The story behind Muscles & Mind
Muscles & Mind began with a simple but powerful idea: that true healing happens when we stop chasing symptoms and start addressing the root cause physically, emotionally, and subconsciously.
With a background in neurological and respiratory physiotherapy, I’ve always approached the body through systems thinking: how it moves, compensates, and stores tension. Over time, my clinical focus narrowed to the zones where tension and emotional holding most often collide - face, neck, jaw, back, and lymphatic pathways. This led to the development of the Reset Series: targeted massage treatments designed to support nervous system regulation and chronic tension relief.
As my understanding of the nervous system deepened, so did my commitment to whole-person care. I’m currently training in Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT) - a neuroscience-informed method that works with the subconscious mind to shift deep-rooted patterns, beliefs, and emotional blocks. Muscles & Mind will soon offer RTT in Hamilton as part of an integrative approach to chronic tension and emotional holding.
This evolution continues the core values Muscles & Mind was built on - high quality care, clinical integrity, and transformation that addresses the real problems. Whether through massage, breathwork, or subconscious reprogramming, the goal remains the same: helping clients reconnect with their bodies, regulate their systems, and move forward with confidence and ease.

Physiotherapist (non-practising)
Trained in neurological and respiratory physiotherapy, Genevieve brings deep anatomical and systems-level insight into how the body moves, compensates, and stores tension. Her massage work draws on this foundation to support pain relief, postural balance, and nervous system regulation.
Massage Therapist
Genevieve specialises in targeted massage for the back, neck, jaw, and lymphatic system—four high-impact zones for chronic tension and emotional holding. Her Reset Series integrates neuromuscular release, buccal and facial massage, and lymphatic drainage to restore mobility and support vagal tone.
RTT® Therapist (in training)
Currently studying Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT), Genevieve will begin offering RTT in Hamilton in 2026. RTT is a neuroscience-informed method that works with the subconscious mind to shift deep-rooted patterns, beliefs, and emotional blocks - often at the root of chronic dysregulation. RTT will complement her massage practice by offering a dual pathway to healing: physical release and subconscious recalibration.
