Thank you for your review Shanon. Was so lovely meeting you!
Fantastic experience: Love my regular massage with Fiona. The mixture of hot stones, cupping and traditional massage is pure bliss!!
Fantastic experience: As usual a superb massage. I was a client of Fiona when I lived in Blenheim. Missed her when I moved to Christchurch so was delighted when I heard she had also moved. Even though she's an hours drive from me, she is worth every minute of that drive. Fully recommend
Fantastic experience: I chose reformer Pilates as after my two pregnancies that left my pelvis unstable and abdominal muscles needing extra support this felt like the right start to my journey. I'm so grateful I did as Fiona is patient and mindful of what my body can (and can't) do right now but challenges me in a supportive way. Her studio is private and calming so it's a wonderful time to focus on myself and my goals. My journey is a strength, mobility and mindfulness path so it's lovely to be doing it with Fiona.
Thank you for taking time to leave a review. I am so excited to be part of this journey with you!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. Excellent massage therapist.
Fantastic experience: Fiona is fantastic and I highly recommend her. I have fibromyalgia and see her once a week to help with my condition and she is highly professional and caring and helps me a lot

Fantastic experience: The first time I saw Fiona I remember leaving the clinic and hadn't felt so much relaxation in my body for years it left such a huge smile on my face as I walked out! Will miss Fiona's bubbly smile and incredible massage techniques and knowledge.
Fantastic experience: I have had a couple of massages with Fiona Gibb. She is very good at what she does. Each time i left feeling totally relaxed ..my whole body. She likes to chat away too which i also like. She seems very caring and puts you ay ease. I would recommend her
Fantastic experience: Excellent sports/deep tissue masseuse! Have been seeing Fiona for a number of years now for general maintenance and highly recommend. Wide variety of skills/approach and always resolves any niggles I may have
Fantastic experience: Quality, top-notch experience going to Fiona for massage therapy. She is very professional and makes you feel at ease.
Fantastic experience: I always walked away feeling at least x10 better! Fiona is a lovely lady who always can help me manage and relieve my back pain.
