Margie Moana Townsend completed her Level 5 Diploma in Wellness and Relaxation Massage at Otago Polytechnic in 2024, achieving an impressive GPA of 90.9. 

During her time at the student clinic, she successfully helped clients reduce stress, alleviate pain, and improve mobility. Margie also focused on supporting women through their hormonal cycles to enhance their overall well-being.

In addition to her studies, Margie volunteered at the Dunedin Marathon and with the Otago Nuggets, Dunedin’s semi-professional basketball team. By providing pre- and post-event massage, she contributed to athletes’ performance, recovery, and injury prevention.

This year, Margie is continuing her education at the Southern Institute of Technology (SIT), working towards a Level 6 Diploma in Remedial Massage, while working here part-time.
