Deep Tissue Massage
Firm pressure and slow, deliberate strokes that work into the deeper layers of muscle and fascia. Ideal for ongoing tightness, knots and stiffness from work, sport or stress.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
A very light, rhythmic masssage that encourages lymph fluid to move more freely. Gentle and deeply calming, it can help with puffiness, fluid retention and that heavy, sluggish feeling, and is often used to support receovery after surgery.
Relaxation massage
2 Hour Massage
Two unhurried hours just for you. Tension melts, muscles unwind and your body finds its natural rhythm again. You'll leave with a renewed sense of calm and a serene smile.
Reflexology
Reflexology
Gentle, focused pressure on reflex points in the feet, hands and ears. A deeply relaxing treatment that helps release tension, calm the nervous system and support your body's natural balance.
1/2 Hour Reflexology & 1/2 Hour Back Massage
The best of both in one hour: half an hour of soothing reflexology, followed by a back massage to ease tight shoulders and leave you completely relaxed.
Facial massage
Facial Massage
A soothing treatment to release tension in the face, jaw and scalp. Gentle techniques stimulate the facial muscles and encourage lymphatic drainage, helping reduce puffiness for a fresh, natural glow.
Facial Massage, Reflexology & Back Massage
Two hours of head-to-toe calm. A gentle back massage, facial reflexology and a rejuvenating facial massage combine to release tension, lift puffiness and leave your skin glowing.
Kids massage
Gentle, kid-friendly sessions for babies through to high schoolers, from $22. A lovely way to help little ones relax and settle for sleep. Children carry stress too – busy school days, big feelings, growth spurts, sport and screens and a short, soothing massage gives them a quiet moment to slow down and settle for sleep.
What to expect at your massage
Every appointment begins with a relaxed chat about how you're feeling, where you're holding tension and anything I should know about your health. That way your massage is shaped around you and what your body needs that day, rather than a set routine.
Then it's time to settle in. The room is warm, quiet and softly lit, so you can let go of the day and simply rest. Your comfort comes first throughout – you're always welcome to ask for firmer or lighter pressure, more time on a particular area, or a few extra minutes to drift off.
When your massage is finished, there's no rush to get up. Take a moment, enjoy a glass of water, and try to keep the rest of your day gentle so the benefits can really sink in.
Massage FAQ's
Answers to the questions I'm asked most often about massage in Timaru.
Which massage should I book?
If you have tight, sore muscles, deep tissue is a great choice. For pure relaxation, try the 2 hour massage. Lymphatic drainage suits puffiness or fluid retention, and reflexology is lovely if you'd prefer a gentler, deeply calming treatment. Not sure? Book the closest match and we'll tailor it on the day.
What's the difference between deep tissue and relaxation massage?
Deep tissue massage uses firmer pressure and slower strokes to reach deeper layers of muscle and release stubborn knots. Relaxation massage, like the 2 hour massage, uses slower, flowing strokes to calm the nervous system and help you switch off. Both can be adjusted to your comfort.
Does deep tissue massage hurt?
It can feel intense on tight areas, but it shouldn't be painful. I check in throughout and work within your comfort. Some people feel a little tender the next day, which usually eases within 24-48 hours.
What should I wear to my massage?
Wear whatever is comfortable. You'll undress to your comfort level and stay covered with a towel the whole time, with only the area being massaged uncovered. For reflexology and facial massage, you can stay fully clothed.
How long should my massage be?
30 minutes is ideal for one focus area, like your back and shoulders. 60 minutes allows a fuller treatment, and 90 minutes or the 2 hour massage gives time for a complete, unhurried full-body session.
How often should I get a massage?
It depends on your body and goals. For ongoing tension or a specific issue, every 2-4 weeks works well. For general relaxation and wellbeing, many clients book monthly. We can talk about what suits you at your appointment.
Can I have a massage if I have a medical condition?
Often, yes – but please let me know about any health conditions, injuries or medications when you book. For some conditions, such as heart issues, blood clots or an active infection, we'll chat first or you may need your GP's okay before your treatment.
What should I do after my massage?
Drink plenty of water, rest where you can and avoid intense exercise for the rest of the day. A warm bath or shower can help keep muscles relaxed.
How do I book?
Choose your treatment and book online and see available times. If you have questions first, call me on 027 7 email; hello@divinewellbeing.co.nz.
Do you sell massage gift vouchers?
Yes - gift vouchers can be used for any massage or treatment and make a thoughtful gift for birthdays, Christmas, Mother's Day or just because.
