Nelson Services

Initial Appointment 60min

1 hr 15 mins$100

Initial Appointment 90min

1 hr 45 mins$140

Therapeutic Massage 60min

1 hr$100

A combination of techniques from relaxation massage, deep tissue massage, pressure point bodywork and myofascial release therapy can be used to create a state of deep relaxation and balance. In this state, the body is able to draw on its own self-healing abilities and to rebalance and recalibrate. Mind and body are assisted to unwind and let go of what is no longer needed. This may also assist with addressing physical pain, longstanding / chronic presentations and recovery from injury.

Each treatment is tailored to your individual needs which will be discussed initially.

Therapeutic Massage 90min

1 hr 30 mins$140

Myofascial Release Therapy 60min

1 hr$100

During a myofascial release therapy session, you will experience a range of slower soft-tissue strokes engaging with the fascial layers, which releases adhesions in your body and creates a space of deepest relaxation. Myofascial Release Therapy addresses attachments within the body, restricted movement, structural and postural dysfunction and restrictions in the flow of energies in your system. It is highly effective for chronic pain, referred pain and restricted circulation. It is also used to work with scars and scar tissue to release physical and emotional attachments and to bring the previously disconnected areas of the body back online.

Myofascial Release Therapy 90min

1 hr 30 mins$140

Somatic Fascial Unwinding 60min

1 hr$100

This profound modality invites you on an inward journey to facilitate the release of deep-seated holding patterns from the inside out. Using a gentle touch and intuitive, supportive holds, this work engages directly with the fascial network to address not only physical restrictions, but also the stored tension, cellular memories, and emotional consciousness that certain areas of the body hold. By working at this deeper level, we can initiate meaningful shifts across both your physical and emotional well-being.

By deeply activating the parasympathetic nervous system, this therapy supports the body’s innate wisdom and self-regulating capacity to restore health. It is an exceptional approach for those navigating anxiety, chronic stress, brain fog, migraines, or persistent pain patterns that have remained unchanged by traditional treatment methods.

To allow for maximum comfort and freedom of movement during these subtle structural shifts, this treatment is performed fully clothed. Please wear loose, non-restrictive clothing.

Cranial Fascial Release

45 mins$80

Much of our daily stress and physical tension accumulates in the head, neck, and face. This specialized treatment focuses on gently releasing and unwinding restrictions within the cranial fascial layers to restore a sense of ease, clarity, and full-body alignment.
By applying precise, gentle pressure and slow myofascial releases, this therapy helps decompress the cranial bones, soothe the nervous system, and encourage structural unwinding. Through these slow, deliberate strokes and sustained holds across the neck, scalp, and facial muscles, the body is invited into a state of profound relief.
It offers excellent support for those navigating migraines, chronic headaches, concussions, or neck injuries. Because of its quiet, non-invasive nature, it is also an ideal therapeutic starting point for individuals with highly sensitive nervous systems.

Romiromi / Mirimiri

1 hr 30 mins$150

Romiromi/Mirimiri is an ancient body work modality of the Maori. It works on all levels of your being (physical, mental, ancestral, spiritual) and focuses on releasing blockages in your energy system, and at realigning your mind, body and spirit. It can help you let go of anything that no longer serves you, and of anything that is in the way of you being truly you. Working deeply in the energetic realms and transcending time and space with the support of the land and our ancestors, this type of bodywork has the capacity to assist you with mental health challenges, physical manifestations of holding patterns, trauma experiences, and facilitates emotional release.
A session lasts between 90 and 120 minutes which includes an initial conversation and the time on the table. This treatment usually takes place fully clothed so please wear something stretchy and comfortable.
Please allow for alone time for yourself afterwards to be still and to integrate the session.

Pricing for this treatment varies depending on your circumstances and the length of the session. Most people end up paying between $120 - $160 for a 1.5-2 hour session.
Elemental Bodywork is ACC registered as a provider for rongoā Māori. Talk to me if you have an existing claim with ACC.

I loved my time with Kath. I went with a back that was tight and she got to the problem immediately with care and some insights as to how to manage this gong forward.

Kath is very good at what she does and is a kind attentive therapist. I completed some extra training in deep tissue level 5, with her and I highly recommend her as a tutor and therapist. Her space is warm and inviting and very handy to pop out to a cafe on your break walking distance 1 min. Loved it.
