I came from Hawaii to live in New Zealand 27 years ago.  I studied to be a botanist, a gym instructor, a personal trainer, then an anatomist, then a psychologist, until I realised that my passion was in the field of healing.  I have created my own method of bodywork and incorporated orthopaedic massage into the mix.  Basically, my method fills the gap between the GP/Physio to surgery route.  I have found circumstances where all that was needed was alignment and muscle work to get the person back to optimum condition.  If you need surgery, then you need it.  But…Hip pain doesn’t always mean hip surgery,  Back pain doesn’t always mean back surgery and on and on.  I have the greatest respect for the medical profession, however, I have witnessed many situations resolved by muscle work.  Your muscles are amazing, they can lift heavy objects, run you around the track, play tennis, climb mountains and so much more.  So imagine what they can do to your joints, nerves, and body, when they are out of alignment and working against you or not working at all.  

For Bodywork and Massage:

I am a New Zealand Registered Massage Therapist.  I view each and every client case as individual and unique to that person.  I work clinically and holistically by mixing the way of the ancients with present knowledge using Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage, Applied and Energy Kinesiology, Human Biomechanics, Orthopaedic massage, Muscle Balancing, and Exercise Kinesiology and then apply them in bodywork.

I believe that we have the ability to self-heal so many of our physical issues. If the our structural alignment (posture) is the best it can be, then the energy lines that run through our bodies are not obstructed, breathing is not compromised, organs are not compressed, muscles can do their job optimally and joint and bone placement is correct.  Every body system is at its most functional.  

For Hypnotherapy: 

I am a New Zealand Registered Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapist. I combine Ho’oponopono (Hawaiian resolution therapy) and Clinical Hypnotherapy to not only open new doors, but also to close old ones.  I respectfully work with you on the deepest levels of mind and spirit, without gimmicks or trickery, pure hypnotherapy and mind connection.  

 I receive referrals from doctors, physiotherapists, chiropractors, government agencies, and lots and lots of satisfied clients.

Pain can be physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual.  From personal experience, I know that any kind of pain can change who you are and how you walk through life.  Let me help you regain your quality of life.

I like a friendly interactive session, where we work together to find and set the goals that you want to achieve.
