ABOUT THE PRACTICE
Positive touch that supports your whole system
Massage works by supporting the body's own healing processes, reducing pain, improving circulation, calming the nervous system and restoring a sense of ease.
My approach is not one-size-fits-all. We begin with the first consultation where I take time to understand your health history and goals, and tailor the treatment accordingly.

WHAT I OFFER
Treatments & Sessions
Each treatment is available as a standalone session or as part of an integrated care plan alongside naturopathic support.
SIGNATURE SESSION
One hour of Angelic Reiki — gentle energetic therapy that invites deep calm, emotional release and spiritual support — followed by one hour of therapeutic massage to ease muscular tension, improve circulation and ground the body after the energetic work. Together, these two modalities create a deeply restorative experience that nurtures both the subtle and physical layers of your wellbeing.
YOUR FIRST VISIT
What to expect
To help you to feel familiar with how I work before you arrive, your first massage appointment is likely to flow like this
01
Arrival & intake
Please arrive at your booked time. I will take a full client history, including any health conditions, injuries, medications, and your goals for the session, along with a discussion regarding informed consent.
03
Aftercare guidance
I will advise on how to care for yourself after the session — hydration, rest and any specific guidance relevant to your treatment. It is common to feel deeply relaxed, or occasionally a little tender, in the day or two following remedial work.
02
Your treatment
We agree to a treatment plan based on what your body needs on the day. I will check in with you throughout your session. Pressure and comfort are always led by you.
04
Ongoing care
Regular sessions are recommended. I will suggest an appropriate frequency based on your response to treatment and health goals. Massage can also be combined with naturopathic support and Angelic Reiki for a fully integrated approach to your health.

Please advise me of any changes to your physical or mental health at the start of future sessions. All services offered are non-sexual.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Real people. Real results

Upon arrival I was greeted warmly, brought into a beautifully warm room and offered water. Cherry had the option for me to sit or lie down — being pregnant, that was amazing. The massage was so relaxing, and Cherry took the time to explain how the body would respond to different techniques. I came away feeling like I was walking on a cloud.

I was recommended to Cherry for scar tissue release after breaking my wrist and having surgery. You could tell immediately how caring and passionate she is. The treatment I received is amazing — my hand therapist could really feel and notice a difference.

I met Cherry through the Upper Hutt Community Clinic. She takes the time to understand specific needs and areas of tension. During my massage I could feel my body loosening up almost instantly — I went from stressed, tight and sore to warm and able to move with ease.
