Welcome to Body & Beauty by Zoë
Zoë is a qualified massage therapist working from her beautiful home studio in Mangawhai Village, providing holistic & somatic bodywork sessions specialising in face, head, upper body & abdominal therapies. Tending a wide range of physical presentations & lived experiences, Zoë's practice works alongside the emotional body, the nervous system & the rivers of wairua within. Although much of her clientele are women, Zoë also welcomes children and works with men.
Working from a broad skillset of practical learnings, alongside her deeper, relational way of tending the body & being, she offers unique, personalised and holistic care.
Head, Heart & Belly
Zoë has a special way of listening to the body, and to the life held within it. While practising towards her massage diploma, Zoë discovered her innate intuitive gifts and went on to train in many more complementary modalities that inform what she offers today. These extra-sensory gifts infuse & inform her practice to help navigate client's inner and outer worlds - a unique and integral part of many sessions is her gentle sharing of these insights and inner wisdoms with you as the treatment unfolds.
As well as a Diploma in Massage, Zoë is certified in Face Up™ sculpting massage, fascial unwinding, the C‑Section Release Method™ & abdominal massage. She has also undertaken personal studies in menstrual cycle awareness, Chinese medicine, Holistic Pelvic Care™, energetic patterning & trauma-informed care, Contact Care™ flinchlock release and belly self‑care.
Offering warm, respectful care, Zoë weaves with your body's medicine to help restore ease and flow, opens space for insight in your life’s expression, and reconnects you with the beauty that is uniquely you.

“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.”
“My period arrived yesterday - it was the most easeful Day One I have had in a long time. Thank you for your womb love!”
