Geordie McLeod (Reg. Osteopath)


Geordie started out in the health and fitness industry over 15 years ago as a sports/remedial massage therapist. Originally a structural engineer, Geordie took up massage therapy after gaining benefit from a combination of massage and Osteopathic treatment for cricketing injuries. Eventually, Geordie decided that a career in Osteopathy was far more rewarding than engineering.

Along the way Geordie has also studied fitness and personal training with the knowledge that clients need to help themselves as much as we can help them. Geordie has played a myriad of competitive sports including cricket, squash and basketball over the years and with that has had his fair share of injuries that allows him a  great degree of empathy towards athletes, weekend warriors and office workers alike.


Geordie on Mt.Luxmore in NZGeordie works with the philosophy of if there's movement there's room for improvement. Osteopathy is for the whole family, the athlete, everyone! 

Geordie emphasizes the client’s well being and body awareness by embracing the philosophy of the inter-relationship of the body’s structure and function and utilizing this with both treatment and exercise programming.

Peta Griggs


Peta completed her Diploma of Remedial Therapies in 2001. She has since worked in a variety of settings providing remedial massage, reflexology, relaxation massage and corporate massage. She is qualified to train parents in infant massage and is experienced in massaging mothers throughout their pregnancies. Peta has also worked in rehab situations and special care settings.

Peta specializes in relaxation massage that utilizes deep tissue techniques while blending a personalized style of Swedish, shi-atsu and reflexology into a blissful massage tailored specifically to the individuals needs. She uses pure essential oils within the massage to enhance balance and repair of body mind and spirit.

Peta believes that massage is an integral part of maintaining a healthy and happy lifestyle. In this day and age we are constantly on the go and ready for action. Our adrenal systems are running on overload and many of us sit for unnaturally long periods of time at the computer, causing pain, stiffness and headaches. Relaxation massage can become a dose of “concentrated relaxation” to prevent burnout as well as addressing pain and assisting in the prevention of  overuse injuries.

 Jessica Isgro



Jessica gained inspiration to begin a career within the health industry from her own experiences with personal development, physical therapies and meditation. Her passion for health and well being is a vital part of her lifestyle and has become the number one priority in her life. Jessica believes that “In order to harness creative energy a ‘strong and healthy ground’ should be present for the creation to take place.” During her studies in Remedial massage Jessica found that this approach applies when treating clients. ‘If the body’s foundation is out of balance then remedy cannot take place until the causal imbalance is addressed.’

Jessica has an extensive background in the arts. Starting out with an interest for painting, Jessica has demonstrated great talent as a real life painter. Her creativity has extended into music where she has completed an Advanced Diploma in Jazz and Popular music at NMIT. 

In retrospect, the prominent theme for Jessica is her hands. She has a great sense of touch and works with the intention to free and release the body of stagnation and muscular tension. She works deep within the musculature but also applies pressure intuitively, creating a deeper level of healing according to her clients needs.
