About me
My name is Joanna Smith-Holley. I am a qualified and registered practitioner with over 20 years experience as a Shiatsu massage therapist. My clinic is located on the outskirts of New Plymouth in a peaceful and tranquil environment, just 15 minutes from the city centre.
I completed my Diploma in Shiatsu in 1997 after three years of study and clinical practice at the Shiatsu College Aotearoa in Auckland. I am an active member of the Shiatsu Practitioners Association of Aotearoa (SPAA), attending conferences and workshops at least once a year.
I also hold a Certificate in Massage from the Naturopathic College of New Zealand. This means that when a client comes for their first consultation I can assess which therapy will be most beneficial, Shiatsu or massage.
I am also a qualified Tai Chi instructor. For information about my classes go to the Tai Chi page.
