GETTING TO TE IHI

There is a designated customer carpark to the left of the property in front of a white garage, you will see my sign. From this side you enter through the white gates and come down the hill towards the Te Ihi studio nestled at the bottom of the garden.

There is a steepish but short meander through the garden you will need to be prepared to take. For this reason I have not included pregnancy massage because in my experience as a hapū Māmā I was not steady enough to walk that distance, however I am open to massaging hapū wāhine, please just let me know prior to booking as I can meet you at the gate. This goes for anyone who may have a leg injury or trouble walking up and down stairs.
