Mauri Tui Tuia offers empowering, tailored, and practical workshops, courses, creative therapy sessions and classroom visits. Grounded in bicultural practice as active partners to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, we are focused on sustainably building resilience and maintaining wellbeing for kaiako, tamariki, whānau, and therapy professionals.
Our team of registered arts, dance movement and music therapists work throughout Tai Tokerau and Tāmaki Makaurau.
Our therapeutic team includes leaders from music therapy, dance movement therapy and arts therapy. Mauri Tui Tuia was founded by Jan McConnell (Registered Dance and Arts Therapist, Physiotherapist) and Katie Pureti (Registered Music Therapist).
Understanding neuro-biology and the instinctive knowledge of our bodies and voices helps us move toward calm connection. Te Whare Tapa Whā underpins our bicultural practice model, and tuakana-teina supports the sharing of knowledge and leadership between the facilitators and the participants. These tools have life-long application to create sustainable benefit and wellbeing for kaiako, tamariki and whānau.
COMING SOON 2023 – Rooted in the meeting place of creativity, movement, sound and wellbeing, each episode is an honest kōrero (conversation) between creative therapists Jan and Katie, and the unsung Kiwi heroes of education, therapy, art/dance/music. Join us on Mauri Tui Tuia, the podcast, to learn how to better your life and develop calm connection as a teacher, therapist, creative, or parent.
