Nature's Rhythm Massage
Jess Henderson
Hi I'm Jess, a kiwi born in Tauranga and now calling the beautiful South Island home for the past ten years. My innate love for all things Nature had a role to play in finding myself nestled amongst the rainforest covered mountains on the breath taking West Coast. After years of travelling and experiencing different ways of life I found that the life I dreamed of living was on my backdoor steep so to speak, so after yet another camper van trip through the South with my Partner and our faithful hound, we once again came upon the West Coast and we just didn't want to leave, so we didn't. We now live off-grid on a beautiful patch of land nestled into the native bush up in the hills.
I have always had a deep passion for natural health and healing and this passion lead me to studying massage and working as a massage therapist at a Wellness retreat in the mountains. Since then I have had my own practice, first based in kaikoura and now I'm happy to say I'm in Granity in the Northern Buller area.
Working with the body has always made sense to me, along with my love of natural health my massage journey has been with an Holistic approach, recognising the interconnection of mind, body and spirit and considering that physical ailments often have underlying emotional and energetic imbalances that need to be addressed for deeper healing to take place.

Deep Tissue Massage
While holding the same benefits as relaxation massage, deep tissue massage focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles by applying sustained pressure using slow deep strokes to target the inner layers of muscles and connective tissue. This can help to break down scar tissue that occurs after an injury.

Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Massage
The use of hot stones in massage is an ancient practice believed to be first practiced over a thousand years ago in India as a part of the holistic health tradition known as 'Ayurveda'. This therapy involves the heating of palm sized volcanic basalt rocks which are then rolled and pressed over key areas of the body. The heat of the stones help to stimulate blood flow and by heating the muscles it allows for a deeper penetration into the muscle layers​
