Emma-Kate is a massage therapist in Newlands, Wellington, who also offers well-being coaching. She has more than 20 years' experience, and her work is aimed at relaxing, recovering and easing aches. Her treatments include sports recovery massage, trigger point work for tight muscles and chronic injury, hot stone massage, and a face massage. Sessions are offered in 30, 45, 60 and 90 minute lengths, and a bespoke mindfulness add-on can be booked with a massage.
Pregnancy and postpartum massage are a focus. Pregnancy sessions use a custom-made table or pregnancy pillows for comfort, and Emma-Kate says she is herself a mother of three. Postpartum massage aims to ease pain, promote relaxation and reduce stress. Resilience coaching runs as a 3- or 6-month package, and a free 20-minute coaching call lets people see whether the coaching suits them before they commit. Coaching sessions can be booked only by clients on those packages.
