It is not always easy to find a good remedial massage therapist (we know), as there are many important aspects that go into making a great therapist:
- They need to have amazing hands that can feel, read and understand the musculoskeletal structure of the body
- Have the skills to be able to create true and lasting tissue change
- Understand the body in it's structure and function
- And let's face it . . . they need to be a person that you would want to be around.
Bodywork can support with . . .
Our practitioners are fully qualified not only in Remedial Massage but they have also completed further studies in Chakra-puncture and other bodywork therapies.
This allows a more comprehensive view of the body and a more in-depth understanding of the structural alignment process within the body. It is important that our body is supported to be in its natural alignment as this supports all other muscles, tissue and internal organs. There are many things that get in the way of our body structure being in alignment including: posture, ingrained patterns of movement, compromising work spaces, injuries, sporting overload or imbalance, mood, self-esteem and our general psychological wellbeing. Our practitioners work with your body using gentle but profound techniques that not only support the body to re-align itself but ensure the body reduces its propensity to go out of alignment.
Massage is one of the most important bodywork modalities when it comes to changing our body posture and movement. When our tissue is tight, lacking appropriate circulation, lacking nutrients, weak or inactive - massage can offer it a reset. Our goal is not to make you reliant on massage but to offer you and your body the tools necessary to stay healthy, relaxed and well-supported. When it comes to the body, we know our stuff . . . and we also give a fantastic massage.
"There is so much that we are yet to discover about the body and there is a lot of new and exciting research being produced around the importance of connective tissue. This work is helping us understand the intricacy of the tissue organisation within the musculoskeletal system and it's connection with the entire body. This fundamental understanding of connective tissue is important for all massage therapists, as working effectively with the body requires great feel, a genuine intention and insight into the aspects of a client's life that change the structure, function and quality of tissue within their body.

"In my experience it is difficult to offer true remedial therapy to the body without an understanding of the esoteric (innermost nature) of a person and the postures and 'stances' to life that are held and lived on a daily basis. A person living in stress, tension and a multitude of differing contractions including poor self worth, self esteem or self loathing will always find it difficult to correct musculoskeletal conditions, as the very foundations of the mechanics of posture and movement are set in the presence or energetic ways of a person. There is still much within musculo-skeletal therapy that is unknown and essentially chalked up to stress or personality type. It is here that the principles of remedial esoteric massage provide much of the answers required in unravelling the effect that a person's state of being has on their body mechanics and musculoskeletal health."
"One of the things that I constantly remind my massage students is that we need to work with the body, never against it. The body has an amazing ability to reconstitute itself and when you truly understand the body, painful or rough techniques are never required to make quality change within body tissue. A person's body tells their unique story and understanding how a person has used the function and structure of their body which includes their attitudes and beliefs always offers a more complete result."

Esoteric Bodywork & Massage
Our practitioners practice massage founded on years of experience working with the body as well as an extensive ongoing professional development program to continually improve practice and outcomes for chronic or complicated conditions.
Our practitioners have specialised experience in esoteric massage, including skills and experience of body awareness and the mechanics of posture and movement. Practised this way, massage is a gentle, healing massage that frees the body from ingrained patterns of disharmonious movement that cause stress, tension, pain and wear to the body. This supports a person's body to return to its own true and harmonious posture and natural movement. Many people live life, changing the way they express and move their body as a result of hurts, stressors, burdens and emotional reactions. This contributes greatly to the injuries, illnesses and inevitably what we accept as “just getting old”.
Esoteric Massage is a healing based massage technique that is deeply relaxing and settling for the body. It works to clear layers of stress, tension and energetic imposition held in the body. Through this it supports the body to return to a natural ease and freedom of movement. Each area of the body not only has a physical function it performs throughout the day, it also has an energetic meaning and purpose. An esoteric massage session works to return and restore each area to its natural physical and energetic state.
"Relaxation is a multifaceted skill that the body innately knows but over years of stress, tension or trauma can forget and become trapped in a cycle of stress and tension. A good therapist knows how to work with the body at this level and support the process of restoring the bodies natural propensity to return to relaxation after experiencing stress and tension."

Relaxation Massage
Our relaxation massage therapists give great massages, have hands of gold and absolutely love what they do.
Our relaxation massages are deeply relaxing and if you don't feel relaxed after one... we will give you your money back!
A good relaxation massage therapist can be hard to find, as there are many things that go into making a great therapist. To start with, they need to have amazing hands that can feel and read the body, have the ability to be able to create true and lasting tissue change, understand how stress and tension play out in the body and also . . . be a person who is genuinely relaxed themselves. As a therapist if you are not genuinely at ease in your own life and your own body then you can not offer a point of relaxation for another.
Our amazing practitioners are fully qualified not only in Relaxation Massage but they have also completed further studies in other relaxation therapies such as Connective Tissue Therapy, Specialised Women's massage, Chakra-puncture, and Sacred Esoteric Healing.
