SERVICES
I offer a range of modalities:

*Remedial and Relaxation Massage
*Bowen Therapy (Bowtech)
*Manual Lymphatic Drainage
*Reiki
*Ear Candeling

and aim to personalise treatments to best meet the needs of my clients.

Body therapy is suitable for anyone...from elite athletes, office workers, busy mums, labourers to the aged.

Body therapy should be viewed as a necessity, not a luxury, to not only alleviate aches and pains but to act as part of a health program to prevent possible injury and illness.

BOWEN TECHNIQUE (BOWTECH):

A very subtle - and highly effective - neuromuscular technique that can be used to treat a wide range of conditions - great for those with pain or injury and gentle enough for the very young to the elderly.

Specific points (over muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia and joints) are triggered to elicit a healing response in the body - Muscle tension can be adjusted significantly and re-aligning and rebalancing of the body resulting.

Bowen technique addresses not only the musculoskeletal framework, but also the fascia, nerves and internal organs. Changes can take place on all levels as needed: physical, emotional, mental, chemical and energetic.

Bowen can be considered for:

  • Back pain and sciatica
  • Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Knee, ankle and foot problems
  • Neck/shoulder problems incl. frozen shoulder
  • Groin pain, pelvic tilt and uneven leg length
  • RSI, carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow
  • Sports and accident injuries

    Cost: $60 1 hr


    REMEDIAL MASSAGE:

    A remedial massage manipulates the soft tissues to address injuries and dysfunctions. Techniques such as deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release techniques, passive and PNF stretches and chinese cupping are used. Massage stretches muscles, inhibits muscle spasm, increases flexibility and helps break down scar tissue. Therefore, it can help you recover from injury, either from an accident, sport or surgery.

    A neck and shoulder massage can also alleviate repetitive strain injuries resulting from poor posture or sitting for long periods of time. If you play sport, regular massage can help prevent injury.

    Cost: $60 1 hr

    RELAXATION MASSAGE:

    The perfect antidote if your physical or emotional health is challenged. Combining Therapuetic Massage with Aromatherapy (healing use of natural plant extracts) and Reiki (which distills a sense of peacefulness) to nuture the body and soul.

    Reducing stress improves energy levels, promotes a positive outlook, and has even been shown to reduce the liklihood of injury and illness.

    Cost: $60 1 hr

    MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE:

    Manual Lymphatic Drainage therapy uses non-invasive, featherlight techniques designed to stimulate the functions of the lymphatic system.

    Scientifically based manual lymphatic drainage therapy enhances the functions of the lymphatic system, the immune system and the nervous system and, by its subtle, regenerative actions, cleanses, detoxifies and revitalises the tissues.

    This is a great modality to employ if you want to achieve:
    * relaxation
    * detoxification
    * energising effects
    * immune system health benefits.

    Cost: $80 1.5 hours

    EAR CANDLING:

    Ear Candling is a simple and time proven therapy that is painless, harmless and a totally relaxing experience!

    Ear Candling involves the use of a custom made, hollow candle that is coated with beeswax. The candle looks like a large crayon. While the client lies comfortably on a massage table, the hollow candle is placed gently in the outer opening of the ear. The client's head is fully covered.

    Through a process called 'convection'...softer waxes and toxins are drawn out of the ear, oxidised and turned into vapours during the procedure. This process is very effective in removing old and troublesome blockages from the ear canal (without the use of solutions or probes).

    Massage of the face and neck areas around each ear canal aids the release of inner ear debris with immediate and long lasting benefits.

    While Ear Candling is not a cure for any disease, illness or ailment some conditions that may benefit from Ear Candling include:
    Sinusitis
    Earaches
    Infections
    Tinnitus
    Hearing Difficulties
    Headaches
    Migraines
    Excessive Wax
    Plugged Ears (from hearing aides, listening devices etc)
    Before or after air travel.

    Many people are rediscovering the value of Ear Candling to cleanse the ear canal and sinus passages and is considered as necessary a part of personal hygiene as tooth brushing.

    Ear Candles used are 30cm long Australian made Cone Ear Candels. These candles are made from organic unbleached cotton and pure beeswax and have a burning time of about 20 minutes each.

    A 1 hour Ear Candling session includes a Sinus Massage which helps loosen up the sinuses before the treatment.

    Cost: $60 1 hour
