Kia ora all,
We are reaching out to clarify some confusion regarding Dawn and her current situation. We understand that some may have missed our previous emails, social media updates or the prominent notice on our website. We are providing this definitive update so the information is clear and can be shared accurately. This should provide context for those whose appointments have been cancelled, as well as for those seeking to book with Dawn in the future.
Dawn’s Services:
Dawn is very unwell and is currently unable to work in any capacity. She is not returning to NZBMA, nor is she offering massage services to past or current clients for the foreseeable future. While we appreciate the many recommendations, being a true testament to her decade of heart-led work, her health must now come first.
Communication and Boundaries:
If you wish to reach out to Dawn personally please do so at your discretion. However please keep the following in mind:
- Capacity: She may not be able to respond to messages.
- Privacy: Please refrain from asking about the specifics of her health. This is a private matter and if you were meant to know the details you would already be aware of them.
- Business: Please do not contact her regarding bookings or any business matters. This creates weight she cannot carry right now.
What Dawn needs most is space, kindness and time to heal without pressure. It is easy to imagine how challenging the inability to work is for her, so we ask that you please show decorum.
Enquiries:
Wayne is managing enquiries as best as he can within his own capacity. Please note, Wayne has specialised and his Body Mechanic service is unique. Equally, he does not offer the same treatments Dawn once did. If you require a recommendation for a different therapist, we are happy to assist. We ask that you remain mindful of these boundaries and show the same respect we have come to expect from our community.
Cheers
