Willow Creek Women's Massage is designed specifically for women - to provide safe, gentle and supportive massage therapy for some of the individuals who care for others the most. Originally from a cattle ranch in Willow Creek, Montana my professional background includes a Bachelor of Science in Health & Human Development and qualification from Sacred Roots Massage School of Montana. Currently a resident of New Zealand, I'm thrilled to be offering massage therapy in Blenheim.

As a Trauma-Informed Massage Therapist, I practice an approach to massage therapy rooted in privacy, clear communication and collaboration to create sessions that cultivate compassion, safety and trust. I offer an integrated approach which incorporates aspects of Swedish & Myofascial Massage. Due to additional training in the modalities of Neuromuscular & Craniosacral Therapy, I also incorporate these approaches throughout my sessions. As a Massage Aotearoa New Zealand Registered Therapist, I adhere to a strict code of ethics in addition to established education standards to ensure you receive qualified care. I am also a member of Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals and pledge my commitment to the highest principles of the massage profession. If you may be interested in booking a supportive massage, I'd love to meet you.

Testimonials

Caitlin was very intuitive in how she approached the massage. She offered for me to rest and relax and only communicate if I wanted to change pressure, but feel no pressure to "chat". That was relieving for me & allowed me to really maximize the full 75 minutes of massage work.

- Eliza N.

Caitlin was very gentle and thoughtful while massaging. She made sure I was comfortable and adjusted the pressure as needed to the perfect pressure. It was wonderful.

-Emily B.

Caitlin was so sweet and professional! She was also very communicative throughout the entire session. I liked how relaxing it was during and after. It was a great experience.

- Veronica J.

Flow from one area to next was great. Stayed connected and had good discernment. Draping made me feel like I could relax more because it was so careful. The shiatsu work she did on my arms was much appreciated.

- Ashley E.

Caitlin explained some new techniques before she started. They were effective! Especially for more shoulder relaxation.

- Heidi N.

Very relaxing, just the right amount of pressure! It was great.

- Tami B.

Caitlin is an excellent massage therapist. The 75 minute appointment covered a lot of problem areas as well as having plenty of time for full body relaxation. She is a great communicator and provides a sense of comfort and warmth for the duration of the appointment. There are thoughtful additions as well like the cup of herbal tea to finish that really make this such a lovely and genuine service.

- Laura H.

Very de-stressing, and effective. Professional, calming and confident.

- Kaitlyn J.

I thought the flow of the massage was excellent. Caitlin transitioned between areas in an effortless and soothing way, which made for a relaxing experience. Her work on my arms/hands felt especially great and I enjoyed lots of long strokes. I really loved the Reiki hold on my head! Very impressed by the flow of the whole massage. I loved the Swedish tapotement technique, too!

-Amy J.

I loved the abdominal work the best and the lateral moves across my back- such a nice complement to regular vertical strokes. Her hands were warm when she first touched me, and so was the table!

- Sarah G.

I felt like it was really focused on what I needed which was great. Shoulder and scalp massage were awesome!

- Olivia L.

Awesome focus on the areas I asked for more work on. Neck techniques were also super great. My shoulders and neck really feel so much better.

- Olivia B.

I really enjoyed the communication and flow of the massage. I felt extremely relaxed and comfortable. I loved the different pressures I got to experience as well as new techniques. It was awesome and always beneficial to try something new. Caitlin was great and so sweet. I appreciated her making the session so relaxing.

- Haily G.

Caitlin is an incredible massage therapist and extremely welcoming, making me feel comfortable throughout. She has thought of small details which makes the experience extra special such as a foot soak to start and tea at the end. Caitlin ensured that the massage was tailored to my needs. Totally recommend Caitlin. Also, loved being able to book online.

- Brooke W.

Caitlin spent so much time on my sore sacrum/low back area- I have resolution of pain that I've had for 2 weeks. I have had many massages and can truly say this is the best one I’ve ever had! I am very impressed. Overall excellent, she is so professional.

-Carly W.

Caitlin was so curious and genuinely interested in my needs and comfort. Loved the work and lateral moves- such a nice complement to vertical strokes.

- Christie G.

Good strong hands. Wasn't too light on pressure & went deeper in key areas. Depth of pressure was a good mix. I love deep, and her touch felt intentional in the right places.

- Melissa J.

Great work on the knots, really liked getting into them and loosening them. Caitlin found them quite quickly and worked on them from different angles! Great pressure.

- Kai C.

Caitlin checked in frequently and adjusted the pressure as needed. She checked in without being “chatty” or disruptive. I loved the scalp massage and the neck and feet massage the best. It was excellent.

- Carly W.

Addressed the shoulder from lots of different directions with arm range of motion. She started the session out with work on my legs which was really great.

- Lauryn M.

Such a relaxing and restorative experience! Caitlin is wonderful at what she does and I highly recommend.

- Madeleine D.

Loved my massage with Caitlin. The foot soak in the beginning was a lovely bonus and followed by a firm but relaxing massage. Caitlin is super attentive and I left feeling amazing.

- Nicole B.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do you offer pregnancy massage?
  

Yes! Willow Creek Women's Massage offers side-lying pregnancy massage from the second trimester onward. For non side-lying massage sessions, I can recommend Nicole at Muscle Matters Massage Therapy.

• I have very tight muscles. Do you offer Deep Tissue?
  

There are many different types of massage, and all have value and benefits for the human body. However, my specific approach focuses on soothing relaxation massage utilizing light pressure techniques. With that in mind, please note that I specifically offer light to medium pressure. While this can vary therapist to therapist, past clients of mine have referred to my pressure as being "light" in terms of overall pressure. If you are seeking a Deep Tissue massage, please note this is not offered at Willow Creek Women's Massage. Kindly email for a friendly referral to another qualified therapist in Blenheim if you are seeking this deeper tissue work.

• Can a male client book a massage session?
  

Willow Creek Women's Massage (WCWM) focuses specifically on those who identify as female. With that in mind, only those that identify as female are able to book. If you identify as male & are interested in finding a massage therapist, feel free to reach out. I would be happy to refer you to another qualified therapist in the Marlborough area! I also recommend the Find a Therapist link on the Massage New Zealand website.

• What environmental considerations are taken at WCWM?
  

WCWM cares about environmental impact & practices a low-waste business model. This includes purchasing the majority of products from local & regional suppliers in addition to avoiding plastic & non-essential packaging. This is achieved by prioritizing compostable and environmentally responsible alternatives.

• Where do you source supplies from?
  

Tui Balms in Takaka is the local supplier for all massage balm used. Tui Balms products use a natural formulation of certified organic NZ Beeswax, Almond Oil, Olive Oil & Vitamin E. Other suppliers include Bin Inn Blenheim for bulk items (refillable soaps and detergents) as well as a North Island Lavender supplier, The Lavender Boutique in Masterton.

• Do you accept insurance?
  

As a Level 5 Massage New Zealand Therapist, I am currently unable to accept insurance. However, I can recommend a fellow therapist, Nicole at Muscle Matters Massage Therapy as a Southern Cross Insurance Easy-Claim Provider.

• Do you offer refunds?
  

Every step will be taken to ensure that a valuable & effective session has been given. However, in the case that you are not fully satisfied, WCWM offers a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If you are not fully satisfied with your massage session - or feel you did not receive what you had hoped - you will be refunded to the original payment method used.
