Deep Tissue, Pre & Post Natal and Baby Massage by Bette
Massage, tailored to you.
Every session is personalised to what your body needs on the day. A relaxing head and neck massage can be woven into any treatment.
Pregnancy massage
Gentle, safe techniques for all stages of pregnancy to relieve back pain, hip discomfort, swelling and fatigue. A lovely way to improve sleep and relaxation and create a calm connection between you and your baby.
Post-natal massage
Supports recovery after birth and eases back, neck and shoulder strain from feeding and lifting. Helps balance hormones, lift your mood, promote faster healing and restore your energy.
Baby massage small groups of 3 to 4
In small groups we massage baby together and you learn gentle techniques to support healthy growth and development, soothe colic and improve sleep. A beautiful way to strengthen bonding and communication.
Consultations
Support for women with negative or traumatic birth experiences, second opinions and answers to midwifery questions. With 35+ years of midwifery experience, I offer a chance to understand and process difficult birth experiences.
Lymphatic drainage massage
A gentle, rhythmic massage that stimulates the lymphatic system to reduce fluid retention and swelling, support your immune system and help the body clear waste. Light and soothing, it aids recovery and leaves you feeling refreshed.

Caring hands, a whole lot of heart.
Hi, I'm Bette, a qualified massage therapist with a passion for helping people move more freely, reduce pain, and restore balance to their bodies. I specialise in deep tissue, pre and post-natal and baby massage; tailoring every treatment to your individual needs. My approach is gentle, intuitive, and focused on supporting your body's natural ability to heal.
Before becoming a massage therapist, I spent over 35 years as an independent midwife and midwifery educator in The Netherlands and New Zealand. This is where I discovered the remarkable benefits of therapeutic touch and massage and this is the reason why I also offer consultations. Having supported nearly 2,500 births, I bring decades of experience, empathy, and a deep understanding of the body into every treatment. Each time, I aim to create a calm, welcoming space where you can truly relax and feel your best.
A warm, cosy beach cottage.
My clinic is a peaceful beach cottage at Headland Farm Park, Tamaterau, looking out over the water of Whangārei Heads. It is a quiet, private space where you can truly relax, unwind and let your body recover.
No rush, no noise. Just warmth, calm and time set aside for you.
Your body takes care of you every day. It is time to return the favour.
