🧿 Firstly I want to say a HUGE thankyou to all of the lovely clients I have had over the years. I have really enjoyed working with you all. You have all taught me something new each session. 🙏
From the 2nd of August I will be working from my studio at home only.
This is at 233 Lloyd Valley Road, Orinoco. A lovely 20 min drive from Motueka and a 40 minute drive from Richmond.
(In certain cases I am happy to come to you, travel costs apply).
The great thing about working from home is that I can offer my services a bit cheaper and have more time slots available. 🙂
Nga Mihi and Thankyou .
Warm Regards Rita

🧿🙂 Some very good advice came to me this week as I suffered a gluten response which lead to a very upset digestive system.
The photo shows 3 products.
💊The probiotic, specifically Saccharomyces Boulardii helps with digestive tract targeting healthy bowel habits.
🫙The powered psyllium husk brings Fibre into the mix and can be dissolved in many dishes
🐂Last of all but definitely not least is the Bone Broth that coats the digestive track lining with collagen, repairing the damage done after eating a food such as gluten that causes gastric distress.
🧀 🙃 Sadly a gluten response can also trigger an intolerance to lactose in some people, so eliminating dairy products for a short time helps too.

Recently I had the pleasure of taking my first Couples Massage Workshop! "The Gift of Touch"🤲
It was fantastic to hear comments like:
'It helps me feel more connected to my partner' and
' I really enjoyed learning how to release tired and tense back muscles for my other half'
Essentially this workshop covers massage techniques to release tight, tired and sore muscles on the back.
A bonus too is that it encourages communication between each other and of course each person has a nice muscle release massage. 🤲
I'm running a 50% off special till the end of February, so this means the 3 hour workshop only costs $200 per couple!
🌟I work with one couple at a time.
🌟Time,Date and Venue to be confirmed with clients as they book. I work in with you! 🤩
If this sounds like you and you'd like more info, pm me or text 027 361 7477 🤩

Tight pecs result in rounded shoulders. This in turn places strain on your neck and shoulder blades, and can be the main cause of headaches and dizziness.
Targeted muscle (myofascia) release work and effective exercises are the best way forward.

🔹️Arm or finger pain
🔹️Difficulty with deep breathing
🔹️Sensitivity 🔹️Tightness

🔹️Shoulderblade pain.

The Calf Muscles, made up of 3 main muscles the Triceps Surae and the Gastrocnemius. Otherwise known as The 2nd Heart.
As the heart pumps oxygen-rich blood to your whole body it benefits from some help by your calf muscles to keep the oxygen-depleted blood flowing round the system - against gravity. Your calf muscles give the blood an extra push through the veins back in the direction of your heart.

Because the calf muscle assists the heart in circulating blood throughout your body it’s really important to keep them strong and healthy.
Book now for a session dedicated to releasing trapped Fascia (connective tissue) in your calves. Helpful for posture, running and circulation
