Integrated Massage and Energy Reset
Massage and Reiki Healing in Hastings, Hawke's Bay
A deeply restorative 90-minute treatment combining slow, nurturing massage with Reiki, polarity work, stillness and sound.
The Integrated Massage & Energy Reset was created for women who feel drawn to something a little deeper than massage alone - a treatment where there is time to slow down, soften and simply receive.
You don’t need any previous experience of Reiki or energy healing.
What does the treatment entail?
Your treatment begins with a slow back massage as a way to start the conversation with your nervous system. This allows you to arrive, become comfortable and begin to let go of the outside world. From massage, we gradually move into a quieter part of the treatment.
I use a combination of polarity holds and Reiki, initially working through the sacral, solar plexus and heart areas before you turn onto your back and we continue around the throat, third eye and crown. From there, the treatment becomes more intuitive.I may pause with my hands gently on the body or just above it, gradually working down towards the feet and grounding the treatment there.
There is no expectation that you need to do anything during this part of the session. Some women become deeply still. Some notice warmth, tingling, movement or other physical sensations. Some experience colours, images, memories or emotions. Others simply feel very relaxed. And some notice nothing in particular at all. There is no right way to experience Reiki. Sometimes, in the kind of quiet that reiki creates, there may be space to hear yourself a little more clearly.
Towards the end of the energy work, gentle sound from my singing bowl and Koshi chimes marks the beginning of the transition back.I then return to massage, working slowly through your arms and hands before finishing with your shoulders, neck and scalp.
After the stillness of the energy work, massage gives you time to reconnect with the physical body and gradually return to the room.
Your treatment begins with approximately 25 minutes of slow back massage. This gives you time to arrive, become comfortable and begin to let go of the outside world. I think of this first part of the treatment as beginning a gentle conversation with the nervous system — familiar, nurturing touch that gives the body time to settle before we move into stillness and energy work.

SPACE TO HEAR YOURSELF What I can offer is a warm, quiet space where you can slow down, become still and simply notice what arises. Sometimes, in that kind of quiet, there may be space to hear yourself a little more clearly. There may be an image, feeling or thought that feels personally meaningful to you. Or there may be absolutely nothing to understand. Sometimes what is needed is simply a really lovely massage, deep rest and the experience of being cared for. Both are more than enough. RETURN Towards the end of the energy work, gentle sound from my singing bowl and Koshi chimes marks the beginning of the transition back. I then return to massage, working slowly through your arms and hands before finishing with your shoulders, neck and scalp. I love this part of the treatment. After the stillness of the energy work, massage gives you time to reconnect with the physical body and gradually return to the room rather than feeling as though your treatment has ended abruptly. Settle. Soften. Receive. Return.
Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve never had Reiki before. Is that okay?
Absolutely. Many of the women who book an Energy Reset have little or no previous experience of Reiki. I’ll explain what to expect before we begin and you’re welcome to ask questions.
Do I need to believe in Reiki?
No. You’re welcome to approach the treatment with whatever beliefs you already have. You can simply enjoy the massage, stillness and opportunity to deeply relax.
Is Reiki hands-on?
It can be both. At times my hands may rest gently on your body and at other times I may work just above it.
What if I don’t feel anything during the Reiki?
That is completely fine. Some people notice distinct sensations or imagery and others don’t. There is no particular experience we are trying to create. Deep rest is enough.
Will you tell me what you pick up during the Reiki?
My focus is on creating a quiet, supportive treatment rather than interpreting your experience for you.
If you would like to talk about something you noticed during the session afterwards, there is always space for that conversation.
Is the treatment suitable if I’m feeling very stressed or overwhelmed?
The Energy Reset is designed as a deeply restful wellbeing treatment and many women choose it when life feels particularly full. It is complementary care and is not a replacement for medical or mental-health treatment where that is needed.

What is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle Japanese energy-healing practice in which the practitioner places their hands lightly on, or just above, the body. My own approach to Reiki is quiet and uncomplicated. You don’t need to believe anything in particular for me to offer it and you don’t need to have a dramatic experience for your session to feel worthwhile. For me, Reiki is less about searching for answers and more about creating stillness.
Who might enjoy an Energy Reset?
You may be drawn to this treatment if you:
• Love massage but are curious about Reiki or energy healing
• Feel stressed, overwhelmed or mentally busy
• Find it difficult to switch off
• Are craving quiet and time where nothing is expected of you
• Enjoy deeply nurturing treatments
• Already practise meditation, yoga, Reiki or other forms of energy work
• Simply feel curious about trying something different
You don’t need a particular reason to book. Sometimes curiosity is enough.
Many clients find that regular massage helps maintain a steadier nervous system and better sleep over time.
