I am a Remedial Massage Therapist and Lymphatic Practitioner based in the Huon Valley, with a background in yoga that continues to inform and shape my approach to bodywork.

My journey into manual therapy grew from a deep interest in the body and its interconnected systems, and has evolved into a practice that is both clinically informed and intuitively guided.

My interest in the lymphatic system and lymphatic care is both professional and personal shaped by lived experience with inflammation and autoimmune conditions. With this I have developed a strong appreciation for the role of the lymphatic system in overall health. I have also seen the impact that lymphoedema and related conditions can have within the community, which drives my commitment to supporting clients through both treatment and education.

I work collaboratively with my clients to ensure each treatment is guided by their needs. This may include adapting techniques, referring on where appropriate, and liaising with other healthcare professionals to support a well-rounded and effective care plan.

My training in Dynamic Myofascial Mobilisation (DMM) was a transformative experience that continues to influence my work in a meaningful way. It deepened my understanding of the body through a somatic lens, allowing me to approach treatment in a way that is both precise and holistic.

I like to integrate a range of techniques when needed—including myofascial cupping, dry needling, and cranial-based approaches—to support the body’s natural capacity for healing and regulation.

Kahuna massage is offered as a distinct modality within my practice. I am deeply drawn to this work for its ability to support release of held patterns in the body and create space for renewal and integration. It offers a different quality of touch and presence that can help shift long-held physical and energetic holding, allowing for a greater sense of flow, openness, and internal reset.

My intention is to create a space where clients feel supported, informed, and connected to their bodies throughout their treatment journey.

As a massage therapist, I believe in empowering your body's inherent ability to heal itself. My role is to support you in unwinding, restoring balance, posture, vitality, and regulation of the nervous system. I approach the body holistically, addressing specific muscle tension while creating a safe environment for relaxation and mind-body connection. Drawing from various techniques, including remedial, deep tissue, Swedish, Balinese, trigger point, stretching and acupressure. 

My interests vary from pain management, injury rehabilitation, deep relaxation, seniors, to expecting and new mothers. I am committed to providing culturally sensitive and inclusive care, welcoming clients of all ages, abilities, backgrounds, and identities. My treatments are adaptive, and I strive to honour your unique needs and life experience.

My own journey with chronic pain, adrenal fatigue, and digestion imbalance has fostered empathy and curiosity about the interconnectedness of body, mind and spirit. Bodywork has been a vital part of my own healing, which has led me to where I am today.  I have many established relationships with local holistic practitioners, from physical and nutritional to emotional and energetic.  I am eager to connect clients with the valley's wealth of knowledge.

I am committed to ongoing education; my practice is continually deepening and refining to provide the best possible care for my clients. This work is truly rewarding, and I’m so excited to share it with my community!

I fell in love with Shiatsu when I was 21 years old. At the time I was on a very different path in the arts, but I knew I would one day return to explore what was a very profound experience. Decades later, in 2018, I graduated from the Australian Shiatsu College and my life was deeply transformed. 

For me, Shiatsu is a deeply moving practice in the sense that it moves things deep in the body which open up unexpected perspectives and new ways of being in the body and in the world. 

The practice is holistic in the sense that it recognises the intrinsic interrelationships between the physical, emotional and spiritual bodies. Once I started recognising this, my chronic health conditions began to shift. 

The body is a wonderful and often very clear communicator when you know how to listen. My role is to listen beneath the loud symptoms at the surface and meet the deeper, underlying part that needs to be heard as the beginning of the healing journey. I work with three key principles which I think are particularly powerful for healing and growth: presence, loving touch, and unconditional positive regard. 

I am currently available Tuesdays

My work is therapeutic & devotional, grounded in presence, intention, deep listening, heart-connection and reverence for the innate healing ability and wisdom of the body. An integrated body/mind/spirit approach underpins my practice.

I first studied Massage Therapy in 2003, and found this work to be a beautiful companion to my creative life. In 2010 I discovered the Hawaiian Healing Arts ~ the heart-centred flow of this beautiful lineage is embedded in my practice (yes, even the Remedial work).

I have journeyed with my own cyclic and fertility challenges, and have found great healing in bodywork. I became a mama in 2016, and the thresholds of pregnancy, birth and parenting continue to be my greatest teachers and inspire my special interest in massage for pre-conception, pregnancy & postpartum and holistic pelvic wellness. 

I am deeply interested in the peri/menopause space, and have lived experience of bodywork being a fantastic tool for wellbeing at this stage of life.

I am ally to the queer community and acknowledge the Melukerdee and Lyluequonny people of the South East Nation, who have practiced the Healing Arts in the Huon Valley, lutruwita, for countless generations.
