Balance Massage is a massage and bodywork practice at 2 Sheehan Street in Ponsonby, Auckland. Its therapists, Lisa and Shelley, are registered with Massage New Zealand at Level 6, and the website says treatments may be claimable through Southern Cross Health Society with its Body Care Module. Services include massage, scar work to release tension, and a 20-minute express massage, which the website says is new. Reviewers also mention dry needling, Reiki and emotional code sessions. Children are treated too. Vouchers can be bought online and have no expiry date, though the website warns that a voucher recipient may not get a booking straight away due to demand. The practice also makes a bespoke muscle balm, which the website describes as made in New Zealand with organic ingredients.
Reviewers describe nurturing, attuned treatment, and say they feel safe and cared for. One is booked monthly, and another says soreness and tightness eased with massage and dry needling. Another praises the therapist's knowledge of anatomy. Of the three nearby massage therapists with ten or more reviews, none rates higher than this one, and Total Body Bliss, 0.2 km away, rates lower.
