… & THIS IS MY STORY x
I’m excited to have you on the Drift Away Journey with me.
I grew up in Tauranga before moving to Wellington, and returning to Auckland in 1999. We now call Auckland home and have two amazing sons who I am incredibly proud of.
I began my journey into Massage and trained at NZ College of Massage. After graduating in Relaxation Massage I naturally fell into the Health & wellness sector & after completing my Pregnancy Massage Training I knew I had found my passion!
I work from my heart and approach my work with a great deal of empathy and understanding - what I love is that all of my modalities compliment the other, so I can work alongside and support you whatever stage you are in, providing Relaxation Massage to anyone who needs it, mobile massage, corporate chair massage, Doula Support or working with expectant and new mums helping them relax and rejuvenate their bodies with the added ability to incorporate massage during labour & birth.

I approach each client relationship with unconditional and non-judgmental support. As my roles are varied and change from one day to the next, I can offer empathy, guidance, a friendly face & a listening ear, a hug if ever needed, and a wee slice of humor, for good measure.
In a birthing or massage environment I believe in informed consent with all of my clients & and expectant mothers. My passion is creating a safe space for women to recognize their incredible strength and freedom to find their own voice both during and after birth. I recognise the challenges & anxieties that many new parents face & working with new mummas and pappas to be the best version of themselves as they navigate their way as new parents. Please don’t be afraid to contact me no matter what support you need & what direction/choices you are taking during your pregnancy.
It is an honour and privilege to be invited in and part of your Relaxation and Pregnancy journey
