Director of ICHM, established 1995

I trained at the London School of Sports Massage in 1992 - 1993, qualifying with honours in 1993. Since my return to New Zealand and the establishment of Inner City Health Massage in 1995, I have completed a range of massage therapy related courses including the Paul Chek Level II course in Postural testing and exercise prescription. I am currently a Registered Massage Therapist with the New Zealand Therapeutic Massage Association, as well as an accredited massage therapist with NZ Sports Academy for work with Carded Athletes.

My clientele has varied over the years to include some key organisations and sporting bodies. These include the London Contemporary Dance Theatre, London Crusaders Rugby League, Auckland Warriors Rugby League, Tall Blacks, NZ Swimming and The All Blacks. In 2002 I was the New Zealand Massage Therapist to the Manchester Commonwealth games team. In July 2004 I travelled to Athens as the massage therapist to the New Zealand team for the Athens Olympic Games. In 2006, I headed the NZ massage team for the Melbourne Commonwealth Games.

My treatments vary from general therapeutic massage to full body postural analysis. I utilise deep tissue massage, myofascial release, stretching, relaxation, remedial massage, sports massage, and trigger point therapy.

My philosophy is founded in my belief that massage forms an integral cog in a human beings general well being. Touch and palpation skills can assist with many of the body’s imbalances. Whether the treatment is relaxation focused or remedial, a skilled, well trained therapist will produce excellent results. Massage has been part of the human repair process from mans conception.

From the simplest form of rubbing a tender area to the more studied and therapeutic forms that are offered today – I see massage as a key tool that allows the body to relax, repair and recover naturally.
