Meet Kerry – 20 Years of Passion and Expertise in Sports Massage Therapy

At the heart of exceptional massage therapy is a practitioner who blends skill, intuition, and genuine care—and that’s exactly what Kerry brings to her clients. With over 20 years of experience in sports, remedial, and therapeutic massage, Kerry’s career has taken her from New Zealand to South Africa and now back home to Auckland, where she is excited to share her expertise and passion for health and wellbeing.

After completing her Certificate in Massage Level 6 (with Sports) at the New Zealand College of Massage in 2005, Kerry began her career at Les Mills New Lynn, offering a wide range of massage services in the wellness rooms of the gym. She then spent 12 years in South Africa, where she built a thriving practice working alongside a multidisciplinary team of Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, and a Biokineticist. During this time, she developed extensive experience treating:

  • Chronic pain
  • Injury prevention and rehabilitation
  • Athletes’ recovery and performance support

Kerry has worked with international sports teams including:

  • The South African Proteas during their test cricket tour
  • Super Rugby teams Rugby 7s tournaments in South Africa
  • The Springboks and All Blacks during the Tri-Nations

She has also provided pre-, post-, and mid-event massage to cyclists, swimmers, and triathletes, playing a key role in their physical performance and recovery.

But Kerry’s passion extends beyond elite athletes. She is equally committed to helping corporate clients improve mobility, reduce stress, and maintain a healthier, more balanced lifestyle through therapeutic massage. Kerry is embracing the lifestyle New Zealand has to offer and is excited to connect with new clients. Her approach is hands-on, holistic, and deeply rooted in helping others feel their best—whether that’s getting back in the game, managing pain, or simply finding time to reset and recharge.
