Welcome to Body & Beauty by Zoë
Zoë is a qualified massage therapist providing a unique blend of restorative, transformative treatments for the head, heart & belly from her home studio in Mangawhai. Specializing in face massage, buccal, cranial unwinding, diaphragm release & belly care, Zoë's practice operates from a wide skillset of practical learnings as well as her innate intuitive insight to offer transformative tending for the whole being - mind, body, beauty & soul.
Head, Heart & Belly
Responding to your experiences through skilled & intuitive hands-on therapy; helping you shift from restriction to spaciousness to wholeness.
Somatic bodywork for the sovereign being.
As an Intuitive, Zoë listens as the body shares, while helping your vital flow to ground and alchemise. One of Zoë’s abilities is reading charges or patterns in the body as the emotions, ways of being, experiences or relationships they are connected to, and articulating the changes taking place and the medicine coming through as it happens in real-time during session. Receiving these insights aurally while you are deeply relaxed & receiving skilled bodywork is very healing - ushering in the release or integration required to return flow and ease to your wairua & body, and provide opportunity for insight & freedom in your life’s expression moving forwards.
Skilfully trained in the Face Up™ sculpting face massage method, and infused with her own unique way of working, Zoë's Face Alchemy sessions are a beautiful flow of guided breath, botanical skincare & soothing bodywork to unwind stress & tension held in the face, jaw & neck and return lymphatic flow, so you can see & feel your true beauty & vitality. Optional add-ons to your treatment include cranial unwinding, buccal massage & diaphragm release.
Belly care takes form through Zoë’s Belly Alchemy and C-section Release treatments to support in areas such as scar release, opening the breath, post-partum, womb, digestive or liver health, emotional holding & so much more through breath and scar assessment, myofascial therapy, visceral massage & insightful somatic care.
Zoë also offers a Cranial Unwind treatment - a fusion of head & upper body massage as well as gentle yet effective cranial release of the fascia to unwind held stress, calm the mental landscape and bring the nervous system & spirit back to the present. This is an excellent option for the menfolk, too. Diaphragm release is an optional add-on to this session too, for a full-body stress rrelease.
To drop deeply into Zoë's full offerings, book in for a Vital Flow treatment - 2 hours of soothing, healing face & abdominal massage.
During these slow, intentional treatments, enjoy the Mukti, Tui and EmbodyMe ranges of skincare & oils. Offering a diverse yet interconnected body of work, be in touch with any queries! Embody your beauty, support mental and emotional balance and expand into your you-ness through soothing hands-on care.
Soften. Breathe. Expand.
Release. Receive. Repeat.
Gain insight. Be nourished.

“I’ve had two amazing sessions with Zoë and have left both feeling blissfully relaxed and restored. Both times were slightly different, as she works with what you and your body are feeling at the time. Zoë is so welcoming, creating a safe and rejuvenating space that’s just magical. I’m fascinated by how fascial unwinding works and all the body’s different connections, and she’s always happy to explain and talk through what she’s doing/done.”
“I feel put back together - physically and spiritually. After three caesarean births, the scar tissue and adhesions had left me with ongoing tightness, pain and numbness. Seeing Zoë for treatment helped to release the tightness & pulling (which I learned had contributed to my ongoing back & shoulder pain) and I am genuinely able to move and breathe more freely and easily. When I touch my belly now, I don’t notice my scar, it’s smooth. It’s integrated. I am so grateful - not just for the work Zoë puts in, but her beautiful, kind, healing energy. This really is a must for all c-section mammas.”
“I had such a beautiful , transformative experience through Zoë’s massage and I don’t say that lightly. Zoë has a warm and open nature which extends through her practice. I felt very nourished and my body and face feel relaxed and renewed. Highly recommend.”
