RSM Massage NZ — Massage therapist in Dunedin, F7

Miriam Marler offers trauma-informed bodywork and massage informed by Traditional Thai Massage, breathwork, and somatic bodywork. Sessions are designed to facilitate deep parasympathetic nervous system relaxation, address needs for tactile feedback, nonverbal communication, and somatic awareness. Her approach encourages fascia release, improved blood and lymph flow, increased flexibility, stress relief, and emotional release. Treatments are performed fully clothed on a futon on the floor, promoting a grounding experience. Miriam has experience working with clients with ACC sensitive claims to support their journey back to their body and create experiences of safe touch. She is part of the Aotearoa Embodiment Collective, a collaboration with Jooske Honig, focused on movement exploration, body wisdom, and connection.
