Why get a massage?

Massage is one of the simplest ways to look after your body and mind. Regular sessions can ease muscle tension and stiffness, improve circulation and joint mobility, and support faster recovery between workouts or after a long week on your feet. Many clients also notice real benefits for sleep, stress and mood, massage is well recognised for lowering stress, easing anxiety and simply helping you feel more like yourself again.

Whether you're managing a specific niggle, recovering from training, or just need an hour to switch off, the right massage can make a genuine difference, and it doesn't need to be intense to work. We'll always check in on pressure and adjust the treatment to you.

Massage styles at SPINELAB

Sports Massage

Aimed at active bodies. Sports massage focuses on the muscles you rely on for training and performance, helping loosen tight areas, support recovery between sessions, and keep you moving well whether you're training for an event or just staying active.

Swedish & Relaxation Massage

Our most popular treatment. Long, flowing strokes ease everyday tension, improve circulation and help you properly switch off, a great choice if stress, a busy schedule or general muscle tightness is catching up with you.

Deep Tissue Massage

Aimed at deeper, more targeted pressure work. Deep tissue massage focuses on chronic tension and tight, overworked muscles, helping release stubborn knots, ease stiffness and support recovery from training or day-to-day strain. It's a firmer treatment than our Swedish massage, with pressure always checked in on and adjusted to what feels right for you.

Pregnancy Massage

Designed specifically for expecting mums, pregnancy massage can help ease back and leg pain, take pressure off tired joints and support better sleep, using positioning and techniques suited to pregnancy. Let Maria know your stage of pregnancy and any complications so she can tailor the session to you.

Hot Stone Massage

Smooth, heated stones are used alongside massage strokes to help muscles release more deeply, improve circulation and leave you feeling thoroughly relaxed, a good option if you carry a lot of tension or simply want a more indulgent treatment.

2 Hour Swiss/Deep Tissue Massage

An extended, two hour session combining Swedish and deep tissue techniques for a full-body treatment. Ideal if you're carrying tension in several areas, want more time spent on specific problem spots, or simply want a longer, more thorough reset, with pressure and focus checked in on and adjusted throughout to suit you.

Why book with Maria

Maria brings a warm, client-first approach to every session. Before moving to New Zealand, she owned and ran her own massage and beauty studio in Santiago, Chile, building her business around genuinely listening to clients and tailoring each treatment to what they needed.

Since then she's practised massage therapy here in Auckland, building a versatile skill set across sports, Swedish and relaxation, deep tissue, pregnancy and hot stone massage. Fluent in English and Spanish, Maria is known for her attentive manner and easy communication with clients from all backgrounds, and she genuinely enjoys helping people move, recover and relax better.
