Massage in Wanaka

07/01/2026

This year, instead of pushing harder, what if you slowed down?
Stress plays a huge role in our health, yet it’s often the thing we give the least attention to.
Over the past few weeks, so many people have shared how overwhelmed they feel—and how deeply nourishing it is to simply lie down, breathe, and relax into a massage.
Taking time out isn’t indulgent; it’s essential.
What a beautiful way to begin the year.

The peoples medicine, here for everyone collect and use. .........
Golden Medicine, quietly growing
🌼 St. John’s Wort — one of my favourites 🌼

As a Herbalist, I love working with herbs that grow where we live. Right now, St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) is everywhere — generous, resilient, and quietly powerful.

Well known as an uplifting herb, it’s also a beautiful nerve tonic, calming for the nervous system, supportive through menopause, antiviral and antifungal, and wonderful for massage and fascia work. I’ve used it for years in oils and balms — and I love it just as much as a tea. A small cup, blended with other herbs, feels light, steady, and quietly uplifting. The happy tea.

If you’re curious, you can gather it yourself — avoid roadsides, take a walk somewhere local, collect only a little, pick the flower tops, and always leave plenty behind so it keeps growing for next year. Dry it gently for tea, or infuse the fresh flowers in oil and watch the magic as it turns a deep ruby red. The active ingredient hypericin.

At the Wellness Spa, herbal teas will be part of the ritual — a simple way to extend your treatment, calm the nervous system, and reconnect with the wisdom of plants. There is so much to know, and so much to share.

The doors are opening soon. About to start scrapping off the old Opulence hairdressers stickers. But thought it was fun to post this , as people will be able to figure out exactly where we are moving. And no peeping until the opening, so it's surprise. Feeling real now. Making a dream come true.......

Facial massage isn't a new trend-it's a return to what works. Targeted facial massage supports lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and fluid retention. It releases overworked facial muscles, softens fascia, increases blood circulation and brings fresh oxygen to the skin. The result is less congestion. More definition. Natural lift. And yes -your skin will literally glow for days.... It's what I have been doing for the last 40 years and why I have never changed or stopped. I know it works. I have experience and expertise at my fingertips. Literally.........
