Here at Bloom, we are fortunate to offer multiple different massage specialisations.
Remedial Massage Therapy
With 35 years of experience in massage therapy and a background as a trained nurse, Maria brings a wealth of knowledge and a strong understanding of the body to every treatment. Her massage practice is infused with passion and empathy.
Maria specialises in remedial massage, focusing on identifying and working with specific areas of pain, muscle tension, restriction and injury. Her treatments are targeted and therapeutic, aiming to address areas causing discomfort and support your recovery and movement.
Her treatments can include deep tissue massage, hot stone therapy, sports massage and targeted remedial techniques, tailored to your individual needs.
Maria aims to enhance the quality of life for individuals experiencing acute and chronic discomfort. Maria also works closely alongside our chiropractors, providing complementary soft-tissue treatment and support for clients recovering from injuries or managing ongoing muscular tension and discomfort.
Whether you're dealing with a specific injury, persistent tightness, muscular pain, or simply need focused treatment for problem areas, Maria takes a hands-on, individualised approach to help you feel and move better.
Both of our massage therapists work alongside our resident chiropractors to co manage patient cases and provide high quality, holistic support. If you are not sure which therapist is right for you, please give us a call and we would happy to help you.

Restorative Massage Therapy
With 18 years’ experience as a massage therapist, Nicola specialises in deep tissue and therapeutic massage, and has developed a passion for deep facial massage and sculpting. Nic is dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment for her clients, particularly those dealing with nervous system overload, burnout, anxiety, and stress. Every session is tailored to the individual, with the goal of leaving clients feeling lighter, more balanced and deeply relaxed. She offers long form, full body treatments as well as Face Up sessions.
Nicola is one of only a handful of therapists in the Wellington area offering the Face Up Method - a unique approach that lifts and sculpts the face while calming the nervous system, boosting circulation, improving posture, elongating the neck and supporting overall wellbeing. Face Up facial sculpting massage is a fusion of advanced massage and sculptural techniques tailored for your face, neck, head, décolletage and the inner contours of your mouth or buccal area. This specialised treatment can be particularly beneficial for clients experiencing jaw tension, headaches, sinus issues and TMJ dysfunction.
Each treatment is uniquely designed to dissolve stress and tension, while addressing the negative related changes associated with ageing. Think of it as a workout for your face - we are supporting muscle elasticity, stimulating blood circulation and nutrition to your bones, muscles and skin.
This unique approach not only lifts and sculpts the face but also calms the nervous system, boosts circulation, improves posture, elongates the neck and promotes overall wellbeing.
Face Up stimulates lymphatic drainage, releasing stagnant fluid to reduce puffiness while relieving deep muscle tension and releasing stress patterns. Face Up also offers a natural holistic alternative to invasive cosmetic procedures and serves as a sanctuary for those seeking a naturally lifted and refreshed appearance.
