Hello there,
My interest in massage and healing began as an 11 year old learning along side my mother as she studied remedial massage. I browsed through her books and taught myself the bones and muscles of the body and have been fascinated with our mind-body connection ever since.
At age 19 I studied Therapeutic Massage at Island Health College and have now been practicing massage for 18 years.
My deepest learning and knowledge in musculoskeletal therapies has been attained through searching and seeking to find my own healing after a childhood spinal injury. I have been to many therapists and tried many modalities of body healing in Tasmania and around the world. The journey from this injury has been my greatest teacher and I have adapted many of the techniques from my healers and therapists into the style of treatment I am now able to offer.
The services I offer are:
Deep Tissue Remedial Massage
A detailed and thorough massage focused on deep tissue release, acupressure, tendon alignment, myofascial release, vigorous cross fibre friction to break up stuck tissues, and lymphatic drainage to move blocked fluids.
Although deep my technique is gently firm and precise, with clients often falling into a deep and healing state of relaxation during a treatment.
It is not uncommon for clients to experience an emotional release and re-invigoration of energy during a session, as I work to clear blocked emotions and stagnate energy. The level of release you experience will depend on your level of surrender and breath.
Assisted Dynamic Stretch Therapy
Combining, movement, massage and breath work to strengthen and lengthen the body into a healthier alignment. Drawing from yoga and martial art stretch forms, l guide your body through a personalised sequence of movements to bring greater space to your spine and increase your lung capacity – a full deep breathing pattern is the best way to maintain a healthy musculoskeletal alignment.
I have studied yoga and a Manipurian martial art stretch form in India and a stint of kung fu and qi-gong in China. I incorporate movements from each of these practices, tailored to meet your body’s specific needs.
Aromatherapy and Psycotherapy with DoTERRA Oils
The actions of essential oils on our physical being and psyche are profound. They work on a biochemical level as well as a vibrational level. Biochemically essential oils have vast medicinal qualities, including aiding circulation, relieving muscle spasm and improving tone, blood purification and many more. The aromatic molecules of the oils act in the limbic system of the brain, altering our brain chemistry, improving our psyche, mood and sense of self worth. Each oil vibrates at is own unique frequency which acts on and alters our own vibration. Each plant has a different aspect of healing to offer, from lack of self worth, to lethargy to enhancing creativity.
Internal Alchemy
Incorporating qi-gong, breath and energy work, we explore your internal energy patterns, restoring flow through the various energy pathways of your being, transforming stagnate energy and drawing in and packing qi into your body to direct it to the bones and organs. We will also work to clear and re-invigorate your chakra centres.
