Testimonials


" Tanya has an amazing ability to be able to tune into your body when it comes to healing with her various forms of massage techniques. Her clinic is a peaceful haven where one can totally relax and unwind. Her understanding of Chinese Traditional Medicine allows her to treat many conditions and I highly recommend that anyone visit Tanya's clinic to sample her wonderfully healing methods. "
Anne, Reflexologist

Dear Tanya
" Finding you when I really needed help with my back and then my knee was definitely the universe pointing me to the right person at the right time. I was so grateful you saw me at such short notice. Thank you so much. The fact that in only two treatments I am now back to a pain free state is a testament to the high level of your clinical skills. The acupuncture and massage stabilised my lumbar and pelvic regions. My knee has not felt this good in ages.
You have a depth of therapeutic knowledge that is wonderful. You also have a calming and caring personal aura. The treatment sessions with you were some of the best I have ever experienced. I have a great respect for traditional therapeutic modalities and practitioners such as yourself combine them effortlessly. Working in health care I see many people that find relief from acupuncture and massage rather than taking analgesics. I just wish I had found you sooner but I am sure that anyone booking treatments with you in your new clinic will be glad they did."

Krissi, Registered Nurse

"I was treated by Tanya for frozen shoulder problems over a number of months. Tanya used acupuncture and massage mostly but also cupping.
I describe Tanya as a true professional with a really caring personality. She was patient and thorough and I experienced marked improvement in my condition over her period of treatment.
Besides her treatments, I enjoyed her conversation during the treatments as we discussed and solved the problems of the world big and small. We will miss her presence in Sydney but are confident that she will be recognized as someone special wherever she sets up a practice."

Peter Nixon, Financial Adviser

"Tanya is an excellent massage therapist that understands not only the body but also cares about the person's soul. She blends her skills with her intuition and provides a consistently high quality service that leaves you feeling relaxed and at ease. 
I can highly recommend her as a massage therapist and I especially enjoy her Hawaiian massage."
N.H, Councellor, Journey Practitioner

"Over the last year or so I've had numerous massage and acupuncture appointments with Tanya, during which I was seeking treatment for work- and stress-related issues, such as muscle aches, neck & back pain, and insomnia. Tanya's friendliness, professionalism and skill at what she's doing are outstanding and made me go back on a regular basis. Tanya managed to make me feel refreshed and re-energized after each treatment, and helped me fix above mentioned issues over time, for which I'm really grateful."
Michael T., 34yo, Project Manager

"Tanya treated me with acupuncture for problems associated with chronic kidney disease and post-transplant side effects.
Tanya was very concerned with the details of my conditions and ensured that any treatment would not further agrivate any pain. Her treatment was not painful, she was knowlegeable and was prepared to research anything she may not have been familiar with. I found her company made the treatment more enjoyable and she provided a warm, nurturing environment.
I believe that benefits of acupuncture are best achieved through long-term treatment, allowing the body to heal and minimise the amount of medications that may have to take.
I was suffering from fluid retention, mentrual cycle disruptions and stomach problems associated with the medications I am required to take, post-transplant. I believe that Tanya's treatment alleviated some of the pain, aided in the quick return of my regualr menstrual cycle and eased the bloating I was experiencing.
I would highly recommend anyone who is suffering any ill-health or stress to try acupuncture. It is a safer alternative to medications that can have long and disasterous repurcussions."

S.M., Project Manager & Journalist

"I have benefited from Tanya's gentle and attentive acupressure skills as well as her extraordinary talents as a massage therapist. I have had massages in 10 different countries and Tanya's is up there with the best I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy. She has a perfect blend of originality, technical ability and presence of mind which combine to give a very satisfying treatment every time. She always catered to my specific health needs that presented on the day of the session and so tailoring the treatment for optimum results. 
I highly recommend her both as an employee and as a service provider. I will miss her treatments in Sydney dearly.”

Kim Maiorano, Grow Massage 

“I have had the wonderful opportunity of experiencing Hawaiian Bodywork and healings with Tanya Wester.
Her calm manner is an asset to her profession. She strives for perfection and knowledge which instills confidence. Her success both as a business woman and friend makes her very popular.
Tanya is an authentic loving healer, and I would highly recommend anybody to experience her amazing treatments.”

Una Segal, Massage Therapist/ bodyworker/ Aestheticienne

Acupuncture


Acupuncture is a science that has been around for thousands of years, and in this time has been refined into a modern and recognized healing tool. Acupuncture is not only good for muscular pain and headaches, but can be the answer to many conditions, diseases and even the little complaints which seem insignificant.
Acupunture works on the Nervous system, immune system and the meridian systems (lines of energy running through your body) to re-balance and restore vitality and health within your body.

~ For anyone who is apprehensive about acupuncture, that is perfectly OK. I can honestly say that I was too. After my first experience of acupuncture I was so impressed by the results and how pain free the treatment was that I now actually go for acupuncture to relax. Acupuncture generally doesnt hurt at all, the needles are so fine and they penetrate the skin so quickly that they by-pass the pain receptors in the skin that would usually send the message of pain to the brain to initiate a response.

Common sensations during acupuncture:

There are different sensations that are common during acupuncture which have been described as a numbness, a heavy feeling around the area or a light tingling sensation.

Acupuncture also releases natural pain killers in your body as well as endorphines which makes you feel amazing and increases your overall sense of wellbeing.

Acupuncture can be deeply relaxing, and as a result increases your energy levels so you have more energy to live a full life.

Hawaiian Bodywork


This is my favourite form of massage both to give, and receive . It is beautiful, relaxing, tension relieving, and also firm enough to release the deeper muscles. Hawaiian bodywork seems to send people on an inner journey of relaxation that may involve the release of old patterns, may bring up past memories or powerful visual experiences. It is very flowing and rhythmic and can feel like waves washing over you.

Oil is used to create an easy flowing surface on which the practitioner performs a movement of ancient Hawaiian origin that rocks and moves your body into a space of relaxation. Hawaiian bodywork will help you connect with your self on a deep level.

Hawaiian Bodywork is good for:

  • Relaxation
  • Releasing tension in upper back and neck
  • Lower back pain
  • Tight/ painful muscles
  • Poor circulation
  • lymphatic drainage
  • Weight loss
  • Connecting with your heart and emotions
  • Giving your self a treat.

Hawaiian Bodywork -
1 hr = $120
1.5hrs = $150
2 hrs = $200


Acupressure Massage


Acupressure massage utilizes the same principles as acupuncture. Pressure is used with fingers , thumbs and elbows in a variety of different techniques to activate the meridians and flows of energy in your body. This type of massage can be used as an alternative to acupuncture and can treat the same wide range of symptoms.

See above section on Acupuncture and Herbs for a detailed list of conditions that can be treated.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture & Massage


WOULD YOU LIKE RADIANT YOUNGER LOOKING SKIN ?

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture (FRA) has also been named cosmetic acupuncture or acupuncture face-lifts as it focuses on revitalizing the skin and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

FRA is much more then just a cosmetic treatment as it can treat the underlying conditions and issues which contribute to the aging process.

It can also help those who are going through a hard time emotionally, coming to terms with the natural aging process. As in our society so much emphasis is put onto how we look it is no wonder that we seek ways to improve and change our selves to help us cope. FRA can help to both make changes on the outside but to help balance from within so we can remember our inner beautiful no matter what we look like. 

As we all know cosmetic surgery and botox can have harmful and very possible side effects or risks. Acupuncture however is completely natural and beneficial treatment for the whole body, mind and emotions that has been used for centuries. 


The Benefits

  • Increases blood, Qi, and lymph circulation in the face which can improve complexion and eliminate toxins.
  • Increase in oxygen to the skin which helps the cells to rejenerate.
  • Fine lines may be eliminated and the deeper wrinkles reduced
  • Helps to reduce and even eliminate bags and puffiness of eyes & face
  • Can help to lift droopy eyelids
  • Firm and lift the jowls
  • Double chins minimized
  • Balances the skins natural moisture levels
  • Increases collagen production and dispersion
  • Increases muscle tone
  • Increases the dermal (skin) contraction leading to a firmer and more elastic skin
  • Can help to tighten pores
  • Brightens the eyes
  • May help to lessen scars and age spots
  • Improves hormonal balance which can help to reduce acne
  • Reduction of stress visable on the face
  • Increases your natural radiance and beauty which comes from a healthy mind body and soul.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT from a Treatment

Many people find this treatment very relaxing and often report an overall sense of wellbeing. To gain optimum effects a recommended course of treatment consists of 12 session which will be one or two sessions weekly. After this initial course it is recommended to have maintanence treatments monthly and then can be spaced out as needed.


Each session lasts for approximately one and a half hours in which you will receive body and facial acupuncture, a deeply relaxing and effection facial rejuvenation massage with top quality aromatherapy oils and a crystal roller massage to finish the session. I also incorporate tuning forks on the body and fasce to deepen the therapeutic outcome and relaxation.

The needles are very thin, sterile and safe. They will be placed gently into points on the ears, feet, arms and face. Tiny needles are inserted just below the skin along a wrinkle to encourage the skin to regenerate that area.

Effects can bee seen after the first few treatments and lasting holding effects after the 7th treatment as a general rule.

Are there any SIDE EFFECTS ?

There are no serious side effects from this treatment. However there may be the occasional very small bruise on an area where a needle was inserted. This will be treated with essential oils and creams to help speed the healing. A flushed appearance for the first few hours may occur and slight redness around some areas where the needles were, however this should go within an hour.

COST OF TREATMENT

One session of facial rejuvenation Acupuncture costs $ 150


I will be happy to chat with you and answer any questions and to work out the best treatment plan for you.
