Not sure what kind of massage you need?

Just choose your time, every session at Essential Massage with Jo is fully tailored to you.

When you arrive, we’ll chat about how you’re feeling and what you want from your massage. Whether you’re looking to deeply relax, ease pain, or both—we’ll shape the session around what your body needs most.

Here’s a simple breakdown of the two main styles we can work with:

Relaxation Massage
A gentle, flowing massage that soothes the nervous system and promotes deep rest.

Best for:

Reducing stress and anxiety

Improving sleep and emotional wellbeing

Calming the mind and body

Reconnecting with yourself

Relaxation massage moves your body into a rest-and-repair state—where true healing happens.

Deep Tissue Massage
A more focused, firm-pressure massage that targets deeper muscle and fascia layers.

Best for:

Long-term tension or chronic pain
Tight shoulders, stiff neck, lower back discomfort
Postural strain or muscle overuse
Improving range of motion and circulation

Deep tissue doesn’t have to mean painful.

Some tenderness is normal, but you should never feel the need to ‘grin and bear it.’

Your voice matters.
Let me know what feels good, what doesn’t, and how you’re responding—your session is your space. You deserve to enjoy it.

And here’s the real advantage of tailoring your session:
We can combine both. You might want deep tissue on a targeted area like your shoulders or back, while enjoying relaxation everywhere else.
The choice is yours—just say what you need.

Still unsure? Just book the time, and we’ll work it out together.

Tired. Tense. Tapped out?

Your body is talking. Are you listening?

Massage isn’t a luxury—it’s the reset your nervous system has been craving. Whether it’s your shoulders tightening by lunchtime, the headaches that sneak in by Friday, or that deep exhaustion that sleep never seems to touch... your body is carrying more than you realise.

At Essential Massage with Jo, I create a space where you can let go—fully.

Through slow, intuitive bodywork, I help unravel the tension, calm your nervous system, and bring you back to balance.

This is more than massage. This is medicine.

Benefits you could experience after just one session:

A deep sense of calm that lingers for days

Easier movement and less tension

Improved sleep and mental clarity

That rare feeling of being back in your body again, connection with oneself

If it’s been a while—or far too long—this is your invitation to reconnect.

Wellness and detox is for everybody!

This dad and daughter duo experienced the Biopulse Ionic Detox Foot Spa together, and the results speak for themselves. These before-and-after photos are a clear reminder of how much our bodies carry—and how powerful a gentle detox can be.

Clients often notice:

Reduced bloating and fluid retention

Boosted energy and mental clarity

Improved mood, sleep, and immune response

For best results, book weekly sessions for 4–6 weeks, then maintain monthly.

Post-Massage Care – Relaxation & Recovery

We hope you enjoyed your relaxation massage and are feeling the wonderful benefits it brings. A good massage doesn’t just feel great—it also supports your overall well-being.

Some key benefits of relaxation massage include:

Reduced stress and anxiety

Improved sleep and mental clarity

Keeping the benefits lasting longer with regular sessions—rebooking helps maintain that post-massage glow and builds on each session

To continue feeling your best, we recommend:

Drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated

Taking it easy for the rest of the day to let your body fully absorb the effects

Had a deep tissue massage instead?
It’s normal to feel some muscle soreness for up to 3 days afterward, similar to post-exercise discomfort. This will ease with rest, hydration, and gentle movement. A warm bath or heat pack can also help soothe the muscles.

Haven’t rebooked yet? You can easily schedule your next session online at:

We look forward to seeing you again soon and supporting your ongoing wellness.

Introducing the Bio-Pulse Ionic Detox

We're excited to soon introduce a cutting-edge, medical-grade detox solution to our wellness offerings.

This deeply revitalising treatment involves relaxing in a warm, ionised foot bath for 30 minutes. During this time, the body’s natural cleansing processes are stimulated at a cellular level, helping you feel lighter, more balanced, and deeply restored.

Key Benefits of the Bio-Pulse Ionic Detox may include:

• Detoxification and rejuvenation at the cellular level
• Clearer skin and brighter, more sparkling eyes
• Pain relief in muscles and joints
• A stronger, more resilient immune system
• Stress reduction and better sleep quality
• Boosted energy and improved mood
• Support for reducing systemic inflammation and excess candida

It’s a gentle, natural way to help the body reset — and an ideal complement to massage therapy for ongoing wellness support.

How it Works

During a Bio-Pulse Ionic/Rife Foot Spa session, a 24V electrical current is passed through a specialised array placed in a warm saltwater bath. This higher voltage allows the system to break the molecular bonds of water (H₂O), producing hydrogen and oxygen gases through electrolysis.

As a result, electrons are released into the water, which act as antioxidants. These are absorbed through the large pores in the feet and enter the bloodstream, supporting your body at the mitochondrial (cellular energy) level.

This process helps neutralise free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and restore healthy cellular function. It also enhances your body's ability to eliminate toxins through the liver, kidneys, skin, bowels, and urinary system.

The detox effect continues for up to 48 hours after treatment, making it a powerful addition to your self-care routine.

A reminder for those prioritising their health and wellbeing:

Massage is most effective when it’s part of a regular routine. Booking consistently—rather than waiting until pain or tension builds up—helps your body maintain the benefits of each session, supports long-term relief, and promotes better posture, mobility, and stress management.

If you're serious about your wellness, one of the best habits you can build is to book your next session before you leave your current one. It’s a simple but powerful way to stay on track and make lasting changes in how your body feels and functions.

My schedule can fill quickly, so I encourage you to book now and rebook regularly to secure the times that suit you best.

Let’s make your wellness a priority—not a last resort.

Feel free to message me to arrange your next appointment.

Are you’re carrying tension through your upper body—especially around the neck, shoulders, and chest—my 45-minute extended Back, Neck, Shoulder & Chest Massage at Essential Massage in Katikati offers deeper, more comprehensive relief.

In addition to focusing on the upper trapezius, rhomboids, shoulder blades, sternocleidomastoid, and levator scapulae, this extended session allows time to work into the pectoralis major and minor—the chest muscles that often go unnoticed but play a crucial role in posture and shoulder health.

Tightness in the pectorals can pull the shoulders into a rounded forward position, which strains the upper back and limits shoulder mobility. This tension can contribute to discomfort in the shoulders and reduce the functional range of motion of the rotator cuff. By releasing the chest muscles, this treatment helps open up the front of the body, allowing the shoulders to sit in a more natural, aligned position.

Many clients notice significant improvements in posture, reduced shoulder and neck tension, better mobility, and a more relaxed, open feeling across the upper body. It’s also an effective way to ease stress, improve circulation, and support a better night’s sleep.

If you're ready to experience the benefits of a more complete upper body reset, get in touch to book your session. I’d love to help you feel more balanced and at ease in your body.
