Kia ora
I am Jerome Timu,
My earliest memories as a young Māori boy were visiting my beautiful great grandfather poppa charlie in his home, it was always a safe and loving space.
When you entered the front door the room was filled with a smokey haze.

A combination of incense and tobacco smoke. You would find poppa charlie laying down with my pa's hands over him. I was always encouraged and invited into the space to participate in the healings. Pa would guide my hands across his father's body. I would feel the energy in the space between my hands and him. Pa would kneel by his side with his eyes closed and he would chant incantations. Poppa charlie would moan and I would see entities rising from body.
Speaking to them about this we all realised I too shared this same gift, passed down through each generation.

Just because you have a gift doesn’t mean bad things don’t happen and your life is stable.

Mine was filled with domestic violence, homelessness and sexual abuse.

I recall being sexually abused by a neighbour, as well as by someone within the home.
At the age of 7 me and my 15 year old brother were left homeless as our mother was incarcerated.

When my mother was released, we all fled to Australia
Not long after, my mother started using her psychic gifts to help people. There were hundreds maybe thousands over the years. I would often be listening to her speak with them knowing what she would say before she spoke to her clients.

It was as if I was receiving the same messages she was.
Eventually I would work with my mother, healing those that came to see her.
This was a big moment for my mother, as she struggled with her mental illnesses.
Somehow, I knew it wouldn't last though.
When my mother hit her lows, it was up to me to take care of her, she would stoop into severe depression, suicidal thoughts would start, followed by paranoia and aggressive behaviour.

I have tried to do other lines of work, but each time I do everything seems to fall apart. Life in general goes off the rails so to speak. I have had cancer during a job change, I’ve fallen 6 metres from a balcony, I’ve had my appendix come close to rupturing in another.
Then there was the time that my whole body gave in and I used a wheelchair for a good portion of time.
Its as if my nannies were up above giving me a stern talking to
When I return to my natural ability, life operates in complete synchronicity

I have been doing this work for as long as I can remember and have been able to guide so many already through their own traumas, mental ilnesses and sickness as they are something I have grown up watching, going through and supporting my whole life.
I have supported this by enrolling in and completing mental health first aid, diploma of counselling and have completed my RomiRomi and MiriMiri practitioner course.
