About Xanthe
What she does
Xanthe applies principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Taoist philosophy with massage and yoga to treat structural and nervous related health conditions.
Who she treats
Over 10 yrs of word of mouth referrals Xanthe has built a healthy base of local and international clients. Clients include reputable artists, performers and sportspeople. She enjoys helping individuals, couples and families and works intensively with every one she treats.
The treatment program
Because everyone is different, the structure of programs are individually assessed based on both immediate and long term needs. Xanthe believes in working only with those she feels she can genuinely help. On occasion she may refer people on to other alternative or conventional health practitioners.
About Us
A Brief history
Xanthe has overcome her own structural and nervous related health issues. She trained and performed extensively as a dancer for over 10 yrs. During that time she battled severe back pain and nervous related health issues. At age 22 she was diagnosed with an L4, L5 calcified disc herniation usually only seen in the spine of someone much older.
Given her age surgery was not an option and no other option was given. Xanthe’s level of pain increased and her mobility became more compromised. She began to experience nervous related disorders affecting her digestive system and skin. At times the pain was so great she was incapacitated for weeks. Mobility was provided only with the assistance of strong prescription medications for a period of several years.
She realised the treatment of chronic or acute back problems and nervous related disorders was an area enormously lacking in real solutions in both private and public healthcare.
Testimonials
"12 years ago I sustained a back injury where I herniated a disc... I wondered whether I was ever going to be pain free again! Then I met Xanthe and my situation turned around... within three weeks I could see a dramatic improvement."
Clare Perkins - Visual Artist
"Its a little bit freaky to be honest how much Xanthe can feel and know just from one session.. and then when there are a series of them, she seems to be aware of the evolution of the person."
