My work is grounded in presence, care, and respect for the body’s natural rhythms. I offer a range of massage and bodywork modalities — including Romiromi, Deep Tissue, and Relaxation massage — each designed to meet different needs while supporting overall balance and wellbeing.

Romiromi is a traditional Māori healing practice that works holistically with the body, mind and spirit. It is more than massage, it is a form of bodywork that supports release, realignment, and restoration on physical, emotional, and energetic levels.
My approach to Romiromi is guided by presence, technique, intuition, and respect for the body’s own wisdom. Sessions are held within traditional protocols, including Kaupare (protective incantation), Tai Wāi (sea water cleanse), and the use of Pounamu, to support safety, grounding, and energetic clarity throughout the work.
Romiromi uses hands-on massage, forearm and elbow pressure on haemata points, and a mix of gentle and deeper stretches. The work follows the body’s natural rhythms of breath and response, inviting it to soften, unwind tension, and move back toward balance. Nothing is forced. The body is listened to, allowing the nervous system to release in its own time.
These sessions can feel grounding, spacious, and deeply restorative. They are especially supportive during times of stress or transition, emotional processing, or when the body is asking to slow down and be heard. They can also support those wishing to work with inherited and ancestral trauma held in the body.
Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue massage is a focused, therapeutic treatment designed to work with chronic tension, muscular restriction, and physical imbalance.
This modality uses slow, deliberate pressure to access deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, supporting the release of long-held tightness and restoring functional movement. Sessions are guided by clear communication, ensuring the work is effective while remaining respectful of your body’s limits.
While the pressure can be firm, the intention is never to force. I work progressively, allowing the tissue to soften and respond, rather than pushing through resistance. This approach supports sustainable relief and reduces the likelihood of post-treatment soreness.
Deep Tissue massage is especially supportive for those with physically demanding work, repetitive strain, injury recovery, or ongoing muscular discomfort.

Relaxation massage is a gentle, flowing treatment designed to calm the nervous system and support deep rest.
Using smooth, rhythmic strokes and steady, nurturing touch, this modality helps the body shift out of stress and into a state of ease. The focus is not on addressing specific problem areas, but on creating a sense of safety, warmth, and whole-body relaxation.
This style of massage is ideal if you are feeling overwhelmed, fatigued, or simply in need of time to slow down. Sessions are unhurried and supportive, offering space to breathe, soften, and reconnect with yourself.
Relaxation massage can be deeply restorative for mental and emotional wellbeing, as well as supportive for sleep, stress reduction, and overall balance.
