Description of services:
NEW!! Circle Massage:
Many women have spoken to me about their need for more self-care time and how fulfilling it is to share their parenting journey with other parents. Circle massage is a group package for women wanting to get more self-care and community in their life, with facilities for children to play and be cared for by fellow "Circle Massage" friends on-site.
Women book in groups of three or more for the day, and take turns receiving massage while their friends care for the children. The more women booking in, the more adults for you to hang out with and the lower the rates. Effectively, you support your friends to receive, enjoy their company and that of their children in a beautiful rural location close to Mullumbimby town, and receive a discounted rate for your massage.
It is designed especially, but not exclusively, for mothers of small children. Circle Massage combines any of the below services...
Swedish/ Relaxation Massage:
This massage emphasises gentle relaxation and pleasure, using flowing strokes and kneeding of the muscles to induce relaxation and softening of the body/mind. It increases your blood and lymph circulation, accelerating healing processes, and improves your organ function.
Relaxation massage treats:
- Backache
- Stress
- Insomnia
- Pain
- .. to name just a few…
Deep Tissue Therapy:
Is used to relax, lengthen and release chronic patterns of muscular tension, using slow strokes, direct pressure or friction on a focussed problem area. With deep tissue massage there is less emphasis on pleasure and more on altering muscle restriction and structure.
As with relaxation massage, this technique oxygenates your muscle-tissue, increases local circulation to muscles and joints and increases exchange of nutrients.
Deep Tissue Therapy treats:
- Lower back pain
- Sore neck and shoulders
- Sciatica
- Scoliosis
- Over stretched and destabilised joints
- Lack of nervous inervation
- Shortening of elastic fibres
- Sore or tight muscles
Remedial/ Sports Massage:
Is a remedy to problematic soft tissue, not just for the athlete, but any body under physical strain. It reduces adhesions between soft tissues, promotes healing of injured tissues, and improves flexibility and elasticity thru heat, pressure and stretching.
- Enhances athletic performance
- Enhances rehabilitation
- Reduces injury, preventative and curative
- Clears metabolic wastes like lactic acid and pyruvic acid
- Reduces muscle tension and spasms
Island Style Pregnancy Massage:
This modality combines swedish, remedial and deep tissue massage techniques. Practicing this, I address chronic and acute tensions caused and exacerbated by pregnancy. I also use lymphatic drainage for swelling and toxicity, and bush flower essences to balance the body/mind.
The massage is given side lying, with the client "hugging" a body length pillow and supported with pillows or bolsters so that she can completely relax. From this position we avoid increased sinus pressure, strain on the unterine ligaments and dangerous increases in intrauterine pressure that a face down massage would create. My training ensures that the massage is firm and addresses all those tight areas needing release, while ensuring the safety of mother and child.
Massage during pregnancy:
- Reduces odema (swelling) and blood pressure
- Gives relief from varicose veins
- Increases blood and lymph circulation.
- Reduces the strain and pain of extra weight bearing.
- Assists hormonal, respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary and physiological processes during pregnancy.
- Develops greater flexibilty and the kinesthetic awareness necessary to actively participate in the birth process.
- Fosters nurturing maternal touch.
Postpartum massage:
Facilitates postartum emotional, physiological, and family adjustments.
Supportes recovery from caesarean birth, including healing of the incision.
Promotes structural realignment of the spine and pelvis, and reorganization of movement.

Did you know? Studies have shown that the more a pregnant woman is nurturingly touched the more she will touch and caress her new baby? This increase in touch also leads to significantly more contented, alert and curious babies and children.
Lymphatic Drainage:
This is a gentle technique that manually stimulates the lymphatic system up to 20 times its normal rate, helping to clean the body of wastes and toxins. It can be the best option for those who feel unsafe with more active techniques.
Conditions successfully treated with lymphatic drainage are many, but include:
- General health maintenance
- Cleansing and detox
- Oedema
- Sluggishness
- Stress related problems
- Sedentary related problems
- Minor bruising / injury
- Pregnancy oedema
Specifically...
- Post-mastectomy oedema
- Pre / post surgery
- Allergies
- Tinnitus
- Meniere’s Disease
- Migrains / headaches
- Multiple sclerosis
- Sprains / Strains
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Tendonitis
- Neck pain/ whiplash
- Chronic pain
- Sports injuries
- Fibro myalgia
- Chronic fatigue
- Toxic poisoning
- Scleroderma
- Radiation
- Weight control
How can I help my lymph flow and the steady elimination of wastes and toxins?
Movement increases lymph flow by up to 10 times that of inactivity, so keep moving, walking, swimming or riding. Abdominal breathing also changes pressure between high and low torso, "pulling" lymph upwards and assisting greater lymph flow.
Australian Bush Flower Essences:
This healing modality works on an emotional level to harmonise negative feelings and subconscious beliefs so that we are aligned with our highest good. It is based on the understanding that we are physical, mental, emotional and spiritual beings, whose every aspect has a particular vibration. When these aspects are out of balance we can experience ill health, difficult relationships or a lack of clarity, and we lose connection with our basic spiritual source. Using the vibrations of specific Australian Bush flowers can help us come into harmony with ourselves again.
Bush flower essences are taken in drop form usually twice a day for 2 weeks or until symptoms subside. The essences are chosen specifically for you and your current life challenge or desire. A Bush Flower essence consultation may had in person or over the phone, and may be used successfully in combination with body work.
Bush Flowers may be used to increase feelings of:
- Self worth
- Love
- Spiritual connection
- Groundedness
- Abundance
- Clarity
- Peace and calm
They also can be used to address physical imbalances such as:
- Infertility
- Insomnia
- Burns
- Digestion
- Lack of energy

Reiki:
“spiritually guided life force energy”
Rei = “Gods’ wisdom” or “the Higher Power”
Ki = “life force energy”.
Reiki is the laying on of hands with the intention to heal, relax and reduce stress in the body on all levels; physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. It is based on the understanding that ‘life force energy’ (ki) runs through us and is what causes us to be alive. When our life force is low, we tend towards sickness and feelings of disharmony.
Reiki may be used alone or in conjunction with other healing modalities. The receiver often feels a pleasant warm sensation in and around the body, and a sense of inner wellbeing and peace.
Reiki treats:
- Stress
- Insomnia
- Low energy
- General and specific illnesses
- Feelings of disharmony
