Treatments
Welcome to BodyTonic in the heart of Silverstream, Upper Hutt.
I offer a variety of different treatments from varying modalities such as - Remedial Massage, Relaxation Massage, Myofascial Therapy, Dry Needling, Facial Needling, Bowen Therapy and Reflexology. Having a broad skillset enables me to adapt to change by finding the best solution for you, be it physical, emotional or even spiritual. Depending on what you present with, my main aim is to make positive changes to your condition. It may be that you want to feel more balanced (physically or emotionally), have a better range of movement and be pain free - whatever your goal.
I started out on my holistic health training journey as a Personal Trainer back in 2016 and worked as a PT for just over a year. I then undertook training in Remedial Massage Therapy (and related modalities). And over the following 9 years, which takes me to 2026, I have continued training in other health related modalities. In fact, over the 9 years, there have only been a few months at a time where I haven't been on a course! I'm always upskilling and refreshing my skills so that I can try to help with an array of presentations. Knowing what I know and have learnt - I keep within my scope of practice to make sure that you are in safe hands. If I cannot treat you I will refer you to someone that can.
Remedial massage, dry needling, cupping therapy, myofascial therapy and Bowen therapy are modalities that are cater to musculoskeletal disorders, although the same can be said for Reflexology and relaxation Massage which are more subtle in nature and are more targeted to emotional imbalances and general discomfort of the muscles. However, this totally depends on the individual, each person's condition is very much case by case and will be treated in this way.
Facial needling is aimed at rejuvenating the facial skin by aiming to brighten, firm the tone of the skin and can help with fine lines. However, this does not take precedence over an unhealthy diet. Skin health is built from the inside out.
Here are my qualifications thus far, not including shorter courses and workshops I've attended.
Dip. Health Science (Acupuncture and TCM)
Dip. Remedial Massage
Bowen Therapy Practitioner
Reflexology Practitioner
Cert. Structural Integration
Cert. Dry Needling
The client space is based out of my home clinic in Silverstream, Upper Hutt. The client space is separate from the rest of the home and offers a quiet lounge and bathroom.
I welcome you with a friendly smile and warm hospitality. I look forward to seeing you soon! Lorna.
