About Harmonise Bodyworks Massage Therapy 

Hi! I'm Nastassja, owner and principal practitioner at Harmonise Bodyworks. I believe wholeheartedly in the transformative power of bodywork and am honoured to offer a practice that helps people to release pain, optimise their wellbeing and find harmony within their bodies.

Having experience with a multitude of health conditions and a vast range of body types for almost a decade, you can trust that you are in capable and caring hands at Harmonise Bodyworks.

Harmonise Bodyworks treatments are a unique blend of Remedial, Swedish, and Lomi Lomi massage, infused with mindfulness principles. 

Philosophy

Health is more than the absence of pain or disease—it encompasses a state of complete well-being that allows us to thrive and reach our greatest potential. With this in mind, Harmonise Bodyworks treatments are a holistic approach to massage therapy. Treatments address musculoskeletal issues at their root cause, considering optimal posture and identifying any underlying physical dysfunction in the body. They also consider that, sometimes, our bodies hold tension in response to physical and/or emotional experiences as a way of armouring or protecting us. With this in mind, treatments always combine lots of flowing and nurturing strokes alongside deep tissue techniques. By allowing your body to find the sense of calm and safety it needs to surrender, we invite, rather than force muscles to release tension.

Every body is wonderfully unique and every body deserves massage therapy! Whether you are wanting to resolve musculoskeletal pain, reduce stress, or enhance your vitality – I'd be honoured to walk with you on your path to wellness. 

Remedial massage is focused on resolving specific problems that may be presenting in your body and holding you back from achieving your health and fitness goals. Treatments are holistic and aim to address both the presenting problem and its root cause.

Massage Techniques

Specific ailments are treated with techniques including:

• Trigger Point Therapy
• Myofascial Release
• Myofascial cupping
• Active and Positional Release
• Manual Lymphatic Drainage
• Join Mobilisation and facilitated stretching
• Pregnancy massage

These techniques are utilised within a nurturing and flowing massage treatment intended to promote rejuvenation and connection to your body and breath.     

There is a common misconception that remedial massage needs to be painful to be effective. While in some cases, trigger point therapy or deep tissue massage is the most efficient way to release tension – sometimes a gentle approach, working in harmony with your nervous system can be more effective in generating results that last. Nastassja’s remedial massage treatments are nurturing and attuned to your individual preferences and pain tolerance – working with your unique body to provide the best outcomes.
