Do you have neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, other discomfort? Maybe you have headaches, sinus or jaw problems? Maybe you are just stressed. I have professional qualifications in a number of modalities to assist you to overcome these types of concerns. Why put it off? Make an appointment for some time just for you!I trained as a division 2 Nurse in 1980 and was involved in the medical field for over 20 years. Since the late 1990's, I developed a strong interest in natural therapies as a means to help people in a less invasive way. I have completed professional development in many different modalities.
I very much enjoy continuing to explore and study natural therapies. My treatments are aimed to assist with stress, tension, discomfort and imbalance within the body. I have a strong commitment to facilitate healing for every client.
I feel natural therapies are important in assisting and working with more traditional medicine for greater wellbeing.

What to expect from a session
I tailor each treatment session to each person. You can have a session that is purely for indulgence and relaxation or to address particular issues like stress, headache, neck and joint pain etc. There are so many conditions that respond in a very positive way. I try to help with long term improvement by discussing posture, stretching and more effective ways of moving.
Massage Therapy
Therapeutic & Relaxation Massage
Massage has long been an accepted treatment for stress and discomfort.
You can have relaxation massage which is gentle and great for overall well-being. Therapeutic massage which is more specific in treating knots, tightness and stiffness in muscles and joints, by use of trigger point, acupressure, deeper massage and stretching.
I always aim to relieve discomfort and not create it!
When you receive massage, pain, stress and tension ebb away as muscles relax and blood and lymphatic flow improve. Your body is able to clear toxins and function in a healthier way. You will feel energised.
Hot Stone Massage
I now offer Hot stone massage therapy as well.
Hot stone therapy has been around for a very long time. It is believed it was used back before the Shang Dynasty. The use of hot stones has been used by Native American Indians and throughout the Far East.
When the heated stones are placed on the body they help relieve tired, aching muscles by penetrating deep into the tissue. As part of the treatment heated stones are also used to massage throughout back, legs and arms. The muscles soften and release. The hot stones bring more oxygenated blood into the area, increase lymph flow and bring about a pleasant state of relaxation.
Cold stones can also be used as part of the treatment to assist the clearing of inflammation and help restore harmony.
Indian Head Massage
A stimulating seated massage of shoulders, neck, face and scalp. Wonderful for relaxation, stimulates lymph drainage, stretches and restores movement in the joints of the neck and shoulders. An indulgent massage that also promotes health and vitality for your hair and skin.
