Remedial Body Therapy
Suffering from acute or chronic aches and pains, remedial body therapy focuses in on your issue and comes up with the best treatment plan to address your needs. A number of different modalities will be used to improve mobility and reduce pain. Even complex conditions such as carpel tunnel and thoracic outlet syndrome can be addressed.
Treatment could involve working with the musculoskeletal system, nerves, fascia, visceral organs or energy work. With the knowledge that where the pain is, is not necessarily where the problem is, and that a holistic approach works best.
Each session will involve a comprehensive assessment, including pre and post evaluation. As well as take home exercises and lifestyle changes.
Preganancy Massage
Whether it's your first child or a new sibling getting ready to land, every parent deserves a high level of pre and post-partum care. A relaxation massage can help with sleep and fatigue issues, that can come with a pregnancy, and remedial massage can help with any pain issues you might be experiencing.
Also after the birth, bodywork can help with recovery times and any problems that come up, even years later. Especially relevant with any scar tissue created from C-sections and birthing difficulties. Give yourself the well deserved time out and nurturing for you before things get extra busy with little ones. Second & Third trimester only.
Relaxation & Hot Stone Massage
Had a recent injury or planning to have surgery. Restorative can help speed up your recovery and reduce the chance of ongoing issues. I'll also endeavour to work alongside your physiotherapy and other health care practitioners were appropriate. Aiming for the best possible outcome for you.
What about old injuries, like that fall as a child or more traumatic events like a car crash. The system remembers and your body will compensate for these over your lifetime. Possibly causing those unexplained alignments that you are experiencing.
It's never too late to work with these conditions, as even a simple procedure like a colonoscopy, can create scar tissue or whiplash and concussion can manifest body holding patterns years later.
Injury and Surgery Recovery
Swedish massage techniques and aromatherapy oils are used to unwind from the demands and stresses of life. Whether for general body maintenance or to help address a specific issue, relaxation massage has been used for hundreds of years to improve wellbeing. This style of massage can reduce high blood pressure, improve circulation and immunity, reduce muscle tension and help with sleeping issues, anxiety and depression. As well as chronic conditions such as fatigue and fibromyalgia.
Take it to another level by having a hot stone massage, whereby heated stones are incorporated into the session to gain a deeper state of relaxation.
Mannual Lymphatic Drainage
Visceral Manipulation is a gentle non-invasive technique that involves working with the nerves, fascia and ligaments surrounding the visceral organs, with the aim to improve circulation and restore natural functional movement. Have ongoing issues that don't seem to resolve, this may be the modality for you. For example right hand side shoulder issues may be related to the liver. These techniques also keep working for 3 weeks post treatment, so sessions can be more spaced out and affordable. Please note patients should be comfortable with the abdominal area and bony structures of the thorax and pelvis being worked on.
Visceral Manipulation
The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, nodes, and organs involved in fluid balance, filtering toxins, and the immune system. MLD involves light, gentle, and rhythmic techniques that stimulate lymphatic flow and drainage. Thereby aiding in the reduction of fluid build up in the body and promoting tissue healing.
As well as lymph related conditions, MLD is highly recommended before and after any surgery to speed up recovery times and reduce scarring. Other conditions such as fibromyalgia and sarcoidosis, have shown improved results with this technique.
To work effectively more sessions closer together is recommended. For example 2-5 sessions pre-surgery, with one 24-48hrs before your operation. Depending on your condition, your therapist will discuss with you how many sessions you'll need.

Reiki and Chakra Balancing
Play professionally or as a hobby. A sports massage will help all those weekend warriors, and up your game on the day. More dynamic than relaxation massage, your session will involve a comprehension assessment, focusing on improving flexibility and movement in your joints. Then aiming to improve circulation and condition to your muscles, as well as avoid soreness pre and post events. Both passive and active stretching and METs (Muscle Energy Techniques) will be used on the table. Your massage will either be more general in order to improve overall function or specific to any muscles that need extra attention.
Sports Massage
Attuned in Usui Reiki, this form of energy healing from Japan, promotes an overall sense of well-being and peace. It helps drop the nervous system down into a theta state, whereby optimum energetic balance and flow can be achieved. This aides with relaxation and supports healing systems within the body.
Best described as part of your anatomy you cannot see, your chakra system is a reflection of your emotional state and storey. As well as your energetic connection to your ancestral line, people and places.
Balancing your chakra systems allows you to insightfully explore who you really are and facilitates personal growth. This work is performed within the auric system and may or may not include the placement of stones and crystals during the session.
