I’ve lived in Christchurch for most of my life, and before delving into the world of massage my career has been mainly equine related. Although I still have a strong passion for horses, various injuries made me look into the path of helping the body to heal - after noticing first hand how beneficial touch can be. The more I learnt (and continue to learn) about massage the more I appreciate the human body and the stressors it can withstand.

My aim with massage is to give the feel that I like to receive - leaving one feeling that they have been worked on, while also instilling a feeling of relaxation to the body through the tension leaving the muscles.  I use a various techniques including myofascial release, deep tissue work & trigger point release.

When I’m not busy massaging I’m usually found with my dog and a horse or two! With my own horse to ride, and being heavily involved in a local Pony Club - I’m often found out horsing around! 

I have 12 years experience in relaxation therapy and I completed my advanced pregnancy massage training in 2023. Relaxation massage encourages the nervous system to calm, making it wonderful for physical and mental relaxation.

I offer a medium or light pressure massage with a good balance of deep flowing strokes and kneading for tighter areas, along with the aromatic addition of essential oils. I blend my own range of beautiful herbal treatment oils that clients get to experience during a session. These are available to purchase if you should fall in love with them as much as I love making them.

A passion of mine is yoga and in 2018 I trained as a yoga teacher. I enjoy teaching beginners and helping people to implement a safe, beneficial and enjoyable home practice that includes postures, breath exercises, and meditation. I hold a Certificate in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga.

 Originally from the United States, I moved to New Zealand in 1983.I graduated from the College of Natural Medicine in 2003. I previously worked for Halswell physiotherapy and Lincoln Sports Med/Motus. I enjoy working with a variety of different people and believe massage can not only benefit pain or injury, but works to relieve emotional trauma and induce relaxation. 

I am passionate about health and wellbeing and in combination with massage I have developed more knowledge through working with natural supplements and remedies at Health 2000. I live on a 19 acre lifestyle block in the country. I love being outside, tramping, swimming in the ocean, walking the dogs and spending time with friends and family.
