A treatment combining techniques from Remedial Therapy, Myotherapy, Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, Muscle Activation and Hot Stone Therapy which allow the body to obtain maximum pain relief and freedom of movement. Our aim is in balancing the complete person and to adjust, modify and maintain that balance when it's achieved through a customised client focused treatment. Before any treatment begins, a thorough client consultation and assessment is to be performed to ascertain the client's current health status. As a Remedial Therapist I set out to understand your needs which are unique and therefore particular remedial massage techniques need to be selected with clinical expertise and applied in a way that suits you. Whether it's for a treatment focused on relaxation or for chronic pain, injury or work related conditions there is a treatment available to suit your individual needs and requirements.
A relaxation massage is a smooth, gentle treatment that relieves muscular tension, increases circulation, and promotes a general sense of relaxation. It has a calming effect on the nervous system, reducing stress and pain and promotes a healing environment within the body.
Gua Sha is a traditional healing modality deeply rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The word "Gua Sha" derives from the Mandarin words "gua", meaning to scrape, and "sha", meaning sand.
This therapeutic technique involves using specific tools to gently scrape the surface of the skin, promoting blood circulation, releasing stagnation and restoring the body's natural state.
By stimulating the flow of Qi and blood with the scraping action, Gua Sha activates the body's innate healing mechanism. It's applications encompass a wide range of conditions which not only include musculoskeletal pain but inflammatory conditions, respiratory disorders and stress related issues.
Tools that are used for Gua Sha can range from traditional horn or stone to modern stainless steel and polycarbonates.
Having a Gua Sha treatment isn't just for resolving muscle tension, nerve impingement, tendinopathies, scar tissue, and myofascial tension. It's effect is far more than the surface layers. To treat disease such as wind-cold invasion of the Lung (colds or flus), qi and blood stagnation (pain), fluid stagnation (edema, swelling), cold invasion (frozen shoulder). From a TCM perspective the colour of the sha that arises is also significant for diagnosis of the disease pattern, and expected recovery.
One characteristic of Gua Sha therapy is the generation of "petechiae", a red, rash-like expression on the skin. Called sha in Chinese, this expression is a result of rapid increase in circulation and clearing of stagnant fluid. While it looks sore and painful, it's not!
Before a Gua Sha Therapy session you will be required to complete an Informed Consent + Intake Health and Medical Information Form.
Contraindications: clients with open wounds, bruises, rash, eczema, sunburn, skin infections, or bleeding disorders and blood thinning medication should avoid Gua Sha therapy. It is recommended to speak to a healthcare professional before considering a treatment.
Women who are pregnant can receive Gua Sha with the session omitting lower back and abdomen.
Experience a deeply soothing, warm and penetrating hot stone treatment with a full body aromatic massage. The hot stones expand blood vessels which encourages blood flow throughout the body. Also having a sedative effect that can relieve chronic pain, reduce stress and promote deep relaxation. Relaxation massage can either be performed on the whole body, or customized to focus on particular areas of muscular tension and pain.
ERT Sessions provides a unique holistic energetic re-balance where blocked emotions and energy imbalances can be identified and then released. These blockages can be from past trauma, absorbed from other people in the household or passed on from ancestral family.
The treatment has arisen from the acknowledgement that we are all energetic beings existing in a collective web of a shared energy field. We often share imbalances with our own family's, the people we work with etc, whether this be physical, emotional or spiritual.
Our own thoughts and emotions are often mirrored back to us via family, friends, pets and co-workers. Any blockages in our energetic body are felt by our pets too. As we are all connected, they begin to show the same blockages, although they may express them differently. Everyone's behavioural and physical issues can be explored using this therapy with the results being greatly successful. Dowsing is used to identify the areas of stress within the nervous system and the emotional and/or physical source of the imbalance.
ERT Sessions can be done at Lake Cathie, or by remote via Live Chat, worldwide.
This healing technique is based on the principle that the therapist can facilitate universal energy into the person by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of their body and restore physical and emotional well-being. An Energy Healing treatment stands on its own as a healing practice and is also safely used to support orthodox and complementary medicine. Energy Healing doesn't interfere with or diminish the intended effects of other health or medical practices. Energy Healing is healing which sets the heart to heart intention that can be done hands on (in person) or from any distance with the same effect and outcome. Energy Healing for people does not rely on any type of belief system by you for it to work. Crystals and essential oils can be incorporated into your session if intuitively guided to.

Vibration/Sound therapy takes an integrated approach to health and healing by looking at meridian energy systems, chakras and sound healing properties. It is a form of energy therapy that uses various types of tuning forks to balance an animal (and human's) energy field, resulting in pain relief, relaxation and support for the body to heal.
Vibrational/Sound therapy with the use of tuning forks is done by placing a tuning fork on the body (muscles, bones, spine or joints) to create balance in the energy system, or using the tuning fork at a small distance away from the body to input light and harmony in the biofield.
A tuning fork is an acoustic two tined tool usually made of steel. It will resonate at a constant note when struck against an activator or surface. The musical tone and pitch depends on the length of the fork’s tines and the frequency is measured in hertz.
Tuning fork therapy uses calibrated tuning forks to apply specific vibrations to the dog's body. This can help release tension, balance energy and promote emotional balance.
By having your dog's resonance balanced with tuning forks it will leave them recalibrated, uplifted, cohesive and sonically charged!

Your comfort is of utmost importance to me so whether your session is for a relaxation massage or a pain relieving/mobility improving remedial massage, you will be draped with freshly laundered towels or sheets. All linen is changed after every client!
Pressure can and will be adjusted to your requested comfort.
The soft tissue techniques are used specific to the assessment done before and during your treatment. Some techniques can cause some discomfort but they shouldn't cause pain.
Therapeutic grade essential oils are used with your massage unless you have skin conditions/reactions to oils and you would prefer a light unscented massage oil.
Also, depending on the presenting condition, I can use tools such as cold laser, cycloid vibration, heat packs, hot stones and infrared/red light pads which can facilitate healing and recovery.
Massage always feels good to the body while you're lying on the massage table and the days after one. Your range of movement will improve, muscle tension eased, along with a substantial decrease in your aches and pain levels.
Over the years of working in the massage industry, I have completed other body work courses adopting new technique styles of soft tissue manipulation. Because of this you will no longer "suffer" with a week of tenderness. That being said, what you may experience is a mild form of tenderness in any areas that were worked on in your session later that same day and possibility the next day. Those areas should only cause an awareness of the area of tenderness for a short amount of time.
Within the next 5-7 days, any weak muscles that have been activated may cause a dull ache to be experienced. This is not uncommon and you may begin to think that you are taking one step forward and two steps back. But in actual fact your body is adjusting and wanting to find its balance. The goal is to lessen tightness and restriction, and to strengthen those weak muscles.
There is one other thing I'd like to mention that can occur after a massage, and that is feeling sleepy. This is a normal response! It occurs because of your brain processing information from touch and the techniques that I use. If you find that this sleepiness is extreme, please let me know at your next appointment so that I can adjust how much information is being given to your brain in the next session. Even too much sensory input has a negative effect on your health.
Many clients have asked "how many appointments are needed" before they feel better and this can vary depending on the condition they present with but as a recommendation, a four week treatment plan is best. You will feel more at ease after your very first session. If, however, you have a chronic condition then it may take longer than the recommended initial four week treatment plan.
Please note: each session will be adjusted to your needs, requirements and requests. If you would prefer more of a relaxation massage, instead of a remedial massage then that's more than ok with me!
For Emotional Reset Therapy (ERT), Healy Frequencies, Tuning Fork and Energy Healing Sessions you will remained fully clothed. Wear loose fitting comfortable clothes.
Drink plenty of purified/filtered water before your session. This helps the body greatly and allows energy to flow with more ease in an Energy and Emotional Therapy session.
