About Your Therapist
Meet Kate
Welcome to KS Massage Therapy. I'm so glad you're here.
I'm Kate, and for more than 20 years I've had the privilege of helping people feel better in their bodies through therapeutic massage and natural therapies. Every treatment I offer is tailored to the individual, because no two people—or their bodies—are the same.
My passion for natural health began long before my professional training. I was fortunate to grow up in a family where natural therapies were simply a way of life. Muscle testing (kinesiology), homeopathy, herbal medicine and holistic wellbeing were part of my everyday upbringing. My father was a Martial Arts instructor with extensive knowledge of pressure points and meridians, and he introduced me to these concepts as a teenager. Those early experiences sparked a lifelong passion for helping others heal naturally.
I completed my first Reiki training at just 17 years old before studying Natural Therapies at the Waikato Institute of Technology, where I trained in neuromuscular massage, herbal medicine, homeopathy and nutrition. Massage quickly became my true calling, and over the years I've continued to expand my knowledge through ongoing professional development.
My additional training includes hot stone massage, Bach flower remedies, and specialised pregnancy massage. In 2013 I completed my Diploma in Pregnancy Massage with Distinction. Supporting women throughout pregnancy has become one of the most rewarding parts of my work, and I feel incredibly honoured to care for mothers during such a special time in their lives.
Most of my treatments combine therapeutic, deep tissue and intuitive healing techniques, adapting each session to what your body needs on the day. I regularly work with clients experiencing:
With over two decades in the natural therapies industry, I've built a broad knowledge of complementary health approaches and enjoy sharing practical advice that may help support your wellbeing.
My home-based clinic in Tauranga has been thoughtfully created as a peaceful sanctuary where you can switch off from the outside world, relax, and allow your body the time and space it needs to heal.
Whether you're seeking relief from pain, recovering from injury, navigating pregnancy, or simply needing time to recharge, I look forward to welcoming you into my clinic.
