Kia ora, I’m Esther — a qualified massage therapist based in Whangārei.

I grew up here in Whangārei and feel grateful to call this place home. A mum of two, when I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, being near the ocean, and getting outdoors and exploring the many beautiful nature walks around Whangārei.

Why I started Balance Within 

I started Balance Within because I believe everyone deserves access to nurturing, professional massage — especially those who find it hard to travel or don’t feel comfortable in a clinic setting. My in-home service allows clients to receive care in the comfort and safety of their own space.

I love seeing the happiness and relaxation that massage brings to my clients.

Massage has always felt like a natural calling for me. I’ve seen firsthand how powerful gentle, intentional touch can be — not just for easing physical pain, but for calming the nervous system and supporting emotional wellbeing.

Every massage is tailored to meet each person with care, presence, and respect.

Affordable in-home massage in Whangārei

I offer 30 minute in-home massages for $65, including free travel within Whangarei. This includes massage for your arms, hands, legs, feet and shoulders and neck if needed, all from the comfort of your own home.
