Sarah Till Holistic is a massage practice for women, by appointment only, at 153 Te Mata Mangateretere Road, just outside Havelock North in the Hastings district. The practice is run by Sarah Till, who came to massage from a decade of growing and arranging flowers, and she brings that interest in scent and calm into the treatments, which use botanical oils.
Sessions are built to calm the nervous system, ease physical tension and support women who are dealing with chronic stress, burnout, perimenopause or menopause. Holistic pregnancy massage is offered from the end of the first trimester, which is 12 weeks. Reiki energy work can be combined with the massage. The practice says its work complements medical care rather than replacing it.
Sarah writes a newsletter called Gentle Reflections, with occasional notes on rest and balance. Photos of the work are on her Instagram and Facebook pages.
