Your First Visit

  1. Message us on Facebook. Tell us it’s your first time and that you’d like to book at Te Atatu South. Mariko 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. Mariko 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.

Mariko is very sweet and the treatment felt just as advertised. Just with one sitting I can already see a change in my posture and my whole body feels so much lighter. It's definitely worth the investment, can't wait to come back for my next appointment.

I really enjoyed my massage with Mariko. She was very respectful and kind and explained the process to me. I was unsure what to expect. Initially I was a bit skeptical, but have to say that my back feels better than it has in a while and my sleep has been amazing since. I'll definitely be back. Thank you ❤️

It was the first time I tried this type of treatment and was very pleased with how it went. It was very relaxing and helped with the neck pain that I had been experiencing. Mariko explained everything she was doing before she did it which put me at ease. It was great to try something new.

Had my first experience with Mariko today and don't have enough words of praise for her and her magic hands.Im overwhelmed with the treatment I had today my posture was shocking had every ache and pain through my shoulders and back, walked out feeling so confident after 1 session with her knowing there's still room for improvement hence why I have booked another session. Highly recommend. Thank you Mariko x

I felt welcomed by Mariko and had an amazing time with her. I found a lot of her effort to make me relaxed and comfortable in each adjustment. The room was so cozy and pretty and her touch was so relaxing that I fell asleep quickly. I would recommend to my friends.
