My why behind face massage, in one word: health.

Supporting others to feel their best has always been my driver – for both Pilates and face massage. But behind face massage sits a deeper why.

At 40, I went into surgical menopause after having both ovaries removed due to another cancer scare. I instantly noticed things shifting in my body and my face, and I wanted to respond in a way that felt proactive, natural, and genuinely good for me. Not to fight it or mask it – but to support it.

I started practising face massage on myself, then received one from another practitioner and loved it. It felt like a holistic way of caring for my face and my health – not just how I look, but how I feel.

What the body holds, the face reveals. And what we release in the face, the body feels too. That's when I knew I wanted to train in it and offer it to others.

When I give a face massage, I feel genuinely honoured to work with people in such an intimate way. I notice the shift from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave. Something softens. They look relaxed, refreshed, serene. Happy.

This work is life-giving – for the person receiving it, and for me too.

I'd love to take care of you. Bookings are open via my website: themovementroom.co.nz 🌿

Mother's Day is this Sunday 💛

For the special person in your life who deserves a little time, that's entirely theirs. A Face Massage is a gift that goes deeper than skin deep – a genuine reset for the face, the nervous system, and the whole self.

I have gift vouchers available, just get in touch to organise one.

Hot tip: You don't have to wait for someone else to buy it for you. Treating yourself is just as meaningful, maybe even more so. 🌿

After a face massage, clients often share their different experiences - but a common theme always emerges:

✨“That is the most divine thing I have ever experienced! I feel so rejuvenated, relaxed, and calm.”
✨“I felt so safe to drop in and let go.”
✨“That was like a full nervous system reset.”
✨“That was like magic! I dropped in so quickly when, normally, I can’t at all.”
✨“I had the best sleep last night following the massage!”

Your face holds more than you think 🤍 You are safe to let go here.

If you’re seeking deep release and a gentle nervous system reset, this treatment is for you.

✨ Releasing the Masseter ✨

One of the strongest muscles in the body (based on its weight) sits in the jaw; the masseter muscle is responsible for closing the jaw and facilitating chewing.

When the masseter is tight from clenching, grinding, or stress, it can create jaw tension, headaches, and a widened or square appearance through the lower face.

My face massage treatments focus on melting that tension gently and intentionally.

Through slow, deep tissue massage, we encourage:
🌿 A softer jaw
🌿 Better lymphatic flow
🌿 Relaxation of the nervous system
🌿 A lighter and more open, balanced face shape

If you’ve been feeling tight through your jaw or noticing stress showing up in your face, this ritual is for you.

Send me a message to book or learn more.

✨ Introducing Face Sculpting Massage ✨

“What is Face Massage?”, I hear you ask!

Face Massage is a natural method that combines different techniques, including deep tissue massage, myofascial release, lymphatic drainage, gentle lifting movements, and acupressure. These techniques work together to release tension in the face, jaw, neck, and shoulders, improve circulation by delivering fresh blood and oxygen to your tissues, and encourage lymphatic flow.

While the visible results such as fine line reduction, contouring and instant facelifting are wonderful, this offering is soooo much more than visible results – it’s a powerful ritual for your skin, muscles, and overall wellbeing and promotes a natural and healthy approach to aging.

Benefits You’ll Love:
💗 Reduces puffiness and promotes a healthy glow
💗 Relieves jaw tension and headaches
💗 Stimulates collagen for firmer, lifted skin
💗 Supports detoxification and reduces inflammation
💗 Encourages deep relaxation and stress relief
💗 Improves sleep quality

If you would like to be one of the first to experience this divine ritual, please DM for more info or to make a booking. I’m offering a reduced rate between now and Christmas (gift vouchers also available).

I’m excited for you to experience this soon!

A fun class for a lovely hen’s group, bright and early (7am – their request!) on Saturday 🌅
People who prioritise movement like that are my kinda people 🙌

I loved witnessing the shift in energy at the end of the class, lots of smiles and laughing. It was so special to be part of their day 💙

I offer tailored sessions for private and corporate events and can travel to your location. Please get in touch if you would like to chat about an upcoming event.

Movement certainly is medicine ✨️

New offering alert: Pilates events 🙌

I recently had the pleasure of hosting a Pilates session (in a dreamy setting on the water’s edge, horses magically appearing from the water and strolling on by, no less) to kick off Ella’s Hen’s celebration. Together, we curated a nourishing morning that included mindfulness, meditation, and Pilates, rounded out by a small (and very much welcomed!) surprise and shared tea.

Thank you, Ella, for having me 😊 it was an honour to be a part of your celebrations. I love that movement is becoming a thing the morning of these celebrations to balance out the rest of the festivities. It’s a big YES from me!

Hosting events is a space I’ve wanted to move towards since I first began teaching, so I'm excited to see where things lead.

If you have an event coming up, please get in touch, I’d love to have a chat! I’m available for other types of celebrations/private and corporate events – I’m also happy to travel to you.

I can’t promise horses, but I can promise you will leave feeling goooood! 🐴 ✨️

Today, 8 years ago, I received a cancer diagnosis that changed the trajectory of my life. It’s always a very contemplative day for me, and this year, I decided to write. I still remember the events of the day so vividly, even 8 years on. Immediately after the diagnosis appointment, I had an MRI, where the technician innocently asked, “are you having a good day?”. Mum and I looked at each other in shock and replied, “not really, no”.

This year, I started the day with an early morning meditation where a few slow tears fell, followed by cuddles with my beautiful cats and a long walk with a coffee on the beach. I try to get to the beach for a walk on the 12th of July each year. This morning was one of those perfect, crisp, clear winter mornings that just can’t be beaten. A day that has been markedly better than the 12th of July 2016.

I like to read the plaques on the park benches and tables that have been donated by different families. Do you ever take the time to do that? It always makes me curious about other people’s stories. My favourite message of the morning simply read “sit a bit” (I didn’t because the seat was damp and cold 😂, but I appreciated the invitation nonetheless). It served as a reminder to slow down, take it all in, and appreciate. This morning, I certainly did.

Campbell said to me this morning with a big hug, “you’ve made it”. And I thought, yes, well, at least this far.
