Massage therapy has always felt like what I'm made for. Helping women to let go of the demands of their lives to make time for themselves; to breathe and regain their equilibrium.

Through massage I am inspired to help women cope better with the ups and downs of life - balancing roles in the workplace, caring for children or ageing parents, and managing health and relationship challenges. I also support women through big life events such as a wedding or the arrival of a newborn which, though joyous, can produce their own stresses.

As a working woman with a husband and daughter and a busy life, I know only too well how important it is to commit to self-care, to find ways to unwind and recharge. Experience tells me that a highly effective way of doing this is through receiving regular massage therapy at the hands of a trained professional.

As women we often give out more than we receive. A restorative massage can redress this imbalance and replenish the soul. It is such a privilege and a pleasure to help women achieve a sense of wellbeing through regular therapeutic massage. I believe that we are created to respond to touch that is safe, nurturing and affirming. The restorative power of massage is confirmed to me again and again by the women who come to me for regular treatments.

I discovered the joys and benefits of massage many years ago. I was so impressed by the positive impacts of receiving regular massage, I realised that's where my heart lay, and was prompted to gain a Diploma in Therapeutic Massage, studying at Wellpark College of Natural Therapies in Auckland. I graduated with merit in 2001 and taught for several years at the New Zealand College of Massage. I now devote my time to my private practice which I’ve had for over 20 years.

My wonderful clients think of massage as a necessity rather than a luxury. They see it as a tonic that gives them a break from their crowded schedules and the feeling of always being on the run. They stop. They set aside time for themselves. No phones, no interruptions, no demands. Under my trained and skillful hands, the tension in their body melts away. Negative self-talk and nagging thoughts dissipate. As anxiety and stress, aches and pain gradually lift, a freer self emerges. As they arrive in this place of calm, they feel refreshed and rejuvenated, ready to function when they step back into their lives again.

I look forward to offering you massage therapy tailored just for you in the serene and private setting of my massage space.
