About Hanako Liggins

Hanako’s journey in massage therapy started with a deep-seated passion for holistic healing and wellness. Hanako completed specialized training at Bali’s renowned Arriva Spa and also trained under Kimiko Higuma, her mentor, and a senior therapist with over 20 years of experience and was herself trained at the New Zealand College of Massage. Her style reflects a deep understanding of both Eastern and Western wellness practices, including acupressure, deep tissue massage, and the restorative qualities of aromatherapy.

For Hanako, massage is more than a service—it’s a connection to heritage and well-being. Her Japanese upbringing, where younger generations often provide therapeutic care for elders, has influenced her empathetic approach. This cultural connection ensures that each massage at Hana Balinese Massage is delivered with compassion, respect, and genuine care. This, coupled with a dedication to natural healing techniques, makes Hanako’s practice a unique offering in Whitianga.
