I have extensive experience in health and wellbeing with a background of beauty and body therapies and group exercise training. I have worked in many salons, spas and gyms before establishing my own business. I enjoy working with a wide variety of clientele and place great emphasis on developing rapport and creating lasting client relationships. 

 

One of my main motivations is helping clients feel better and return to doing the things that matter the most to them – be that walking the dog, looking after the children /grandchildren or running a marathon. I endeavour to really listen to clients and, together, develop the best treatment approach for them. 

 

I am a huge advocate for hands-on therapy including massage and other soft tissue techniques to achieve positive physical effects such as reducing pain, tension and inflammation. My experience as a manual therapist has also shown that additional therapeutic effects such as relaxation can have a positive impact on stress and sleep. This in turn can improve overall health and wellbeing and quality of life. 

 

As well as implementing passive techniques, I thrive on empowering clients to take control of their health and wellbeing and fully believe that exercise is the key to achieving optimal health. As an avid gym goer myself with a passion for weight training and calisthenics, I strive to use my enthusiasm for exercise to help clients see the benefits and enjoyment that exercise can provide. 

 

Always keen to develop new skills to help my practice, I am undertaking my Pilates certification with the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute (APPI). Pilates is a fantastic exercise approach to help awaken and utilise the core muscles effectively. Working with clients on a one-to-one basis, I teach exercises for postural control and stability to improve mobility, flexibility, injury/pain rehabilitation and injury/pain prevention.
