Massage

A thoughtful, considered and brilliant executed massage. Thanks Catherine! 

Catherine is very thorough & does great work

A very relaxing wonderful massage. Thank you. 

After a few days of gardening Catherine released the muscle tension in my shoulder and right leg. Thanks for freeing up my aging body yet again. 

Great Catherine is continuing to give me treatment that puts me in a great space😊👍

Whether you are seeking relief from discomfort, tension or pain, or needing to destress and unwind, a therapeutic/relaxation massage will help address your needs.  At the beginning of the appointment we will discuss what you are wanting to address and plan the best way to do this within the session.  Therapeutic/Relaxation massage uses firm slow strokes to relieve muscle tension.  At times I may move your limbs to enhance the stretch and movement of a particular muscle.

Post natal massage offers relief from tension created by feeding and caring for your baby, as well as helping your body recover from the birthing process.  It is common to experience back, neck and shoulder pain from the amount of time spent holding and feeding your baby.   It is also common to experience low back and pelvis pain as your body readjusts to it previous posture and your tendons, ligaments and muscles realign themselves.  Post Natal massage is safe from birth but if you are still under your midwife's care please seek approval from her before booking. It is preferable for you to leave your baby at home in someone else's care however, if this is not possible you are welcome to bring them in a car seat freshly fed and changed so that they will hopefully sleep!   Initial session includes a thorough assessment so is 15 mins longer.  Massage can be tailored to your needs.  I consider the post natal period to be up to 3 months post birth.

Pregnancy & Post Natal Massage

Do you love having your feet massaged or need to get your feet ready for summer? The Foot Ritual starts with your feet in a foot spa with some magnesium bath salts from Tildy & Co to help clean, relax and soften the skin.  I then use a sugar and coffee scrub from Lisa Goodeve 100% Natural Skincare to smooth the skin and apply Lisa's Nourishing Body Butter for a dedicated foot massage.  Afterwards your feet will feel soft, hydrated and ready to go.  I like to start your session with the Foot Ritual to allow lots of time for your skin to soak in the body balm to ensure they really benefit from the extra moisture.  Add this service to  your massage for a luxurious treat - go on your deserve it. To learn more about Lisa Goodeve's local, natural and organic skincare range check her out at www.lisagoodeve.co.nz

Face and Scalp Massage

Abdominal massage can be deeply soothing but mentally and physically as we often hold a lot of stress, anxiety and emotion in our stomachs.  Abdominal massage is gentle and can help to relax the muscles, fascia and connective tissue of he abdominal cavity and surrounding organs.  It can also help with digestion and bloating.  There is a large amount of lymph nodes in the stomach and massage can help promote drainage of this part of the lymphatic system.

Abdominal Massage

Do you have tired or sore hands? We use our hands and fingers all day every day so why not treat them to a dedicated massage.  Add this 15 minute hand massage to your massage to help them relax and ease tension.  I use either massage balm or Lisa Goodeve's Nourishing Body Butter.

Hand massage

Love a foot massage?  Suffer from painful or tired feet? Add this to your massage for a dedicated 15 minute foot massage using either massage balm or Lisa Goodeve's Nourishing Body Butter.
