An experienced and highly qualified professional practitioner, offering customised treatments in many modalities to meet YOUR exact requirements.
SERVICES
*Relaxation massage will assist in taking time out, to center yourself, and be at peace; time to rest, relax and if you need start afresh with a clearer head and relaxed body
* Deep Tissue work allows really tight muscles to let go and be at ease. Can be a bit painful but is totally rejuvenating!
* Traditional Thai Massage frees up the joints returning them to free mobility as they should be for optimum health.
* Sports Massage helps heal from sports injuries much faster than otherwise one might. It can hurt a bit but one feels instinctively that properly applied pressure and strokes (and occasionally bandaging) is the right thing to assist recovery.
* Chiavetti is the part of Indian Ayurvedic practice where Marma points are stimulated and worked on to loosen up congestions. Deep work, but extremely beneficial.
* Indian Head Massage is a transformative treatment: Pressure points of the head, the neck, the face and the top of the shoulders are worked. After such a treatment one almost can’t hold one’s head up, it wants to loll about because the neck is so totally relaxed!
* Cupping and Gua Sha, have been used in many parts of the ancient and modern world, most notably in China, and they are yet other really successful modalities for increasing deep circulation and allowing tight muscles to become relaxed.
* At the other end of the spectrum there are the very light modalities such as Reiki, and Energetic Work which affect us in rather subtle ways, but sometimes with surprisingly profound results.
* Ear Candling is an ancient American Indian way to clear one’s ears, and help slow down incessant thinking. After a light massage to the head, neck, face, jaws and temples a special type of waxed tube – the ear candle – is lit and the other end is gently inserted into the ear opening. While receiving this treatment one just mellows out, listening to the gentle crackling of he candle as it burns shifting earwax and obsessive thoughts far away. Very relaxing.
* Pregnancy Massage is so important for the expectant mums. Helps with hip and back pain, and with the ever growing belly. Gentle soothing massage with lots of oil to the belly may help avoid stretch marks. It is beneficial for the baby as well. A special body contour massage cushion is used, ensuring a completely comfortable position even up to the time of birth.
* Having one’s feet and hands massaged can be a great way to unwind and feel pampered. These also helps with centering oneself and allowing worries to melt away.
In order to pursue my passion to find ever newer and more effective ways to help people relax, I have traveled to different countries such as India, Thailand, Turkey, and Bali to learn those modalities where they originated.
I offer the above modalities, and more, assessing each client every time they come for an appointment, and tailor the treatment each time to whatever is needed on the given day, treating the presenting problem.
I am registered with many health funds and am a full Remedial Massage Therapist with AAMT.
For WorkCover patients, doctors’ referrals will insure rebates.
I practice from the Kallista Chinese Medicine on Thursdays all day and Saturday afternoons. The rest of the week I practice in Upwey.
