Marina's Natural Health & Beauty is a natural health clinic on Mathias Street in Darfield, Selwyn, with a low-heat infrared sauna as one of its main draws. The clinic offers a long list of massage and body treatments, including Swedish, aromatherapy, hot stone, deep tissue, Indian head, back and neck massage, Bowen therapy, dry needling, cupping, scar tissue release and foot reflexology. It also offers beauty therapies, and uses EarthSentials skin care, which the website says is made from natural and organic ingredients and is cruelty-free. Nutrition, vitamin and mineral supplement advice is also given. The therapist says she has more than 25 years of experience, trained first in Vienna, and is a member of the New Zealand Association of Registered Beauty Therapists.
Customers say they go back for a range of health and beauty treatments and the infrared sauna, and some have been coming for over four years. They describe the therapist as kind, honest and generous with her knowledge, and say she goes the extra mile to make people feel valued. One customer had a stone massage and found it very informative, with the therapist explaining what was happening throughout. Reviewers mention the atmosphere and kindness most often. Calls are not always taken during a client appointment, and the website asks callers to leave a message.
