I trained in Traditional Yoga Thai Massage, an accredited course recognized by the Massage Association of Australia, in Byron Bay. 

I then took several courses and workshops, such as Intuitive Balinese Massage, Lomi Lomi, and reflexology for relaxation. I gained a lot of knowledge working with excellent highly trained mentors. I developed skills and method through work experience and classes over the years, and eventually opened a clinic back in Australia.

Then we came to Whakatane! Fresh start in sunny Bay of Plenty! 

So I moved Ballina Balinese Massage from Australia to New Zealand... I have, since February, established Whakatane Massage Therapy. I've been blessed with a warm welcome from Tina at Debod House, and by the community who gave me a chance. You made bookings, then you came back, and back again! 

The beautiful tranquil new space with a Bali vibe is ready, come and meet me on Louvain St! 

If you're not familiar with a particular massage style or massage in general, I will explain! I look forward to build thriving relationships with new peers & clients all around gorgeous Whakatane.
