After witnessing FLOWpresso’s success supporting a wide range of health needs, I feel grateful to have returned to Whaingaroa, Raglan where I raised my two eldest tamariki and spent 20yrs immersed in this beautiful community. It’s been heartening reconnecting with familiar faces—and meeting new ones—as I reintroduce myself and my work.

That means you + someone special (a partner, friend, parent, tamaiti, great māmā day gift, coworker or caregiver) can come together to receive this nurturing experience side by side.

What is FLOWpresso?
It’s a gentle but powerful therapy using cyclical compression, deep pressure, and infrared/thermodynamic heat, perfect as the temperature is cooling. Helping your body & mind relax, reset and restore.

It supports with:
🌿 Stress, anxiety & emotional overwhelm
🌿 Sleep & energy regulation
🌿 Detox & lymphatic drainage
🌿 Muscle recovery & chronic pain
🌿 Immune support & metabolism
🌿 Somatic awareness & “switching off”
🌿 Nervous system balance
🌿 Seasonal transitions, jet lag, sports recovery & performance

You stay fully clothed, wrapped in warmth—like being held in a 40-minute embrace. While compression works it way sequentially up your body, mimicking a perfectly functioning lymphatic system. You’ll feel lighter, deeply grounded, and supported at every level.

This giveaway is a small koha of aroha to thank Whaingaroa, Raglan for supporting my mahi and whānau. I look forward to meeting more of you and offering what I’ve learned on this healing journey.

Giving the lymphatic system that extra boost it needs 🚀

Thirdly why compression….

Compression technology was first introduced to medicine to treat different circulatory conditions, such as lymphedema, post-surgery swelling and DVT. It is now widely being recognized to assist in health and sport recovery.

Compression can also help with lymphatic movement. The lymphatic system is vital for balancing fluid in your body, fighting diseases and helps maintain a healthy immune system. Without it, we wouldn't be here. The lymphatic system does not have a pump unlike the heart, so it needs all the help it can get from body movement.

The cyclic pneumatic compression within Flowpresso® is delivered to different areas of the body, allowing the body to change how it moves. Compression therapy helps encourage flow within the body and assist with releasing toxins from your system.

Why deep pressure….

Deep pressure stimulation is generally referred to as a form of tactile sensory input, which is provided by holding, stroking, hugging, swaddling, and squeezing.

The technique is often used to calm anxious people - improving coping behavior and giving their brain a better sense of where their body is concerning the outer world.

Applying deep pressure to the body creates a deeply relaxing effect, allowing the body to calm and release the daily stress of life.

When applied to the body it can do a multitude of things including;
- Help the Autonomic Nervous System become balanced,
- Improve sleep by reducing cortisol levels,
- Decrease overall effects of stress on the human system.

A light touch can be alerting and even agitating to some people, while deep pressure typically has a calming effect on the senses. Flowpresso® applies deep pressure – similar to a hug – to the whole body through each individual chamber, generating a profoundly relaxing effect, allowing the body to calm and release the daily stress of life.

A great time to start your FLOWPresso journey. Why Thermotherapy….

The goal of thermotherapy is to alter tissue temperature in a targeted region over time for the purpose of inducing a desired biological response.

With modern adaptations to heat therapy, tens of thousands of scientific articles and studies are now exploring the effects of different variations of thermotherapy on diverse issues.

Research shows that thermotherapy primarily supports the body through increased blood flow, tissue metabolism, elimination of metabolic waste, and connective tissue extensibility. It has shown to have a sleep-promoting effect.

Flowpresso® utlises thermotherapy in the four primary garment sections to embrace the body with a gentle, healing, warmth, creating a comforting environment that allows the body to finally rest and relax.

The Flowpresso® warmth and temperature range are designed to encourage relaxation and sleep, promote circulation, and support an improvement in health and well-being.
