About Antz

Hey, I’m Antz, a qualified massage therapist with Level 5 and 6 Diplomas in Massage Therapy, proudly serving the Rolleston and Selwyn District communities. My mission is simple: to help you move better, feel stronger, and live with less pain.

​

Whether you’re an athlete pushing your limits, someone dealing with chronic pain, or just in need of a moment to breathe, I’m here to support you. I specialize in sports massage, back pain relief, and migraine management, using evidence-based techniques to tailor each session to your unique needs.

​

My journey into massage therapy started long before I had any formal training. Growing up in New Zealand, I was the one my friends and family turned to for relief after a tough game or a long day. That spark grew into a lifelong commitment to helping others heal.

​

Living with profound hearing loss (I wear cochlear implants) and legal blindness, I’ve learned to turn challenges into strengths. These experiences have sharpened my sense of touch and deepened my empathy for clients living with pain. I also know firsthand what it’s like to deal with back pain, shoulder pain, injuries, and wrist pain. I’ve learned how to care for and overcome them through my own experience. That perspective helps me connect with clients in a genuine, compassionate way.

​

I’m a chatty, warm, and inspiring person, and I believe every session is more than just hands-on work. I love creating a space where you can talk, laugh, and feel genuinely supported on your journey to better health. No matter where you’re at in your health journey, whether you’re an elite athlete or just starting out. You’ll find a welcoming, non-judgmental space here.

​

I’m passionate about building long-term relationships with my clients, supporting you through every step of your recovery and growth. I believe in giving you practical tips and knowledge you can use every day to feel confident in your own body. For me, massage therapy is more than just relieving pain, it’s about transformation. I’m here to help you unlock your body’s potential so you can move, live, and thrive with confidence.

​

Outside the clinic, you’ll usually find me on my longboard, snowboarding, or chasing fitness goals in the gym. Movement is my medicine, and I bring that same energy into every treatment I give. Expect plenty of laughs and maybe a few stories about my latest longboard wipeout!

​

Continuous learning is a big part of who I am. I’m always expanding my knowledge through anatomy apps, research, and hands-on training so I can deliver the most effective, up-to-date care possible. I’m also a registered member of the Massage Association of New Zealand (MANZ), a Southern Cross Easy-Claim provider, and hold a Level 2 First Aid Certificate, so you can trust you’re in safe, capable hands.

If you’re ready to invest in your body and well-being, let’s get started. I’m here to help you get back to doing what you love, feeling stronger, and living pain-free.
