Warning Long Post: re Introduction to My business, Us and our life.
Body Therapy Massage Clinic is an owner/operated business. I am a NZQA trained therapist in NZQA Level 6 Remedial Massage and NZQA Level 5 Relaxation and Wellness. I trained for 3 years through SIT in Invercargill, I am trained as a FAIR rugby medic,and currently hold World Rugby Concussion Certificates. I am a Clinically trained therapist, with knowledge in all aspects of remedial Massage and it's application. From anatomy to physiology, pathology to sports training and conditioning, I can assess each client and come up with treatment, at home care and also help point you in the right direction if it falls outside my scope of practice. Located within the beautiful Te Pou O Mata Au facility, Level 1 down by the lift. I am Southern Cross accredited, Massage Aeoteroa New Zealand registered.
I am married to Nathan and we have 3 children, we are on the family farm and we also have a hay, balage and agri contracting business with my husband's brother. 1 son is home on farm working alongside us, 1 is contracting in Southland for another company and our youngest is just starting her working life. We are a busy family, but still enjoy life together.
I enjoy many hobbies and passions, Most will know me or hear me on the sidelines of rugby or in a swimming pool, I also enjoy cricket and watching whatever my children choose to do. I craft, enjoy spending time with friends when we can and find myself trying to say No but doesn't happen very often. We enjoy family vacations, slowing down the pace a bit and some warmer weather.
Opening this business nearly 3 years ago was a risk I was skeptical of. I viewed what I did as a luxury, something people would only do as a one off, it surprised me to learn how many people really got the ethos behind wellness, how we can help in the allied health roles and what we do for our clients. It certainly has been a learning curve with amazing experience. Helping clients through their pain/tension journey and allowing clients the freedom to get back parts of their life they thought were gone forever. This is why I do what I do. Having the knowledge based training to clinical assess and form treatments for clients based on their own journey is truely the most under estimated part of my role. This is the part I really enjoy and the part I love to impart on my clients as they transition into everyday life again without the symptoms, pain, fear and low esteem. Remedial Massage Therapy is a very underrated health modility, don't take my word for it. Try it yourself!
Thank you to all my clients for the privilege to help you.
