I'm Marama, a qualified massage practitioner here on the beautiful Kāpiti Coast.

At The Calm Retreat, my mission is simple: to help you restore balance, ease, and a deep sense of well-being. Through Swedish massage techniques, I create a soothing experience that activates your body's natural healing process. This gentle approach encourages relaxation, relieves tension, and rejuvenates, leaving you feeling refreshed, revitalised, and glowing!

My Story

With years of experience in government and the not-for-profit sectors, I understand the challenges of balancing work with personal well-being.  Finding balance and carving out time for self-care is a personal journey, and for me, it led to massage therapy. After experiencing the amazing benefits of massage myself, I felt inspired to share that healing with others.

 

In June 2024, I began studying massage therapy part-time at Holistic Health Training, earning my level 4 qualification. Now, I'm proud to have opened The Calm Retreat - a peaceful sanctuary designed for rest, healing, and rejuvenation.

I believe that true well-being begins with creating space to nurture ourselves. At The Calm Retreat, I'm here to help you do just that - whether you're seeking relaxation, relief from tension, or simply a moment to step away from life's busy pace.

Supporting others in their wellness journey is something I'm deeply passionate about, and I continue to grow and learn in my practice. Whether you're here for relaxation or a peaceful moment, I'd love to help you feel your best

With love,

Marama
