ABOUT ME

In 1991 a night school course sparked my interest in massage, and over the years I worked on numerous friends and family members, later formalising my training with a Certificate in Massage (Sports Massage) at the New Zealand College of Massage. 

​

For many years I practised full time in East Auckland, trading as Botany Muscle Therapy, but have now relocated to beautiful Taupō and Botany Muscle Therapy is of course now Taupō Muscle Therapy!

​

Over the years I have participated in many sporting events, including 5 x IRONMAN NZ and 1 x IRONMAN Canada. This gives me a unique understanding of the challenges that endurance athletes face in keeping their bodies in top condition, and what we can do to assist in this process. In the past I have been part of the massage team at IRONMAN New Zealand, Round Taupō Cycle Challenge and a number of other cycling and running events.​

​

While cyclists, runners and triathletes are naturally my specialty, I also provide a great relaxation massage for the non-athlete too.
