I recently experienced a Shiatsu Massage & Aroma Combination with Ms Mari at her Balance Centre, and it was one of the most restorative and harmonising treatments I’ve ever received. Living with Rheumatoid Arthritis, my body often carries stiffness and discomfort, so I deeply appreciate treatments that are both effective and precisely tailored to my needs.

From the moment I stepped inside, there was a palpable sense of calm and balance that immediately set the tone for an exceptional therapeutic experience. Ms Mari and her Balance Centre radiated serenity — a beautifully curated environment designed to promote deep relaxation and healing, with soft lighting, subtle aromas, and tranquil music.

Before the session, Ms Mari conducted a professional intake, taking the time to understand my specific needs, medical background, and areas of concern. This thorough approach made me feel confident that the treatment would be safe and fully customised to my body.

The session began with a soothing foot bath, infused with eucalyptus. This was very pleasing and helped my body relax and my mind settle, preparing me for my treatment.

The Shiatsu & Aroma Combination itself was an exquisite integration of traditional Shiatsu techniques with the healing qualities of aromatherapy. Ms Mari demonstrated remarkable skill, awareness, and intuition — applying firm, precise pressure and stretches exactly as my body required. She was especially mindful of my Rheumatoid Arthritis, ensuring that each movement addressed stiffness and tension while supporting flexibility and comfort. The aromatherapy enhanced the overall sense of well-being and balance.

What stood out most was Ms Mari’s ability to intuitively adapt the session to my body’s needs. The treatment addressed muscular tension, joint stiffness, and energetic imbalances, leaving me feeling lighter, more mobile, and profoundly rebalanced.

The session concluded with a moment of quiet reflection and a cup of warm herbal chamomile tea, a perfect ritual to integrate the experience. Every detail — from the personalised foot bath to the final tea — reflected Ms Mari’s holistic approach and genuine professional care.

I was very happy to discover a local specialist like Ms Mari and her Balance Centre, and I will definitely return and become a regular client. In the days following, I noticed lasting benefits: improved joint comfort, reduced stiffness, better mobility, deeper relaxation, and an enduring sense of calm. It was more than a treatment; it was a tailored, holistic reset for my body and spirit.

I highly recommend Ms Mari and her Balance Centre to anyone seeking a deeply restorative, personalised wellness experience — especially if you have specific health needs. Ms Mari's care, skill, and thoughtful provided attention made it a truly transformative experience, she will leave you renewed, aligned, and at peace.
