ABOUT ME

I am a qualified Kinesiologist, Remedial Massage Therapist and NutureLife® Pregnancy Massage Practitioner with over 14 years experience in the healing space. I combine traditional and modern techniques to treat sources of pain and dysfunction in the body, and to encourage the body’s own natural healing abilities.

Throughout my Remedial Massage Therapist career I have assisted countless clients to overcome pain and dysfunction through a blend of techniques including Deep Tissue Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Acupressure, Foot reflexology, Reiki, Lymphatic Drainage and Myofascial Cupping. I have also had considerable experience providing massage services for both pregnant and postnatal women, and have had significant success treating lower back pain, pelvic and hip pain, and headaches that are a common part of pregnancy, as well as providing much needed relaxation.

Even with that success I still became frustrated that while a client would leave my clinic feeling amazing in the short term, their symptoms would either eventually return, or they were still left battling other chronic health conditions that went far deeper than what a regular massage could resolve.

This lead me on a journey in 2020 to learn Kinesiology – a modality that I was personally finding extremely powerful in getting to the bottom of my own lifelong health conditions (think IBS, endometriosis and autoimmune). Through this process I have been able to start reversing my autoimmune condition, and my endometriosis and IBS symptoms are no longer debilitating.

I now have clients who have also experienced amazing shifts in their own physical health, relationships, mental health, mindset and tapping in to their intuitive abilities that they didn’t know they possessed. I have had clients who have reported that they no longer suffer from endometriosis symptoms, thyroid issues, gut dysfunction, and have had chronic physical pain disappear. Other clients have reported changes to their stress levels, improved relationships and increased clarity in their next steps in the careers. I have even been able to successfully reverse clients’ allergies in only one visit.

Now I see both remedial massage and kinesiology clients in my practice. Remedial massage is wonderful as it helps to relieve your muscle tension and pain, whether from a specific injury, over-use or mis-use of the body structure. Then, using Kinesiology I can delve even deeper into the underlying cause of not only the physical pain (which is particularly useful for my remedial clients who find that the pain just keeps returning to the same spot on the body no matter how much massage, chiropractic or physiotherapy sessions they have throughout the month), but we can also delve into the mental, emotional and spiritual imbalances that are causing stress within the body. My kinesiology clients have been able to overcome their physical pain, emotional stressors, hormonal imbalances, sleep difficulties and gut dysfunction and much more through regular kinesiology sessions.

It is my passion to ensure that nobody has to wait as long as I did to finally get answers to why their health is suffering. I am constantly learning and studying to add even more tools to my toolkit to be able to help my clients live healthy and happy lives. I look forward to meeting you too to see what we can achieve together!
