HEALING MATTERS offers you - personalised therapy whether it be for pure relaxation or remedial therapy.
Totana calls on over 25 years of healing skills and experience to provide you with professional and personal treatments in a relaxed, friendly and supportive environment using a holistic and multi disciplinary approach.
Having lived half her life in the Otago countryside and then the other half in the Christchurch environment Totana has continued to seek greater knowledge and understanding of life as it presents itself to her. After a background of office based work she attended the Canterbury College of Natural Medicine in 1995 to undertake a Certificate in Natural Health Studies. This has led on to a new path of working with people, healing herself and assisting others to heal themselves.
