How are you? What are you doing?
Whether you are complementing an ongoing medical treatment, or seeking an alternative practice as preventative and maintenance care,

There's more to acupuncture than needles! We are all energy, or Qi, which is a combination of Yin and Yang. The healthier we are, the easier our Qi flows, harmonizing the Yin and Yang. Imbalances occur because of things like diet, lifestyle or stress, and can cause sickness, pain, emotional distress, digestive or sleep disorders and more.

If the eyes are the window to your soul, then iridology charts the path to your future health. A diagnostic process used by naturopaths, iridology can identify those aspects of your health needing your attention.

Rather than diagnose specific conditions, iridology identifies your individual constitutional and hereditary predispositions.

Naturopaths are holistic detectives. Viewing the human being as an integrated whole, the body inseparable from the mind, they're on a quest to discover the underlying causes of disease and the means to reestablishing health. Treatment options include nutrition, supplementation, herbal formulas, basic homeopathy and lifestyle recommendations.

More than just a foot massage, reflexology offers not only relaxation and stress relief, but also an effective, non-invasive approach to improving your health. The foot (as well as the hand and ear) can be understood as a map representing the whole body in a systematic fashion - you may already be familiar with the reflexology chart showing correspondences between these areas of the body and internal organs.

Just for Jedi? Not so fast, young apprentices. Since ancient times every culture has practiced energy work in its many forms.

Energy healing is a form of hands-on healing which reaches deep into the energy consciousness system and brings about profound changes in health and well-being.

Whatever you want is already yours. You just have to be clear in your intention. The Continuation is an activation that focuses your intention to bring about your self-healing.

Through the mediation of a facilitator, energy flows through you and aligns with the universal energy to bring about the highest good for who you are at that moment.

Awesome people of every culture and time have practiced and received energy healing. These practices all give benefit but don’t necessarily offer what is available today. Reconnective Healing is an accelerated version of traditional methods, one that tunes into not only all the frequencies of prior ages but also “newer” ones more recently discovered.

If a session of Reconnective Healing is savoring a delicious full-course meal, then The Reconnection^® is being dropped right into a French culinary school. Another way to put it is that The Reconnection^® teaches you - or rather your Self - how to fish.

Flower power! And we’re not talking psychedelics. Flower essences are way cooler: the healing energies of plants, infused by sunlight into water, and preserved with brandy.

Created from our native flowers, ferns, trees, seeds and plants, First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand are sacred plant medicine made with care and integrity. They work at a vibrational level on your body’s electromagnetic network to correct imbalances and realign your energy systems for optimal well-being. They can help us deal with stress, anxiety, the ups and downs of life.

Homeopathy goes way back. Its principles, based on “like cures like,” were first suggested by Hippocrates, the guy who dreamed up modern medicine. Then, 200 years ago, German doctor Samuel Hahneman formally developed it into a specialist system of medicine that today is known as safe and effective for people (and animals!) of all varieties.

Homeopathy treats a wide range of things - acute illnesses such as ear infections, colds and flu, sports injuries and allergic reactions; as well as chronic conditions including migraines, vertigo, asthma, menstrual problems, chronic fatigue and depression.

Homeobotanical therapy uses herbal energy to speed up healing and boost energy levels. Used in specific combinations, homeobotanicals open up your body's natural drainage systems and enhance nutrient assimilation.

Rongoa takes a broad view of the medicine we give and receive. Something as simple as a smile can be as powerful a remedy as one we eat, drink or apply to our skin. You’ll find lots of smiles at Healium (they’re free!), but also Māori medicine in the form of ngā rongoa (plant medicine) informed by botanical science and based on the principles of Rongoa Māori as taught by Kuia Olive Bullock of Te Kopere o Raehina (Traditional Rongoa Māori School & Clinic), Franchelle Ofsoske-Wyber and Pa Ropata (Rob McGowan).

The way you draw in and release a breath is often an accurate reflection of what is happening deep in your nervous system. When your breath is constricted, for example, anxiety and tension quickly arise and the fight-flight-or-freeze reflex automatically takes over.

In a breath repatterning session you learn how to breathe in a more wholesome way by activating the diaphragm muscle and paying attention to how the breath flows in your body. Directing the breath consciously is a way of communicating with and calming your nervous system. When the out-breath is emphasized, as in a deep sigh, your body relaxes and you experience a stronger sense of being grounded and confident.

Hands-on energy healing reaches deep into the energy-consciousness system and brings about profound changes in health and well-being.

Blocks or distortions in the energy system can arise in many ways, such as past experiences of stress, fear or trauma. When repressed, these persist into adult life, where they constrict our natural energy flow. Healing sessions clear and charge the human energy system, dissolve blocks leading to disease and enhance the body's natural healing ability.

Beset with overstimulated sarcomeres? Fear not, trigger point therapy is your friend! Long-term chronic pain or restricted movement is a clear sign that these sometimes-pesky microscopic contractile units are stuck.

This is intended for practitioners in the healing arts and others committed to consciously tracking and bringing to awareness the automatic reactions and repeating patterns of their energy-consciousness systems.

Practitioners are frequently exposed to events in their client interactions that trigger unhelpful reactions in themselves, and these reactions need to be identified and addressed to maintain professional effectiveness.

Reiki is a simple and natural, hands-on healing technique that relaxes, releases stress and maximizes your body's health potential. By activating healthy energy flow through the physical and etheric bodies, cleansing and harmonizing systems, Reiki promotes radiant well-being on all levels. Depending on your healer, your experience may include the intuited use of overtone chanting and shamanic body communication tools.

Want all of the benefits of yoga without the effort? Thai yoga massage may be for you! It's often called "lazy man's yoga" because the practitioner moves your body through a gentle series of stretches and uses compression along the primary energy lines of the body to bring about energetic and physical balance.

Massage just makes life better. We have so many kinds on offer - from the energetic work of tui na to the earthier work of deep tissue, pregnancy and sports.

Know you need some “work” but not sure what? Intuitive therapy sessions don’t throw everything in but the kitchen sink, but they do give your body exactly what it needs in the moment, drawing upon a wide range of practices: Swedish massage, trigger point therapy, craniosacral therapy, Ortho-Bionomy, Reiki, intuitive therapy, The Continuation, Reconnective Healing and The Reconnection^®.

Deep-tissue massage is exactly what it sounds like: a remedial treatment using strong pressure, within your comfort zone, to really get in there and iron out the knots! Your practitioner will often use slower strokes to access the deep muscle layers and get to the root of long-term muscular discomfort.

Many women report that pregnancy massage is the best thing they did for themselves during the months leading up to the most beautiful of days.

When was the last time you completely let go? Come in for a nourishing treatment using rhythmic massage strokes, gorgeous energy and gentle bodywork to ease out the crinkles.

You might be an elite athlete or a weekend warrior. Perhaps you have a nagging injury, or want to make sure you steer clear of one. Or maybe you're just really concerned about your iliotibial bands. Whatever the case, sports massage is your ticket to muscular health and peak performance.

When your muscles are sore or beat up from heavy training, your body lays down more fasciae to defend against further damage. These fasciae, however, bind up your muscles and impair their proper functioning. Your therapist breaks up these adhesions using a variety of tools: postural assessment, deep massage techniques, soft-tissue manipulation, stretching, bodywork and trigger point therapy.

Tension might seem a mysterious and unruly visitor, but it often develops within the body in predictable patterns. By treating the whole pattern, this form of massage excels at seeing any unwelcome guests to the door!

Sometimes rubbing or massaging a tense or tight part of the body isn't enough to relieve the ache, pain or tightness. It may even cause bruising or irritation. This can be because the tension is "anchored" out in the extremities of the body, as roots anchor a tree into the ground.

The all-massage that incorporates deep-tissue, therapeutic, relaxation and acupressure (actually, it's more than just acupressure) techniques and has been around for a few thousand years. It works on your muscles, tendons and ligaments as well as on your energy channels, and is as sound theoretically as acupuncture.

Qi gong is the wise grandfather of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), from which sprang acupuncture, massage and herbal medicine. Literally translated as "energy work," qi gong is often described as "Chinese yoga." Its meditative exercises are performed in time with breathing and awareness - they can be done fast, slow or stationary, as well as standing or seated. They can be performed individually, partnered or in a group setting.

The Feldenkrais Method of movement education helps you become aware of how you use your body, improving how you move, feel and live.

While lying or sitting in a group class, you are verbally guided through a sequence of gentle, mostly non-habitual movements. You observe the quality of the movements as you perform them: Are they smooth or jerky? Which is easier or more comfortable? What happens if you do this or that?

Yoga was traditionally taught one on one and learning yoga in this way creates the most dramatic, life-changing results. Whether you’re looking to create a total transformation or accelerate your personal growth, or needing the therapeutic applications of yoga, private lessons provide a customized practice to develop dynamic well-being.

We are so happy to offer our teacher training programs to New Zealand!

You're already awesome. So now what?

The way we see it, being yourself is an ongoing process. And the more you do it, the better you get at it.

Meditation calms the mind and brings us to centeredness. From here, we are able to better see and understand ourselves, our lives and those around us.

Let's dispel a couple of myths. Ready? Meditation can be easy. It can be fun. Anyone can do it. Somehow, we've been told that it's about "emptying your mind of all thoughts." That's a pretty huge leap, and rather impractical for most of us.

How about we make it interesting, and relevant? And easy, and fun? How about knowing it can fit into a bus ride? How about only doing it when you feel like it?

Healing often happens in stages. We step from stage to stage as we follow our path to awakening the limitlessness within us. Emotions are often stuck in the soft tissue of the body, so the metaphysical approach of intuitive coaching involves not only verbal coaching as we discover new definitions and beliefs but also treatment - both physical and energetic - of the body.

You spend most of your time at work, why not feel great there? Healthy people take fewer sick days, get more done and are happier while doing it. Healium can send its mighty team to your organization for on-site renewal through massage, acupuncture or the Feldenkrais^® Method, or you can host a variety of hour-long programs:

I am so happy that I discovered Healium. Yoga with Jenifer is wonderful and she knows how to create a welcoming and peaceful atmosphere in every class. I've been seeing changes in my body, discovering muscles I didn't even know were there! Plus, she'll put you in the good position if you're slightly off with a very subtle hands-on approach. But it's not all about yoga, there is so much offered by Healium.

Healium yoga is awesome. We love that Jenifer constantly moves around the class helping you get the positions right.

I was gifted a Groupy Deal Voucher for a Healium one-hour professional therapeutic massage of my choice. With the back discomfort I have had over the past 30 years, I chose a deep-tissue massage and was booked in with Evan Hodson.

I was so impressed with the stress-release results from this session, I now book a regular massage. Evan's therapy has enabled me to play golf on a weekly basis without the side effects I previously had. Stretching exercises recommended by Evan have also helped my situation.

With so many options these days it can be a hard and time-consuming process to find an excellent practitioner suited to the requirements of the individual. I was fortunate to have walked into Healium and to be treated by Simon.

There are quite a few yoga studios in Wellington and they do yoga up at the Vic rec center too; however, I haven't come across any other centers with such a focus on the mind-body-spirit formula. I'm a very spiritual person so this really appeals to me - and you have good teachers/friendly staff.

A friend gifted me a massage voucher from Healium and I decided to try energy healing with Katey. I was going through a very stressful period in my life and I felt immensely better both physically and emotionally after the session.

Initially, I came to see Katey for a wonderful, relaxing back massage. I was having some back problems, aggravated by my seating at work. The massage helped immensely and got me back on track. We got to talking about Bowen Technique and because I’d been experiencing an increase in migraines and tiredness, I booked a session. Bowen Technique has been a godsend.

By all means, my journey of life has just begun. Algernon has helped me to see my own potentials and endless possibilities of life adventures ahead of me.

I have been seeing Al on a fortnightly basis for a couple of years now and highly recommend him to anyone looking for more than just a great massage therapist. Al uses a holistic approach that not only soothes knotted, tight muscles but also soothes the soul.

When I first came to see Simon, I had been going to a physio for three months with no improvement in my weak back. Simon found all the sore bits on my back and, without adding to the pain, eased the discomfort. He said the sore points were like traffic lights on a road – and that lots of mine had turned to red.
