Massage Therapist – Pat

Hi. My name is Pat (Patinya Witehira).  I am a level 5 trained Massage Therapist. I include Thai and Gua Sha techniques. I like the combination of Western and Eastern massage, it brings the best of two worlds together, and I feel it gives great results for my customers. 

​I came from Thailand in 1994 and have been living in New Zealand for more than half of my life. I love getting massages and consistently looking for the best massage therapist in Hamilton, NZ who can really get into my muscles, release the muscle tension. Then I met Reuben and he is the best massage therapist I ever came across. But then I could see that the massage therapist needed a proper massage too. Reuben wouldn’t just go to any massage therapist because he is concerned about his previous back injury.  I want to help him and I want to make him feel better. So, I went to get proper massage training and became a qualified massage therapist.  

I aim to help people to feel better both physically and emotionally. Massage can help reduce stress and increase relaxation. Research has shown “Stress hormone cortisol may be reduced by getting a massage, and the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine can be increased, which are known to help regulate your mood. By receiving regular massage therapy helps boost our immune system and flush toxins, increasing blood flow throughout the body. Massage can increase the level of lymphocytes which help the immune system fight off harmful substances in the body”
