First time visiting and was a wonderful experience. Top Notch provides a massage which focuses on resolve aches and pains rather than just relaxing the body. It is a lovely clean and tidy space with plenty of parking. I had an appointment with Hayley who was really friendly but also really knowledgeable in helping to reduce the pain from a persistent headache.
You’ll find me in Massey at Top Notch Bodyworks, helping people feel and move better through massage that is tailored to their body, lifestyle and what they want to get back to doing.
I’ve been working as a massage therapist since qualifying in 2015 and have spent more than a decade developing my skills across therapeutic deep tissue, relaxation, pregnancy and sports massage.
Whether you’re dealing with stubborn muscular tightness, feeling the effects of training, carrying the physical load of work or family life, or simply know your body needs some attention, I’ll work with you to understand what’s going on and tailor your massage accordingly.
I believe in the benefits massage can have for both physical and overall wellbeing, and I’m passionate about helping people feel better in their bodies.
Your appointment starts with you – what’s bothering you, how it’s affecting you and what you’d like to get from your massage.
With more than a decade of hands-on experience, I can adapt my approach depending on what you need, from relaxation massage through to more targeted deep tissue and Neuromuscular Massage.
I’ll check in with you throughout your appointment about pressure and comfort, rather than assuming one style or intensity suits everyone.
The aim is for you to leave feeling that we’ve actually worked on what brought you in, with a treatment suited to you rather than a one-size-fits-all massage.
Clients describe their sessions as both focused and supportive:

I understand the demands we can place on our bodies from personal experience too. I’ve completed an ultra-marathon, competed in CrossFit and participated in powerlifting and strongman training, so I know what training load, recovery and those persistent niggles can feel like.
I’m also a mum of four girls, so I understand first-hand the physical demands of pregnancy, motherhood and busy family life.
Before relocating from Hamilton to Auckland, I ran my own massage practice. I also took a brief detour into another hands-on profession – I’m a fully qualified baker!
Outside the clinic, I enjoy hiking, gym classes, learning Te Reo Māori, and reading and writing poetry.
Let’s work together to help you feel your best.
