Thinking about your mum this weekend? Same....

If you have already forgotten this Sunday is Mothers day...this may be helpful. 😆

Mum jokes aside, Mothers day is a lovely time to remind your mum how much you appreciate her having labored tirelessly in the name of love.

If not a massage voucher, a simple flower and a hug always goes a long way too.

Thanks to all the mumsies.

I am updating my prices 🌻 and have been meaning to post for a while. After 5 years offering massage at an hourly rate of $80 I have increased my Price to $90 p/h

Lots of factors have contributed to this price increase as it reflects incremental cost increases over the last 5 years.

My Prices have adjusted as follows

✨60minutes - $90
✨75minutes - $110
✨90minutes - $130

I am so grateful for the ongoing support of all of my clients in Leeston. It is a joy to offer massage here and I look forward to connecting with more of our community in time.

Hi my name is Hillary

I have been practising massage therapy for 8 years. I blend therapeutic, relaxation and sports massage techniques into a treatment plan based on what you most need. Treatments can incorporate sound vibration, Jin Shin Jyutsu (Japanese acupressure), and hot stones to deepen the therapeutic and relaxation effects of your session.

Massage therapy has deep physiological benefits. Not only does it increase circulation, oxygen saturation, flexibility and muscle tone it shifts the nervous system into a state of relaxation that allows for greater recovery to take place. Our bodies carry us diligently and whether you are seeking massage to prevent, maintain and enhance or to find relief from stress, strain, aches or pain, you will leave feeling better.

🍂When?
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursdays - 2pm-8pm

🌞Where
Sun & Moon Wellbeing Centre

🍃Prices
$80/h (relaxation/therapeutic)

Please, get in touch if you have any questions

We are constantly challenged with worry, stress and anxiety in daily life. Taking the time to catch yourself, slow down and check in with your body is a must to regain or maintain good health. What do you need? Bringing your awareness inward in simple ways can help break patterns of anxiety and tension, and help you hear what your body is asking for, maybe it's taking a moment, going for a drive/walk, deep breathing, taking a nap or having a stretch!

External and internal factors sometimes outside of our control can be overwhelming, so it helps to have tools in your toolbox to help enhance your personal experience and support your Joy!

My favourite tool is Touch. Massage eases both the body and the mind. Physical touch calms the body and activates the vagus nerve, the parasympathetic hub of the body, responsible for switching our bodies from a state of heightened awareness and action (stress/danger/flight) response to a state of relaxation (rest/healing). Our bodies don't effectively maintain themselves or heal under constant stress and anxiety, so however you choose to relax do it often because you are doing the best you can.

If you have any questions feel free to give me a call.
