Accepting New Clients ABOUT
Murray Hemi
Murray is from a small Māori community, Pāpāwai, where he listened and learnt stories from his kaumatua (elders). He completed Hakomi training in 2018 and is a Certified Hakomi Therapist and Hakomi teacher (Aotearoa-New Zealand based). He runs individual therapy sessions for men and has spent many years facilitating men’s groups, teaching yoga in prison, and running men’s community yoga (Bro-ga). Having worked with hundreds of men of all backgrounds and over many years, he approaches his work a compassion and wisdom gained from his own experience.
Personal integrity, simplicity, honesty, and clarity are his foundations in life and in service to others.
He is passionate about working with men and supporting them to remember the beauty, kindness and ‘lightness’ that resides within. This involves two key approaches:
Courage (from the heart) that supports self-expression and conversations that redeem and reclaim the healthy male spirit;
Whole-heartedness that provides pathways to understanding, openness, honesty, self-expression, and positive communication.
His particular areas of interest are trauma, violence, and anger.
He has a strong mātauranga (indigenous wisdom) background and understands many of the synergies between traditional wisdom and Hakomi practice.
