Meet Tomoko

Clients say Tomoko explains the treatment clearly before she starts, and tells them where she finds tightness and how it affects the rest of the body.

Your First Visit

  1. Message us on Facebook. Tell us it’s your first time and that you’d like to book at Mt Wellington. Tomoko may be with a client, so we’ll reply as soon as we can.
  2. Arrive 10 minutes early to fill in a short intake form.
  3. Talk about your goals. Tomoko will ask about your concerns, what you’ve tried before, and how you’d like to feel.
  4. Relax. You stay fully clothed. Please wear or bring loose pants or yoga pants, and bring a water bottle.
  5. See the difference. We take before and after posture photos, and give you a 30-second exercise to do at home.

Light makeup and sunscreen are fine. We use oil on the face, so bring your makeup if you’d like to reapply it.

Tomoko was professional and explained the massage and facial treatment clearly before starting. The gentle adjustments helped release tension, while the facial treatment left my skin glowing. It was great getting some feedback about where there was tightness and how that caused unbalance or overwork in other parts of my body. Unlike deep tissue massage, this was subtly effective—I left feeling relaxed, balanced, and refreshed. A unique, holistic experience!

My sciatica was jammed in my glute. Tomoko unjammed it. 45 minutes. I've been waiting for the pain to come back all day. Nothing! I'm going back to make sure it stays away and let Tomoko get into my back and neck. I usually go for deep Thai or Chinese ninja finger type massage. This is very different. Gentle. Enquiring. Coaxing. Asking. It's 😍 peaceful.
