About Us

  • As a certified Deep Tissue practitioner, my goal is to provide a psychologically and physically rejuvenating experience in a calming environment. In addition to helping relieve pain, DTM improves blood circulation, reduces stress, and breaks down scar tissue.
  • Hormone levels are redistributed during the treatment, causing an increase in peaceful, happy hormones (such as dopamine) and decreasing stress hormones (like cortisol). This assists in relieving tension during and after the session. While there may be slight discomfort during a session, the experience will be healing for your mind and body.

Massage that is more than skin deep. Experience a massage treatment that is tailored to your needs. Its time to nurture YOU.
Deep tissue massage therapy treats the superficial and deep layers of the muscles in the body focusing on deep pressure and slow strokes, with reflexology techniques to break up deep layers of fascia muscles that support the body’s connective tissue. Working with deeper layers breaks up scar tissue to underpin circulation and improve blood flow with each consultation. Regular treatment will ultimately enhance flexibility and discomfort, reducing pain and restricted mobility.

What our clients say about us

Kotare Intuitive Therapies, The whole experience right from the get-go was SO amazing. Kari was extremely welcoming and made me feel comfortable before the massage even started. She is knowledgeable, attentive, and skilled. She massaged areas I didn’t know were holding tension, and I felt so much better when I left. I’m a regular customer now.

I am a regular old Kiwi bloke so I haven't had a lot of massages. I went with my wife to Kari from Kotare. Wow, the setting, the care, and the deep tissue massage made me feel like a millionaire. Being a bloke, I needed to feel comfortable which I did, and then Kari helped me relax so much I had to resist dropping off to sleep on the table. That would have been a waste of very therapeutic experience which helped these old muscles and joints free up and relax. I am a fan and will be back.

My Kotare Intuitive therapy experience was very special. The peaceful calming environment set the tone for such a beneficial time. Kari is very warm, thoughtful and sensitive to any problem areas so I felt very much at ease during the massage. I left feeling so relaxed after a refreshing cup of parsley tea. And certainly feel it helped relieve my trouble spots...so much so I will be going back again.

I have had many varied massages over the years, as I enjoy them so much and know they are therapeutic. Recently I had a different experience with Kari. First of all she wanted to know of any problem areasahead of the appointment, so that she could plan her massage technique to suit. Then, instead ofthe usual often repetitive relaxation music, there was silence. This was to allow concentration oncorrect breathing. I know I am not the only one who is remiss in this. I had not experienced some of the techniques used before. The massage was thorough and totallyenjoyable, and the hour was over far too soon! I would highly recommend Kari to anyone wanting to give their body a treat to remember.

Kari provides a beautiful and comfortable space for deep-tissue massage. I was impressed with her pre-massage communication and questions, and also whilst receiving the massage - Kari explained what she was doing, and checked in with me regarding pressure. She gives a fantastic massage and I will enjoy being a regular client!

I highly recommend this place! I was lucky to catch a special offer for a one-hour massage, and it was absolutely worth it. I go to massages quite often and try different salons, but this one really stood out. The atmosphere is warm and relaxing, and Kari is such a kind and welcoming professional. The massage was excellent — I left feeling refreshed and relaxed. Definitely give it a try and see for yourself!

Frequently Asked Questions

Reiki is a gentle, hands-on energy healing practice that promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and helps balance the body’s energy. It supports physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being by clearing energy blockages, restoring harmony, and encouraging natural healing processes.

During a Reiki session, you’ll be fully clothed and lying comfortably while the practitioner gently places their hands over or near different areas of your body. Many clients feel warmth, tingling, or a deep sense of relaxation as energy flows, often resulting in feelings of peace and clarity after the session.

The number of sessions depends on your individual needs and goals. Some people feel benefits after just one session, while others may choose to attend regular sessions for ongoing support in managing stress, emotional healing, or personal growth.

Chakra balancing involves aligning the body’s seven energy centers, which can become blocked or imbalanced due to stress or emotional challenges. Balanced chakras allow life-force energy to flow freely, enhancing physical health, emotional stability, and mental clarity.

Yes, absolutely! Many people feel called to learn Reiki to support their own healing journey or to share it with others. Our accredited Reiki courses guide you through the process, offering you the knowledge and certification to practice Reiki, whether for personal or professional purposes.
