Contrast Therapy
Rejuvenate The Body, Reduce Inflammation and Enhance Recovery
Contrast therapy is a technique that involves alternating between hot and cold treatments to enhance recovery, reduce inflammation, and improve overall well-being. This approach leverages the contrasting effects of temperature to stimulate circulation, boost the immune system, and accelerate the healing process.
Hauora Sanctuary offers a dedicated outdoor platform, hosting a wooden sauna and ice bath.
Sauna
Embracing Timeless Relaxation
Our wooden barrel sauna offers a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience. This saunas use dry heat, generated by a heater with rocks to warm the space to high temperatures, often ranging from 65 to 90°C.
The ritual of stepping into a traditional sauna is an invitation to experience a time-tested method of wellness, which involves periods of intense heat followed by cooling off. This stimulates the cardiovascular system, which helps to detoxify the body, improve circulation, and relax muscles. This time-honored practice not only provides physical benefits but also fosters mental tranquility, offering a serene escape from the stresses of modern life, while enhancing overall well-being.
Holistic Massage
A Pathway to Total Well-Being
Holistic massage is a therapeutic approach that integrates traditional massage techniques with principles from alternative therapies, to address the whole person, aiming to balance and harmonise the mind, body, spirit and soul.
I use a blend of gentle strokes, deep tissue work, and mindful intuitive breathing to release tension, improve circulation, and restore energy flow. This comprehensive approach not only alleviates physical discomfort but also fosters a sense of inner peace and emotional balance, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a more integrated and nurturing form of self-care.
I love to offer my massage outdoors in nature HOWEVER, being weather dependant if it is raining or too windy I will have the massage treatment set up inside my home. If you have preference of being indoors please note this when booking.

Imagine; a group of girlfriends on a Friday evening enjoying a warm sauna, the conversations, the connection, journalling, drinking kombucha and watching the sun go down.
