Mauritau Wellbeing

Like everyone else who has left reviews I have only nice things to say about Laura and her well-being practice. If I had to sum up my massage experience at her studio in three words these would be: relaxing, holistic and supportive. The aromatherapy oils she uses are soothing and uplifting and her approach to clients and the process is simply phenomenal.

Laura creates a magical atmosphere from the get go. The actual space you walk into, is like walking into a pure, luxe, indulgent spa with a difference - it is authentic and here to help you. She listens so she knows what really needs working on, often you don't but she does. The impacts to your body post massage is great, better sleep, better ability to slow down and feel what is needed. I'm going to make her part of our well being routine.

Had a wonderful relaxing massage with Laura in her well appointed and very pleasant studio in Orakei. The whole experience was very professional and I came away feeling revived. Massage is so beneficial for your health and wellbeing I would definitely recommend it.

Booked this for my husband who was sorely in need of some relaxation. He came home ‘blissed out’ and said it was fantastic. I don’t think he’s ever said that about a massage before. Usually it’s just ‘quite good’. Can’t wait to get one myself!

I was visiting the Orakei neighbourhood and Mauritau caught my eye. Ironically I was a fellow student alongside Laura recently on an ancient philosophy training module, so having met Laura, I immediately signed up for a class. Laura is very knowledgeable and nurturing yoga teacher. The space she has created is a soothing cocoon and has a very real sense of community. Laura's heart, soul and then some can be felt in her teaching and studio. I am in awe at her elocution and knowledge of Te Ao Maori - Laura's bilingual classes are a beautiful and humbling experience. I will be back!

Laura has created the ultimate experience. From the time you enter the beautifully designed space you start to breathe differently. She listens to her clients requests and incorporates their needs into the massage. She works on a philosophy of treating the body holistically. I could feel my body give itself to her, I was able to trust the process and could feel immediately my muscles melt under her hands. I have used a number of therapies and therapists over the years however Laura is the first to make me feel comfortable to 'let go' and fully relax. She creates a connection with people that allows you to fully relinquish yourself and just 'be' in the moment.

Laura is extremely calm and competent, clearly enjoying the work she does. It is reflected in the way she massages with purpose, skill and passion. I really loved my pregnancy massage with her and I would visit again for sure!

I loved my massage with Laura. Beautiful space, and a fantastic massage that removed a lot of the tension I had built up. Laura was so welcoming and caring too, the whole experience felt very nurturing and healing. Will definitely be back soon!

I recently joined one of Laura’s online yoga sessions. I only have a small amount of experience with yoga and with te reo Māori but I was pleasantly surprised how easy and enjoyable it was to follow along. Laura does a wonderful job of communicating and checking in with you to make sure you are aware of how to make a pose more or less challenging. The pace is great, it felt very calm, but by the end I could really feel I had stretched my body.Thank you, I’m looking forward to another session soon.
