Luna Therapeutic is a one-person massage practice run by Rebecca, a Wellington therapist who trained as a dancer. Her background is in anatomy, kinesiology and the Feldenkrais method, and she spent years as a professional dancer, fitness instructor and dance teacher. She saw massage help dancers keep their bodies working over the long term, and she now uses that approach in her practice.
She holds a Therapeutic Massage Certificate from the Wellington School of Massage Therapy, gained in 2019. She was also the massage therapist at Karori Chiropractic from January 2023 to May 2024. The practice works with deep tissue techniques and therapeutic massage for muscle tightness, pain and scar tissue, and it is also suited to recovery and general wellbeing.
Sessions are offered in Tawa and in Kelburn. The practice asks clients to report any cold, flu, fever or sore throat symptoms, and any close contact with a confirmed COVID case, before booking. Massage is not booked after a recent broken bone, sprain, disc injury or concussion, and clients with serious or chronic health conditions, or who are pregnant, are asked to check with their doctor first. Vouchers can be arranged by enquiry.
The practice is at 1 Thomas Hook Street, Tawa, Wellington.
Our pick in Tawa for a therapist who understands anatomy from both the dance floor and the treatment table.
