TherapiesWe offer a choice of therapists each specialising in different techniques. Pre-booking is essential. Faye offers facials and relaxation massage ranging from head and shoulder or foot massage to full body. Hans specialises in sports massage and lymphatic drainage. Karoline offers Freedom therapies that can include neuro-muscular massage and The Journey. Opt for treatment at Matua Gardens Retreat or enjoy your stay after sessions with Karoline or Hans at their Christchurch clinics. Transfers are available if you want to make the most of relaxing after your treatment. Matua Gardens Retreat is a wonderful place to recuperate from emotional and physical challenges. The serenity of the sounds of the stream and bird song combined with the tranquil views and the warm and caring service are a tonic for jangled nerves and stressed bodies. We are currently working with other therapists to develop a health spa programme and will have this on offer as soon as the detail is finalised. |
