My Story

My story started when I was 13 years old.

II was diagnosed with scoliosis, a significant curvature of the spine. My curve was too severe to be managed with a brace, and by the age of 15 I underwent two major spinal surgeries within two weeks of each other. I spent a month in hospital recovering.

Like many people living with pain, I was searching for anything that could help.

One of the greatest gifts during that time was my massage therapist. In fact, she was the person who first recognised something wasn’t right and encouraged me to seek further investigation. While I waited for surgery, she treated me regularly, helping me manage my pain so effectively that I never needed pain medication.

But what she gave me was far greater than pain relief.

Growing up in Ocean Grove meant spending a lot of time at the beach. As a teenager with a curved spine, I looked different to my friends, and like many young people, I felt incredibly self-conscious. My massage therapist created a space where I felt accepted, understood and comfortable in my own body.

That experience changed the direction of my life.

For the past 26 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping people reconnect with their bodies through Remedial Massage. Along the way I’ve continued studying, adding Bowen Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to my toolkit.

Every modality has given me another way of understanding the incredible connection between the body, the nervous system and the mind.

Around 2010, I became a certified NLP Practitioner and later a business coach for the massage industry.

While I coach Massage Therapists professionally, I also use NLP throughout my treatment sessions because our thoughts, emotions and nervous system play such an important role in healing.

For some clients, we also work together through standalone NLP coaching to support health goals, confidence, habits, fears or other challenges that may be affecting their wellbeing.

A few years ago, I experienced Gentle Scar Therapy for the very first time, and it completely changed the way I understood scars.

I was amazed by how incredibly gentle the treatment was, and even more amazed by the changes I experienced in my own body. I hadn’t realised that scars I had lived with for years were still influencing the way my body moved, felt and functioned.

That experience sparked another deep curiosity.

Today, Gentle Scar Therapy has become one of my greatest passions.

I regularly work with people who are recovering from surgery or living with scars that are years, or even decades, old.

Once a scar is fully healed, whether that’s eight weeks, ten years or ninety years later, it can still respond beautifully to treatment.

Many of the people I see arrive after trying everything else. They may have been told that nothing more can be done, yet they know something still doesn’t feel right. Together, we gently explore what their body has been adapting to and create a treatment plan that’s unique to them.

My treatments are never “one size fits all.”

Depending on what your body needs on the day, I may combine Remedial Massage, Gentle Scar Therapy, Bowen Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy, Remedial Hot Stones and NLP. Every skill I’ve learnt has one purpose: helping you move more freely, reduce pain, regulate your nervous system and feel at home in your body again.

Many of my clients have trusted me with their care for 10, 15 and even 26 years, and it is one of the greatest privileges of my career to walk alongside them through different seasons of life.

If you’re living with pain, recovering from surgery, navigating the effects of scar tissue, or simply feel like your body isn’t functioning the way it used to, I’d love to help.

Every treatment is thoughtfully tailored to you. With over 26 years of experience, I combine gentle hands-on therapy with a personalised approach to help reduce pain, restore movement, and support your body's natural healing.
