Whether you're living with pain, recovering from injury or surgery, navigating cancer treatment, expecting a baby, or simply taking time to care for yourself, my goal is to provide safe, evidence-informed massage in a calm and welcoming environment.

How I Can Help
Whether you're seeking relief from pain, recovering from surgery, navigating cancer treatment, expecting a baby or simply taking time to care for yourself, there's a treatment tailored to your needs.

Personalised massage to relieve pain, restore movement and support your wellbeing.
Whether you're experiencing muscle tension, recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain or simply feeling the effects of a busy life, every treatment is tailored specifically to your individual needs.
Using a combination of therapeutic massage techniques and a caring, evidence-informed approach, I work with you to reduce pain, improve mobility, ease tension and help your body function at its best. Where appropriate and with your consent, your treatment may also incorporate techniques such as gentle cupping therapy, warm stones, myofascial release or assisted stretching to enhance your results.
No two treatments are the same. Every session is personalised to ensure you receive the care that is most appropriate for your body and your goals.
This is my most popular treatment and is suitable for most people.

Gentle, specialised massage for people affected by cancer.
Cancer and its treatments can place enormous demands on the body and mind. Oncology massage is a specialised form of massage that is carefully adapted to your diagnosis, treatment stage and individual needs.
Whether you're currently undergoing treatment, recovering from surgery or adjusting to life after cancer, every treatment is designed to be safe, gentle and supportive.
The focus isn't only on physical relief. Many clients also experience reduced anxiety, improved sleep, reduced pain and swelling, and a greater sense of wellbeing.
For your convenience, treatments are available at my Whanganui clinic or, if you're unable to travel, in the comfort of your own home. Mobile appointments are available throughout Whanganui and surrounding areas, allowing you to receive professional, compassionate care in a familiar and comfortable environment.
Suitable for:
During chemotherapy or radiation treatment
Before or after surgery
During recovery
Long-term survivorship
Treatment Options
30 minutes – Gentle, focused support for specific areas of concern.
60 minutes – A comprehensive treatment, carefully adapted to your comfort, energy levels and treatment goals.
If you're unable to travel to the clinic, mobile oncology massage is available by arrangement throughout Whanganui and surrounding areas.
Because every cancer journey is different, please contact Solace Therapeutics before booking your first mobile oncology massage. This gives us an opportunity to talk about your current treatment, individual needs and home environment, and make sure a mobile appointment is appropriate and comfortable for you.
A $20 mobile call-out fee applies to mobile appointments, in addition to the massage treatment fee.
If you're unsure whether oncology massage is right for you, or you'd like to talk through your individual needs, please get in touch. I'm happy to answer any questions and discuss how I can best support you.

Gentle therapeutic touch focused on comfort, dignity and quality of life.
Palliative massage is a gentle, nurturing treatment designed to improve comfort and support wellbeing for people living with a life-limiting illness.
Every treatment is carefully adapted to the individual's needs, energy levels and medical circumstances. The focus is not on deep tissue work, but on providing comfort, reducing tension, easing anxiety and creating a sense of calm.
Because many people receiving palliative care are unable to travel, mobile appointments are available in the comfort of your own home, hospice or care facility throughout Whanganui and surrounding areas. Clinic appointments are also available for those who are well enough to attend.
Treatment Options
Every person is different, and palliative massage doesn't need to fit into a standard treatment time. The length and approach of each appointment can be tailored to what the person needs on the day.
A treatment may be as simple as gentle massage of the hands, feet, scalp or other areas where touch feels comfortable, or may involve a longer, more comprehensive treatment.
Mobile Palliative Massage
If you or your loved one is unable to travel, mobile palliative massage can be provided in your home, hospice or care facility.
Because every person's circumstances are different, please contact Solace Therapeutics before booking a mobile palliative massage. This allows us to talk about your individual situation, location, current needs and what would make the treatment most comfortable.
A $20 mobile call-out fee applies to mobile appointments, in addition to the massage treatment fee.
Whether you're seeking comfort for yourself or support for someone you love, my goal is to provide compassionate, professional care that honours each person's journey with dignity, respect and kindness.
Please contact me to discuss how I can best support you or your loved one.
