At Waitaha we are committed to ensuring our clients receive a high standard of care, I am happy to advise on the following:

Specialised massage - At Waitaha we offer many forms of massage, from therapeutic/remedial to relaxation, our hot stone massage is a 90 minute treatment using heated stones on the body and in our hands as we massage, the heat from the stones aid in relaxing the muscles more than just massage alne. We have Miri Miri a flowing relaxing massage or remedial to give greater relief with muscle tightness. Our pregnancy massage is popular as we have a special pregnancy bed designed to accommodate and support baby.

Skin Care and Body Products - We use and recommend Pevonia Botanica we love the results we see and that it’s free of sensitizers (mineral oils, artificial colour and fragrance), free of petro chemicals and not tested on animals. Pevonia products contain 80% active ingredients, are concentrate represent great value for money.
Body – dry skin exfoliate gently 1-2 times a week, try Pevonia’s body scrub, containing jojoba granules, aloe, allantoin, essential oils, avoid long hot showers as this can be very drying on your skin, add a nourishing oil to your bath to rehydrate try Pevonia’s Anti Stress bath and shower gel. Try Pevonia’s body crème it’s hydrating, toning, softening and smoothing, containing Vit E & B AHA’s Safflower Oil Rosemary to aid circulation Chamomile and Horsetail to improve elasticity.

For the Face - Have a maintenance or performance facial to pick your skin up, and look fresh for any occasion. A course of facials can improve your skin and turn back the clock, if you are unsure of what you need mention this at the time of booking and we will allow extra consultation time for you with a senior therapist.

Broken Sleep/ High Stress Levels - I would suggest cutting down of your caffeine intake after lunch time as this can sometimes inhibit sleep. A relaxing bath (not too hot as it can make people with low blood pressure feel faint) at the end of your day add an essential oil of your choice – avoid lavender as this tends to lower blood pressure. Before immersing yourself in the bath take the time to sit and complete with your day – anything that didn’t get done write it in your planner for the following day acknowledge yourself for what you did achieve, light some candles and relax in the bath. Book a Thurs night massage and be wonderfully relaxed ready for a good nights sleep.
Note: Thyroid Condition be careful with any products containing algae/seaweed as they can contain high levels of iodine which can effect some types of thyroid disorders.
I hope this is of assistance to you if we can assist you further please contact us.
Warm regards

Hi Lareesa
How are you – I hope you are well and life is treating you well.
I wanted to contact you following a treatment I had at Waitaha last Saturday.
I have been diagnosed with arthritis in my back and neck and was in a pretty bad way last week last Saturday morning my doctor recommended I have a massage just to try and help me relax and loosen up some very tired and sore muscles.

I went in expecting a nice soothing massage but what I got was an amazing session with someone who knew exactly what I required. She worked very hard on me and explained everything she was doing at the time of doing it. I was totally blown away with her skills and ability – she knew exactly what she was doing and I came away feeling better than I had for weeks.
I understand a lot of girls move on but I really hope this one stays – she knows what she’s doing and is extremely good at it.
I thought you would appreciate the feedback and she certainly deserves the acknowledgement.
All your girls are lovely but given how bad I was feeling, I really wanted you to know how good she is.
Cheers and look forward to seeing you soon – and have a good weekend.
ps: I am going to try and get in to see her again tomorrow but I am sure word is probably out and I won’t be able to get in which is bad for me but great for you and your business.
