Massage Therapy

Approach

I combine my massage therapy training with an understanding of the mind-body connection. You will be treated as a whole person, with the aim to return balance rather than an illness to be defeated. You will feel space being created in your body, dropping you into the para-sympathetic nervous system where deep healing and re-balancing takes place. 
Combining deep tissue, relaxation, and myofascial techniques, regular massage therapy can bring bring you into optimum sates of well-being.

  • "My husband and I stayed in Raglan for a month, and both saw Mike for massages. He’s a true professional and a healer. His massage is both relaxing and truly therapeutic. Mike understands fascial release and while the massage is wonderful, the day after comes with a huge payoff: total release in areas of tension or clenching. We didn’t discover Mike and his expertise until late in our trip, or we would have discovered weekly visits with him. I highly recommend. He’s a gentle soul who listens and cares. I felt safe and cared for"

  • "I was in agony with shoulder pain, Mike's massage treatments and recommended exercises perfectly complimented the Osteo treatments I had. My pain subsided and I was back to normal in just a few weeks. I have no hesitation recommending Mike's skill and professionalism."

  • "For so long I had tried many different massage places but my needs were never met until I started seeing Mike for deep tissue massages. He’s thoughtful, takes the time to listen and assists my specific needs with the best and unique techniques. He creates a safe and comfortable environment making it very easy to relax. He’s easy to talk to and the vibes are always immaculate. I can always trust I’ll leave feeling 110%. Thank you Mike! I appreciate your work :)"

  • "When I first went to see Mike I had a lot of aches, pains & my natural body movement was restricted due to a recent knee injury & an old spinal injury. Mike recommended a series of massage in which he explained his technique using fascia release. The massages were deeply relaxing as he takes you on a journey with his good beats & massage techniques. The mass of scar tissue around my spinal injury has broken down allowing for so much release & realignment in my body, my restless legs have gone & so have my aches & pains. Mike is amazing at what he does. I love his work & his energy.....highly recommend him😊"

  • "I would highly recommend a deep tissue massage from Mike at Truelife Bodywork. He took the time to understand my past injuries, and tailored the session to suit my needs. Mike created a comfortable environment, and used multiple techniques to release my tension, leaving me calm and relaxed. Overall, a wonderful experience!"

  • "Raglan is lucky to have such an incredibly intuitive massage therapist in the community. Mikes space is so warm and welcoming and he knew exactly what my body needed. I left feeling refreshed and at peace. I will definitely re-book when I visit the area".

  • "I’m so happy I got in for a massage last minute with Mike and I had a wonderful experience over all! He was very sweet, professional and made sure I felt comfortable the whole time. I loved that he took the time at the beginning of the appointment to ask me about my bodily issues and my tender spots (I’ve received lots of massages and unfortunately that’s not always a given)! He found all my knots and released a lot of tension for me! Thanks for the good chats Mike! Hope to swing by at some point in time again:)"

  • Pressure is really a matter of preference. The key is the intention of the touch in sending a safety message to the nervous system. Once this happens the body opens, heals, and aligns naturally. So the best pressure is what feels god to you!

  • In 60 minutes we will get to the parts of the body of most importance to you for that session. In 90 minutes we will treat the whole body for full release.

  • This depends on what you’re coming in for. We recommend weekly when working through an ongoing issue and monthly for maintenance.
