About me
I grew up in a family where massage was part of our lifestyle. I have to give full credit to my mother who was known as the best masseuse in our area.
I have completed a Diploma of Massage through Brandon Raynor’s School of Natural Therapies (Changing Lives Since 1999) to add to my training and experience. I’m so fulfilled when I see my clients looking and feeling revitalized, rejuvenated, refreshed and restored after the treatment.

Testimonials
"I was fascinated by the fact that massaging the lower leg, feet, and toes could bring so much release of tension in the back. I also appreciated Robert explaining what and why he was massaging each area. This will be the first of many to follow."
Wendy B, Ashhurst
"I would recommend Robert’s professional manner and integrity in giving a full body massage - as Robert draws from a wide source of massage techniques and is trained to apply them, I felt I was getting the best suited for each area. As a tradesman I feel this massage will be an integral part of my health regime."
Phil B, Ashhurst

Kevin, Auckland NZ

Rewarding results - aches and pains are no longer there specifically in my shoulders and it’s especially improved my sleep. You can expect honest and genuine service. He shows priority to his clients and their physical wellbeing. I personally guarantee and recommend his unique therapeutic massage. Thank you Alberto ‘what an awesome experience’. “

I guarantee you’ll have an amazing experience.
How to Enhance your Massage Experience- Have a hot/warm shower before your massage treatment. You’ll feel more relaxed.
- You'll feel more comfortable if you don't eat for two hours before your session.
- Draping will be employed for traditional massage.
- Let your therapist know if you have any medical or physical conditions which might contraindicate certain types of treatment.
- Remove any unnecessary jewelry that could cause scratching or interfere with having a smooth massage.
- If you wear glasses or contact lenses, consider removing them. It may add to your relaxing experience.
- If you're concerned about getting oil on your hair, inform your therapist. You won't want to miss out on a head massage!
- Quieting yourself will allow you to tune in to your experience and relax more deeply.
- Do give your therapist feedback regarding your experience and feel free to ask any questions you'd like.
- Breathe deeply and regularly, stressing your exhalation. Imagine your body becoming heavy and sinking into the table or mat. As the therapist locates areas of tension, consciously allow yourself to breath and relax into those areas.
- Sometimes during a massage or other type of treatment emotions will surface. It may be of great benefit to release and work through them if you feel comfortable doing so.
- If you aren't comfortable with the Massage Therapist touching you, the treatment isn't going to help you regardless what techniques they use. Be sure to tell them if something makes you uncomfortable, and feel free to ask questions about anything they do. You should feel respected and honoured, and the session should provide opportunities for you to relax and get back in touch with yourself.
- Remember that any MT needs to know if you are seeing another practitioner, in order to make sure the massage won't interfere. Many people don't know for instance that if they are taking drugs, even for chronic illnesses, their dosages will often need to be decreased if they regularly receive bodywork treatments.

About Alberto’s Therapeutic Massage:
This kind of massage is a system of bodywork. It covers not just the muscles of the body but also the skeletal system and the subtle body energy systems. It has evolved from a combination of different styles from around the world that include Therapeutic massage, Deep tissue, Acupressure, Ayurvedic, Swedish, Hawaiian, Remedial, Hand and Foot reflexology. (Raynor’s massage)
There are so many different massage therapy modalities out there; Thai Massage, Indian Head Massage, Chinese Massage, Shiatsu... and the list goes on and on. While they are all essentially good massage therapies, Alberto’s massage is different.
It covers not just the muscles of the body but also the skeletal system and the subtle body energy systems of the body. It has evolved from a combination of different styles from around the world that include Therapeutic Massage, Deep Tissue, Acupressure, Ayurvedic, Swedish, Hawaiian, Remedial, and Hand and Foot Reflexology.
The simple philosophy of Alberto’s Massage is to find every bit of tension in the body and get rid of it by applying a holistic treatment starting on the area where symptoms or tension are showing and find the source of the tension. We will also emphasise on certain important parts of the body that are often neglected by traditional massage therapists, such as the abdomen, the sacrum, the hips and the feet, hands and head. These areas tend to hold a lot of stagnation and blockage of the life force and freeing them up will generally have a great benefit not just to the areas concerned but to the whole being.
An important concept of Alberto’s Massage is that the source of some of the residual tension in the body can be emotional or stress related reasons. Residual tension means tension that is in the person’s body when the body is resting, for example on a massage table. In other words if a person has muscle tightness in an area when they aren’t using that area this is what we call residual tension and our goal is to get rid of this tension. Unless the corresponding emotion is also released, some tension will remain in the body. Alberto’s Massage will be able to release this tension by utilising its massage techniques, rhythms and encouraging clients to practice the breathing technique during treatments and to allow any emotions out that need to come out and to not hold them back.
Alberto’s massage is generally recognised as one of the most powerful and effective forms of massage therapy today. It goes well beyond the realm of what most people consider to be the confines of a massage treatment. We often put bones back into place and can help a lot of different emotional and psychological conditions.
In fact, for some people good massage may be very uncomfortable if they aren’t used to it, but then as their healing crisis finishes their body should feel a lot better, have more mobility and a general feeling of being more relaxed should ensue.
The word “relax” actually means to bring back to a state of looseness. “Re” means to bring back to and “lax” means loose. So Alberto’s massage is actually a form of deep relaxation massage.
