prepare for birth, and at the same time help firm the pelvic muscles for labour and post-pregnancy recovery. Pregnant mothers agree that bellydancing relieves back pain and keeps the body supple. Births are reported to be much easier, relaxed births with the ‘Bellydance baby’. Bellydancing, fertility & childbirth have been intricately linked for thousands of years, from the days of ancient female deity worship to tribal fertility ceremony and existing birthing customs in Arabian villages. Celebrating the miracle of fertility & birth with its original dance reflects gratitude and praise for the creation of life.
