AROHA MASSAGE + SOUND HEALING
Rosanna has created alchemy with the combination of ancient massage techniques + ancient sound healing.
This beautiful, intuitively deep session was created for those who are committed to clearing old patterns and outmoded thought processes. Designed to cleanse away trauma and emotional pain held deep within the tissues of the body, this session is a must to experience.
Connect and clear with the deep unfathomable sounds of the Earth gong.
Aroha signature massage followed by sound healing with the Earth gong is a blissful, awakening and deeply healing session that has been developed by our team through the profound experiences both ourselves and our clients have had with gong sound healing. An ancient healing instrument, the gong clears the mind, blockages in the body and allows for detoxification and deep healing to take place.
Rosanna and Benton have been training with gong master, Mehtab Benton, both online and in a private session with him.
“The gong is the first and last instrument for the human mind. There is only one thing that can supersede and command the human mind - the sound of the gong. It is the first sound in the universe, the sound that created this universe. It is the basic creative sound. To the mind, the sound of the gong is like a mother and father that gave it birth. The mind has no power to resist a gong that is well played.” ~ Yogi Bhajan

AROHA HAWAIIAN KA HUNA MASSAGE
To try and define Hawaiian Ka Huna Massage at Aroha Love is like trying to describe what a flower looks smells and feels like to some who have never seen that flower before. You only ever really ‘know’ by the experience of holding the flower in your hands and breathing in its lush fragrance and being in awe of its magical beauty.
Like the essence of a flower, Hawaiian Ka Huna Massage is beyond words and in that moment of giving and receiving it is best to describe the experience as pure love. Ka Huna Massage is a celebration of our humanity; it is the massage of life. The massage techniques consist of the view that Hawaiian people have; that all aspects of the body are one, believing that the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual are all part of the ‘whole self’.
What makes Ka Huna such a very special style is the combination of movement, dance, rhythm, breath, energy and massage.
Rosanna is a Ka Huna massage specialist and is in constant movement around the massage table, following specific patterns of foot placement and body posture. Her arms, elbows and hands sweep over the body in long, flowing movements to the pulse of peaceful music, creating a very fluid and rhythmical massage.
The unstructured nature of the massage strokes switches the rational mind off and allows for deep body focused relaxation.
The results of Aroha Ka Huna Massage are direct and very powerful, requiring little time for integration. Recipients feel immediate changes in the needed areas, be they physical, emotional, spiritual or mental.

AROHA ARVIGO ABDOMINAL MASSAGE
Energy - Fertility - Digestion - Healing
Supporting Health + Wellness
The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy are inspired by the ancient Central American healing traditions of the Maya. Developed by Dr. Rosita Arvigo, this modality developed from her apprenticeship and experience with acclaimed Maya Shaman - Don Elijio Panti. Rosanna is a member of the Abdominal Therapy Collective, founded by Rosita Arvigo.
Arvigo abdominal therapy provides a complementary approach to health and wellness. These techniques are based in traditional healing with a sound foundation in basic anatomy and physiology; they are not a replacement for health care. Serious medical conditions are discussed with one's health care provider in collaboration with our Aroha Arvigo practitioner, Rosanna Marks. Rosanna is an Internationally licenced massage therapist.
Arvigo therapy provides support for organ functions and the 5 systems of flow (arterial, venous, lymph, nerve, chi) with specialised massage.
These techniques provide support for the physical health and normal position of pelvic and abdominal organs and any emotional holding patterns found therein. Soft tissue manipulations are used to gently support the normal alignment of organs, thereby supporting healthy circulation of blood, nerve, lymph and chi to support the body’s innate capacity to self-heal.
Dr. Rosita Arvigo, DN studied and learned the original Maya techniques over a 10-year apprenticeship with Don Elijio Panti, the great Maya Shaman of Belize. She was also exposed to other central American ancient traditions that represent an unbroken chain of knowledge handed down from generation to generation of shamans, midwives and healers. Unifying this all with over thirty years of training and experience in the natural sciences of massage, naprapathy, herbology, and spiritual healing; Dr. Arvigo developed the techniques which now bear her name.
The techniques include abdominal and sacral massage, castor oil applications, pelvic steaming, herbal preparations, and intention. A strong emphasis is placed on providing support for optimal reproductive anatomy and the normal position of the uterus via gentle external manipulation.
Arvigo Maya Abdominal Therapy is a non-invasive external massage technique that provides support for homeostasis-balance within and hemodynamic-good blood circulation in the body. The Arvigo technique provides support to the circulatory, lymphatic, nervous systems and the flow of energy throughout the body. This technique supports the normal position of the uterus and digestive organs, helping the body to release physical and emotional congestion, providing support for general health and wellbeing.

Pelvic or vaginal steams (Bajos, in Spanish) have a long history of use by traditional healers in various parts of the world, especially in Central America. Their popularity has been steadily growing in the West, and for good reason – vaginal steams provide nourishment of the area. They can help support the normal uterus emptying.
Testimonial
‘Rosanna from Aroha is a miracle worker. I've had several Arvigo and Steam treatments from her. I have no doubt that the work I did with Rosanna helped to prepare my womb for the implantation of a healthy embryo. I also found the treatment incredibly relaxing and it relieved stress in a way that I had not experienced before. In the past my stomach had always felt quite tight. The self-care Rosanna taught me transformed my stomach into a soft stress-free zone in a very short amount of time. I felt connected to my whole body and felt more alive. Once I have my baby I will be going straight back to Rosanna for after birth support. I believe that every woman would benefit from this treatment no matter what your circumstances are. I could not recommend this treatment with Rosanna more highly.' - Angela Maurice

AROHA REIKI ENERGY HEALING
Believed to have begun in Tibet thousands of years ago. Reiki practitioners channel energy in a particular pattern to heal and bring harmony. Unlike other healing therapies based on the premise of a human energy field, Reiki seeks to restore order to the body where vital energy has become unbalanced.
Reiki energy has several basic effects; it brings about deep relaxation and peace, disperses negative energy blockages, detoxifies and purifies the system, provides vitality and increases the vibrational frequency of the body.
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person; including body, emotions, mind and spirit, creating many beneficial effects that include feelings of peace, security and well-being. Perfect for those going through extreme stress and illness.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of energy healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and always creates a positive, beneficial effect.
Reiki also works in conjunction with and supports all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote healing recovery.
Your Reiki session consists of you being fully clothed on the massage table. The practitioner begins with the laying on of hands directly to your face, head and body, concentrating on traditional Reiki hand positions to assist the flow of energy through the body. You will feel an intense warmth from the practitioner's hands resulting in deep healing and relaxation.
Together we are focused on intention, mantra and well-being and as Reiki energy flows, you will discover and feel the incredible feeling of warm circulating energy with our Aroha Reiki sessions.
Rosanna and Benton are both Reiki master teachers and have over 15 years of experience with Reiki. Reiki is a huge part of their lives and is infused within everything they do. Their hot healing hands are a must to be experienced.

AROHA HEALING V-STEAM
Vaginal Steams (Bajos, in Spanish) have a long history of use by traditional healers in various parts of the world, especially in Central America. Their popularity has been steadily growing in the West, and for good reason – vaginal steams are very beneficial for a wide variety of conditions, from painful menstrual cramps to infertility to nourishment of the area. They can help the uterus empty itself more completely, dislodging old tissue and blood that may have been there for months or even years.
‘Rosanna from Aroha is a miracle worker. I've had a number of Arvigo and Steam treatments from her leading up to fertility treatment which resulted in a pregnancy. I have no doubt that the work I did with Rosanna prepared my womb for the implantation of the embryo. I also found the treatment incredibly relaxing and it relieved stress in a way that I had not experienced before.

AROHA HOLISTIC THERAPY
Aroha holistic therapy sessions have been designed to allow people to release stress related tension from the body and mind. Conversation and healing massages are well documented and known to be effective for both stress release and build-up of acute and chronic pain. A good massage will assist to break emotional patterns. Suppressing our feelings can embed emotion in muscular tension.
Many years of experience has taught us as body workers, that the tension stores the emotion. Carrying these feelings around with us can lead us to react stereo-typically in situations where other responses might produce better outcomes. Skilled human touch and listening reassures and nourishes us, creates trust, allowing us to feel ‘lighter’ and less burdened with life.
The sensitivity, trust and communication good massage requires, reminds us that working together can achieve great results. It is the fastest way to deeply surrender the control that keeps us stressed and armoured. And it feels great!
Rosanna has been in the beauty and holistic industry for 27 years. Alongside her partner Benton, they have been operating Aroha Love Ponsonby for the last 13 years. Both are Reiki master teachers, retreat facilitators and creators of wellness programs, and offer a wide range of services and products to support all people into well-being, clarity and more meaningful ways of living.
