New Zealand's national paper, the Sunday Star-Times, is embarking on a project to find out what Kiwiana has evolved into and how it encapsulates the values of our diverse, innovative 21st century nation.

Join us as we explore what Kiwi culture looks like in neighbourhoods across the country. In the coming weeks, you'll notice a few posts about Kiwi innovations popping up across Neighbourly - we'd love for you engage and let us know what innovations and innovators you think need profiling!

Massage Therapy for emotional health



Learning to let go deeply into relaxation is vital for our emotional and physical health. As an intuitive massage therapist, my role is to feel and free up the blocks to your energy flow. Blocks can manifest as sore muscles, a feeling of being tense within, or have little energy for life.



Working intuitively, I can feel what you need and use the right combination of oils and healing energy to restore the natural flow of your energy. The result is a feeling of being deeply renewed emotionally and physically.

People often say that they feel like they have had a week’s holiday in an hour. This is the result of this very holistic approach.



If you feel like you need deep nourishment in your life currently, a massage at In Essence will support you. Be it with physical pain, or emotional health, it will make the difference.



New client special applies:
$60 instead of $100 – first time only



We look forward to making a difference for you.
