Offering a range of therapies to optimise your overall health on your path to recovery
It all begins with a personalised treatment plan
My interest in gentle touch as a powerful tool for wellness has taken me to a variety of training over the years.
I have supported many women through their changing needs during pregnancy and post natally.
My passion also lies in helping with managing a cancer diagnosis, and post surgery healing and lymphoedema
Following initial training in Remedial Massage, I completed a Diploma of Integrated Craniosacral therapy, and added Oncology Massage and Lymphoedema Management to my skill set.
I see NDIS and Aged Care Home Package clients
I incorporate the most appropriate modalities based on what my clients present with.
Reduce stress, relax and ease pain and fatigue
My mission is to help you heal. I want you to leave your session feeling better, but my priority is your overall health.

Massage and Treatment for Lymphoedema Services
oncology massage
This technique safely addresses the needs of a cancer patient, by understanding the science and paying close attention to the physical, emotional and psychological needs of the client during diagnosis, treatment, recovery, survivorship, or palliative care. It is a safe, gentle and mindful massage, where the techniques are adapted to work with clients even whilst in the middle of chemotherapy or radiation. It can help alleviate the side effects of these toxic treatments, can enhance quality of life, strengthen the immune system, and reduce stress.
lymphoedema / lipoedema management
I am an accredited Casley Smith ALA registered therapist offering:
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Laser and scar therapy
Garment fitting
Education on skin care, exercise and ongoing management.
cranio sacral therapy
Cranio sacral therapy is an extremely gentle treatment which works on the connection between the sacrum, spine and skull. It involves cradling and holding the various bones in the cranium to allow subtle shifts and encourage the optimal flow of cranio sacral fluid between the brain, spine and sacrum. It can be an effective treatment for headaches, TMJ dysfunction, migraines, teeth grinding and depression.
pregnancy / post natal
Massage specifically to address any of the issues which present due to changes with increased weight, fluids and changes in posture.
I use special chiropractically designed pillows which allow you to safely lie face down whilst supporting your belly in all stages of pregnancy.
If you prefer to be massaged whilst side lying, this can be accommodated.
Post natal treatment addresses both physical and emotional recovery from the birth , as well as the baby , if requested.
manual lymphatic drainage (MLD)
MLD can be used pre surgery to prepare tissues for incision, and post surgery to promote healing and aid in reducing inflammation. I have worked with many clients especially with liposuction and joint replacements, to great effect. MLD eliminates waste, stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, and filters toxins whilst bolstering the lymphocyte production which fights disease.
low level laser therapy (LLLT)
LLLT uses a safe infrared light which is absorbed through the skin and implements a photochemical reaction at a cellular level.
It is converted into energy which influences the metabolic processes.
It can help with scar reduction and lymhoedema, as well as reduce swelling and pain from musculoskeletal problems.
myofascial release
Myofascial release involves a gentle stretch, with only a few grams of pressure, which allows the fascia (the connective tissue) to 'unwind' itself. The dysfunctional tissues are guided along the path of least resistance until free movement is achieved.
myofascial cupping
This technique is an innovative adaptation of traditional cupping methods. It uses cream to allow the gentle gliding of the cups which avoids marking the skin. It can help prevent scarring, and assists in reducing localized inflammation by increasing nutrient rich blood supply to the injured area. It is especially effective for plantar fasciitis, lipodema, scar reduction, and working over screws and plates, especially in the ankles..
