Some people arrive at a session already running on empty — overstimulated, overwhelmed, and holding themselves together by a thread. The last thing they need is to make conversation.

You never have to perform being okay in my studio.

If you need quiet — we have quiet.
If you need to cry — that's welcome.
If you need 60 minutes of complete silence while skilled hands do the work — that is not only valid, it might be exactly what your nervous system is asking for.

And if you find it hard to ask for this? That's normal too. Just message me before your session — one line is enough. I will never ask why. I'll just hold the space. 🌿

This is what trauma-informed care actually looks like.
You. In control. Always. 💚

At what point did a tight neck become normal?
At what point did you stop noticing the tension headache because it just lives there now?

I see it every week. People arriving in my studio having lived with pain for months — sometimes years — because somewhere along the way it stopped feeling unusual.

But your body has a baseline that isn't pain. A resting state that isn't braced. A version of you that wakes up without cataloguing what hurts first.

I know that version of you is still in there. And I know how to help you find your way back to it.

You don't have to live with this. That's what I want you to hear today. 💚

🤍 I’m so happy to be welcoming you back to my cosy little cabin in Churton Park! 🍂

To celebrate this little homecoming, I’d love to treat the first 20 clients who book a massage with me to a beautiful bag of Salt and Oil bath salts — a little extra self-care to help you unwind and relax after your treatment. 🌿

It’s my way of saying thank you for being part of Emma-Kate Wellbeing.

Spots are limited, so book early!

Welcome back to my little green cabin.
I will now be working from home at 8 Atwood Grove, Churton Park.

The booking system still shows Capital Gateway; you can keep booking your massages, and the system will catch up soon.

I was born with a rare heart condition. Given a 1% chance of life. My mum, Sally-Anne, refused to accept that. She fought for me, carried me, and enabled me to reach adulthood against every odd they gave her.

The Brain Garden Trust is my tribute to her. To her love. To everything she poured into a child the world had already written off.

Every year, a significant number of New Zealand children are born or diagnosed with life-changing, long-term health conditions. They deserve the same fighting chance she gave me. That's why this charity exists.

We provide mindfulness-based support to children living with long-term health or neurodivergent conditions — and to the families who love them, who often feel unprepared and helpless while navigating a life they didn't prepare for.

Living with a long-term condition isn't game over. It's just a different journey. 💚

I don’t know about you, but I really struggle with taking time out. 🌿

I often tell my massage and coaching clients how important it is to take well-being days. To rest, pause and look after yourself, so you can actually keep showing up. But practising what I preach? That’s the hard part.

I can’t care for others the way I do in my work if I’m running on empty. And I can’t turn up for my family and friends either.

Still, a day off with no “productivity” feels really uncomfortable. So today I’ve:

🏊 Been for a swim (it’s part of my mental health)
🛍️ Done a little shopping
😴 Had a nap
💪 Got a session with my new PT coming up

And that’s about it. Resting now means I can fully show up for my clients for the rest of the week.

How do you handle taking time out? Do you struggle with it too? 👇

Exciting news! 🏡

Emma Kate Wellbeing is moving back to my Churton Park premises at some point in October!

I’m so grateful for how welcoming Capital Gateway has been to my clients and me. I’ll really miss you all. Jess and I can’t wait to welcome you back to the cabin and show you our new home, which is finally finished.

Booking: Please keep booking as usual through the online system. It will show Capital Gateway until it changes. When I move, I’ll give you plenty of notice of any change to your appointment’s location or date, so please don’t panic.

New to me? I’m just one stop off the motorway from Newlands, the next stop heading northbound. There’s plenty of parking in my driveway and on the street, so it’s super easy.

As soon as I have a moving date, I’ll let you know. It’s just too exciting to keep to myself!
