About Us

Hi, I’m Laura — founder of Revitalize Wellness, massage therapist, yoga teacher, forever student of life, and proud builder of this little pocket of peace.

Revitalize has been more than a business dream. It’s been a soul calling, over ten years in the making. Born from my own mental health journey — complete with plot twists, deep dives, and wake-up calls — this space exists because I knew there had to be a better way to live, to heal, and to simply be.

Over the years, and facing my own deep mental struggles growing up. Life has taken me on a pretty wild ride, across the world and residing in beautiful New Zealand. Originally from the UK and 15 years out of the country. Safe to say. Well, it’s been a rollar-coaster. I’ve lived with monks in Laos, picked coffee beans in Indonesia, taught children in Cambodia, completed my yoga teacher training in Nepal and worked deeply with families across Southeast Asia. My search for healing took me beyond conventional systems and into the world of Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, reflexology, herbal medicine, breath-work, mindfulness, basically anything I could give a go at and holistic living at it’s finest! I’ve sat in stillness, studied ancient practices, and opened my heart to the full spectrum of what it means to be human.

Later in life, I discovered massage — not just as a physical therapy, but as a powerful bridge between the spiritual and the somatic. I understand healing from both ends of the scale: from injury recovery to soul-level restoration. And now, I get to walk alongside others on their own healing journeys.

Revitalize isn’t just a business. It’s a sanctuary built with intention — for the breathers, the breakdowns, the breakthroughs, the people navigating chaos, recovery, or rebirth. This is a space where you can drop the mask, release the pressure, and come exactly as you are.

And I’m not done yet. I'm currently about to start studying my Bachelor of Health and Science, working toward becoming a qualified naturopath and acupuncturist, while also completing my Level 6 Diploma in Massage Therapy. I believe in growth — not perfection — and I show up each day committed to learning, evolving, and walking this path with my clients, my community, and this wild thing we call life.

Revitalize is just the beginning. I have big plans — including launching a charity in the future to support those who need it most. But for now, I’ll keep showing up with heart, holding space, and reminding you that you're never alone in this.

Take your time, explore the space, and know this:

You are so deeply welcome here.
