PAIN RELIEF
RURAL, ECO LOCATION
If you're struggling with persistent pain, stiffness, or limited mobility, or maybe you're dealing with back pain, sports injuries, or chronic discomfort, rest assured our Tauranga based physiotherapy clinic is here to help.
At Sunshine Healing we specialise in pain relief at source, helping you move freely and feel your best — all with a holistic twist.
Situated a quiet drive away from the hustle and bustle of Tauranga City, our eco-friendly, off grid therapy room is nestled in the rolling hills of Minden, a hidden getaway perfect for rebalancing and restarting any healing process.
WHAT WE DO
Physiotherapy
Holistic physiotherapy takes a whole-body approach to treatment, focusing on the root cause of pain and dysfunction rather than just the symptoms.
By combining hands-on techniques, movement therapy, and personalised care, it promotes natural healing, restores mobility, and enhances overall physical well-being.
WHAT WE DO
Zero Balancing
Zero Balancing is a hands-on therapy that aligns the body's structure and energy, relieving tension and restoring balance.
Using gentle touch and focused pressure, it enhances posture, reduces pain, and promotes deep relaxation and overall well-being.
WHAT WE DO
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a targeted therapy that uses fine needles to release muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve movement.
By stimulating trigger points and promoting natural healing, it helps restore function and relieve musculoskeletal discomfort effectively.

What They Say
Genuine testimonials from people who've experienced Sunshine Healing
"Clare at Sunshine Healing is my absolute go to for exercise related injuries, general body and mind well-being, and sometimes for a just little self-care. She listens carefully to what I say and questions to ensure the treatment is targeted to my needs. Sessions are never rushed and a strength of Clare's is that she is totally focussed on and knows exactly what my body requires. I absolutely love the new space — you can't help but feel relaxed before you even start."
Michelle B

"I thoroughly enjoy my sessions with Clare. The atmosphere of her clinic is incredibly serene and peaceful. I highly recommend visiting Clare for zero balancing. It's hard to describe how it works but I always leave feeling tranquil, nurtured, and balanced."
Sheryl M
Mount Maunganui
"I am delighted to receive one to one pilates instruction from Clare. At 78 with arthritis, I don't feel confident to join a group class. Clare works through my weak points and is always observant and sensitive to my problems. Every session focuses on different exercises so it is never boring and she is always encouraging."
