I love being a massage therapist!

Helping people understand the cause of their pain and movement restrictions, then seeing them regain comfort, confidence, and function is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.

My journey began in 1998 after training under the late Margaret Wright. I started my career at a well-known health retreat on the Sunshine Coast, where I saw firsthand how effective massage could be in calming the nervous system, relieving muscle tension, reducing stress, and improving overall wellbeing. It was there that my passion for helping people truly began.

In 2004, a close family member was seriously injured in a motorbike accident. Supporting their rehabilitation gave me invaluable experience in working with complex injuries, chronic pain, and long-term recovery. Massage became an essential part of restoring muscle function, reducing pain, easing tension, and calming the nervous system. This experience deepened not only my clinical knowledge but also my empathy for people living with persistent pain, disability, and complex health conditions.

Over more than 25 years in practice, I have continued to expand my knowledge through ongoing professional education and hands-on clinical experience. In 2021, I completed my Diploma of Remedial Massage, further strengthening my understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy, biomechanics, and the assessment and treatment of pain and dysfunction.

Recognising the vital role of the lymphatic system in healing and recovery, I completed advanced training in Decongestive Lymphatic Therapy (DLT), also known as Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT), in 2024. This internationally recognised gold-standard treatment for lymphoedema includes:

• Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
• Compression therapy
• Exercise and movement therapy
• Skin care and infection prevention
• Sequential Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (SIPC)
• Hivamat® Deep Oscillation Therapy
• Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

My treatments are always tailored to the individual. Every appointment begins with a thorough assessment to identify the underlying cause of your symptoms, rather than simply treating where it hurts. Using a combination of evidence-informed remedial massage techniques and lymphatic therapies, my goal is to restore movement, reduce pain, improve function, and support your body’s natural healing processes.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, living with lymphoedema, or simply wanting to move and feel better, I am committed to providing personalised care in a calm, professional, and supportive environment.

Continuing education remains one of my greatest passions. I regularly attend professional development courses and practical workshops to ensure my clients benefit from the latest evidence-based techniques in remedial massage, lymphatic therapy, pain management, and rehabilitation.

I look forward to helping you move more freely, feel stronger, and get back to doing the things you love.
