Reviews

  • Harriet

    “When I was pregnant I read about the golden month, where lots of cultures prioritise rest, nourishment, touch and care for the parents and birthing person especially. In a culture where this is not the norm it was really hard for me to find someone here, who would visit me at home to massage a few days after birth but I found Tui.

    I first saw Tui when I was very pregnant. After I gave birth I didn’t have any visitors (not even my family), for close to a month, but I had Tui. I stayed in bed with Ida and we’ve slept that way ever since. It was such a privilege and only possible through our friends and families generosity - if only every birthing person could be so lucky.”

  • Ciara

    "The womb healing I received from Tui had an extraordinary effect… I felt so nourished, relaxed and held throughout.

    The periods I have had since have been pain free, given me much clarity on my emotions and releasing ancestral struggles, while also having my cycle shorten to the “normal” length of 28-30 days, which I have never experienced before. I am so grateful to have reached out to Tui when I did.”

  • Emma Kate

    “I recently had the most wonderful pregnancy massage experience! As an expectant mother, it’s been a game-changer for my physical and mental well-being. Tui was knowledgeable, gentle and attentive to my specific needs and concerns. The massage was tailored to my stage of pregnancy, and I felt completely safe and supported throughout.

    The massage itself was blissful - it eased my aches and pains, improved my circulation, and left me feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I especially appreciated the natural oils used and the blend which was individually made according to my personal needs and preferences.

    Tui has a calm demeanour, and created a soothing ambience with relaxing music that helped me unwind and let go of any stress.

    I highly recommend this pregnancy massage to any expectant mothers out there - it’s a must-have for self-care and prenatal care! Thank you Tui!

  • Lauren

    My pregnancy massage with Tui was a deeply spiritual, relaxing experience. Tui is intuitive, strong yet gentle and truly holds space for you, however you show up that day. I left feeling physically and emotionally nourished. They create such a safe space, you can just let go. I would recommend Tui to any hapu mama.

  • Lusi

    I can't not speak of Tui highly enough. I have been getting massaged by them for over 8yrs now. It is always a multi layered, deeply healing and nourishing experience each time. They have a vast knowledge, gifted, skilled and intuitive hands and a caring energy that I have yet to experience elsewhere. I would happily follow them to whatever location they move to. You will not be disappointed.

  • Rani

    Highly recommend. Tui is deeply intuitive and holds beautifully safe and sacred space. Weaving together both physical and energetic elements as they are needed for for each individual session of healing. Very grounded and nourishing.

  • Sarrah

    Tui is a wonderful massage therapist. Just right in all the ways, depth techniques and presence. Enjoy!

  • Hannah

    What a calming, rejuvenating experience! Tui absolutely knows how to reduce pregnancy pains, I’d highly recommend this massage at any stage including postpartum.

  • Aromatherapy nourishes and heals the female reproductive system assisting conception and fertility.

  • Aromatherapy Essential Oils decrease anxiety and pain during labour.

  • Decreases pregnancy-related pain in common areas such as lower back, hips and legs.

  • Improves sleep through raising sleep-inducing hormones such as melatonin and serotonin in the body.

  • Lessens swelling in the legs and feet.

  • Reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression.

  • Boosts a sense of wellbeing and relaxation through lowering stress hormones (cortisol) and raising feel-good hormones such as oxytocin and serotonin.

  • Alleviates muscle spasms and cramps.

  • Reduces the risk of premature birth through lowering stress hormones in both mother and baby.

  • Faster labours; on average three hours shorter than those who did not receive pregnancy massage.

  • Receiving massage during labour reduces pain, lowers rates of cesarean deliveries, and reduces instances of postpartum depression.

Honeysuckle Aotearoa began as a space for women and birthing people to come and receive massage during their hapūtanga (pregnancy and post-partum journey), with a focus on facilitating safe and respectful massage care for LGBTQ+ / queer and gender-diverse people wanting to grow their family.

Recent years have seen this wellness space grow organically, encompassing more aspects of assisting women and gender diverse people in their healing and wellness needs. This includes supporting healthy menstrual cycles, nervous system and emotional support during stress, change and life transitions, and assisting embodiment; living from a deeply embodied space.

“I have massaged people from many walks of life, including palliative care, pregnancy, athletes - marathon runners, rock climbers, hikers, to those who struggle with long-term conditions. I enjoy working holistically, by using therapeutic techniques such as deep tissue massage and myofascial release, to release tension in the body as well as the mind, soothing the nervous system from states of stress, helping you to return to a state of equilibrium, relaxation and ease.

I approach bodywork with deep reverence, tending to each person holistically. These bodywork rituals flow as dual rivers, connecting embodiment-arts with plant-arts, intertwining the unlearning of stress and pain within the body, supported by the natural world from Rongoā Māori native plant remedies and healing, essential oil therapies and herbalism.”
