High Energy sessions help with incontinence...
Hi Pauline, I woke up this morning and wondered, why I felt so great, I have had three good night's of sleep, I was pondering what had changed...and then I realized I've slept better after the appointment with you. (I normally get up seven times a night..) down to two, so thank you very much. See you next time

The workshop was amazing thank you and very useful. I loved all of it: I found the exercise for grounding in our bodies that we did outside really helpful for me The handouts were awesome and I will use them I loved the oil I loved the meditation I especially loved the massage both giving and receiving.

"The most profound bodywork experience..." March 2019
Hey there,
I have taken the opportunity to spend a rainy Saturday to write a testimonial. It can be hard to fit such a profound experience into words but I have tried...
I came to Pauline’s beautiful healing space not knowing what to expect. What unfolded was the most profound body work experience I have had. She is highly skilled in having conversations about the deeply personal. This made me feel comfortable & confident, as well as setting up an understanding between her and I, for the healing session that unfolded.
Her attention & intuition throughout the massage made me feel held and safe. The session was tailored to my needs and I was able to surrender to the experience giving me a profound & life changing shift in perspective about myself. I am grateful for the experience and will join others who travel from Australia to seek her unique healing gifts.

Would I recommend Pauline Cannon absolutely! Hell Yes!
A little over three months ago I had my first visit with Pauline. I was very nervous and didn"t really know what to expect.
What I can tell you, is that Pauline's, loving , gentle and kind nature quickly put me at ease. My experience was the best I have ever had at the hands of a trained therapist.
Healing hands indeed... I walked out of Pauline's studio feeling like a new man, both in body and soul. Pauline took my session to a whole new level when asked if I was wanting to have a healing and experience a release using the power of life force activation to bring through the manifestation of the dreams and desires for my life. It has been a full, life changing experience since this session with Pauline.
For those of you, who think that all this sounds a bit "airy fairy", I am here to tell you, that I am living proof of those manifestations, which have happened to me since meeting this amazing heavenly creative, passionate person with healing hands.
My business opportunities have started flowing like a river I am more creative than I have ever been... the right people, things and finances have come through without resistance, and my family life has improved.
I feel alive and rejuvenated so much more than I can say, but I rather you go and see Pauline and experience this for yourself at the healing miracle working hands of Pauline Cannon.

It has taken baby steps, but I'm well on my way to discovering the Real Me! 1/09/2018
It took a year of looking at Pauline’s web page and large amounts of research before I bit the bullet to contact her to see if she was the person to help me with all my issues including self-hatred and low self-esteem, now I wish I had found my courage so much sooner.
A couple of e-mails and a phone call then saw me heading down the line, this nervous, self-conscious and awkward person walking into her studio was met by a strong vibrant woman who welcomed me with a big warm smile and relaxing me with a simple and gentle hug. I was soon opening up to her as she took her time to learn about me offering words of wisdom as we went, explaining what to expect and letting me know that I was in total control over what would happen, she personalized and created an experience for me that was absolutely perfect and needed at the time and better still with no judgement.
I have had several sessions with Pauline now and each one is created with what I need at that moment; Pauline checks in at the start to see where I am at and what I need. I generally start each session very self-conscious and awkward but end totally blown out of my mind and relaxed to the point that I don’t want to get off the table but just stay wrapped up in a blanket in total “la-la land”. Her intuition is spot on every time; her touch is sensitive and firm and she is so aware what is needed and at what time.
Over the last few months I have learnt a little more about myself; yes I am still learning to “get out of my head and into my body” and giving myself permission to have “me time” rather than give myself to everyone else all of the time but the self-hatred and low self-esteem is slowly reducing and the urge to learn who is the real me is bubbling away.
Over our sessions Pauline has been teaching me the importance of discovering who I am as a person; not only what I like and don’t like; but most important what I need for me. She shares her knowledge and has taught me that there is not only a whole new world out there to explore but deep inside me there is a nice person wanting to get out and show herself. She even sets homework; for me this is the one homework that when set I will do as without it I won’t make those changes and won’t discover who I am. I’m enjoying being in touch with what is going on outside and not being stuck in my head all of the time, the feeling of the fresh outdoor air and the sand between my toes at the start and the end of a long work day is so refreshing.
Please note that Pauline is also a woman who has managed to change this coffee freak of twenty plus years into a herbal tea freak much to the amazement and amusement of my work colleagues!!
Pauline is an amazing beautiful genuine woman who is passionate and focused in all she does; she has so much knowledge I can’t wait to find out what else she can teach me. If you are reading this and wondering should you make contact, DO IT, don’t waste months thinking about it like I did…

Embracing the Juiciness of my Delicious Sensual Self...27/03/18
'I have just experienced the most amazing couple of days in Pauline's hands.... they are truly magical hands.
After the breakup of a long term marriage I found that I had been missing the touch and sensuality of another human way more than I had ever thought I would.
I had very little intimacy in the later years of my marriage due to my own hang ups, past sexual trauma, weight gain, loss of attraction to my husband, and a general lack of acceptance and dislike for myself.
I have done a lot of soul searching, lost some weight, treat myself better and have started to love myself again and felt the need and the want to ‘get back on the horse’ sexually again.
God where do you begin to even get started?
I had no idea! Someone mentioned to me about Tantra massage being a way that you can explore your sexuality/sensuality in a safe, healthy way. So I went on the internet and found Pauline at Nurturing massage.....
Wow! wow! Having spent 3 days with her I am a new woman.
Pauline took her time to chat with me, to tune into where I was at, and what my needs were, she made me feel completely comfortable and that I was in safe hands. She then set a program for me which took me through a series of treatments/massages that would guide me back to my sensual self (who has come to realize that having someone’s touch and loving attention to my body was exactly what I was in need of and was what I had been craving for).
Yes, I was nervous and unsure of why I was there and what the outcome was going to be. But I made the conscious choice to go with what felt right and not to judge it, or myself...
...and the outcome was total ecstasy and the realization that some things are NOT WRONG... they are just DIFFERENT.... I even opted for the 4 handed Yin Yang massage with Pauline's partner Murray which I found extremely enjoyable .... not for everyone I know... but, if you think it's something you might like, then put your trust in Pauline she is very professional, considerate and very skilled at what she does, and I thank her and Murray for a most wonderful experience which has helped me, to know that I am worthy of intimacy and that I have the ability and confidence to now move on in my life and fully experience all aspects of my sensuality and therefore get the very best out of the years ahead of me.
Thank you again Pauline. I so wish that I could live in the bubble of your touch, it would make me a very happy lady.

Self love, acceptance and finding my feminine goddess again...19/2/2018
I had major body issues and low self esteem... I am overweight, and could hardly look at myself in the mirror, let alone being naked in front of that mirror! I felt completely disconnected from myself and had a total lack of self-love.
I went to see Pauline at Nurturing Massage after it was recommended (by another therapist, I had been working with) I get a sensual massage to help me love and accept myself.
Well, I got so much more than that! Pauline was amazing. She created and held a safe space, free of judgement, which allowed me to relax and start my journey of self-love and acceptance. She helped me realize that I have actually forgotten how to be a beautiful, feminine goddess!
Our one on one sessions spanned over two weekends (with weeks of homework in between) and even though my marriage broke up between these weekends, leaving me on an emotional roller coaster, Pauline managed to help me feel better about myself.
She somehow re-ignited that feminine spark that I thought I had lost completely.
Pauline is warm, gentle, funny, down to earth and the most loving person with a heart of gold! Her love, knowledge, guidance and friendship is invaluable and helped me find myself again in a very difficult time of my life. I am grateful for her continuous support on my journey to be the best version of me. 🌸 Anonymous me 😊

Warm and Inviting...25/8/16
Thank you for checking in with me this morning. Coming to you was one of the few things I did without thinking too much. I have a tendency to overthink everything. I came with little by way of expectations of what I was to receive, and although I knew it was a little bit more than a foot rub and was prepared for that. What I really wanted was to let go and take whatever came.
The warm and inviting way your studio was set out and your whole manner set me at ease completely. I started off a bit cautious but didn't end that way. I felt very cared for and safe, but at the same time empowered and exhilarated and for that I wanted to say "Thank You", you have a very special gift - Thanks for sharing with me.

Today's session was my first down this path...24/6/16
Hi Pauline I wanted to say thank you for your professionalism, your caring nature and your ability to hear not just listen, today's session was my first down this path, but because of you definitely not my last.
I cannot thank you enough for your caring nature and expertise, you found nerves that I never knew I had and opened many welcome doors to my sexual feelings that I never knew existed.
Thank you, my body tingled for a couple of hours after I left, never before has it felt so good. I highly recommend your service and I will be back many times for more. Please let me know when I can join further learning experiences with you.

Happier, Healthier and Loving it! 14/3/16
After many years of being in a loveless relationship. I visited Pauline in December 2015.
I was made to feel most welcome on my arrival and we sat down in the lounge and had a good discussion about my personal health, my perceived wants/needs and what I hoped to achieve. I was reminded that this wasn’t all going to happen in one session and that I too was going to have to make conscious changes such as letting go of past hurts etc.
Pauline introduced me to the massage table and left me to get ready. Upon her return she very quickly transported me to seventh heaven with her touch and various ‘tools’ she had at her disposal. Remember, I’m already in seventh heaven and I’m still on my front!
Upon rolling over, I was sent even further into ecstasy with her words of encouragement and her wonderful touch. As I had been so long without being touched, I thought I would climax almost immediately, however, the exact opposite happened. I couldn’t reach climax, but for once in my life, I didn’t care! I was so at peace within myself, so comfortable being me and enjoying someone touching and encouraging me.
I must have been on a high for at least a week afterwards and I was able to face the world with a whole new perspective. At this stage, I realised the importance of the initial one on one with Pauline, so that she could get to know me better.
Recently, I made a return visit, thinking we would get straight down to the massage, but no, again Pauline had the open and friendly discussion before we started. To say Pauline is a tease, would be an understatement! Using a whole range of accessories, I was very quickly brought/taken back to seventh heaven and then it happened! Pauline introduced hot stones to my back. My initial reaction was to think she was pouring hot oil over me, but I soon realised that the stones felt as though they were liquid and I can’t ever remember having experienced this beautiful sensation before.
Pauline is a beautiful woman, who is blessed with the talent/knowledge of how to make you feel like a king, but at the same time feeling so relaxed and so eager to have your own boundaries/comfort zones pushed further and further.
I now feel that I have a far more positive outlook on life, I have got rid of the past blocks and am far better equipped to deal with day to day challenges. Another big positive is that since my Dec visit, my Dr has reduced my blood pressure medication from a morning and nightly 95 mg Metoprolol tablet to a morning Metoprolol tablet, of only of 23.75 mg. I have also ceased taking a daily dose of 20 mg Fluoxetine ‘happy pills’. This is something I have been taking for at least five years and yet, in just over three months, Pauline has got all my ‘birds flying in formation’ and I feel so much better for it!
Pauline; THANK YOU!

"Love and Intimacy" 12/1/16
We couldn't wait to get back home...Whatever you've done to us last night is amazing. We've got a new perspective on life and most importantly us. We both didn't think we could possibly love each other anymore but it's happened. Thank you so much. We will definitely keep in touch with you. You have given us so much to explore within us that's new and exciting.

"Sensuality, Sexuality and Disability" 3/5/15
Hi Pauline,
I wanted to write to express my appreciation for your hospitality, courtesy and generosity offered in your session with me. It was so nice to be welcomed into your soothing touch space in a way that helped me feel at ease and open to the experience that unfolded. It was also reassuring to know that you had researched my condition and done your best to be prepared and accommodate my particular condition.
For me, being a mid 20's woman with a complex physical disability, it was wonderful to experience soothing and sensual touch for the first time. The massage was very relaxing and I felt truly taken care of throughout the session.
After having this experience with you it has given me a greater understanding of my body and mind and the importance of their connectedness.
Although I didn't achieve my "ultimate goal" it has given me a lot to learn and think about to find ways to develop my wholeness and to one day return better able to fully appreciate all that the experience can offer.
Until next time, be well.

"The Awakening of Ian"
On the way home I found myself spontaneously saying wow, every few minutes, out it would pop again, WOW!!
Having just turned fifty I found myself wondering if there wasn't more to sex and intimacy than what we've traditionally been led to believe.
Summoning all my courage, I booked in for a Sensual Massage. I needn't have worried, Pauline welcomed me and immediately made me feel at ease, explaining what was to happen and agreeing the boundaries.
The massage itself gave rise to the most wonderful and intense feelings I have ever experienced in my life. I felt as thought the skin over my whole body was fizzing.
I will be forever indebted to Pauline for opening my eyes and sharing such an amazing, indeed deeply spiritual experience with me.
I hope to see you again soon!

"Richards's Journey of his Sensual Self" - added 29/1/2015
Thursday 22 January 2015 was the day I embarked on a journey of discovery of my self in the gentle, caring hands of Pauline.
On the trip up to Te Aroha, my mind went over the unknown’s as to what was going to happen in the time with her, what would it be like and how I would react.
This was my first time.
A wonderful welcome met me at the front door and after a brief introduction I was escorted to a lovely room, scented with oils, candles gently flickering, music softly playing and a warmth that enveloped the room.
Having undressed and reclined face down on the soft massage table, Pauline entered and proceeded to massage my back, buttocks and backs of my legs.
Very quickly I drifted into a quite space of my own and welcomed the expert hands of this thoroughly professional and charming lady.
These hands worked the oil into my wanting body, shoulders, back, and buttocks, then with a gentle caress, my prostate, the vibrator and hot stones adding another dimension to the bliss.
By now I was completely relaxed and in the hands of this delightful lady, the warm oil and her hands doing such magic to these parts of my body, she was in control of me and it was heaven.
On turning over, I had a chance to open my eyes and look on the face and beautiful breast of this lady who was transporting me to another place.
Receiving a massage with warm oil was so pleasurable and attentive I wanted to stay here for ever. No part of my body was left wanting. I was complete.
My body was just glowing, like I have never experienced before. A beautiful final massage of my head and scalp brought the time to an end.
I wished this would last forever and could be had very frequently.
Thank you Pauline for this lovely healing touch, I will be back as often as possible to experience this again.
Thanks

Very quickly I drifted into a quite space of my own and welcomed the expert hands of this thoroughly professional and charming lady.
These hands worked the oil into my wanting body, shoulders, back, and buttocks, then with a gentle caress, my prostate, the vibrator and hot stones adding another dimension to the bliss.
By now I was completely relaxed and in the hands of this delightful lady, the warm oil and her hands doing such magic to these parts of my body, she was in control of me and it was heaven.
On turning over, I had a chance to open my eyes and look on the face and beautiful breast of this lady who was transporting me to another place.
Receiving a massage with warm oil was so pleasurable and attentive I wanted to stay here for ever. No part of my body was left wanting. I was complete.
My body was just glowing, like I have never experienced before. A beautiful final massage of my head and scalp brought the time to an end.
I wished this would last forever and could be had very frequently.
Thank you Pauline for this lovely healing touch, I will be back as often as possible to experience this again.
Thanks

Summer 2014 - Finding the courage to live and love again...
Paid Pauline a visit yesterday and I must say what a wonderful experience it was.
As well as a physically fullfilling sensuous encounter Pauline gave some very helpful counselling and reawakened some feelings that I hadn't felt for a long while, leaving me feeling both physically and emotionally fulfilled. I now feel that I have a new outlook on life and am looking forward to some better things happening in my life.
I can definitly recommend a visit to Pauline to anyone whose love life is lacking or, as in my case just needs a little reassurance.
You won't regret it

Self Testimonial - All the amazing people we have worked with...
Pauline and Murray, lovingly at your service...
|
It has been over seven years since I fell in love with the concept of offering Healing Touch to those in need. I am grateful to have attracted genuine, loving, open-hearted and open-minded men, women and couples into my practice, whose "soul" (pun intended) intention was to grow spiritually, gain confidence and experience pleasure by connecting with their inner essence through my gentle guidance.
On a personal note, I have been blessed to have the support of a very loving and accepting, partner in Murray, who has grown alongside me, encouraging me to be the best of the authentic me. Together we have found that by embracing the wholistic philosophy of Tantra and incorporating regular intimacy rituals into our own lives, we are able to lovingly come from a place of open heart to encourage others to explore this wonderful dimension in their own lives. We often get together with friends to share bodywork sessions and openly share our love of touch with others. It has been a pleasure to meet and work with people of all ages and all walks of life. I am so happy that New Zealander's are slowly coming to realize just how important receiving loving touch is to their health and their state of mind. I know that I have mentioned this previously and I may sound like a broken record... but Touch is one of our primary love languages, without it, we deteriorate. Mindful touch awakens the body, builds and supports the immune system and helps with depression. We have seen people in the early stages of grief, when they haven't received loving touch from their partners, and after one bodywork session they are transformed, to a higher place of fulfillment and ecstasy within their bodies. I encourage you to invest in yourself and your relationships, by making the time to see me or both of us, if you feel that you could do with some loving connection and respectful touch. We are able to customize your session uniquely for you. Even if you live out of town or out of state, we are able to create a pamper package for your convenience where you can stay unwind and be nurtured with friendly hospitality and healthy meals. So connect with me if you would like to discuss your needs and desires, I would love to hear from you. Yours in Service Pauline |
Winter 2014 - Athenree Homestay & Holy Spirit Massage - Mr H (Wellington)
I spent a couple of late winter days in the company of Pauline and Murray at Athenree recently. It was a lovely place to be and I felt welcomed and cared for - like a guest and like part of the family. It was a great space to be.
The bodywork was great. I found it allowed my mind to drift off and my heart to open. I was able to reflect and find insight, which made me laugh and it made me cry.
As I shared my insights Pauline was beside me sharing her messages of love and supporting me to transform insights into understanding and knowledge. I felt completely cocooned in care, safety and love. It was a great experience and one I look forward to return to again.
Thanks Pauline!

April 2014 - Mr/Mrs X (Coromandel) - Absolute Surrender/Couples Sacred Sensual Session
This morning I rang for a catch up with Pauline, I know that phone conversation never goes as it would with any other person. When Pauline asks, “how’s life”, what she is really meaning is, “have you had good orgasms lately to release the endorphins that you need for healing”.
This might be a funny way to start a conversation, but once you get to know Pauline and Murray, it’s not that funny at all and you really do find yourself opening up about how you are feeling and also getting a small lecture, a friendly one, but a lecture none the less! “HAVE MORE TOUCH, USE YOUR VIBRATOR, RELEASE THE ENDORPHINS WITH AN ORGASM”
Tell me who else in the world would tell you that you need to orgasm more…… and also tell you if you can’t orgasm with your husband, then do it alone while he is at work and the kids are at school.
Now, I have some pretty serious body issues, physically and mentally. I am a size 20 and dread looking in the mirror. I have not been abused in any way at any time in my life, so I do wonder why I have the issues regarding sex, touch and intimacy. Maybe I was brought up too proper?? And it was never spoken about or was told to cover up? I don’t know….
What I do know, and Pauline will bring this up in me whenever we talk, is that I need to be touched more often, I need to be played with and it needs to be fun!
A while ago, we had a session with Pauline, and also Murray this time. It was a little strange for us as a couple as we have never done anything like this before. First was my husband’s turn. Although he very much enjoyed being blind folded and touched he couldn’t reach the climax, but Pauline told him that is fine, and he enjoyed the mystery of the situation in the safe haven of Pauline’s rooms in Te Aroha. The room was all set up beautifully. Candles, comfort and the scene set for touch and healing.
For me, putting the head phones on with lovely music and the blind fold was so exciting! And I can honestly say having a six handed massage was a first for me! But WOW! It was incredible! Pauline taught my husband (Mr X) how to touch me and how to pleasure me.
A range of emotions then came of course, as I had hardly laid bare for my husband like that and now I was not only laying bare for him, but also Murray and Pauline! It was exciting, frightening, exhilarating and terrifying, but most of all it was just pure amazing pleasure!
Having my breasts massaged by four hands while someone else was massaging my inner thighs was just sensory overload, but in the best way possible!
Murray and Pauline, you keep doing what you are doing. The way you are helping couples and individuals is invaluable. Conventional therapies don’t work for everyone, and yes what you do is not conventional. But who can say they went to their therapist and came out with full body jelly and an incredible climax and release. I have now done both counselling and Pauline’s therapy, and I can tell you which I would prefer going forward! And it will be the one that gives me emotional and physical pleasure at the same time!
Love your work beautiful people, see you soon xxxoooxxx

"Caitlin Grace's Hot Stone Massage"
*Heavy sigh* I have just been BLISSBOMBED!
I have talked before about the importance of touch and I still believe that we all need to be touched, far , far more than we actually are.
I, myself, am a bit of a touch whore, I need to be touched , lots and often, In fact I think my idea of heaven is somewhere that you lie around being touched and pampered all day, every day.
Now, I'm not selfish (well maybe just a little bit), I also do a fair amount of touching, hugging and pampering of those people who are precious to me.
As I have said we all need touch and none more so than those who are healers, which, let's face it is all of us whether we realize it or not.
I have had a rough week this week, with lots of minor stresses and strains. This generally results in my shoulders hovering up around my ears somewhere, tension headaches and snappish moods, not great for anyone to be around. Luckily, I had booked in for a massage with the lovely Pauline from Healing Touch by Pauline.
I've had massages before and they have been great but none of them came close to the experience of a hot stone massage with Pauline. I had heard of hot stone massage before and seen images of people with stones lined up down their back but I had no idea what I was in for.
First up was selecting the wax that Pauline was going to use and since I was interested in feeling like a girly-girl I went for Jasmine and Neroli - simply divine. The room was dimly lit which created a lovely soothing atmosphere, as did the soft music and plush towels. So far, so massagey
Once I stripped off and snuggled under the towel Pauline reemerged and ever so gently, but firmly, started massaging my back And then she started hitting the knots and tight bits. Oh my Lord! You never fully realize how tight you are until a massage therapist hits those spots. Once she introduced the hot stones the bliss escalated to a whole new level.
At first I wasn't sure if she had just warmed her hands on the stones or if she was actually massaging me with the stones. She was. And OMG they are the most amazing feeling! The best way I can describe it is they feel like liquid heat and take your body into a completely different dimension. I imagine it as something akin to lava (you know, without the skin melting temperature), melty (in a good way) just hot enough to be soothing and make your muscles sigh with delight.
I cannot begin to describe for you all the intricate ways in which she used those stones.

Artist unknown
I do know that once I rolled over (not a small feat in itself as I was already mostly jelly from all the relaxation, oh and naked.... did I mention I was butt naked? And my boobs do tend to take on a life of their own when freed from the confines of my bra, so all semblance of decency had left the building by this stage. I went to a male masseuse at one stage and he discreetly left the room for me to roll over - one boob still managed to wrangle its way out from under the towel, which he thoughtfully tucked back in when he returned LOL.) now where was I?
Ahh, yes, lying on my back Pauline proceeded to place hot stones all down my front (delicious) which was great right up until I laughed and it became like a 10 point earthquake with stones about to be launched in all directions (note to self: tuck in boobs and don't laugh on the massage table).
After two whole hours of being pampered (could have happily laid there all day), oiled to within an inch of my life (still delightfully oiled even now as I write this - delicious), muscles in a state of total bliss, unfurled and soft, I feel unbelievably grounded in my self, centered in a way that I wasn't before we started.
Now, just a quick word for the ladies, Pauline also does breast massage (take a deep breath). She only does so if you are comfortable with the idea and let me tell you, you should get comfortable with the idea , pronto. Sure my husband "massages" my breasts on a regular basis but it is nothing compared to the therapeutic benefits of a proper breast massage and yes she uses the hot stones here too - heavenly. You see our poor breasts get hoisted into bras which prohibits proper lymphatic drainage, especially if you wear under wire bras (and with boobs the size of mine I need all the help I can get to keep them pointing outward and not downward).
If you want to make an appointment with Pauline (and really you should) go here. and if you are not in NZ or too far away hunt out your local massage therapist and book yourself in today because as the ad says "Because I'm worth it"

"Thanks Pauline, for the wonderful massage on Saturday - It certainly was the best I've had so far! "Had a hot stone massage with Pauline today. Blissfully relaxing and invigorating at the same time. Highly recommended!" |
"Thanks for the great massage! Wishing you joy and happiness In life's journey" "Pauline works magic with her massage. A combination of both strength and sensitivity, her intuitive touch allows you to melt, relax and release all at once. I highly recommend her and her work." |
"Since making our first appointment with Pauline, both my wife and I have enjoyed a number of aromatherapy and hot stone massages. Her professional & pleasant manner has impressed us and we would recommend her to anyone seeking a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
Pleasant surroundings and her understanding of our physical and spiritual needs combine to make us want to return on a regular basis.
A trip into our beautiful countryside to visit her should be the beginning of a wonderful journey."

"My new Journey to self-healing and pleasure,
I had the pleasure of receiving a Sexy Stone Massage, the experience for me was both pleasurable but also healing.
My husband and I have been together for 11 years, and over the last 7 years our sex life has been on and off and often non-existent for long periods of time. We have 3 beautiful children, ironically our oldest one is 7 years old, this is when we became focused on being parents and didn’t put enough emphasis on being husband and wife through love. And like all marriages, we have seen our ups and downs with careers, kids, and life. We had been to counselling, and I have visited many specialists as I just didn’t think I worked anymore… I hadn’t experienced a true orgasm out of pure love for many years.
My visit with Pauline started with a coffee, and a chat about life, it didn’t take long for the tears to start flowing as I explained how life has been for us over the last few years. I could sense Pauline’s energy that she could help me, but in my mind how could she, after all, all the doctors and not even my husband could help me.
I was there for a two hour hot stone massage, and Pauline knew I had boundaries regarding my stomach area and I was extremely uncomfortable with anyone seeing it, let alone touching it. The first hour was full back body massage with the stones and Pauline’s incredible touch. Pauline made me feel so incredibly relaxed and also at ease, with tiny compliments that would normally make me cringe. At no stage did she make me do anything I didn’t want to do, she asked permission to do the front of my body, at all times giving me the respect that I now know it deserved. Pauline worked all areas, when it came to my stomach area, I let her do her magic, although there were lots of tears (from both parties!!), I let go, not just in a way of allowing Pauline to do that, but let go of all the rubbish that has been hindering me from loving myself, and also allowing my husband to love me. Pauline combined the massage and her Reiki training to start to heal me of past hurts, past issues and more so the present issues. We talked about her Tantra training, and very much unlike me, I was curious. Pauline slowly and very respectfully gave me a sensual massage with a climax that was out of this world, and just what I needed to know I was not ‘broken’ in an area that for a woman should be nurtured and loved. At all times was Pauline respectful. It wasn’t about someone else that was pleasuring me, it was about my pleasure. At the time, it was like no one else was in the room with me, just me and my amazing climax.
But the exciting part for me was the feeling of release and pure ecstasy that I felt afterwards, I realised I am a woman first with needs and my husband is a man with needs, not just sex, but true loving that can only be felt when we release all of our past. A way that we can move forward with no baggage on board, so it is just about us as individuals and also lovers. Pauline has shown me a start to letting go and just being me and embracing my body and also my needs as a woman. I was so in awe of her and her ability that I thought my husband could benefit from the same experience. He too received a massage from Pauline that involved Hot Stones, and sensual touch. He also released past hurts, past anger and experienced the pure ecstasy that I had. We can now both see a way forward from our rut and with help from Pauline in the months to come, I am sure that we will just get better and learn to love each other wholly and unconditionally with no boundaries and expectations, just giving and receiving pure pleasure.
Pauline, you have shown us a way that no one has been able to, after many visits to counsellors and various things, who knew that this could be resolved with such love, respect and intimacy. I can sense after just one visit with you that you have changed us as a couple, and we will look forward to you helping us together on our journey of release and love.
If anyone has any doubt or inhibitions regarding this, there is no need to, what you will feel, whatever the treatment you may have is one of bliss, a state of complete calmness and awareness of yourself and also your capabilities.
The night after we both had our wonderful experiences with Pauline, we came home and made wild passionate love together, changing the focus of the experience from getting to the end goal with an average result, to not thinking of the end goal and just letting the pleasure take over and allowing each other to explore. Who knows, maybe one day we will even get that in tune with each other that I will allow the light on….But baby steps, the fact that we were so at one with each other was a miracle in itself, something we hadn’t experienced in a long time.
We both Thank you so much, you have a true gift that I feel we have only just seen the surface of, in just one day we see what we have been missing out on and are so looking forward to advancing to a higher level. Thank You Beautiful Lady xx"

"Alex & Erin's New Zealand Holiday"
"During our holiday to New Zealand in late April 2013, we were privileged to spend a three-day couple's retreat in Athenree with Pauline.
Immediately on our arrival we were delighted with the serenity, privacy and peace of our surroundings. Situated in a quiet neighbourhood a few minutes from the water, in an otherwise unassuming house, Pauline allowed us to make her home ours and let the weight of the world whisk itself away. We were shown to a private room with incredibly comfortable furnishings, and later shared a cup of tea with her in the back garden, taking in the sea breeze and the tranquillity of the New Zealand countryside.
It is rare in my life that I am afforded the luxury of completely forgetting about the time of day and my everyday to-do list, but during my time at the retreat, both of these concepts were completely absent from my mind, other than a vague awareness of day and night. Such is the restfulness and beauty of the space which Pauline has created for her clients.
Pauline pays special attention to the little things that make for a truly unforgettable holiday experience. Besides the unbelievably comfortable king-size bed and the other house furnishings, she would ensure we were eating healthily, preparing delicious organic meals for us, and she would act as our guide and show us the sights and sounds of the area, as and when we were ready to come out of our little nest and explore them.
Then there was Pauline's decadent two-hour hot stone massage. I had never had anything quite like it before in my life, and was unsure about what to expect. But, as befits a graduate of Barbara Carrellas' Urban Tantra Professional Training Programme, Pauline demonstrated an unmatched ability to create and hold space for me, allowing me to unwind completely into her touch.
The heat of the river stones penetrating my muscles was all at once a shock and a release, and in a matter of minutes I felt the tightness that I have had in my shoulders and back for many years simply evaporate. I don't believe I have ever been more relaxed in my life as in those moments, and I don't believe I've had a better night's sleep than directly afterwards.
Pauline's retreat gave my partner and I the ability to truly focus on connecting with each other, with no need to worry about time, food or unnecessarily demanding holiday plans. Add to that the delicious, sensual experience of one of her special massages as part of the retreat, and you have a intensely grounding, deeply nurturing experience which I neither have the words to describe in adequate detail, nor can recommend highly enough.
Thank you, Pauline."
