My Training
My Story

I graduated as a sports and remedial massage therapist in 2002, and have continued my interest and studies in women's health, fertility, pregnancy, birth and beyond. Whilst living in Melbourne I taught many subjects in the remedial massage degree for 7 years, before moving up to our beautiful Northern Rivers in 2011.

I've long had a respect and passion for the body, for what it carries for us and copes with. we can put an enormous load emotionally and physically on it, and it rarely complains. For me, massage is more than muscle deep, it needs to treat the whole person. So I work with posture, muscles,fascia, hearts and minds.

I had the good fortune of stumbling into HypnoBirthing before the birth of our first child in 2008.With this fantastic course my fears of a painful birth were gone.I have since had 3 beautiful drug free, natural births, .I am excited to be  teaching this fantastic birth tool and to be sharing such an important and rare journey with families.

My Philosophy

 

FOR MASSAGE

​

​

Massage benefits the whole being, it brings you back to healthy diaphragm breathing, which massages your internal organs and returns your body to your parasympathetic nervous system. It relieves tired, overworked or dysfunctional muscles. It allows your mind a bit of 'switch off' time.  It improves your posture and awareness in how your body moves. It helps your circulatory and lymphatic system to function well.Every one of the body's 12 systems are supported and nourished by experienced massage therapists. I absolutely love massage.

 

​

 

FOR PREGNANCY MASSAGE

​

I believe the pregnant body deserves specialist care, someone who knows pregnancy well, stays informed and up to date in their field, someone to care for the healthy changes in your ever changing body. Postural, emotional, spiritual. Someone who really listens to you. Someone that can help you attain the birth and entry into parenthood that you desire. For many years now I have supported women in their pregnancy and post natal care. Every woman and every pregnancy is different, one treatment does not fit all.

​

IN BIRTHING

​

Every woman  is her own expert and has an innate knowledge of pregnancy and birth. In our modern lifestyle we have taken steps away from this inner knowing guided mainly by what we hear in traumatic stories or see on TV.

 My aim is to aid this intuition and back it up with information, understanding,research and knowledge and leave you and your birth partner full of confidence and excitement to birth your baby.
This is a rare and special time in your life,  a time to nurture and give to yourself and your growing baby.
