ConTact CARE Auckland ConTact CARE offers a gentle, hands-on approach for effectively relieving pain and discomfort in both people and animals.

Experience natural relief with Stephanie Gaia, based in West Auckland. I'm Stephanie, a ConTact C.A.R.E Practitioner based in West Auckland. My passion lies in relieving pain, aches, and supporting the recovery of both body and mind through the ConTact CARE approach. Using gentle, natural bodywork inspired by the observation of horses in the natural world, I facilitate the release of trapped body shock and facilitate the unwinding process until a complete resolution is possible.

The body keeps the score 🦴

ConTact C.A.R.E offers a gentle yet powerful way to read your body’s unique story. Through my hands, I listen to your living skeleton—feeling where the body has held on after injury, strain, or shock.

These areas often carry a kind of inertia… a quiet contraction, a stillness in the tissues around the bones. With a precise and grounded approach learned through my training, I work with these patterns—inviting them to release and shift.

Often, clients feel a change straight away: a return of spring, movement, ease… that sense of space coming back into the body.

Each session focuses on one area or specific issue. Sometimes one session is enough to create a meaningful shift. Other times, a series of sessions supports the body more deeply—especially with more complex injuries or long-held patterns.

The Oratia ConTact C.A.R.E clinic is now open, with appointments available Monday to Friday 🌿

🏮 Happy Lunar New Year 🏮

May this new year bring you flow, balance, ease & renewed vitality. As we step into a fresh cycle, it’s a beautiful time to release old tension patterns and allow the body to reset — you don’t want to be left behind your horse!

To me, ConTact C.A.R.E Flinchlock Release is simply put "horse medicine". Horses taught us this sacred work, and it is a true privilege to carry and share this natural medicine wherever I go.

I look forward to supporting more of you this year. May the Horse be with you 🐎❤️ ✨

🌿 New Tai Chi Class in Oratia – with Fabian Low ☯️

Are you living out West? Are you wanting to cultivate more mindfulness, calm, and flow this year or try out new things?
You might be interested in discovering the fundamentals of Tai Chi and Qi Gong.

I’m really happy to share that Fabian Low is starting a new Tai Chi class in Oratia. Many of you know how much I value gentle, intelligent movement that supports the nervous system, balance, and long-term wellbeing — this offering aligns beautifully with that philosophy.

Fabian has been teaching Tai Chi for nearly 10 years and his classes are endorsed by ACC – Living Stronger for Longer, making them open to all, and especially suitable for beginners. No prior experience needed.

Tai Chi is a calm, mindful practice that supports balance, coordination, circulation, and mental focus. Classes are taught in a relaxed, non-performative way, beginning with simple Qi Gong and progressing at a pace that suits each person.

🗓 Thursdays from 19th February

Here’s a little ConTact C.A.R.E truth I love sharing…

The method was first developed with animals — horses, cows, sheep 🐴🐄🐑
And that was very intentional.

Animals don’t pretend.
They don’t try to be “good clients,” they don’t arrive with expectations, and they can’t be influenced by suggestions.
Their bodies simply respond honestly… or not.

Working with animals allowed the method to grow from real, tangible changes — things we can actually feel under our hands:
pressure shifts, frozen reactions to touch… instinctive movement away from pain, natural search for ease and comfort position… instant, accurate feedback.
All of it completely free from the placebo effect.

And because ConTact C.A.R.E depends on that genuine, physical response, it can only happen in person.
This work is hands-on, grounded in presence and safety — which is why I don’t offer “remote” or Zoom sessions. My hands need to listen, for you to get results!
Real contact. Real ease.

✨ That’s the heart of it for me:
ConTact C.A.R.E — a Commonsense Approach to Real Ease.

🦴 You were born with around 270 bones!
As you grow, some fuse together — leaving 206 bones in the adult skeleton, all working as a team to support your every move.

From your first steps to your morning stretch, your skeleton is constantly adapting & balancing.

But when a bone gets hurt by surprise, it can hold on to the shock instead of releasing it — becoming “flinchlocked,” frozen in a startle-flinch pattern.
These flinchlocked bones overwrite normal function, and the rest of the body has to compensate to keep you moving.
That’s when your natural bounce and flow start to fade.

Through ConTact C.A.R.E Flinchlock Release, I help locate and release those locked bones so your body can move freely again — light, balanced, and at ease.

✨ Your skeleton knows how to move as one — sometimes it just needs a little reminder.

We had such an amazing ConTact C.A.R.E Foundation weekend — full of learning, laughter, good vibes, and good food! 💛

It’s so exciting to see ConTact C.A.R.E growing within our French and French Polynesian community. A proud moment, too, seeing the French Manuals taking shape after so much work to keep the original teachings and wording true to their essence and nature. 🌿

I’d also like to take a moment to acknowledge Simon Wright for leading the course and transmitting the original teachings with such care and dedication, and to say a big thank you to Vicky, Nadiene, and Sharleen for holding space and supporting the students throughout the weekend. 🙏✨

Merci Merci Merci 💙🤍❤️
