Recent Review:
“I recently experienced the absolute delight of a memorable night at the tranquil Maruia River Retreat in Nelson. As part of my package, I had the pleasure of a 1-1/2 hour massage with Sophie Best. I would consider it the best massage I have ever had. Her technique and touch were as intuitive as her ability to gently share guidance on what she could feel was going on in my body, mind. She was indeed on point, I left feeling uplifted and light – the most wonderful experience.” - Steph Wyborn, Founder: Hyoumankind Pillows
