I established Hands on Health -Latta Massage Therapy in 2005 after graduating with a d

iploma in Massage Therapy with distinction from the Canterbury college of Natural Medicine. I have been very fortunate to have travelled with the job I love to do which has taken me to the London and Beijing Olympics, track and field World champs in South Korea and Berlin with Athletics New Zealand, and numerous World Champs and World Cups with Rowing New Zealand. Day to day I still get a real buzz working with my regular clients, and seeing our new clients walk out of a treatment more upright and reduced pain. Each year I enjoy attending courses to further my knowledge, and will continue to do so to get the best for our clients. Emma Head
I graduated from the University of Teesside (UK) in 2005 with a BSc(Hons) in Sports Therapy. The core focus of the degree is soft tissue manipulation to improve performance and recovery. Since graduating my main focuse has been on clinical massage therapy, helping the individual to recover, repair and learn new strategies to help their body be the best it can be. I am always looking to improve on my skill set. I have additional qualifications and experience in Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Pregnancy Massage and Relaxtion/Stress Management.

Feeling Sluggish?
Did you know your lymphatic system plays a vital role in detoxification, immunity, and overall well-being?
Lymphatic drainage massage can help stimulate this system, promoting the removal of toxins, reducing swelling, and boosting your body's natural healing processes. All massage influences the Lymphatic system however a targetted lymphatic massage can unlock all the benefits below.
Benefits of lymphatic drainage:
• Detoxification: Helps your body eliminate waste and excess fluids.
• Surgery prep & enhanced Surgery recovery
• Reduced swelling and water retention: Especially helpful for post-surgery recovery or for those experiencing lymphedema.
• Immune system support: A healthy lymphatic system is crucial for fighting off illness.
• Stress relief and relaxation: The gentle massage can calm the nervous system and promote relaxation.
