A journey to relaxation and insight
Our tinana (body) intricately weaves together physical and emotional experiences, often signalling when it needs rest through discomfort or persistent pain. Every trauma and emotion can leave an imprint on our muscles, creating a complex network of tension that affects our overall hauora (wellbeing).
Do you ever notice stress showing up as headaches or even back pain? The body naturally adapts to pain and movement limitations, often compensating in ways that can influence our overall balance and health over time. Massage therapy provides valuable insights into these signals, helping the body return to its natural state of ease.
Drawing from over 15 years of experience in massage and bodywork, my approach is grounded in presence and intuition. With a foundation in mindful awareness, I aim to not only relieve physical discomfort but also nurture your hauora (wellbeing) - fostering balance and a sense of reconnection.
Together, we will explore your concerns, viewing your body as a guide to uncover and address pain and tension.

What to
expect in your
session
During your session, I use organic oils and apply targeted pressure on tension and trigger points. This technique helps to release contracted muscles, improve flexibility and eliminate toxins and acids from muscle tissues. It supports calming the nervous system, including the vagus nerve, which influences digestive health and overall balance.
Relaxation Massage
Nurture & Restore
Relaxation Massage is a holistic approach that focuses on the whole person, not just tired or sore muscles. It creates a safe, soothing environment where your nervous system can shift into a state of rest and repair. Through calming massage techniques, your tinana (body) naturally activates its own self-healing responses, helping you feel nurtured, balanced, and at ease.
Key Benefits:
-
Encourages deep relaxation and stress relief

Lowers heart rate and blood pressure

Supports digestion and lymphatic flow

Promotes better joint mobility and muscle flexibility

During a Relaxation Massage, I focus on your comfort and ease. My pressure is gentle and flowing, designed to calm your nervous system rather than “work out” knots.
