About Alana
Alana Marsh is a Rongoā Māori practitioner based in Hamilton with over 25 years of hands-on experience in massage therapy and traditional Māori healing. Her practice is deeply rooted in cultural knowledge passed down through whakapapa and built on decades of professional work.
She has worked alongside physiotherapists in clinical settings, with top New Zealand athletes, and with elite national and international sports teams. That breadth of experience brings real depth to her home-based practice where clinical skill meets the sacred traditions of Rongoā Māori.
Alana is also a matakite, gifted with the ability to see, hear and converse with wairua. This brings a spiritual dimension to her work that many clients find creates a profound release they weren't expecting.

A sacred practice rooted in Māori culture, incorporating energy work and spiritual elements to restore balance to body, mind and spirit. Deeply connected to whakapapa and wairua.

Safe, supportive bodywork tailored for your pregnancy journey at any stage. Specialist positioning with focus on neck, shoulders, lower back and obliques where most discomfort settles.
Designed for young people navigating growth spurts and active lifestyles. Relieves growing pains and muscle fatigue while supporting their bodies through this critical stage of development.
An intimate 2-hour guided session for two — partners, friends, or whānau. Learn the art of touch and the sacred exchange of energy in a warm, supported environment.
Professional-grade massage tables for short-term hire, specifically for those who have recently completed their wānanga training and want to continue practising at home.
The Gift of Matakite
"I have been born with the gift of seeing, hearing and conversing with wairua. This enables me to pass on messaging from wairua — always given to understand the issue, whether that be physical, emotional, or for guidance in the present and future. Resulting in a profound release of stress and worries."
— Alana Marsh
