January 2022
As we roll into a new year, I thought it an opportune time to introduce who we are, our team members and what we do.
Body of Work is now in its sixth year at the Lower Hutt studio. I am Ali Sullivan, director, and owner of Body of Work, I had been working as a solo Massage Therapist for a number of years and was aware that many client’s issues were multi-faceted, my aim was to bring many types of therapies together that could address these issues from different angles, such as movement therapies or addressing inflammation through nutrition or stress reduction. The Body of Work team is proud to work in a truly client centred environment. We are more than just a variety of practitioners operating from one space, we are connected and collaborate to enable us to find the best approach for your specific needs.
At Body of Work now you will find Massage Therapy, with all qualified and registered therapists at Level 6 or above; Exercise Therapy; Acupuncture; Chiropractor; Naturopath and Specialised therapeutic Bodywork with Mark Gray. In addition we also have classes in Pilates and Yoga.
Last year as a team we came together to identify our core values. As a group we all have many values that are aligned but narrowed it down to three words that would define what Body of Work values most. These are Environment, Connectivity and Learning.
Environment:
This is an all-encompassing value, from a global environment to the environment we provide to you; assessing your environment and how it may be impacting on your wellness.
We consciously try to work in sustainable ways, we support local, ethical businesses and products.
But mostly we strive to bring you a safe, caring and non-judgmental environment, where you can be heard and valued.
Connectivity:
This value also has multi meanings, in that we as a team are connected to provide the best services to you, we are connected to our community. We also find connectivity between all facets of our lives; our mental wellbeing impacts our physical health and vice versa; our physical environments, people or food all impact on our overall wellness. Discovering these connections allows us to learn more about ourselves and empowers us to take control of our lives and our health. Being connected to our environment, people and our own bodies is the essence of wellbeing
Learning:
We truly believe learning is a lifelong journey, by valuing and being open to learning we grow ourselves and help each other to continue growing. We learn from our clients and we hope you also learn from us too.
Our Team:
I am constantly amazed and grateful to the people who have come into the Body of Work team, their knowledge, professionalism, passion and caring for others is a common trait for all of our team members. Please check out the bio’s for our brilliant Team
