You can improve your health with Massage, Shiatsu and Reiki

Remedial Massage
Remedial massage improves muscle and joint pain which can develop while you are at home, work or exercising. During your treatment deep massage strokes, muscle and nerve stretching and muscle release points are used to improve your blood circulation and muscular tone.

By reducing pain your quality of life is enhanced.
We may go through home exercises together which help to strengthen or relax your muscles.

Relaxation Massage
Relaxation massage involves long, broad, slow massage strokes and rocking.

This encourages your body to rest and restore.
Like remedial massage, it enhances your blood and lymph circulation, nourishes your body cells, relaxes your muscles and diminishes pain. Generally your entire body is treated although if you prefer, I focus on specific areas such as your head, feet, hands, and shoulders.

Pre and Post Natal Massage
Receiving treatments throughout your pregnancy has a range of benefits for you and your baby. Pre and post natal massage decrease your muscle tension, increase your joint movement, induce relaxation and promote blood flow.

During your treatment emphasis is often placed on your lower back, hips, glutes, shoulders and feet. Your treatment includes massage, gentle stretching and rocking.

Physical and mental tension is reduced enabling you to relax and move more freely.

You are fully supported throughout prenatal massage with pillows and towels.

Depending on your needs a pregnancy treatment can be focused solely on massage or may include Shiatsu and Reiki.

Aromatherapy
Essential oils have great healing properties. When inhaled or placed on the skin they send messages to your brain creating mental, emotional and physical changes. For example:

lavender promotes relaxation
peppermint increases your energy levels
basil and wintergreen reduce your muscular aches and pains

I use essential oils that add to the therapeutic effect of both remedial and relaxation massage.
Depending on your needs Cupping, Gua sha, and Moxibustion can also be used during your treatment.

Shiatsu
Shiatsu translates to “finger pressure” in Japanese. It is holistic healing system based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles.

Energy moves throughout your body through energy pathways known as meridians which are connected to specific organs. Disruption to this flow of energy may produce pain and stiffness, digestive, emotional and mental imbalances.

During a Shiatsu treatment your energy is rebalanced allowing your pain and symptoms to lessen. You are fully clothed during your treatment while your meridians and muscles are treated with broad palm pressure, stretching, finger pressure, holding and gentle joint rotations.

Shiatsu has exactly the same, if not more benefits than massage.
During a treatment your circulation is stimulated, your nervous system relaxes and your hormonal system can rebalance. Shiatsu is able to treat range of conditions ranging from muscular pain to menstrual difficulties, digestive conditions to anxiety.

During your treatment we may discuss dietary and lifestyle options that help to lessen your symptoms.

Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese therapy that translates to ‘Universal Life Force Energy’. It was created by Mikao Usui in approximately 1920.

Reiki is a highly effective holistic healing system that promotes your optimum health and well being by increasing your energy levels and decreasing your pain and tension.

Reiki helps restore you to a state of balance by unlocking your body’s natural healing abilities.
During your treatment you are fully clothed whilst I move my hands to different positions on or over your body, directing Reiki energy.

Reiki is excellent for treating painful conditions that aren’t suitable to be treated with other manual therapies.
Reiki generally makes you feel more relaxed and better able to cope with life’s challenges. It’s a truly beautiful method for connecting deeply to yourself and allowing holistic healing to begin.

The best way to understand Reiki is to experience it yourself.

Read what others have said about Reiki courses:

"Sarah introduced me to Reiki while she was in the UK in 2003...I was amazed at the heat emanating from Sarah’s hands. Sarah told me she was about to teach Reiki Level 1 course and asked if I’d like to join the group – little did I know then that learning Reiki would change my life forever – I am now a Reiki Master Teacher and have my own practice! "
Judy, Belper, 2003

“…. when I treat myself with Reiki I become deeply relaxed and can heal complaints such as sore knees. I have also given Reiki to friends and family and have had particular success with people with sore necks... What I most enjoyed about Sarah's teaching style was her infectious passion for Reiki and her enthusiasm for ensuring her students understood and felt the power of Reiki. Since completing the weekend course I have also benefited from our follow up meetings to practice and discuss Reiki. Since learning Reiki I have experienced positive changes in my life and am planning to do Level Two.”
– Jenny, Box Hill, 2010

"A long time ago I did a Reiki course and had not really practiced Reiki afterwards because that course left me unsure about using the Reiki system.I am so glad I re-did the Level One Reiki course in 2010 with Sarah. Sarah gave us a very clear and easy to use handbook, which provided a great framework for the course...by the end of the weekend I felt like I had finally understood the Reiki system and how to use it. Sarah teaches with a lot of wisdom and heart - she is a wonderful teacher and guide."
- Nicole, Mentone, 2010

"I recently participated in a Reiki Level One course led by Sarah .Sarah's obvious enthusiasm and passion for Reiki made the course a pleasure to do. Sarah structured the course so that the Reiki theory informed our practical lessons. She showed great knowledge of Reiki and how it can be used to heal and nurture. I left the course with a very good understanding of the basics of Reiki and a better understanding of energy in general".
Gary, Elwood, 2010

What others have said about their treatments:

“Sarah is wonderful. I get sore shoulders and neck from my work. Her massages make me feel so much better. I like the way her hands know where my pain is…she’s very caring…a good healer.
-Katy, Brunswick

“After my Shiatsu sessions with Sarah I felt extremely energized, yet deeply relaxed. I found her recommendations to improve my menstrual symptoms very effective... I look forward to receiving her caring, nurturing and healing touch”
-- Susan, Clifton Hill

“…After an hour of Reiki she was more flexible, in less pain and was actually happy for the first time in four days…We have continued with the Reiki sessions…I can’t remember the last time she complained of any pain or needed any Paracetamol!”
- Piarose, Derby, U.K.

About Sarah
I have been interested in complimentary therapies since 1997. During this time I have worked in both mainstream and complimentary health care settings. I obtained Reiki (Master Level) in India in 2002 and practised in the U.K. I returned to Australia with a desire to formally learn more about how the body functions and in 2006 undertook a Dual Diploma of Remedial Massage and Shiatsu and Oriental Therapies at East West College.

I am fully qualified in Remedial Massage, Shiatsu and Reiki. I’m a member of Australian Association of Massage Therapists and Australian Reiki Connection. I operate in Camberwell and Northcote.

Depending on your needs I offer individual Massage, Shiatsu and Reiki treatments or combination treatments. I love seeing the positive effects that treatments have on people.
