Each Session Begins with Listening
I was raised in a home where hands-on care was part of daily life. Touch for Health and shiatsu were familiar long before formal training began.
Over the years I have trained as a naturopath and in massage therapy, postural work, Orthobionomy, trigger point therapy, lymphatic drainage, Reiki and energy-based practices.
But I do not work from a fixed formula.
I work in response to the body on the table.
Some sessions are deeply structural. Some are subtle and restorative. Some involve quiet conversation. Some are silent.
Often it is a weaving.
Physical tension and emotional holding are rarely separate. The body reveals what it is ready to shift.
My role is not to impose a method, but to attune, and to support what is already seeking balance.
Clients often describe the space as calm, grounded and safe. Over time, bodywork can become more than maintenance. It becomes a way of returning to yourself.
Life moves. Sometimes with force, sometimes with quiet insistence. You may be in a moment of transition - emotional, medical, hormonal, spiritual, or circumstantial.
How It Weaves with Mentorship
Many people begin with bodywork and later move into mentorship, or weave the two together. The body is often the first doorway—it holds the wisdom, the stress, and the stories we can’t always name.
Whether you come for bodywork alone, or as part of a deeper journey, this space is here for you.

Foot Freedom Series
Your feet carry you through life, yet they’re often the most neglected part of the body. Over time, stress, shoes, and daily strain can leave them sore, stiff, or misshapen. When your foundation isn’t free, the rest of your body compensates — creating tension, pain, and imbalance.
The Foot Freedom Series is a focused offering designed to restore ease, movement, and balance to your feet. Through a series of eight sessions over four weeks, we work progressively to release every joint in the feet, helping them move as they were designed to.
How It Works
- 8 sessions across 4 weeks
- First session: 60 minutes ($95 NZD)
- Following sessions: 30 minutes each ($50 NZD)
Payment: pay as you go, or in a single lump sum at the beginning – whichever feels right for you.
Why It Helps
This work is especially supportive if you experience:
- Sore or painful feet
- Stiffness or restriction
- Bunions or misshapen joints
- Difficulty standing or walking with ease
When your feet are free, your whole body feels lighter, more grounded, and better supported. Many clients describe this series as life-changing.
Foot Freedom Series FAQ
Do I have to commit to all 8 sessions?
Yes — the full series is what creates lasting change. Each session builds on the last, gradually freeing the joints and retraining your feet to move with more ease.
What if I can’t do them all in 4 weeks?
Ideally, sessions are close together (twice a week) for best results. If life gets in the way, we can adjust the timing a little — but consistency is key to giving your feet the chance to truly shift.
Is the work painful?
No. The sessions are gentle but effective. You may feel sensations of release or stretch, but the aim is comfort and freedom, not force. Many clients find the sessions surprisingly soothing.
How long are the sessions?
- The first session is 60 minutes, to assess and begin deeper work.
- The following 7 sessions are 30 minutes each, focusing specifically on the joints of the feet.
What does it cost?
- First session: $95 NZD (60 minutes)
- Following sessions: $50 NZD each (30 minutes)
- Payment can be made as you go, or in a single lump sum at the beginning.
Who is this for?
Anyone with sore, stiff, or misshapen feet, bunions, or discomfort when walking or standing. It’s especially supportive for people whose feet are limiting their ease and movement in daily life.
Our feet are our foundations—amazingly complex structures that play a crucial role in every aspect of our daily lives. Foot mobilisation focuses on restoring optimal alignment and mobility through each joint in the foot, while also incorporating elements of reflexology to promote overall well-being.
This approach is especially beneficial for anyone experiencing pain or discomfort in the feet, ankles, or knees. It can provide relief for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, fallen arches, flat feet, tired and achy feet, and even aid recovery from injuries. By addressing the foundational structure of the feet, this work supports not only foot health but also enhances balance, stability, and comfort throughout the entire body.
30 minutes $48 (addressing feet only)
60 minutes $95 (incorporating legs and feet)
"I offer an exceptional, serene space in a quiet and beautiful location. Situated on a peaceful street in Port Chalmers, the predominant sounds are birdsong, while the studio overlooks the stunning Otago Harbour and the bush-covered islands stretching towards Portobello."

Home Visits
In certain circumstances, I offer home visits to provide care in the comfort of your own space. This service is particularly beneficial for individuals with chronic, debilitating conditions that make traveling to and from appointments challenging, or even impossible.
I have experience working with people in the final stages of life, offering gentle, hands-on techniques to provide pain relief and ease some of the physical and emotional difficulties they may be facing during this profound and sensitive time.
If you feel that a home visit may be appropriate for you or a loved one, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can contact me via phone, text, or email to discuss your needs and explore whether this option might work for your unique situation.
