KIA ORA

I'm Rosie, welcome to Kōwhai Massage Studio.

I believe that massage is a very special treatment that can benefit both the mind and the body. My interest in massage began when my mother used to massage me as a child. I now use it to ease the aches and pains of my own children.

I studied massage therapy at Otago Polytechnic, attaining a Bachelor of Applied Science in Massage Therapy. As part of my study, I conducted a research project on "The Perceptions of Massage During Pregnancy" and completed many practical hours working with pregnant women. I love seeing the benefit that regular massage can have on the mind and body during this time of great change.

I have also completed specialist training in Pregnancy Massage, Postpartum Massage, Myofascial Release, Cupping, Indian Head Massage and Manual Lymphatic Drainage.

Whether you are pregnant, postpartum or suffer from stress or aches and pains, I would love to be able to help you too.
