Hi, I’m Maria, a registered therapist with Massage New Zealand with 5 years of experience in the industry. I’m currently one year into studying remedial massage therapy, having recently completed modules in massage for pathology, massage for physical performance, and neuromuscular therapy.
I am passionate about helping clients achieve their goals through a variety of massage applications paired with tailored home care.
I have experience in both mobile/in-office massage and working in a luxury spa setting. I pride myself on being accommodating, punctual, and professional, delivering an exceptional and relaxing treatment.
For those seeking to enhance the more active part of their life, I offer sports massage, deep tissue massage, and performance-enhancing massage. With these, it’s all about helping your body tissues relax, repair, and heal in an optimal manner (more details are available when directed to the booking platform). I provide a calm, safe, and relaxing practice so that you can relax, unwind, and enjoy your hands-on massage.
I was born and raised in Japan and have worked as a massage therapist since 2019. I have completed the study of Japanese Seitai (meaning “balanced body”), which is a Japanese therapeutic massage that focuses on healing the body holistically. This has been effective in treating tension and discomfort which has earned me a loyal following.
I have also been formerly trained in reflexology and Shiatsu. Reflexology is treating the body through a detailed map on the feet which has links to energy pathways throughout the body. Shiatsu is a dry massage without oil which involves stretching the body and addressing ailments through pressure points and rolling techniques.
I have gravitated naturally to massage as I have always taken pleasure in healing & caring for people. I believe putting hands on someone’s skin or body can reduce pain and can calm the mind. I have a degree in psychology too which aids my understanding between the mind-body connection. Many of my clients say I have healing hands. I specialise in deep tissue, shiatsu, reflexology and relaxation massage.
Ask me about Shiatsu massage and if you’re interested in Japanese culture!
