Massage

A Journey to Balance and Relaxation!

At Mama Whānau, we offer a unique and deeply nurturing pregnancy massage service designed to help māmā find balance and relaxation during this special journey.

Our mission is to provide an experience that leaves you feeling not only relaxed but truly amazing.

We believe that taking a moment for yourself, indulging in self-care, and finding balance are essential for the well-being of both you and your baby.

Our pregnancy massage sessions are crafted to be a sanctuary of tranquility. I use techniques that soothe aching muscles, reduce stress, and promote a deep sense of relaxation.

Pregnancy can be a whirlwind of emotions and changes. Our massage is designed to balance your energy, helping you feel centered and in touch with your inner self.

Whakanoa Te Whare Tangata

A postpartum healing massage grounded in my Māori values and traditions.

This deeply nourishing postpartum experience is a ceremonial space for māmā to be supported, realigned, and honoured after birth.

Inspired by my own Māori heritage and guided by the values of aroha, whanaungatanga, and manaakitanga, Whakanoa Te Whare Tangata is a heartfelt offering created to acknowledge the sacred journey of carrying and birthing life. It is a time for māmā to return to themselves — body, mind, and spirit — through gentle romiromi, intention, and connection.

This experience includes:

Karakia to open and close the space.

Guided romiromi using warm kawa oil infused with mānuka to support physical healing and inflammation

Taonga pūoro (traditional instruments), including ocean shells to soothe the nervous system and deepen the connection to your postpartum journey

Beautiful kowhaiwhai wraps are used to gently embrace your body, helping to realign and restore balance.

Gentle kōrero and space for reflection, storytelling and release.

This is more than a massage - it’s a personal and spiritual rite of reconnection - a space where māmā can feel seen, supported, and grounded.

Whether your birth was recent or many years ago, this experience is for every māmā who feels called to return home to herself.
