Amini Fonua | Massage Therapist | Auckland
Kia Ora,
I’m Amini Fonua | Massage Therapist - My Foundation: Elite Performance & Physical Discipline
My path to bodywork began at the highest level of physical demand. As a three-time Olympian in swimming for the Kingdom of Tonga, I have spent the better part of my life exploring the limits of human performance. This journey gave me more than just medals; it gifted me a profound, kinesthetic understanding of anatomy, recovery, and the vital importance of maintaining a body that moves with ease and efficiency. I bring that same Olympic-level discipline and focus to every massage treatment I provide.
My Approach: The Balance of Structure and Intuition
I believe that effective healing requires both a sharp mind and a sensitive touch. Currently, I am balancing my massage practice with my studies as a second-year Law student at the University of Auckland. This academic pursuit keeps my analytical mind sharp, allowing me to approach physical tension with the same precision I apply to a legal text.
However, I know that the body isn't just a mechanical machine. My interest in esoteric studies and tarot allows me to bring an intuitive, energetic layer to my work. By blending this "structure and intuition," I aim to help you release not just physical knots, but the deeper energetic blocks that hold you back.
Beyond the Table
Movement remains my greatest teacher. Whether I’m teaching swim clinics or offering private lessons, I am constantly focused on technique, confidence, and longevity in the water. I carry this philosophy into the clinic: I’m not just here to treat a symptom, but to help you develop a deeper awareness of your own body’s potential.
Partnering in Your Recovery
Whether you are an athlete looking for performance recovery or someone seeking a moment of grounded reflection, I am here to support your journey. I look forward to working with you at Meridian Health to restore your body’s natural rhythm and strength.
