General Holistic/ Therapeutic Massage

It doesn't matter if you're pregnant or not, our massage therapist is ready and waiting to offer you the women of Auckland awesome massages. Massage is a great way to relax and unwind from the pressures of life. Regular massages (every 1-3 weeks) will help you to stay calm and relaxed in the midst of everyday life.

Most people think of massage as being a luxury, or a treat to have only once in a while. However, if you’re feeling tired, stressed, anxious or depressed, regular massages can help you to feel reconnected with your body, balanced in your emotions and relaxed in your thoughts. By having regular sessions of massage therapy you will train yourself to respond to life in a relaxed and more calm and productive manner that will last.

BENEFITS

Do you suffer from backache, poor circulation, high blood pressure, frequent colds, low energy and insomnia? Do you feel older than your years and more like someone twice your age? Regular massage therapy treatments can help to balance your blood pressure, improve circulation and immune system, relieve tired and sore muscles, ease tight and aching joints, release the tension in your back that causes spinal troubles, and increase your feelings of energy and youth. Not only will massage therapy make you feel great, but people will be telling you that you look great too!

Massage therapy is a physical based treatment that can help you on all levels; physical, emotional and mental. Joyful Childbirth offers a ladies only massage that involves deep pressures as well as deeply relaxing and connecting moves helping you to feel safe and at ease. The full body massage therapy not only brings about great physical well being, but also creates a deep sense of connection with every part of yourself. This is an ideal treatment for those suffering from tiredness, stress, anxiety and depression.

Often massage is carried out on one area at a time. However, the Joyful Childbirth holistic massage therapy works by connecting the whole body, allowing the legs and arms to feel as an important part of the whole as your back and stomach. Massage therapy treatments are not rushed and you will feel that you have experienced a great luxury as well as an important health and illness prevention treatment.

YOUR MASSAGE

This is your massage and we want you to enjoy it.

• Talking through your massage is not encouraged (although you're welcome to chat if you want to, but your silence will not be interrupted).
• You can choose music or silence.
• We offer you the pressure you enjoy; Super Firm, Firm, Medium or Light (or anywhere in between).
• You will be required to inform me if the pressure is not to your comfort throughout the massage. We believe massage should be uninterrupted bliss so we trust you will tell us if we are hurting you or if you want harder pressure.
• You're welcome to choose where you would like your massage session to focus; just your back (neck down to glutes), back and head, back and arms, back and belly, back and legs or full body (with or without a belly rub)... or any mix of these. It's your session, tailor made to you.

All our appointments are for 60 minutes which includes the consultation and massage. Please allow time afterwards for getting dressed and relaxation.

We aim to have you on your way home within 90 minutes but if you need to be gone by the hour then do let us know. You will not be charged any more if your appointment runs over but you will be charged the same price if you are late or leave on time.
