About Mauri Oranga

A Polynesian and Hawaiian massage practice on the third floor at 1 Milton Road in Bluff Hill, Napier. The practice is run by Christa Thoma, and serves adults, children and babies. Craniosacral therapy is offered for adults, children and babies, along with massage and other therapies. The practice also serves Hastings and Clive, and the wider Hawke's Bay.

The main treatment is Ka Huna bodywork, a Polynesian form of massage that uses the hands, forearms and elbows in rhythmic movements. It is combined with sea shell healing, or with Lomi Lomi massage. A pregnancy massage is offered for expectant mothers, on a table designed for them. Sessions are 60, 90 or 120 minutes, and the client chooses the length. The practice says the sessions can bring relaxation, balance and emotional release.
