wellbeing support bodywork

Thank you for being here.

The connection between body and mind has been a deep passion of mine for many years. My work is grounded in the understanding that our bodies are constantly communicating with us, and that taking time to slow down, listen and reconnect can have a powerful impact on how we feel.

For many years, I worked in the corporate world, pushing through stress and often ignoring the signals my body was sending me. Like so many people, I became disconnected from what I really needed. A period of personal change led me to pause, reflect and explore a different way of living and being.

That journey led me into bodywork, mindfulness, yoga and other approaches to wellbeing. Through my own experiences and ongoing learning, I discovered a deep sense of purpose in helping others reconnect with their bodies and create space for greater ease, awareness and wellbeing.

Today, my work centres around holistic massage, myofascial release and yoga. Each offers a different pathway into reconnecting with the body — whether that is through therapeutic touch, the subtle unwinding of fascia, or the combination of breath and movement through yoga.

My approach is intuitive, focused and responsive to the individual. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to wellbeing, and I enjoy working with people to create sessions that meet them where they are.

Growing up in a sporty household gave me an early appreciation for the body’s capacity for movement, performance, recovery and healing. While I was involved in competitive sport growing up, my own focus has gradually shifted towards the grounding and restorative practices of yoga, walking and swimming. These practices are now an important part of my own wellbeing and continue to shape the way I work.

I love being amongst nature and the sense of grounding and perspective it brings. I feel incredibly grateful to live in the beautiful seaside village of Mōkau with my husband and our cat Tooley.

With love,
Pip
