SERVICES
Welcome to GITTALIFE
I was born in Germany and live permanently in Australia since December 2003. I am Swiss-German, trained in Switzerland and Germany. Since 2004 I work as a SOFT TISSUE THERAPIST in Perth. My original overseas-qualifications are not recognised in Australia and therefore I cannot register or practise in my original profession.
I am a member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society (ATMS) and am registered for Remedial Massage with various health funds.
My philosophy is simple: ~ GET THE CLIENT BETTER! ~
There are many roads which lead to a better health – and combining whatever technique and advice is necessary to benefit my clients well-being is my main focus.
Over the years my newly developped knowledge of NATURAL REMEDIES and a more HOLISTIC APPROACH have given my clients a better health benefit than the techniques and methods I studied and used in the past.
REMEDIAL MASSAGE
REMEDIAL MASSAGE supports the treatment of muscular aches and pains, injuries and postural imbalances. It promotes healing when muscles and tendons become damaged or impaired, knotted and tense or immobile.
This type of massage varies in intensity and is a holistic approach. Muscle tissue compensates by increasing its contraction intensity and does not work functionally once it is shortened.
REMEDIAL MASSAGE TECHNIQUES are used to locate tense muscle tissue. Massage of these tense areas helps to speed up the body's own repair mechanisms to create homeostasis.
PREGNANCY MASSAGE
During a normal pregnancy without complications, massage can achieve the same benefits as it does for people who are not pregnant.
The therapist’s knowledge of the anatomy of mother and baby, as well as possible complications, assures that the pregnant woman can achieve the best possible result.
It has been frequently reported by pregnant women that being able to lie on their stomach has been very enjoyable for them.
BENEFITS of PREGNANCY MASSAGE
- Relief from muscle cramps, spasms and myofascial pain, especially in the lower back, neck, hips and legs
- Increase in blood and lymph circulation, which can reduce swelling
- Reduction of stress on weight-bearing joints
- Enhancement of pliability of skin and underlying tissues
