About Positively Active

Hi, I’m Louise, owner of Positively Active. I’m a registered massage therapist (MANZ), triathlon coach (TriNZ L1), and certified personal trainer (L5) with a passion for empowering clients through a holistic approach to health, fitness, and recovery. My journey began in 2011 with my own fitness transformation, inspiring me to qualify as a personal trainer and triathlon coach. As my career evolved, so did my desire to provide more comprehensive support to my clients and athletes.

In 2018, I earned a Level 5 Diploma in Sports and Therapeutic Massage, followed by a Bachelor’s degree in Sports and Therapeutic Massage from SIT in 2023. I'm now pursuing a postgraduate certificate, focusing on chronic pain management to address a significant need in our community. At the same time, I’m expanding my knowledge in neuromuscular therapies and techniques to support the nervous system.

I’m dedicated to continuous learning and collaboration with Allied Health professionals to deliver the best possible care for each client's long-term health and wellness. My goal is to support you at every stage of your wellness journey, helping you stay positively active for life.

Hi, my name is Patrice and I am a dedicated remedial massage therapist. After raising our six children I returned to my previous passion, massage, by retraining through Toi Ohomai and Wintec in 2021 and 2022.

Since the completion of my studies I have been working at Positively Active and have, and will continue my learning through workshops and courses. I am committed to providing personalised care to each client, tailoring my treatment to address your specific concerns whether it be through use of deep tissue massage, relaxation, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, joint mobilisations, remedial exercises etc. My goal is to help you feel your best.

Out-of-clinic I enjoy the outdoors with friends and family, yoga, walks, mountain biking, op-shopping and giving myself space to just be still and breathe.
