Hello, I’m Yann — a certified male bodywork therapist and yoga teacher based in St. Heliers, Auckland. I maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming practice environment at all times.
With years of hands-on experience across Asia and the Middle East, I’ve built a deep understanding of the body and a diverse range of therapeutic techniques. My practice goes well beyond traditional massage: I incorporate assisted stretching and breathwork to take a genuinely holistic approach to your wellness. I’m also passionate about sharing health knowledge with my clients — so if you have questions or concerns, I always encourage open conversation.
My bodywork technique centres on deep tissue massage combined with targeted stretching and breathwork — an approach particularly well-suited to male clients and few female clients who benefit from moderate to high intensity treatment. It’s important that you feel comfortable with this level of work before booking; I’m always happy to chat through what to expect.
Alongside bodywork, I now offer 1-to-1 yoga sessions for beginners and those returning to practice. As a qualified yoga teacher (RYS200), I bring the same care and attention to each yoga session as I do to every bodywork treatment — sessions are personalised, unhurried, and welcoming to all levels. Yoga and bodywork complement each other beautifully, and many of my clients choose to weave both into their wellness routine.
I hold the following qualifications, which reflect my dedication and expertise:
- Certificate in Naturopathic Massage (2017)
- Diploma in Naturopathic Massage (2017)
- Bachelor of Health Science (2021)
- Certificate in Trainer Assisted Stretching (2023)
- Certificate in Hot Stone Massage (2023)
- Diploma in Yoga Teaching (2026) — RYS200
