Welcome to The Healing Touch
Abe Pollak completed his Diploma of Remedial Massage in 1981 while working in his field of Mechanical Engineering. His empathy and care for people (and search for the root causes of dis-eases), and the work satisfaction he derives from this, led him to make “healing” his life-time study and full-time career.
His specialties include: Remedial & Relaxing Massage, Bowen Therapy, Shiatsu, Reflexology, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Hormonal and Fertility Balancing, Pre and Post Natal Massage, Lymphatic Drainage and Ear Candling.
Located in the Eastern Suburbs region of Sydney, the Healing Touch Wellbeing Centre is centrally situated, close to Sydney City, Bondi and Double Bay.
His qualifications are recognised by most Health Funds within Australia, and as such registered for health fund rebates including accreditation by WorkCover Australia and VSACT as a health provider

My Aim And Philosophy
As a Remedial Therapist with many years of experience and learning, I have evolved my current understanding, that applying a healing touch with a caring, focused and joyous attitude is an essential part and catalyst for activating the healing process within you. I get joy from connecting with people and seeing the changes achieved in their physical conditions, emotional standing and every-day lives.
My primary aim is to address your presenting physical and/or emotional problems, by detecting and addressing the underlying cause/s, using the various techniques in which I am trained (including Remedial Massage, Bowen Technique, Emotional Freedom Technique, Shiatsu and Reflexology).
To be where I am now has been a long journey of self-development; from a 30 year career in mechanical engineering, where my life was a black-and-white judgemental state of right-and-wrongs, and the pleasures of life that were rather grey, but with a deep feeling that there is a lot more to life.
So I undertook numerous courses (to gratify my engineering, predominantly right-brain mind) and was fortunate to meet and have long, insightful discussions with a wonderful variety of “teachers”. This process, thankfully, is still in full swing – a work in progress. Subsequently, over 15 years ago, with the support of my wonderful wife and family, I commenced my new career in the “remedial” and healing field. This has been - and is - an extremely enjoyable and fulfilling self-growth journey for me, nourishing my body, mind, heart and soul.
Now, after years of working in this field with such a variety and number of people and deriving ever-increasing joy, peace and connectedness, my experience and intuition aid me in my chosen career.
It would be my pleasure to discuss and work with you in addressing your presenting symptoms, needs and desires and to achieve greater health, fulfilment and joy in your life.

Reflexology
A combination of acupressure and massage, Reflexology is an ancient technique that identifies zones in the feet, hands and ears that are connected to body parts and organs. Reflexology postulates that these zones are a microcosm or map of the whole body. Stimulating these zones can have a healing effect on the whole body, as they connect energy pathways that travel through the body to particular organs, structures and glands.
