Rachael Brown 
Hi, I’m Rachael the proud owner of Whakatā Massage and Wellness. I have lived in Te Anau since 2003, my husband Perrin and I have two teenage daughters, Jorja and Talia.
​
I’ve been lucky enough to have been doing a job I am passionate about since 2003. I love seeing a client leave my clinic room with relaxed muscles, reduced pain and having had time for themselves so they have less stress.
It’s been a dream of mine to have my own clinic, mentor another therapist and create a deeply relaxing space where clients are our number one focus. Covid19 has allowed this to eventuate, originally our lovely clinic space was accommodation but when international travel was suddenly closed I saw the opportunity to create the dream.

After spending 15 years studying and working in the wine industry it was time for a change. So in 2014, I went back to study with the New Zealand College of Massage in Auckland and worked towards obtaining a certificate in massage therapy.

On top of this qualification I attended short courses in deep tissue, sports and pregnancy massage. On Waiheke Island I worked as a contract massage therapist for several of the islands exclusive resorts.

In 2015 we packed up and made the move to Te Anau. Here I worked for the Fiordland Massage Clinic for just over a year and then mobile for myself until this opportunity to work alongside Rachael Brown at Whakata came along.

​During my time in Te Anau I have attended 2 workshops with a visiting massage teacher and guru from the states. I’ve completed deep tissue techniques for the torso, legs and hips in 2018 and in 2019 completed an in-depth deep tissue course for the neck area. I look forward to seeing you in clinic when you book in.
