Our therapist

As a registered member of Massage New Zealand, Alviva’s founder, Alison Wainscott has achieved the highest levels of training, and has the skills, knowledge and qualifications needed to provide both therapeutic massage and neuromuscular treatment. Alison has a Diploma in Therapeutic Massage and a Diploma in Clinical Neuromuscular Therapy.

Massage therapy brings together her expertise in educational design, her passion for lifelong learning and her commitment to helping people to feel better on all levels — physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

In addition to basing her practice on the latest research, Alison completes regular training to gain specialist expertise in areas that will directly benefit her diverse and growing client group.

She is currently studying Oncology Massage to ensure that she can provide the best possible support to clients living with a serious illness.

She is also interested in Epigenetics (which explores the ways that a person’s environment, lifestyle and thoughts can trigger different genes) and Sound Therapy (which focuses on the way that soothing sounds and vibrations can aid healing at a cellular level).
