Your Therapist, Janine Ogg
Welcome to The Ceramic Garden Massage Studio, nestled within the rustic garden & pottery of Sam Ludden Ceramics! Sam and I are thrilled to support your healing in the calming, creative energy of this space.
From guiding wilderness adventures with rangatahi to offering beach massage for cray fishermen, to designing food forests - I’ve always felt a deep connection to working in nature, the inspiration for a practice that offers both indoor and outdoor massage in the heart of Masterton. Whichever option you choose, we’ll work together to enhance your health & wellbeing in a space that nurtures both body & soul.
Janine holds a Certificate in Therapeutic Massage from the Wellington School of Massage Therapy.
🌿 Relax and Let Go - Stress doesn’t just weigh on your mind and body; it impacts your relationships and overall well-being. Step into our garden and studio where you can breathe deeper, relax fully, and reset your nervous system in a beautiful setting.
🌿 Move Freely Again - Say goodbye to tension and discomfort in your shoulders, back, and neck caused from work, stress or over-exercise.
🌿 Experience Nature’s Healing Touch - Try an outdoor massage! Science tells us that time in nature reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, and enhances overall well-being. When combined with the therapeutic benefits of massage - relieving tension, improving circulation, and restoring balance - results can be transformative.

Frequently Asked Questions
🌿 Are there any special promotions available?
Yes! We're offering one-time only prices throughout April to celebrate launching the massage studio. Be sure to book your session before April 30th to take advantage of this offer.
🌿 Outdoor massage sounds great but what if it’s wet or cold?
Great question! Our outdoor space is covered and equipped with an outdoor heater, so we can usually go ahead even in the rain. To keep you cozy, we also offer a table warmer and blankets, ensuring your massage remains a warm and relaxing experience. If the weather is too cold - especially in winter - we may decide to move your massage indoors to our studio space, adjacent to the garden.
🌿 Do I have to have my massage outside? Not at all! If you’d prefer an indoor massage, you’re welcome to book your session in our cozy indoor studio. During the booking process, you’ll have the option to choose between an indoor or outdoor massage—whichever suits you best.
🌿 Where is The Ceramic Garden? Our therapeutic massage studio is nestled in the heart of Masterton, Wairarapa—just minutes from the town centre. Only 1.5 hours from Wellington, it's also the perfect excuse for a peaceful weekend escape from the city.

🌿 What do I need to bring? Nothing! Just wear comfortable clothing and make sure you have a water bottle for afterwards (it’s important to drink plenty of water after a massage)
🌿 Do you accept same-day bookings? Yes, but we’re often booked out in advance.
🌿 What is your cancellation policy? We understand that life can be unpredictable. To ensure we can accommodate all our clients and maintain the quality of our sessions, we kindly ask that you adhere to the following cancellation policy:
Canceling 24 hours or more before your session: No charge.
Canceling less than 24 hours but more than 12 hours before your session: 50% of the session fee will be charged.
No-show or canceling within 12 hours of your session: Full session fee will be charged.
Late Arrivals: Arriving late may lead to a shortened session to ensure subsequent clients aren’t affected. Typically you’ll be charged for the full session price, regardless of the reduced treatment time.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us provide the best experience for all our clients.
