Dear Bellissimo Clients and friends,
I am happy and excited to introduce myself as the new resident massage therapist working at Bellissimo Skin & Body. I will be available for appointments on Mondays from 1pm until 6pm and Wednesdays from 4pm until 8pm.
 I completed my training in massage therapy and reflexology in London in 2001 and 2002 and have been working as a therapist since then. The training and experience I have attained covers deep tissue massage, relaxation massage, reflexology, pre and post-natal massage and massage for sports people. I am also trained and experienced in gentle and very safe mobilisation techniques for those experiencing problematic and tight joints. Having worked at Inner City Health Massage in Auckland for 5 years under the tutelage and mentoring of Glenn Turner (Massage therapist for the Athens Olympic games NZ team and also Commonwealth games) I am confident in my field of work. This gaining of knowledge and acquisition of sports massage techniques has been invaluable in helping me to provide a thorough treatment for my clients.

My philosophy and promise of professionalism
The treatments that I provide are geared toward providing relief from muscular discomfort. I pride myself in delivering treatments that are tailored toward the needs of each individual client. I am a good listener and I have excellent ‘listening hands’ that will find those problem areas and deal with them. The delivery of a therapeutic treatment that will actually make a difference to the physical well-being of each client is very important to me. It has been said that my treatments are very firm and extremely specific yet deeply relaxing and restorative. I uphold the ‘Code of Ethics’ as outlined by the MNZ.
Thanks for reading about me and what I can offer you soon. I look forward to meeting you.

What exactly is Reflexology?
This is a common question, and for those who are asking this question I can answer it simply by saying that “heaven awaits them”! This is one of my favourite treatments. It is simply blissful. Reflexology is a specific foot massage and an age-old treatment that was used by the Egyptians and is still around today. So there must be something in it. Reflexology follows the theory that the foot is like a map of the human body and therefore by treating the feet you are in effect treating the whole body. There are many reflex points on the feet that relate to different structures and functions of the body. The treatment involves a deeply relaxing foot massage with special attention to the many reflex points. The treatment routine takes 45 minutes. Reflexology combined with massage within the same treatment is a winning mix. If you are interested, try the Energy Booster, I swear by it and have had positive feedback about it for years. |
