Lisa Buchanmassage therapist & owner of Balance Massage Ltdlevel 6 MNZ registered
I am a strong believer in using regular massage to relieve stress, improve posture, prevent sports injuries and to achieve optimal levels of wellbeing.
"I have visited Lisa Buchan for a few years now. It's hard to find a good massage person that is firm and holistic. Lisa seems to always iron out the lumps and bumps leaving my body rejuvenated. Balance is always professional and friendly. I have recommended many of my friends to Lisa and everyone that has been has always re booked and been very happy with the results." Di

Experience My massage therapy journey started in Australia in 2013 studying with NSW School of Massage in Sydney and I also worked as a Massage Therapist. I have experience in using Swedish, lomi lomi, remedial and sports techniques. I tend to be more intuitive in deep tissue and sports and I use a more of a flowing technique for relaxation. I have been involved with charities - SurfAid, sporting events – Ironman New Zealand and was also a First Aider for the Otahuhu Rugby Union Men’s Premiers sports team.
Passion/Interests Getting involved with the local community and supporting local businesses. Volunteering with sports teams and/or athletes. A regular at the local gym focused mainly on strength and conditioning training. Fitness for 50’s and over, swimming, boxing, sailing and mindfulness meditation.
Maria is currently studying for a NZ Dip in Remedial Massage Level 6 and prices with Maria reflect this. Maria is working full-time as a Club Manager with her local gym and will soon start her own business as a mobile PT and Remedial/Sports Therapist. I’ve also worked as a Swim Instructor in Australia and NZ and a Fitness Instructor in NZ.

Danielle Ryburnmassage therapist & aromatherapistlevel 6 MNZ registered
I have always been passionate about massage as a tool for relaxation, healing and a holistic approach to achieve overall well-being. I have been practicing massage in both remedial/clinical settings and spa environments for over 5 years. I gravitate towards remedial/therapeutic deep work with an element of relaxation to it so my clients can get the benefit of deep tissue muscular relief as well as the many positive effects of relaxing the nervous system through massage. I am a fully qualified aromatherapist and like to add oils to a treatment to increase the therapeutic response. I am trained in Swedish relaxation massage, remedial massage, sports massage, pregnancy massage, and Aromatherapy massage. "Danielle is amazing, I've seen her for a few months now and she's really helped with issues I've had for some time. She really caters to your requirements. Highly recommend!" Margaux
