This message resonates deeply with me and the work I do.

Whether through massage, social work, or professional supervision, I am often trusted with the parts of people's lives that feel heavy. Stress, grief, life changes, challenges, hopes, and fears. I never take that trust for granted. And of course it is 💯 confidential ❤️

My approach is grounded in holistic wellbeing. Through the lens of Te Whare Tapa Whā, I believe wellbeing comes from nurturing all aspects of ourselves – tinana (physical), hinengaro (mental and emotional), wairua (spiritual), and whānau (our relationships and connections).
One of the greatest privileges of my work is seeing people leave feeling lighter than when they arrived. You should never feel guilty for sharing your journey. Being trusted with your story is not a burden—it's an honour.

I genuinely care about the wellbeing of the whole person, which is why I will never be "just" a massage therapist, social worker, or supervisor. Supporting people to feel heard, valued, and well is at the heart of everything I do.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted me to walk alongside them. It is a privilege I never take lightly. 💙✨🌿

"When a mother struggles with her mental health, it doesn't just impact her, it impacts generations."

As social workers, supervisors, and wellbeing practitioners, we often have the privilege of walking alongside wāhine during some of the most challenging seasons of their lives. We witness the weight they carry, the sacrifices they make, and the strength they draw on every day for their whānau.

When we support a mother to heal, regulate, rest, reflect, and reconnect with herself, we are doing far more than supporting one individual. We are contributing to healthier relationships, stronger whānau, and more connected communities.

Sometimes the impact of our work isn't immediately visible. We may not always see the full change reflected in our own tamariki, but often those seeds of healing continue to grow and are seen in our mokopuna and future generations. This is the power of breaking cycles and addressing generational trauma. The work done today can create ripples that extend far beyond our lifetime.

Whether through social work, professional supervision, therapeutic touch, massage, or encouraging meaningful self-care, we are helping create spaces where healing can begin. Healing is not selfish. Rest is not lazy. Self-care is not a luxury. They are essential parts of wellbeing and can be acts of intergenerational change.

Every conversation, every moment of support, every opportunity for reflection matters.

The ripple effect is real, and it reaches further than we may ever know. 💜

“I’m Leeann, founder of Tuffnell Mind & Body. With a Bachelor of Social Practice, holistic and deep tissue massage qualifications, and tikanga training, I bring both professional skills and lived experience to every session.

Having navigated trauma, career shifts, health challenges, parenting, and life transitions including divorce, I understand what it takes to rebuild, heal, and sustain wellbeing. This experience informs my approach, integrating trauma awareness into the care I provide.

Outside of work, I’m a motorbike lover, diver, paddleboarder, and fisher, deeply connected to Tangaroa and the healing power of nature. These passions keep me grounded, inspired, and energised for my clients. I also have 2 beautiful dogs and 2 handsome sons, and a love for whanau ❤️

My vision is simple: to rebuild, sustain, and empower—helping wahine regain confidence, supporting practitioners to sustain their careers, and guiding clients to listen to their bodies, heal, and thrive.

Every session, every connection, every step is about holistic wellbeing, reflection, and growth—mind, body, and spirit.”

✨ Meet the face behind Tuffnell Mind & Body ✨

I’m passionate about empowering wahine to regain confidence, helping practitioners sustain their careers, and supporting massage clients to not just get relief—but learn to listen to their bodies. Because listening to your body shouldn’t only happen in a massage session.

I’ve navigated a lot to build this business, and my intention is simple: to rebuild, sustain, and empower through a variety of wellbeing modalities. I love connecting with people, whether it’s through healing work with Riding for the Disabled, sustaining social work through contract roles, or guiding wahine toward holistic wellbeing in supervision sessions.

Every session, every connection, every step—it’s about growth, reflection, and thriving together. 💛

🌿 Supervision Support Beyond the Session 🌿

One of the resources I provide to supervision clients is a Tuffnell Mind and Body Self-Reflection Journal.

A supervision journal can be a valuable tool, not only for self-reflection, but also for capturing those thoughts, experiences, challenges, and questions that arise between sessions. Rather than trying to remember everything, clients can jot down reflections as they happen and bring them along to help shape the agenda for our next supervision session.

Each supervision pack includes: ✨ A Tuffnell Mind and Body Self-Reflection Journal ✨ A copy of your supervision contract ✨ Useful stationery items for note-taking and reflection ✨ An affirmation card for encouragement and inspiration ✨ A sample of the Tui Balms I use in massage sessions ✨ A Kit Kat and a few sweet treats as a gentle reminder to take a break and look after yourself

My aim is to create a supervision experience that feels supportive, practical, and nurturing from the very beginning.

As helping professionals, we're often focused on supporting others. These little touches are a reminder that your own wellbeing matters too.

Professional supervision is about more than meeting requirements. It's a space to reflect, grow, celebrate successes, navigate challenges, and continue showing up as the best version of yourself.

Because growth, reflection, and wellbeing don't only happen during the hour we spend together. 💚
