Natasha has been working as a massage therapist for 13 years and creates treatments that blend eastern and western techniques for a relaxing and therapeutic experience. She first delved into the world of holistic therapies with Ayurveda and completed the diploma of Ayurvedic lifestyle management in 2008 at Wellpark College, Auckland. She quickly realised that body therapies were her passion and continued studying relaxation and therapeutic massage, receiving her therapeutic massage diploma in 2013. (Her now soon to be teenage son born in between!)

Experience in Ayurvedic massage was gained working at an Ayurvedic clinic in Auckland followed by further four years as a therapist at the luxury Spa at the Pullman Hotel in Auckland. 

For the past 9 years, Natasha has been working as a massage therapist and aromatherapist at Hospice West Auckland providing treatments to patients and their carers. Alongside this fulfilling work, she runs her therapeutic massage business GLOW at Clinic 45 in Grey Lynn.
