“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!”

Su di noi

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

1-hour Deep tissue massage

A deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique designed to target deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. This treatment involves firm pressure and slow, deliberate strokes to release chronic muscles tension, improve circulation, and promote overall relaxation. Incorporating trigger point therapy, the massage specifically addresses localised areas of muscle tightness-commonly refers to as knots-which can cause referred pain and discomfort. By applying focused pressure to these trigger points, the therapist helps release tension, restore mobility, and alleviate pain. This approach is highly beneficial for individuals experiencing chronic pain, muscle stiffness, or recovering from physical activity. Deep tissue massage is particularly effective for relieving stress-related tension, improving posture, and supporting overall musculoskeletal health.

1-hr Myofascial release

Myofascial release is a specialized therapeutic technique that focuses on relieving tension and restriction in the fascia-the dense connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, veins, and organs. This treatment involves the application of sustained, gentle pressure to areas of tightness and dysfunction, allowing the fascia to soften, lengthen, and restore its natural flexibility. Unlike traditional massage, myofascial release does not rely on oil or fast movements. Instead, the therapist applies slow deliberate pressure to specific areas of restriction, holding for extended periods to encourage the gradual release of tension. This approach helps improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance overall movement patterns. Myofascial release is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing chronic pain, postural imbalance, limited range of motion, or muscle stiffness. It is commonly used for conditions such as fibromyalgia, repetitive strain injuries, and postural misa
