Massage Therapy

http://www.poweroftouch.com.au/index.php?id=4540

As a Remedial Massage Therapist, I am able to offer many different therapies such as a relaxing Swedish or Aromatherapy massage, the wonderful Hot Stone Massage or a therapeutic remedial massage targeting those tense or tired muscles.

Pregnancy massage and Lymphatic massage are sought after specialties. With my background as a Midwife, I am in great demand as a massage therapist for women during and after their pregnancies.

I have also had great success treating women with lymphoedema, particularly following breast surgery. The women I treat also appreciate my medical background and mature approach. I am a registered therapist with the Lymphoedema Association of Queensland. www.lymphqld.org

Discover the amazing benefits of massage therapy and why many people now see it as not a luxury but an essential part of health and well being.

Pregnancy Massage

My pregnant clients feel confident and reassured by my background, experience and training as a midwife and massage therapist. A detailed medical and pregnancy history will be taken before I begin the massage.

Many of the stresses that the body endures during the prenatal and postnatal periods can be alleviated through the hands of a professional massage therapist, particularly one like experienced in working with pregnant women.

Come and experience why many women, after having one pregnancy massage with me, return many times, continuing the massages right up until their baby is due, and then return afterwards.

Benefits include:

Reduction of nervous tension, back pain, sciatic pain, and leg cramps.

May help to reduce stress, anxiety, fatigue, and insomnia.

Improved blood flow, reduced swelling in feet and hands.

Nurturing touch promotes relaxation, physical and emotional wellbeing and makes you feel pampered.

You will always be positioned comfortably and appropriately for your stage of pregnancy. After the first trimester, you will be positioned on your side, supported by a range of pillows. One of my clients described it as feeling like 'lying in clouds'. The whole body can be massaged in this position, with extra focus on any problem areas.
My extensive experience and training in pregnancy massage ensures your ultimate comfort and safety.

Infant Massage Classes

Discover the joys and benefits of this rare and beautiful gift. Caring touch through massage not only communicates love, but can also help create a serene and nurturing climate you will both enjoy. It is wonderful for babies and children of any age, and a wonderful way to meet other parents.
Your baby's physical and emotional development can be enhanced by the enormous range of benefits. Just as important is that massage is fun for you and your baby, providing a wonderful closeness and teaches your baby about loving, nurturing and appropriate touch.

INFANT MASSAGE CLASSES ARE AVAILABLE AS SMALL GROUP CLASSES OVER 4 WEEKS (max. 4 PARENTS), OR PRIVATE SESSIONS OVER 2 WEEKS, WHICH CAN BE ARRANGED AT ANY TIME.

Please see my website for full details regarding the many benefits of infant massage, course curriculum, class dates and fees, or contact me for any enquiries.

Private Prenatal / Antenatal Classes

As a Midwife and Childbirth Educator, with over 20 years experience, I conduct private classes in small groups or individual sessions tailored to meet the needs and lifestyle of busy people or those who simply prefer a more private and personalised approach.

Many aspects of birthing and parenting will be covered during the course, in a multitude of ways. This makes them enjoyable and also promotes open discussion and active learning and allows ample time for questions.

Can't fit in to the hospital classes?

Just moved from interstate or overseas?

Both busy professionals and time is precious?

Prefer smaller, more relaxed groups or a private class just for you?

Having your second or third baby and want to update and refresh?

Live in Brisbane and would like a weekend on the Coast as well as attending your Prenatal Classes?

* Then these prenatal classes are ideal for you.

I love offering people an alternative to what other classes offer. No class is going to give you all the information you need, but in small groups or individual classes, people open up, talk freely, have fun and enjoy learning. Indeed, small groups create a friendly atmosphere where you will feel comfortable and supported. It is so satisfying to me to see friendships form and see the fear and anxiety that often surrounds childbirth, be replaced by confidence and eager anticipation.

I also conduct Separate Breastfeeding classes for women to attend prior to the birth of their baby.

Attending this special Breastfeeding class during your pregnancy, will help you gain increased knowledge and confidence, as you prepare for the birth of your baby. Best attended later in the pregnancy, but can be attended at any time.
