Awaken Massage & Holistic Healing, Christchurch (2026)

What we resist, persists.

You know when you have a job to do and you ignore it, put it off, put it in the too hard basket and then when you finally do it you feel a massive relief?

It’s the same with our emotions.
If you know you feel angry, sad, worried, anything! but you refuse to acknowledge it.. it festers. It starts feeling bigger, more acute until you either explode, get sick or completely shut down under the pressure.

All emotions are valid and everyone feels different things for different reasons, the best thing you can do for yourself? Acknowledge them.

“I feel so angry right now.”
“I am so upset…” if you can say “… because of…” even better.

This isn’t to solve the problem coz some things we are emotional about can’t be fixed in the moment but just by giving your feeling a voice can reduce the impact it’s having on you mentally, physically and emotionally.

What we resist, persists.

Next time you feel something you’re trying to pretend like is not there.. try this and see how much lighter you feel after.

It won’t fix the problem but it will allow you to be freed from feelings that are completely allowed to be alive inside you 💚

A client said to me after an intuitive massage the other day that one of the things they love most about receiving from me is how in tune I am with where their body is at.
Physically, energetically, and emotionally.

Sometimes we receive a massage and leave thinking, “I wish they stayed on that spot a little longer,” or “I wish they’d gone a bit deeper,” or simply slowed down more.
Sometimes there’s just a subtle feeling of disconnect. Like the person is just going through the motions rather than being fully present.

I’m not saying those massages are bad or not beneficial at all. I just know, both personally and from the feedback I receive from clients, that genuine connection is one of the most healing parts of the whole experience.

To feel safe enough to truly relax and let go because every part of your body, mind, and soul feels seen, listened to, and cared for.

Even people who come purely for deep tissue work, who may not consciously notice this difference in attention absolutely feel the benefit of it.

There is so much more to massage than simply manipulating muscles. Yes that is a massive part of it, of course! However, tending to the nervous system is also equally important.

Trying to release tension and knots from a body that is subconsciously bracing for danger, judgement, stress, or holding onto past injuries and emotional experiences can be quite difficult. We may create temporary relief on the day, but lasting change is harder when the nervous system doesn’t feel safe.

This isn’t about “woo woo” concepts or abstract ideas. It’s about biology.
Thankfully, science is continuing to deepen our understanding of the nervous system and the vital role it plays in how tension, pain, stress, and imbalance show up in the body.

I’ve trained in multiple different techniques, which I intuitively combine depending on what you need most in the moment to support you in becoming your best.

The body is always striving for balance.
Sometimes it just needs the right support, space, and care to unwind, recalibrate, and return to its natural state of equilibrium ✨

I had the most incredible weekend at the 2nd All That She Touches retreat in Hororata over the weekend.

4 practitioners offering different 1:1 modalities, a clothing swap and multiple workshops that expanded and awakened parts of the soul that may have never been acknowledged until that moment…. HOW GOOD!!!!
Aswell as the amazing location surrounded by silence and nature and the delicious food we were served 🤤 it really couldn’t have been any better 🥰

Over 40 incredible women attended and it was such an honour to hold space for and witness the transformations that occurred within them over the 3 days we spent together.

I had the pleasure of treating 11 of them to an intuitive massage and energy healing as well as holding a workshop on Transforming DNA Memories on Saturday arvo 😇🙌🏻

Red Tent Aotearoa is such a safe, supportive space for any woman looking to be seen, accepted and celebrated for all that they are and all that they are becoming.
I highly recommend following their page and coming along to their events.
It could just change your life 🥰🫶🏻

✨ 2026-2027 Offerings ✨

- Firstly, Time based bookings 🥳

If you know what you want.. Great! If you’re unsure, let’s customise it on the day.

So many people come to me not even knowing what they want or need so this allows for a perfectly curated experience that meets you where you are to get you the best possible outcomes.
No extra charge. All inclusive. Easy 😌👌🏻

- Secondly, the Kinesiology treatments.

These are specific protocols that help you identify, understand and release what may be holding you back from being your best.

Step one is using kinesiology (muscle testing) to communicate with your subconscious to find out what outdated beliefs may be keeping you stuck in reoccurring patterns.

Once we have identified the priority issues I guide you through a deep meditation process that allows your subconscious to release the programming and rewire itself so the issue/s no longer have an effect on you.

This work is absolutely transformational.
Anyone who is interested In personal development and freeing themselves from the things they may not even be aware of… these sessions are for you.

- Thirdly, intuitive guidance.
I am not a coach. I am not a councillor. (Although some people have said I should be 😅)

What I can offer is my honest opinions and reflections based on what I feel through you.
A safe space for you to share and be witnessed in whatever thoughts and feelings you may have without the fear of judgment.

Everyone has the answers within them that they seek.
I help you uncover them so you can feel empowered, clear and trusting of your own inner compass.

Healing doesn’t have to be hard.
It’s about finding what works for you 🫶🏻

For any questions or to book in, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Being able to help support people return to balance within their body is one of the biggest things that bring me joy.

We all do things for work and play in our lives that lead us to having imbalances and issues that hinder us from being able to live freely and at ease.

Over the last 6 years I’ve trained in multiple different massage techniques including Deep Tissue, Relaxation, Meridian Rebalancing & Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Pregnancy massage.

I’ve also trained in multiple different energy healing modalities, honing my own intuitive gifts of being able to feel what may be going on within another.

Combing all of those skills along side understanding the nervous system and the effect it has on our physical body means that every single massage is completely unique and tailored to exactly what you need on the day.

Massage, to me, is an art form.
I don’t follow a one-size-fits-all approach.
I assess, feel, and listen to your body, allowing it to guide me to what it needs and where.

Over the last few years I’ve worked with all kinds of people.
Farmers, CEOs, athletes, mums, strong men, body builders, office workers, and everyone inbetween… it does not matter to me what you do or who you are.

In a world that asks us to constantly keep going, giving yourself even an hour to pause, release, and receive support can make all the difference.

To let it all go so you can return to life with more energy, enthusiasm, connection and comfort.

That’s what I’m here for 🥰

If you’re interested in learning more or to book in a session with me please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Hi Everyone!!

It’s been such a long time since I shared anything because I’ve been recovering from a very inconvenient injury.. tennis elbow 🥴😅
I’m good to go again now though so thought I’d share some updates 🤗

While I’ve been away I’ve completed a 7 day lymphatic drainage massage course that includes meridian activations to help balance and reactivate your body’s optimal flow and let me tell you… WOW! 🤯
The results I got in my own body was nothing short of miraculous.
I didn’t even know I was so swollen until I wasn’t!

I am now offering this as a treatment which I will add to my list once I’ve updated it but in the meantime if you’re interested please don’t hesitate to reach out.

I am now also offering travelling massages and sound healing for events 🥳 think birthday parties, girls nights, weekend relaxation or whatever else you have planned and are looking for something unique and restorative ✨
Again, if you’re interested please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Another very exciting thing I have coming up is the All That She Touches - Weave The Future Golden retreat hosted by Red Tent Aotearoa in Hororata from the 1-3 May.
I’ll be there offering intuitive massage and energy healing aswell as holding a workshop on transforming trauma.

It’s gonna be an absolutely epic weekend with many other incredible women working their magic and holding life changing workshops over the whole weekend.

If last year was anything to go by then this year will be equally if not more inspiring, connecting and transformative for everyone who attends 🥰 only 3 tickets remain and you only have till this Friday to book your spot! I highly HIGHLY recommend 💚

The time has also come for me to update some things as I have evolved so much over the last year which means my business needs to aswell. Keep an eye out for some small but necessary improvements to my page over the coming weeks 😇

It’s SO good to be back and I can’t wait to connect and reconnect with all of you 🥹😍🙌🏻

The process of making this medicine drum was an initiation, an invitation to become aware of deeper levels of consciousness. It was beautiful. It was expansive. It was perfect. I can’t wait to share its medicine with those who need it 🫶🏻

“I didn’t even know I had a problem there!”

“Thank you for nurturing me.”

“That was amazing.”

The 3 things I hear the most after giving a massage 🥰

Even though most of the massages I do are deeper tissue ones, I absolutely love having clients that just need some love and kindness.

Being able to adapt and intuitively read your body and energy to give you what you need (as well as communicating what it is you’d like) is one of my favourite parts of what I do.

Every client is different.
Every day is different.
Every massage is different.

And that’s how it should be ✨

Do you know what’s good?!
👉🏻 Not having a sore back.
👉🏻 Not getting headaches or migraines.
👉🏻 Being able to move freely without restriction or fear of pain.

Pain is not a personality trait. It’s a symptom.
A signal. A message from your body that something deeper is going on.

My approach to massage is intuitive and therapeutic. Blending deep tissue techniques with nervous system awareness. Tuning into your body’s signals, applying the right kind of pressure at the right pace.. and in the right place! While also doing it in a space where your system feels safe enough to let go.

You don’t deserve to live life constantly battling through discomfort, thinking there’s no hope of improvement.
Trust me.
I’ve had many people lie on my table telling me they’re “f*cked” (their words not mine) and they always leave feeling better than they ever thought was possible.

You are not broken. And it’s not “just the way things are.”
Your body wants to heal, sometimes it just needs the right support.

DM me if this resonates and you’d like to book in or if you have any questions at all ☺️

I look forward to supporting you on your journey of becoming your best ✨

To create truely lasting change, you must change your mind 🧠

Not just your everyday conscious thinking mind, but your subconscious mind.
This is the level where your programming, beliefs and emotional patterns are stored.

By going down into the theta brainwave state (via guided meditation) we can access the memories/imprints that are keeping you stuck in a perpetual loop of repeating cycles and rewire them.. for good.

🧬 This is what we do in Transforming DNA Memories 🤗

Firstly, we use kinesiology (muscle testing) as a way to directly communicate with your subconscious mind and innate wisdom to:

1) Discover exactly what it is you desire.

2) What the underlying issues are that are stopping that from being achievable.

3) Provide the correct support to get you 100% capable of achieving the change.

4) Find the right meditation based on where in your timeline the imprint was established so we can reprogram it at the root.

👉🏻 This is for you if:

- You’re still feeling stuck even though you’ve been “doing the work”.

- You know there’s something you’d like to shift but you don’t even know what it is.

- Other therapies haven’t given you the outcomes you’re seeking.

- You find it hard to talk about your life or struggle to articulate your feelings

- You are someone interested in or dedicated to self development.

This protocol is designed for anyone, of any age, with any issue, to feel safe, supported and empowered to take back control of their life and move forward with optimism, confidence and clarity.

Not only for you but for the generations that come after, and before you as well.

DM to book or if you have any questions ✨

I LOVE receiving feedback like this from my clients 🥹
Massage isn’t just about relaxation.. it’s about restoring connection, movement and confidence in your body and abilities.

Helping you reach your goals, release and reverse chronic issues and supporting you in becoming your best, this is why I do what I do and why therapeutic massage can be a game changer in achieving all of this and more!!

If you’ve been living with tension, discomfort, or feeling disconnected from your body, a therapeutic massage could be the thing you’re in need of. Whether you’re looking to enhance your performance, increase your mind/body connection or just to improve your general well being.. don’t hesitate to reach out because I’m here to support you in whatever way you need 🥰

With much love and gratitude,
Amber 💚
