Rita Gurung is a skilled massage therapist with over a decade of experience in wellness and spa therapy. Originally from Nepal, Rita began her career at Sense of Touch Day Spa in 2013, building a strong foundation in both Eastern and Western bodywork traditions. She holds a CIBTEC Diploma in Beauty and multiple ISBC Diplomas in Holistic Massage, Anatomy, and Physiology. Her training also includes advanced modalities such as M6 Lipo Massage and professional facial therapies.
Rita’s expertise extends to specialised stone therapies using two types of natural stones:
-
Pink Himalayan Salt Stones – rich in 84 naturally occurring minerals, these stones help detoxify the body, ease muscle tension, and restore energetic balance.
-
Basalt Hot Stones (Black Stones) – ideal for deep muscle relaxation, especially during colder months. These stones are also beneficial for clients dealing with chronic tension or arthritis.
For clients seeking prenatal support, Rita is certified in pregnancy massage by Aromatherapy Associates Hong Kong, allowing her to provide safe, soothing, and expertly tailored treatments for expecting mothers.
Throughout her career, Rita has worked in some of Asia’s most respected wellness destinations, including the Mandarin Oriental and W Hotel in Hong Kong, as well as The Mira Hotel and Spa by Harnn at Marriott Ocean Park. Her freelance practice has further honed her ability to customise treatments for a wide range of needs—from athletes recovering from intense training to individuals seeking stress relief and deep relaxation.
Known for her nurturing presence and precise technique, Rita creates a deeply restorative experience for every client. Whether alleviating chronic pain, calming the nervous system, or promoting overall wellbeing, her holistic approach supports both body and mind.
