Mother Wellness NZ

My partner and I recently went to see Marina for body work. Right from the beginning of reaching out to her, Marina was very clear, communicative, and so easy to connect with. She has incredible knowledge of the body; the anatomical and intuitive sort. She also has a special gift for giving attention to detail. These small, but very special touches really elevate her “massage” to a spiritual adjustment as well. She was incredible, honestly. We both couldn’t recommend Marina more.

I stayed at Peppers Christchurch Clearwater Resort and booked a massage through the hotel front desk. They called in Marina. What a fantastic massage! It was exactly what I needed, and I felt very comfortable with Marina. She's also very interesting, and can teach all sorts of things about the body and health. She's dedicated and passionate about these things. I highly recommend her.

Marina's pregnancy yoga classes are more than just your standard yoga class. Her amazing knowledge, experience and wisdom in all things pregnancy, birth and the power of feminine energy are all intertwined into her classes where I learn something new every week. In her classes I find the specialized poses she teaches to prepare us for birth and help our changing bodies along the way beyond helpful in my pregnancy journey. She offers a very holistic yoga practice incorporating mind, body, spirit - very empowering! Did I mention she does the best pregnancy massages also! Could not recommend her enough.

I recently went to a yoga retreat with Marina up at Boyle River and am so very glad I went. The whole weekend was amazing! Absolutely stunning drive up and back with snow capped mountains and beautiful valleys through Lewis Pass. About 7 hours of yoga and meditation all up spread over two days. Marina is extremely experienced and ensures people at all levels are catered for. I have a back injury and she tailored all the sessions to suit me. I felt like I was in good hands. Marina also gave me a therapeutic massage after we visited the Maruia hot pools. The Boyle River outdoor education centre is a quiet, peaceful spot surrounded by beautiful hills. We were even treated with a light snowfall in the evening! It was a nice small group and everyone got along well. Plus we all brought food to share - yummy veggie curries and home made bread. I loved it!

I've had several pregnancy massages with Marina through my second and third trimesters. She's not only a very good massage therapist, but also has a wealth of knowledge around pregnancy and birth, thanks to her experience as a yoga teacher and doula. Highly recommend!

Marina is really great and experienced teacher and therapist.I have just done a Pregnancy and Postnatal massage course for Massage Therapists.I learn lots of new technics and become more comfortable with pregnancy massage and this main reason why I chose to trust Marina.She has many, many years of experience and she just knows how to give you 100% of her knowledge and help you get better with your massage carrier.Definitely recomended.

Marina's pregancy yoga was the best I had been too (I found it in my second pregnancy). Perfect balance of stretching and strengthening, I always felt better physically after her classes and slept better! And always felt confident in her vast and extensive knowledge of what is safe in pregnancy.Her massage I can't speak highly enough of! Again the best pregancy massage I have had! So relaxing. All of her advice and knowledge really helped and contributed, I believe, to a better labour with my second. Thanks again Marina!
