Senior Massage Therapist
Introducing our Senior Massage Therapist – Chelsea Macintosh.
Chelsea graduated with a Bachelor of Health Science and a Diploma in Therapeutic & Sports Massage from New Zealand College of Massage in Auckland, 2009-2011. More recently she gained a Diploma in Myotherapy while working in Australia in 2019. She is also registered as a Southern Cross Massage Therapist.
She has spent most of her 13-year career practicing in multi-disciplinary clinics, alongside physiotherapists, chiropractors, podiatrists and orthopedic physicians which has allowed her to gain a wide range of skills with professional athletes as well as the everyday person.
Chelsea believes that massage is vital to continual wellbeing. By combining her caring nature, passion for the health industry and her knowledge of postural/muscular imbalances she builds a holistic plan for patients-targeting more than just the physical symptom of pain.
In her spare time, you’ll find her hiking or mountain biking with her husband, enjoying a coffee with friends or dabbling in a furniture restoration and/or a gardening project.
Studio Manager: Yoga and Pilates Instructor
Hannah is passionate about the mind-body-spirit connection and a holistic approach to wellbeing. She has always been interested in movement – originally with a passion for dance and then drawn to yoga more than a decade ago. Primarily for the physical benefits, she now experiences mental benefits and positive lifestyle changes. After completing significant training in Yoga and Meditation, she broadened her education with several other disciplines such as Mat and Reformer Pilates, Aerial, Barre, Spin, and Reiki Healing. Having experienced burnout and witnessed the world’s busyness, Hannah prefers to teach less rigorous classes with attention to balance, flexibility, and mobility (with a bit of spice when needed).
