Welcome to Manaaki Massage

Kia ora, I’m Clara, the founder and therapist behind Manaaki Massage - a practice dedicated to offering compassionate, effective, and intuitive bodywork.

The name Manaaki comes from the Māori word meaning to care, support, respect, and uplift, and it’s at the heart of everything I do. My approach to massage is guided by a deep sense of intuition - listening to both your body and mine, allowing me to work with the flow of energy and tension in a way that is both purposeful and healing.

I specialise in:

Deep Tissue & Trigger Point Therapy: Helping to release chronic tension, pain, and stress.
Myofascial Release: A gentle, intuitive approach to release tight fascia and restore flexibility and mobility.
Relaxation Massage: Designed to calm the mind, reduce stress, and promote a profound sense of relaxation.
Every session is tailored to your specific needs. By tuning into your body’s signals, I work to unlock areas of discomfort and restore balance. My work isn’t just about addressing physical symptoms, but also about cultivating a space where you can truly relax and reconnect with yourself.

When I’m not working, you’ll often find me on the Fiordland trails, running, hiking, biking, or swimming — activities that allow me to recharge and reconnect with nature. The energy and clarity I gain from these outdoor pursuits flow into my practice, deepening my intuition and ability to provide care.

Manaaki Massage is an invitation to pause, listen, and honor your body. I look forward to supporting you on your wellness journey, helping you to feel more aligned, relaxed, and at ease.

Thank you for visiting. I’m excited to work with you.

- Clara

A great deep tissue & trigger point massage. Thanks Clara.  

Clara was very professional, friendly and found all the spots that needed working on. The pressure was good so my muscles were able to be worked on without feeling tense. I would recommend her and I have rebooked.

Used a voucher for a relaxation massage, it was bliss! Highly recommend this option for that hard to buy for person everyone has in their lives.  Lovely setting. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Every session with Clara feels great, and her experience really shows. She’s knowledgeable, consistent, and has become one of those lifestyle habits I truly value. Until next time! Fab :)

A wonderful relaxing massage - just what I needed to help me wind down before the weekend.  Thanks so much.

Amazing massage as always, thanks Clara! 

Clara has such a lovely space and is always so good at what she does!!

Always a highlight of my day going to Manaaki Massage! 
I always walk out feeling completely reset, body and mind. From the moment you arrive you feel genuinely looked after, and the whole space is so warm and relaxing. She truly lives up to the name. If you're in Te Anau and need a massage, you won't find better. Five stars doesn't feel like enough!
Thanks Clara!

I would ideally rate this service ten stars. Clara provided exceptional service, and I highly recommend it.

Worked extra on the areas that I said were tight. Great pressure, nice and relaxing

Always feel so much better after seeing Clara. A nice deep massage!!!

I booked the one and a half hour deep tissue massage as I was suffering from pain in my shoulders and neck. It was amazing, one week later and I’m still feeling the benefits of my massage. A wonderful relaxing experience, I’ll be back! 

Excellent massage therapist, would highly recommend. 

The most gentle relaxing massage I've ever had! Clara is lovely and makes the whole experience calming and soothing. Highly recommend.

Just wonderfully floaty.. and a reminder to get a message more often.. I'll be back next week!

Brilliant as always. Clara knows her stuff. I’ve had a lot of  different massages over the years due to my fibromyalgia.  And Clara is one of the best.  Very knowledgeable when it comes to knowing muscle groups.  Just amazing 

Very attentive massage! Responsive to client needs. So relaxing 😌  can't wait for the next one.

Great massage. Professional, relaxing, and exactly what I needed. Left feeling so refreshed. I highly recommend!

This is the second massage I’ve had with Clara and she’s been fantastic both times. I really appreciate the slower, more gradual approach she uses when working into tight muscles - it helps you relax properly rather than tense up through the treatment. She’s also extremely knowledgeable about the body, recovery, and training, and offers thoughtful, practical advice along the way. Highly recommend & I wish I lived closer!

Absolutely amazing! Thank you Clara, it was like time stopped, my 1 hour session felt like the clock stopped and I got 2 hours! I love the passion you have for Aotearoa and also your Mahi 🥰 

I had a relaxation massage with Clara and it was truly wonderful. My body felt completely relaxed and my mind was so calm after her one-hour session. I highly highly recommend Manaaki Massage.

Wonderful massage - Clara was thorough, friendly and professional. Highly recommend :)

Exactly what I needed. A deep tissue massage that released a lot of tension, especially in my legs, thank you!

Not only have I had two glorious massages with Clara, but today my mum came in - she has a consistently sore back and today she has felt NO PAIN after the magic that Clara spun in her hour massage. Thank you Clara for mum’s best NZ massage ❤️

Clara, thank you so much for this exceptional massage! After hiking the TA I was very sore and you were able to relieve my whole body from all the soreness!
Really appreciate it a lot.

Clara is very thorough and a great therapist. I will go back for more.

Loved every moment....so relaxed and I smelled so beautiful afterwards that my kids did not want to let go of me. I will be back for more "me" pampering. Thank you thank you 

A lovely, relaxed approach with attention to specific areas requiring extra work. Great to have such a service locally!

Awesome, best Ive ever had. I got out there feeling better about life

Clara did a great job at fixing my back ! Her deep massage really helped me and relieved me from the pain. She unlocked all the knots I had in my back and I could do a hike the next day ! Thanks you very much 

Very friendly  and probably the best massage i got in a very long time.. I will be back definitely
Thanks

If you're dealing with a literal pain in the neck, go see Clara! I went in with a nasty upper body injury and she worked absolute magic. Her vibe is so calm, and she has this incredible knack for finding exactly where the tension is hiding. I walked out feeling like a new person, way more mobile. Seriously, treat yourself to a session at Manaaki Massage; your body will thank you!

Lucky to get a last minute appointment with Clara. After assessment, she worked on my damaged shoulder and upper back with great care and precision.

This lady is highly skilled in deep tissue massage, trigger point work (myofascial release) and remedial massage. 

Strongly recommend! 

Clara listened to everything I needed from a treatment and tailored everything to give me an hour of much needed release and relief. She is absolutely lovely and her compassion shines through in her work. Thank you Clara ❤️

Great massage.  I'll definitely be back.  Thank you!

Great Massage, helpt me to get rid of my sore walking feet. 

Just loved the whole experience, from being welcomed at the door by Clara, the massage was awesome. Looking forward to next time. Thank you. 

A lovely massage with Clara today. She eased all my tight muscles with just the right pressure, and I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. A wonderful experience, as always!

Hands down the best - Clara is skilled, respectful, listens and responds to your needs. Highly recommended.

Fantastic massage, really worked through my aches and pains. Would highly recommend!

I’ve been seeing Clara for about a year now and what a difference it’s made.  I do a lot of hiking and biking and she keeps my muscles in check.  Adjusting styles to what’s needed, I cannot recommend her enough.

Calm and therapeutic while targeting problem areas…looking forward to maintenance sessions with Clara.

Clara always provides a relaxing atmosphere and amazing massage with the perfect amount of pressure. 

I went to Clara for the first time today and found her to be outstanding in her field.  Couldn't be happier.  I had instant relief from chronic shoulder pain.  I would totally recommend her and will be back!  Thank you!

My massage was just what i needed, Clara is very skilled and able to find all the niggly spots. The atmosphere was relaxed and soothing. Thank you Clara!

Wonderful!! A much needed deep tissue massage after days of hiking. Clara was fantastic finding every pressure point to alleviate pain. Incredibly knowledgeable! I highly recommend.

I had just finished the Kepler track and was extremely sore, Clara made some time for me and was excellent, extremely talented and got me back on my feet for Milford the next day. She was wonderful. Highly recommended. 

In this world we give each other's stars to rank a service, but I also want to acknowledge here your talent, kindness, attention to details when you work on our sore bodies, will carry you far ! 
Always here for you, sore, you'll never be out of business 🤣

Loved my deep-tissue massage with Clara today. She has an intuitive touch and a natural ability to sense what the body needs. Her warm, easy rapport instantly puts you at ease. I even felt relief in my sacroiliac joint when I went for a walk later this afternoon. 
Highly recommend looking after your mind and  body by paying her a visit. 

A wonderful massage! The temp of the  room was perfect, music was lovely and I was left feeling lighter and relaxed afterwards.  

Exquisite deep tissue manipulation to rectify muscles from my good living or bad habits. Aligned and walking away taller and more serene. Thanks!

Excellent massage…..I feel very revived - thank you !!

absolutely amazing deep tissue massage! I walked out feeling like a new person. The pressure was perfect and Clara knew how to find and release all the tight spots. Highly recommend if you need a proper reset! 

Clara is a skilled massage therapist who always knows what my body needs. I feel great after every session.

Thanks my back and hips are feeling a lot better now.


Massage was so good for a very stiff and sore body.  Clara  listens to your needs and what's sore.

Amazing massage, really firm, finding pressure points and releasing tension. Definitely recommend seeing Clara!

Professional, knowledgeable and amazing as always. I can’t recommend Clara enough!

I have been going to Clara for a long time and she has always done an excellent job. Very professional in her approach, relaxing atmosphere and quality massage every time.

My massage with Clara was just what I needed. She listened to me while I explained what my " problem" was and she used her massage expertise to work on that area of my body. Thanks so much Clara. 

First class as always. Clara always manages to "hit the spot" Her unique combination of gentle intuition and practical knowledge always makes me feel like a new person after an appointment.  We are very fortunate to have her in Te Anau, highly reccommend.

Fantastically specific massage, honing in on exact areas of issue, with excellent results. Clara always has a smiling friendly face too. 

Manaaki Massage is the perfect place to go and get your knots unwound. The deep tissue massage was amazing, and could  it have too sore as I’m booked on again next week. Highly recommended. 

Just what I needed, Clara really helped with my tight back! 

Clara is amazing at what she does! Whether it's a relaxation massage, postural assessment or deep tissue. She always treats you with professionalism, listens to any concerns you might have and leaves you feeling amazing after any treatment. Highly recommend Clara 😊

Clara is amazing. I have a back injury and after a quick chat about what’s bothering me, Clara knows exactly what to do. I always feel so much better in the days following my appointment. 

I haven't felt so relaxed in ages! I liked the balance between working on tight muscles and relaxation. Very professional and good value. See you again!

My massage with Clara was excellent.  Just the right amount of pressure was used to unlock my lower back.
Thankyou

I think I’m actually taller now 🤪

Thanks for attention to winter tightness  & hitting those tight knots I was living with!

Yet again Clara worked her magic! Highly recommend for a  professional luxury service 

Clara’s great! She’s knows what she’s doing and really good and finding those pressure points 

Clara is an outstanding massage therapist.  Every aspect of the hour long relaxation massage today was perfect.

Excellent first experience. Very professional. 

Amazing thank you Clara! Perfect pressure & attention to every niggle and tight bit

Another great massage with Clara. She knew which muscles needed sorting and was very helpful in discussing where she thinks the problem lies and next steps.  Thanks Clara…I’ll be back

Clara is absolutely lovely and gives amazing massages! 

Best massage ever. Clara is amazing. Fully recommend Manaaki.

Totally focused throughout the massage which is awesome. Firm massage is applied where required, ironing out the areas of muscle tension. Very effective session for the body.
