We're back baby!!!

Today marks day 7 post-op, and I’m recovering really well. I’ll be returning to the clinic from Monday, feeling grateful, supported, and ready to welcome you back just at a slightly gentler pace for these first couple of weeks.

To support my recovery and give every client my full attention, sessions may run a little longer than usual as I’ll be allowing time to hydrate and pace myself between treatments. Your hands-on treatment time remains the same it simply means a calmer, more unhurried experience for everyone.

All current availability is in the image above. If your body has been asking for some care, now’s a beautiful time to book in.

Thank you so much for the patience, kindness, and encouragement while I’ve been healing. I’m so excited to be back doing what I love 💚

Kia ora all!!!

Surgery went well and I'm on my way back to New Zealand now. But if I miss any one please pm me again.

Ive had so many messages, texts and calls but I promise I will do my best to reply as soon as I can.

We are aiming for Monday for reopening again please note sessions will Emma may look slightly different for a while I need to take it easy so deep tissue work will be referred over to Michelle as needed to not overwhelm me and I will be having water breaks during our sessions. Because of this an extra 10 minutes will be added to every massage for the next few weeks to ensure everyone has their bliss time.

Can't wait to see your faces again and hear all about your Christmas/new years stories

Much love

Emma and Michelle

Fascia: The Unsung Hero of How Your Body Moves

Everyone’s finally starting to catch on to how important fascia really is — but most people still underestimate just how deeply it influences movement, flexibility, and even how comfortable your body feels day-to-day.

Here’s the simple version:

When your fascia is hydrated and healthy, it behaves completely differently at a cellular level.
✨ It conducts tiny bioelectric signals
✨ It helps muscles coordinate
✨ It supports smooth, controlled movement
✨ It gives your body that “springy,” elastic quality you feel after a great massage or stretch session

When it’s loaded and cared for properly, fascia becomes more responsive. Your posture improves, you move with less effort, and your energy stays more stable because your body isn’t constantly working against resistance.

But when fascia gets dry, sticky, or disorganized?
That’s when stiffness creeps in.
Joints start taking on forces they weren’t built for.
Movement feels tight, restricted, or just wrong.

And here’s the part most people miss:
💧 Hydration isn’t just about drinking water it’s about restoring the mechanical conditions that let fluid actually move through your tissues.

If you want better movement, it’s not only about strengthening weak muscles.
You need to build the mechanics that let your fascia distribute tension efficiently throughout your whole body.

Because ultimately…
The quality of your movement shapes the quality of your tissue.

So.....have you had some water today?

🌈 Massage is for everyone — and everyone is safe here.

A while ago I made a post, “What’s put you off from going back to a massage therapist before?” and I got a few private messages back but one response has really stayed with me:

A client had ended up in tears because of being refused service and berated because of their gender identity and honestly to me this is disgusting.

As both a bisexual woman, and as a therapist, it damn breaks my heart.
Creating a space where people feel seen, respected, and completely safe in their bodies isn’t just part of my job… it’s part of who I am.

At Massage Em, your identity, your pronouns, your body, and your story are all welcome here.
You will never be judged.
You will always be treated with dignity, consent, and genuine care.

I truly believe massage can be a space of healing, grounding, and reconnecting with yourself
and that can only happen when you feel safe.

My space is for you.
Your body is safe with me. Always. 💚

If you ever have accessibility needs, safety concerns, or preferences that help you feel more comfortable, please let me know — I’m here to meet you exactly where you are.

Everyone deserves a safe place to relax, unwind, and be cared for.
I’m proud that Massage Em is one of those places

We get messages like this all the time 👇🏼
“Help, I did something to my ___ do you have any openings today?”
or
“I woke up this morning and my ___ is driving me crazy… can you fit me in?”

And if we’re able to help someone who’s in pain, we always will. That part never changes.

But we can’t say this loudly enough: massage works best as a planned, preventative practice not just a last-minute cry for help.

Here’s why 👇🏼

1️⃣ When there’s an acute injury involved, massage isn’t always safe or appropriate.
2️⃣ Consistent, regular massage supports your body in ways that go far beyond short-term pain relief improved movement, better recovery, reduced tension build-up, and fewer flare-ups overall.

This is exactly why we created our membership program to support our clients with regular, ongoing bodywork so they can feel their best before pain takes over, not only when something is screaming for attention.

Right now, we’re still working through what memberships will look like moving into 2026. While we don’t have all the details locked in just yet, what we can promise is this: memberships aren’t going anywhere and they’ll be back as soon as possible.

Massage shouldn’t be something you book in a panic.
It should be part of how you care for your body long-term.

✨ Prevention over panic
✨ Consistency over crisis
✨ Support before breakdown

If this sounds like the kind of care your body needs, keep an eye out memberships will be returning soon.
