We're Here To support your natural well being and passionate wellness career. " Caring for you helps you to truly care for others" .We believe that it does not need to be hard or difficult to learn and gain confidence in new skills if one truly is passionate about the topic. We encourage continuous learning for personal growth, evolution, discovery, open mindedness and new development. After all life is an experience !
We are living in very special times on earth where science and spiritual wisdom are beginning to complement one another more and more with the latest discoveries and thus helping to support the balancing of our humanities left and right brain hemispheres known as the Heart - Mind Coherence. At Vibrant Living we welcome the return of previous trainees on a 'work stay' experience to advance the training experience and grow confidence quickly. Trainees will also have access to individual mentoring and training in other holistic day spa modalities and yoga sessions offered at Vibrant Living over longer stays. |
Our JUNE 2024 update. Life in Transition.
In December 2023 myself Mary Jo and husband Steve sold our Vibrant Living Retreat business in Hanmer Springs. This was our dream vision that we launched in 2015 to run a Wellness Retreat and Day Spa together. We did this for 9 years and sold it December 2023 to Adela and Jan.
In December we also departed Hanmer Springs which is where we lived for 15 years. In 2010 I started my 1st Day Spa called Mountain View Massage in Hanmer Springs which became the No.1 rated Day Spa on Trip Advisor.
Over the years I trained my own therapists at M.V.M. and eventually this lead me to launching Vibrant Wellness Academy in 2017. I launched this Academy to offer my massage trainings and V.W.A. certification to more people interested in learning professional massage with a holistic intuitive approach. I love witnessing my students getting rave reviews from their happy clients and getting inspired to start their own massage and wellness businesses. I have run 15 or 16 of these Level 1 in-person massage training retreat hosted at Vibrant Living Retreat between 2017 and 2023.
In 2024 Steve and I have been taking some chill time house sitting and pet sitting around the South Island. It is proving to be a beautiful time to rest, reset, connect more with nature as we learn and grow to work on launching our in-person massage trainings as a online course. We are excited to make this trainings and others that support human wellness and empowerment and make them available to more people globally. These will launch over the next few months as a 5 day immersive home massage training retreat and over 5 weekends. Then eventually as a self paced learning option.
WHAT THIS NEW LIFE STYLE OPENS UP FOR US IN 2024 and 2025.
As in 2024 we don't have a Vibrant Living Retreat to run, we are more mobile and open to options and opportunities to travel to different location around N.Z and elsewhere over seas.
We require a minimum of 5 or 6 people to run this Level 1 massage trainings and a maximum of 14.
If you currently own or manage a day spa and want to support your staff with enhanced self care and awareness to sustain a good massaging body and encourage a massage attitude with a more holistic intuitive approach and values, I offer shorter professional development training options over a weekend or weekday to suit your business and intentions. Please EMAIL Mary Jo directly to enquire about these options.
I am open to collaboration. It is a dream of mine to run a Yoga TTC and Massage Training together over a immersive 4 to 5 weeks.
