SERVICES
Peta has almost seven years of experience within the massage therapy field. After completing her Diploma of Remedial Therapies with the Australian College of Massage and Natural Therapies in 2002, Peta has worked in various clinic environments.
On completion of her studies Peta opened a private clinic in her hometown of Warrnambool Vic, throughout this period she had ongoing contracts with Football, Basketball and Soccer clubs and gained a wealth of knowledge and experience with sports related soft tissue injuries..


After almost three years in her private clinic Peta relocated to Far North Queensland, to take on the position as "Sole Therapist" on the exclusive Bedarra Island Resort. This position gave Peta the opportunity to gain an insight into to expansive spa industry and provide many a treatment to the international celebrities who holidayed there. Her island post lasted for 16 months. (How could you leave a beautiful tropical island?).

Peta trekked from the small island of Bedarra to the “Big Smoke” of Melbourne, where she currently runs her mobile massage business “Body Remedies”, 50% of Peta's current client base are clients who she treated on the island. On her return to VIC, Peta has joined the Australian College of Massage lecturing team, teaching the Diploma of Remedial Massage to classes both interstate and locally in Melbourne.

Peta: “What I love most about massage is the reconnection of the Body, Mind and Soul. Throughout a massage the body systems go through a self healing process. Body work has many clear physical results, but the one hour on the table also gives the recipient an opportunity stop worrying about the stresses of every day life and to clear any unwanted thoughts. This is where the reconnection occurs and we are cleansed into a rejuvenated internal and external being.” .

Treatments may include any/all of the following techniques listed;

Acupressure

Is part of Chinese Traditional Medicine and is often described as ‘acupuncture without needles’. Deep finger pressure is applied at certain points and can reduce tension, increase circulation and offer pain relief for many complaints, and removes energy blockages to promote good health.

These points follow the energy channels of the body’s meridian lines. Acupressure encompasses the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit.

Aromatherapy

Is the art of applying essential oils combined with relaxation massage to improve physical and emotional well-being. The essential oils have been extracted from various parts of certain plants. They are easily absorbed through the skin with a gentle caring massage, and works on a physical, mental and emotional level.

The selected essential oils and base massage oil are combined to create a unique mix for each persons needs. The oils can also be used in oil burners for inhalation or in the bath to provide therapeutic outcomes.

Foot Reflexology

Is an entire system of massage devoted to the feet. The feet map out the entire body through a reflex mechanism so that by stimulating a certain area of the foot a corresponding organ or body part is simultaneously stimulated.

The hands and ears are other areas of the body which have similar reflex maps inherent in their structure, but the feet correspond to the chronic state of the organs, etc., rather than to acute or sub-acute levels. Periodic deep massage of the feet in a systematic manner can provide beneficial results in clearing up deep-seated metabolic irregularities and malfunctions.

It is a thorough and deep massage which is primarily therapeutic in intent, although, because of the reflex action involved, one’s entire body feels as if it had just received a full massage after a Reflexology treatment.

Myofascial Release Therapy

Is a very gentle yet very effective hands-on manual therapy using sustained pressure into restrictions in the fascial system to eliminate pain and restore motion and function to the body. The therapy is based on the principle that poor posture, physical injury, illness and emotional stress can shift the body out of alignment and cause the intricate web of fascia to become tight and constricted.

Fascia is a system of thin connective tissue that weaves continuously throughout the body including the muscles, bones, organs arteries veins etc. It connects every part of the body to every other part of the body. Adhesions and scar tissue may also be broken down with myofascial release therapy.

Remedial Massage / Deep Tissue Massage

Focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body, through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, by either following or crossing over the muscle fibres, fascia and tendons. Usually used to address specific problems associated with chronic muscular pain, injury rehabilitations, sporting and occupational injuries, RSI, and physical and mental fatigue.

The techniques can include Trigger Point Therapy, deep tissue massage and stretching thereby creating an improved range of motion through the joints. It’s important to drink plenty of water after a deep-tissue session to help eliminate toxins from the body.

Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage Was originally developed in the late 18th Century by a Swedish fencing master as the first systematic system of therapeutic massage in the West. The strokes and manipulations of Swedish massage are each conceived as having a specific therapeutic benefit. One of the primary goals of Swedish Massage is to speed venous return from the extremities.

Swedish Massage shortens recovery time form muscular strain by flushing the tissue of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It improves circulation and stretches the ligaments and tendons, keeping them supple and young.

Swedish Massage also stimulates the skin and nervous system while at the same time relating the nerves themselves. Swedish Massage reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested in a regular program for stress management. It also has specific clinical uses in a medical or remedial therapy.
