About us

I have always been interested in massage and potion making. As a young girl growing up in England, I would gather rose petals, put them in a jar of water, and leave them in the sun. Now I know this as a simple method of infusion.

I attended a Masonic boarding school for girls. I loved sports at school and was voted captain for netball, hockey, swimming, drama, and tennis. I was also a house prefect, voted head of house. I was the school swimming champion and still enjoy swimming.

As an adult, I left the corporate world to become a full-time mum. I found myself needing some mental stimulation and took an aromatherapy massage course with Dr Vivian Lunny. I found this course fascinating, and began incorporating what I had learnt into my life and family.

Integrated body therapist - Massage, Aromatherapy, Bach Flower Remedies, Reiki, Coaching

I have been practicing as a massage therapist since 1996. Over the years, I have also gained various qualifications in alternative therapies, giving me a wide spectrum of experience to call upon as an integrated body worker.

I really enjoy working with your body, mind, and soul. My goal is to help you feel better – nurturing you into a space of perfect alignment.

Your mind will become clearer and calmer, allowing you to make good life choices. Your soul will come into a place of deep stillness, allowing you to receive intuitive guidance directly from me as I work with every part of you.

I am clairsentient, which means I will “feel” where I need to work, whether it is with your body, mind or soul. The outcome will always be the same: you will experience the healing energy of a highly skilled integrated body worker.

Work place - Lower Hutt

My clinic is in Woburn, Lower Hutt. It is private, the perfect place to relax and take time out for yourself. The clinic has an en suite.

My first priority at the House of Oils is to help you to feel better. Come to my clinic in Woburn, and let me massage your stress away. You will leave feeling calm and refreshed, and with renewed energy. Revitalise your mind and your body. Prices start from $85 for a one hour massage.

Massage therapy: Work massage, Wellington region

Shoulder pain and stress are common workplace complaints. I am mobile, and available to come to your place of work. I spend five to ten minutes soothing away the tension in your muscles. Get a group of your colleagues together and I will help you create a more relaxed working environment.  Prices start from $7.50 for five minutes. Corporate massage enquiries are welcome.

Infant massage

I teach parents and caregivers how to massage infants. Infant massage is a fantastic way to bond with your child. It can also help to relax your baby, improve your baby’s sleep patterns, and aid digestion. I especially recommend baby massage to fathers, who may not have as much time with their infant as they might like. To learn more about infant massage, visit the International Association of Infant Massage website.

Alternative therapies

I offer a number of alternative therapies, including Bach Flower Remedies, reiki, spiritual guidance, and Dorn therapy (which helps with sciatic pain). There is no “typical” session with me. I will discuss your particular needs and arrange the length of session and regularity of sessions to enable you to experience your maximum health and well-being.

Testimonial

Strategic Intervention

“I was struggling with trying to figure out the next step in my career. I had been stuck in a place of feeling almost ready to launch a new campaign and Christene instantly identified what was standing in my way— my own lack of self confidence. With Christene’s help I created a stronger connection to my business and took immediate action which resulted in 7 new connections within just a few days. As a result of working with her I’m feeling empowered and motivated to put myself out there to promote my new program. Thank you Christene!” —Karin Franz, Functional Medicine Nutrition Practitioner 3/5/2017
