A gentle but important reminder of our new booking policy 🤍

All appointments are required to be booked and prepaid online to be secured. This allows me to run on time, avoid disruptions, and give every client the care and attention they deserve.

I completely understand that everyone’s situations are different however, repeatedly asking for exceptions or trying to work around the booking system isn’t something I’m able to accommodate.

To keep things fair and running smoothly for all clients, I do reserve the right to decline or refuse future bookings where these boundaries aren’t respected.

A huge thank you to those who book in advance and support how I run my business it truly doesn’t go unnoticed 🤍

If you’re ready to book your next session, you can do so online through set more anytime, your spot is secured once prepaid also if you need help with setting up the app on your phone let me know and I can help next time you're in clinic

Well K.O Bodywork and I have got a bit of an exciting idea brewing… 👀✨

We are looking for a beautiful, cozy space where we can run small, boutique-style massage retreats every now and then.

Think:
🌿 Calm, quiet, tucked away
🔥 Warm and inviting for winter
💆‍♀️ Space for two massage tables
🚿 Running water, power, bathroom (must-haves)
🧖‍♀️ Sauna / spa / outdoor space = a big bonus

The goal is to create a resort-style experience massage, relaxation, a few extra thoughtful touches… something really special.

Ideally within a reasonable distance of Morrinsville / Tokoroa, and if it works well, it could become a semi-regular collaboration, further out considered too.

If you (or someone you know) has an Airbnb, private space, or hidden gem that could work we would LOVE to hear from you.

Send me a message or tag them below and lets chat!! 🤍

Fascia isn’t just “wrapping” around your muscles it's a continuous, body-wide network that connects everything.

It weaves through your muscles like a web, helping your body move smoothly and efficiently.

When it’s healthy, fascia is flexible, adaptable, and allows tissues to glide past each other with ease.

But with stress, injury, or repetitive strain, it can become less mobile and more restricted.

That’s when you might notice:
• Tightness that stretching doesn’t fully relieve
• Aches that don’t seem to have a clear cause
• Pain showing up in areas that don’t match the source

Because the body works as a connected system, restrictions in one area can influence movement and tension elsewhere.

This is where myofascial work comes in.

Using slow, sustained techniques, we work with your body not against it to help improve tissue mobility, reduce tension, and support more natural movement.

When your body starts moving better, you’ll often feel:
✨ Less tension
✨ Easier movement
✨ A greater sense of relaxation

If your body’s been feeling tight, restricted, or “off”… this might be the missing piece.

Ready to experience it for yourself?

Be honest… which one are you during a massage? 😂

A) “That’s the spot”
B) tries to stay quiet but accidentally makes a weird noise
C) Mentally planning life for the next 3 weeks
D) Falls asleep and wakes up not knowing what year it is
E) Holding your breath for no reason

I see you all… 👀

I love what I do genuinely.
Being able to help people move better, feel better, and reconnect with their bodies is something I never take for granted.
But wowsers… this work demands a lot physically and mentally. Long hours on your feet, repetitive movements, deep pressure it adds up quickly if you’re not careful.

That’s why I’m so grateful to be able to massage swap with K.O Bodywork from Tokoroa not only are we in the same industry but we work similar to the point shes the only one I trust to actually get in to the points that need the remedial work.

Not only does it keep my own body functioning at its best, but it’s also a reminder that we can’t pour from an empty cup.
As therapists, we talk so much about self-care, recovery, and maintenance for our clients and this is us actually trying to live that.

We both understand the importance of looking after the body behind the hands doing the work. Regular treatment, listening to what our bodies need, and practicing what we preach isn’t a luxury in this industry it’s essential.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your therapist invests in their own care too… the answer should always be yes even if we are not perfect at it.

So if you’re looking for practitioners who genuinely believe in what they do (and back it up with their own actions), you’re in the right place 🤍

I’m going to be really honest today. I’m not looking for sympathy I’m looking for change.

I’m angry. I’m sad. And I’m trying to hold it together behind the counter while seeing faces we’ve known for 10 years walk through the door. I’m sorry I did not have the strength to talk to most of you.

This was never about lack of support.
You showed up. You always did. You stood in queues, you brought your friends, you celebrated your birthdays with us, you made us part of your life for a decade. That was never the problem.

The problem is trying to exist in an economy where people can barely afford to treat themselves anymore. Where every single cost goes up — ingredients, rent, electricity, fuel levies, packaging, wages — and somehow small businesses are just expected to absorb it quietly, smile, and keep going.

“Just put your prices up.”
“Just adapt.”
“Just work harder.”

Someone said it was our own fault for not changing our recipes! We are working harder. We are doing everything we can. We sold donuts in Bunnings Car Parks during Covid, we know how to adapt. And still… it’s not enough.

And the hardest part?
Standing here, smiling, making coffee, handing over your pastries, saying “have a great day” — while inside you’re carrying the weight of staff, rent and bills… and the very real fear of losing something you’ve built your life around.

We are trained to say we’re fine.
We’re often not.

So please — and I mean this with everything in me —
go and support your local small businesses if you can.

Check on the owners. Actually check on them.
Ask them how they’re really doing.

Because behind every “we’re good!” is often someone who hasn’t slept properly in weeks.

Fight for the little places. The corner shops. The bakeries, the cafés, the florists, the tiny stores that make your suburb feel like a community instead of just a postcode.

They are disappearing. And it’s not because people don’t care.

It’s because the system makes it almost impossible to survive.

We’re here today.
We’re baking as long as we can.

Come by, say hi, give your favourite spots a bit of love — not just us, all of them.

Because once they’re gone…they’re gone.
