Kotare Intuitive Therapy is a therapy practice in Warkworth, on Bertram Street, in the Rodney district north of Auckland. It offers deep tissue massage, along with reiki healing, life coaching, chakra balancing, sound healing, meditation and energy healing.
The deep tissue massage is the main treatment on the website. The practice describes it as targeting the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, with slow, firm strokes and reflexology techniques. The pressure is varied to suit each client, and some discomfort during a session is described as normal. The practice says the work can help with chronic pain, muscle stiffness and tension, and scar tissue.
Clients who have written reviews describe the therapist as welcoming, skilled and attentive. One said she was asked about problem areas before the session so she could plan the massage. Another said the setting felt calming and that a cup of parsley tea was offered afterwards. The reviews also mention that the session was quiet, with no background music.
