Lisa
"So wonderful at my initial assessment with Tania to share my life journey through the lens of my (and my family's) health experiences. Dealing with pain using herbal supplements that work has lifted my spirits so much l am joining the Wellington Senior Swans ballet group. Thank you Tania for your attention to detail."
Kathryn
"I have recently undergone a naturopathic assessment with Tania. I was wanting to reduce the painkillers I was swallowing for osteoarthritis pain in my knees, hips and back and follow a more holistic path. There was an initial consultation to discuss my health concerns, diet, lifestyle and what my goals were. From this consultation Tania assessed the info supplied by me and provided me with a wellness focus and wellness plan. This outlined the goals and recommendations to help address my health concerns and increase my energy. These included nutrition, lifestyle and supplements & complimentary remedies. Tania dealt with the initial consultation in her usual calm, unobtrusive and thorough manner and I feel already, the wellness plan is helping me deal with the discomfort and lack of energy that osteoarthritis brings."

Lisa
"Over the ten years I've been seeing Tania, I've really appreciated her holistic and intuitive approach as she is very adaptable to whatever she is presented with on the day. Tania has been key in helping me return to doing the things I enjoy after both my hip replacement surgeries. I always enjoy the insightful conversations and Tania takes an honest interest in getting to know what my longer term goals are as well as my day to day functional needs. If you are wanting improvements in your well being, I highly recommend experiencing massage with Tania. "
Sue
"I’m an active recreational cyclist who sometimes races a bit and I’ve been getting regular massages from Tania for nearly 10 years now. Tania is highly skilled, knowledgeable, professional and empathetic and is very good at identifying and targeting specific areas of concern. She has significantly reduced the number of muscle injuries I get, and I recover from those that I do get much more quickly than in the past. Tania has kept me active and competing well into my 50s and is an important contributor to my overall health and wellbeing. "
Kevan
"I have committed to massage once a week with Tania as after my first session with her I knew she was a dedicated massage therapist with a tonne of knowledge in her and under her fingers. Every week she gives a genuine mini consult to hear what is happening for me and to work out how the massage might be different and useful for me this time round. Having experienced many types of massage and practitioners over 20 years, including doing a little bodywork study myself, I can recommend Tania as one of the best. It’s evident she knows anatomy inside out and she was the first practitioner to work on the longstanding problem area of my hips and get results. She also offers the most beautiful, confident and detailed massage of the calves and feet I have ever received. Tania is a gem: extremely knowledgeable (in many areas of health), dedicated, genuine and always kind, checking in and being honest with me. Thanks Tania - I appreciate you a lot! "
Natalie
"Tania was an absolute godsend throughout my pregnancy journey and now into postpartum. Throughout pregnancy, I was carrying a larger baby and struggled physically, however, each session with Tania enabled me to carry the extra load with much greater ease and lightness. I experienced headaches in early pregnancy which quickly disappeared under Tania’s care. I was also diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes towards the end of pregnancy and found it harder to stay active. With Tania’s help, I was able to relieve a significant amount of tension throughout my body and get back to moving more frequently. The work Tania did in relation to my hip pain was particularly impressive! Now that I am in postpartum, Tania has been supporting me throughout my recovery. I have been experiencing joint pain since the birth of my son ten weeks ago and every session with Tania is proving to be of great benefit once again. Tania has an in-depth knowledge around all things pregnancy and postpartum and could offer me a wealth of knowledge and advice that went beyond her skills as a masseuse. This has been incredibly beneficial both physically and mentally. I cannot recommend Tania enough – she is exceptionally professional, knowledgeable and a very gifted therapist."
