Hi there, I am Maxine of Muriwai Massage.

I am currently operating a therapeutic and sports massage clinic from beautiful rural Muriwai.

I have a background as a health facilitator in weight and lifestyle management and in the fitness industry with instruction and training. Over the years I have worked with various local gym franchises including Les Mills, Curves, Don Olivers and World Gym. I have also worked with clients at Stulhmanns Osteopathic Centre on a referral basis and currently work with clients at Auckland Shoulder Clinic.

I graduated from Faculty of Health Sciences – AIT, Akoranga Campus, North Shore with a certificate in exercise science and fitness centre training and also certified from the Auckland College of Massage in Khyber Pass, Newmarket.

I have been contracted as co-ordination and fitness trainer with Bright Sparks programme for children and young adults on the autistic spectrum and invest time to work privately one-on-one. I have many adventures in the spectacular Muriwai Beach wilderness golfing, cycling and surfing.
