I have been self-employed as a Sports Massage Therapist since 2006. Iam fully qualified and trained at the NZ College of Massage, Auckland.

I am currently working with the NZ All Blacks for the Tri Nations and the 2011 Rugby World Cup for pre and post recovery massage sessions. I am also working with members of the Chinese Track and Field Team heading to the World Athletic Champs for 2011 in Korea. They are currently in NZ training with Kirstin Hellier - NZ Halberg Coach 2009/10.

Iam also working with other international sports teams such as the Wallabies,Italian rugby team during the World Cup and the England Netball team for the tri series against the NZ Silver Ferns 2011.

I specialise in working with elite and recreational athletes, corporate customers, customers referred on from Physiotherapists for specialised rehabilitation,customers with disabilities, flexibility issues and aching muscles. Massage can treat the majority of such minor problems quickly and effectively.
