Experienced bodywork therapist
Victoria is warm, outgoing and loves people. She gets great enjoyment from building meaningful relationships and seeing people's health and wellbeing improve. Her goal is always that you will feel better walking out the door than when you came in.
Professional practitioner
Victoria has been practicing bodywork and natural health coaching in central Wellington since 2008. In addition to over 6 years of study in natural health sciences, she draws upon over a decade of advanced practice in Yoga, Taiji (Tai Chi), Qigong, running, and nutrition.
Her foundational philosophy to health is that the body's natural state is to be healthy and balanced. Through acupuncture, massage and lifestyle advice, we can work to bring straying health back towards equilibrium, by enhancing the body's innate ability to heal.
Victoria has experience in treating hundreds of clients from her central city practice in Woodward Street as an advanced massage therapist dealing mostly with musculo-skeletal and mental-emotional conditions. Since completing her degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2018, she has added acupuncture and Chinese medicine to her scope of practice.
Support for range of conditions
Victoria works with a range of clients; some regular and ongoing for years, others have a series of treatments to address a particular need, some people come for a one-off session, or any combination of the above. At the beginning of every session she checks in with how you are on the day, progress made, what you need or want, then carry out the appropriate treatment. This may include any or all of the therapeutic tools from her tool kit.
