Relaxation Massage

Relaxation massage focuses on offering a deeply soothing experience by releasing muscle tension, easing tight spots, and enhancing fluid flow throughout the body.

Relaxation Massage with Melissa Gardiner
This massage offers a nurturing touch that fosters deep relaxation & harmony in your whole being.

The massage can be customised to target specific areas or provide a full-body experience.

Relaxation massage offers a range of benefits for the body, mind and spirit. It helps to relax the body, relieving stress while promoting a sense of calm and ease. By increasing circulation and improving mobility, it can reduce pain and alleviate nerve tension.

This type of massage has been shown to lower blood pressure and support healthy sleep patterns. Additionally, relaxation massage helps align the body, balancing the nervous system and contributing to overall wellbeing.

It can also provide support for individuals managing chronic asthma, offering relief and promoting easier breathing.

My Training in Relaxation Massage

At the end of 2022, I completed my Diploma in Wellness and Relaxation Massage through The New Zealand College of Chinese Medicine in Auckland. I studied part time from home, begining February 2021. The study was rigorous, with self-paced learning, assessments and online exams. This Diploma involved traveling to Auckland for three intense weeks of practical assessments and physical exams, which culminated in working in a clinic space on the public. I am thrilled to now be a qualified Massage Therapist.

This modality has become increasingly meaningful to me, offering a soothing way to release tension through the healing power of touch. Healthy touch is fundamental to well-being, offering not only physical relief but also emotional comfort and a deeper sense of connection.

“I was blessed to have a massage with Melissa recently. I have chronic breathing issues that cause a lot of tension in my upper back. Melissa checked in regularly regarding pressure and comfort, and responded to my needs. Melissa provides a professional and person-focused service, in a comfortable and welcoming environment. I am amazed to say I can still feel the benefits of her massage to my upper back a full 2 weeks later!! I totally recommend having a massage with Melissa.”

“If you are looking for a massage that provides relief for the body and Soul, book in with Melissa. She has many tools to maximise your massage experience. My last massage she also included some CranioSacral Therapy as my body needed this to help me move through some stuck energy. Melissa provides a safe space for your body, Soul and emotions to release and start the healing journey. Thank you for sharing your many beautiful gifts. My mind, my body and my Soul thanks you.”
