Healing/Holistic session.
I recently returned to New Zealand for some much needed recuperation. I knew Cedric from my time living here and didn’t hesitate to book an appointment for treatments with him.
Cedric has a wealth of knowledge and skills in so many healing modalities and, through his careful listening and caring empathy, he selects in consultation, the treatment or treatments that will suit the individual.
Cedric creates a welcoming and safe environment that promotes healing on a deep level. He takes time to explain the treatments he is using and checks throughout, on your well being and comfort.
My treatment involved talking, sound, energy work and First Light Flower Essence to take away. I felt nurtured, supported and confident in healing taking place -
promoted by Cedric’s explanations but predominately, by the depth of his skills and knowledge and, his dedication to healing practice and doing the best he can for his client.
Cedric makes suggestions for ongoing treatments but does not pressure to rebook. Coming away, I felt an immediate sense of well-being and the healing effects of the treatments. I thoroughly recommend Cedric as a healer and his practice as a nurturing environment.

Synchronicity lead me to book in with Cedric for my first healing session with him. It surpassed my expectations, I came home with such enthusiasm it lead my partner to book in with him the following day. Following this Cedric offered a follow up consultation where he generously shared more insights and at home practices for us to explore, together and individually. I have so much gratitude for the jewels of light, from so many directions Cedric has to share. For me it’s like a magical experience and I feel I am rekindling a relationship with something beautiful. I highly recommend Cedric to anyone open to the world of wonder, seeking healing, enlightenment and wanting to feel safe the company of a caring kind soul, who gently reminds you at each visit the healing power of laughter 😊 ~ Thank you Cedric

I would like to thank Cedric for the 3 treatments I received recently. Stress and anxiety appeared to be my problem as everything I thought about caused a knot in my stomach.
I received my first deep tissue massage working on the body and felt 50% better in myself. I knew that I needed to have at least one more treatment as I had emotional issues that needed clearing.
Two weeks after my first treatment I booked a second treatment for a healing session dealing with my emotions. I was amazed at how I felt after the massage and the fact that when I thought my usual thoughts they no longer affected me. I still thought them but had no negative body response at all. I felt relaxed and had a feel good feeling which I hadn't felt in a long time.
I then waited another 2 weeks and booked in for a chakra balancing session. This session was a more subtle session compared to the previous 2 sessions.
I now feel ready to cope with lifes up and downs and whatever it may bring and I attribute that to the sessions with Cedric as I know for a fact I wouldn't have been able to clear my body and mind without these treatments. I would suggest that anyone who is having difficulty with life on any level seek an appointment with Cedric and have an open mind to the treatments on offer.

Cedric was recommended to me as I was having sleeping problems and migraine headaches. With knowledge and experience in natural remedies I tried many herbs, vitamins, homeopathic remedies even acupuncture and Bowen therapy sadly nothing seemed to ease my symptoms. Finding Cedric has truly brought joy back into my life. He works from the heart his main focus is to heal and restore the body, bringing back harmony and equilibrium to mind, body, and spirit. I am deeply grateful for all he has given me. With thanks Lorraine.

I recently received a healing massage from Cedric and it truly left me speechless. If I want to choose 1 word to describe the treatment I received from him, I would say: Transformational.
His approach is very holistic, and he uses all his wide range of knowledge and experience in all areas of massage, healing, and therapy to offer a very full and magical experience to the client. Before he gets started on the session, he really takes time to listen to what the needs and expectations of the client are: be it physical, emotional, or spiritual. And he also allows his intuition to guide him on the journey of the treatment with the individual. Like most other holistic healing approaches, the more open and honest you allow yourself to be with your healer, the more benefit you can receive from the treatment. Cedric’s great listening skills and his compassionate heart, create the perfect safe and sacred space for this to happen.
After my session with Cedric, aside from feeling a great physical relaxation and released muscle tension, I was also really able to let go of a huge amount of emotional and mental blockages within me. I came out of that room feeling tremendous lightness of the heart and clarity of the mind, which I have carried with me ever since.

Massage, Adults.
"Feel like I am floating on a cloud. Had the most wonderful massage this morning and owe it to myself and those around me to take time for me. Cedric has healing hands and provides a safe environment for you to relax and get the benefit of the treatment he is providing. Totally recommend you book an appointment and treat yourself."
Liz, Masterton, March 2018
"Had a massage from Cedric yesterday and wow! Great service and a great person, listens well, open to helping and finding what’s best for you, gives great support and offers really good advice. A very gentle and genuine caring soul. One of the best therapists I have come across. Highly qualified and very humble. Highly recommend! Thanks again and I will definitely be having another session when I am back in Masterton!"

“Prior to doing any hands on work Cedric took the time to check in with me about my current state of mind and general health, which I appreciated. Once the hands on work started Cedric used a combination of different modalities including massage both deep tissue and relaxation techniques, romiromi, aromatherapy and crystal healing throughout the session allowing me to relax and move through some great relaxation and release of tension both in body and mind. After the session I felt super relaxed, grounded and aware of work I also needed to continue on my own in the coming days. My shoulder and hip tightness has lessened a great deal since them, and my vision is sharper. A thousand thanks Cedric, looking forward to my next session with you”.
Jodie, Greytown, June 2015
I can truly say that my massage recently with Cedric was the best I've ever had in New Zealand ! I told him afterwards he should teach this sort of massage !!
I usually only have Romiromi massage however Cedric was available and I intuitively thought he would be able to sort my neck issue and indeed he did !!
I would highly recommend this very professional therapist to help with any health issue .

Wikitoria, Okere Falls, November 2014
The day I was given Mr Sunier’s contact details was the day my life changed forever.
I was suffering with two underlying issues when I first went to see Cedric. I have RSI in both arms, not great when you are a typist/administrator and I suffered also with frequent urination – day and night, which was exhausting. I had been told by a specialist basically that as I was in my menopausal years this was something that I would have for the rest of my life and had prescribed me with a drug with some very undesirable side effects – lucky me!
Well, I am happy to announce after Cedric’s magic touch and knowledge I no longer have an urination issue, the drug has been binned AND I am still typing. Cedric began to massage my stomach/lower abdomen and within a short period of time, feeling different, I ceased taking the medication to see what would happen – to say the least I was over joyed, no more broken sleep and embarrassing loo stops. As for my arms with regular appointments I remain able to type and garden as a result of my treatment.
I have great admiration for Cedric, find him extremely professional and passionate about what he does and I am truly grateful for all that he has done and continues to do for me.
Robyn, Masterton, September 2014
Cedric has been treating me every two weeks for a good long while. He has such a huge range of skills and therapies; I have yet to visit him for my bi-weekly 'fix' when he has not been able to sort what ails me. Over that time he has treated simple muscle pain, headaches, low mood and low energy to name but four. I would not hesitate to recommend Cedric.

Pregnancy Massage
After a recommendation I booked a massage with Cedric, I am 35 weeks pregnant and have been feeling the effects that late pregnancy can offer - sore back, tiredness etc. We started off with sound healing using tuning forks which allowed me to go into a deep state of relaxation, a real highlight was that my baby was responding to the sound frequency that means 'miracle'... it was a lovely moment.
Cedric's massage was carried out using essential oils (all safe for pregnancy), he was very aware of the little life that is growing inside of me while carrying out the massage which made it all the more relaxing and beneficial. I felt truly relaxed at the end of our session and more connected with my baby. I would highly recommend to any pregnant lady looking to ease discomforts or just as a way to deeply relax.
Meagan, Masterton, March 2018
I have had two children and through both pregnancies have had hip problems and swelling in my lower legs. I went to see Cedric through both pregnancies where he did some stretches and massage for the hip pain and swelling, as well as wonderful general relaxation massage, which is wonderful to have throughout pregnancy, especially during the latter stages. I would thoroughly recommend anyone going through pregnancy to book sessions with Cedric.

Massage, Children.
My two children were excited to be offered a massage with Cedric over the holidays. They had been to a masseur before so had some expectations. What they hadn't experienced before was learning about reflexology, choosing their own oils and massage style. My oldest daughter, whilst initially sceptical once she had heard her siblings praise was insistent that she too would have a massage. Now that all of my children have enjoyed at least two massages with Cedric I can confidently state that they would all repeat their experiences in a heart beat.
From a parental point of view, I believe that their enjoyment was immediate and their sleep, particularly from my asthmatic son was improved tremendously. Thank you from us all.

Headache: Bach Flower Remedies, Face Reflexology, Massage.
Suffering from chronic headaches (most days for over a year) and wanting an alternative treatment to the ineffective chemicals prescribed from my GP, I went to see Cedric.
Through foot reflexology, he discovered the headaches were linked to anxiety and stress. A Bach Flower remedy worked well for me and my headaches have gone after using it for a month. Combined with massage and fascial reflexology my well-being has greatly improved and my anxiety and stress levels have returned to a normal level.

Mastitis: Bach Flower Remedies, Foot Reflexology, MIL-Therapy.
I would just like to thank Cedric for the 3 sessions I received. Found it to be a great experience and after the 2 session’s I noticed a big change within my body.
In the past after giving birth to my 3 children I have suffered from cracked nipples and mastitis. So after the birth of my fourth child I was referred to Cedric from my midwife to try his practise to see how it will help this time around as I have cracks in 7 of my boob’s. So far it is heeling really well and there are no signs of mastitis.
I feel really great, well and have a lot of energy especially a session from Cedric.
Thanks again. Good luck with your practice.

Hysterectomy: Scar Treatment.
Approximately 7 years ago I had a hysterectomy. In the months following the operation I experienced depression, loss of libido and a reduction in energy. When I went to Cedric, having been told he was excellent and also doing some research about him and his qualifications on the web, I was really simply looking for a general wellbeing treatment. From the outset I found Cedric very easy to talk to and felt perfectly comfortable with him - I would have to admit there was a part of me that had been hesitant about going to a male natural health professional. During a discussion about my hysterectomy, Cedric explained to me about the impact a scar can have on the body's wellbeing. I had been doing some detailed reading on meridians (energy paths that flow through the body) in which I was very interested, but had never considered that a scar from an operation and resulting scar could affect the flow of energy through the body. When Cedric told me about the impact of a hysterectomy scar on particular meridians, eg depression and loss of libido, I could immediately relate that to my experience. I had assumed that the operation had brought on menopause and that my symptoms were related to that. But I now had an alternative and one that provided me with light at the end of the tunnel. After only two treatments I was experiencing a very positive impact on my symptoms, and am continuing to improve with ongoing treatments. Also, I hadn't realised that there was a degree of numbness around my scar and this has all but disappeared. I would advise any woman who has a scar such as mine to consult Cedric and give themselves a chance to experience a much improved state of health. At all times Cedric treated me with the greatest respect, explained the available treatments extremely well and also listened to anything I had to say. Thank you so much Cedric for your help.

Holistic treatments for wellbeing.
Recently I attended an hour long appointment with Mr Sunier at his clinic.
In the past I've always taken good health for granted. It's proved a big shock, particularly over the past few years, to find myself facing not only age related matters (who is this stranger?), but a roller-coaster of continuous, and some yet to be resolved, health problems. There's no doubt ill-health has also brought with it stress, the return of occasional slight depression, and a deep-seated anxiety. (Unsurprising given my family medical history and my own caregiver role as a young girl.)
This is exactly what a busy doctor, and good friends, want to hear – not! It's boring, boring. Most of the time you drag yourself around disguising the bad days – surely there is nothing that a shop till you drop outing, plus a great cafe, can't fix. Well yes, sometimes you long for a calmer state of mind and spirit to cope with ordinary daily challenges; such as neighbours now phoning on an almost daily basis to See How You Are, friends who automatically give you their car front seat. or who take your arm..I swear the first one who calls me “sprightly despite..” will pay. All this to a woman who, with a film crew, climbed into Mt Tarawera crater in high heels.
I've always had an open mind about holistic therapy. I do see it as complementary to the medical profession's work, not instead of, ie mind and spirit v. the physical. There will always be cranks. A firefighter friend decided he had a healing gift, and could fix all my ills over the phone – bollocks!
Mr Sunier is exactly the opposite – kind, caring, a good listener, and above all knowledgeable and non-threatening. I removed no clothing, apart from shoes and socks, while he used his reflexology techniques, after expertly massaging my face, talked about essential oils and the power of drinking good water. I came away floating – calmness personified – and for a change slept like a log. He also mentioned the benefit of meditation, which I'll pursue at my next appointment...my choice.
Holistic therapy is definitely not for everyone – a good friend's eyes glazed over immediately I mentioned it. However I firmly believe that realistically for me, with only a relatively few more good years ahead, complementary wellness has to be, of necessity, a top priority .. and, pro-actively, I'll do what it takes.
Thank you for the opportunity to endorse Mr. Sunier's work.

Child, with Chickenpox, recovery with essential oils and MIL-Therapy.
3 years old boy who was sick (chicken pox and tummy bag) for 2 weeks with 2 days at the hospital; the treatment consisted in 4 sessions of MIL-Therapy and Manuka (Leptospermum scoparium) Essential oil for a week.
“H. was lacking of energy, not sleeping and not eating. He also has a runny nose most of the time. I wanted to see if natural therapy was a better option for Hriday. After the treatment Hriday is full of energy, eating and sleeping well. What has changed since Hriday has started is that he looks healthier, and his nose is not running all the time like before.”

Meditation for Teenagers.
Year 11, Wairarapa College
I approached Cedric to introduce my Senior Health class to meditation in the hope that it will open their eyes up to new activities that will enhance their well-being. I was extremely impressed with what was learnt and by the manner it was taught.
Cedric was utterly professional, arriving early and staying later to answer any questions. He had a laid back approach with the students that made him able to teach his methods effectively and without any dramas. He opened a lot of inner meaning and peace for the students and my personal self.
I will not hesitate again to contact Cedric next year to come back and teach. His non-confrontation style and relaxed attitude are a huge asset to his practices.
Student Reviews (Key Snippets)
“Have never felt so relaxed and at ease”

“I found some inner peace and have used this to help control my anger spells”

Meditation: One to One Teaching.
Time with Cedric is well spent – in a cosy relaxing environment, he starts one off on the practice of meditation, then ensures it is individual to your own values and culture. I have found his sessions enable me to get to sleep more readily, I would highly recommend him to anybody considering the meditation journey.

Elderly in Resthome: Nurturing touch.
We have found the nurturing touch massages given to our 93 year-old Mother by Cedric Sunier to be excellent. Mother’s health has been very up and down over the last few months and these massages have been the one constant “positive” for her since Cedric started his nurturing touch work in October. Mother describes them as “absolutely wonderful” and has requested that she has two sessions a week now as a result. Thank you Cedric.
