Melissa Harrington

I have always been interested in health promotion and wellness, and I felt massage had so many physical and psychological benefits to offer. Massage also appealed to me because it is a modality that can be adapted to almost everyone!

I completed my Diploma in Therapeutic Massage at the Canterbury College of Natural Medicine. I have also completed many workshops that allow me to tailor my treatments to individual needs; these include Ka Huna massage (Hawaiian), Reiki I & II, Indian Head massage and Holistic Pulsing. I am also currently part way though a Certificate in Advanced Sports massage which focus’s on treating common sporting injuries.

I enjoy dealing with general wellness promotion, stress reduction, enhancing relaxation, reducing chronic pain complaints and specific treatment of problematic muscles.  I enjoy working closely with people to ensure that their goals are achieved.

I believe the human body has a natural ability to heal itself; this has led to a strong interest in the relationship between our mental/emotional state and our physical well being.   I am passionate about working with people to help them achieve maximum wellness and enjoyment of life.
