My passion is helping workers in high stress occupations find relief from their chronic pain.
Personalised Service:
I understand that each person's body is unique. That's why you deserve to be "listened to and not talked at" concerning your chronic pain. As an experienced massage therapist, I always give time to check in with you at each of your sessions in order to craft your massage specific to what your pain concerns are. I’m here to provide the best massage experience and results in your session.
Massage Styles:
I utilise a wide range of massage techniques to help reduce pain and tension, improve mobility and increase relaxation.
Deep tissue-sport massage, myofascial release, active release, active myofascial therapy (AMT), trigger point, pre/post surgery prep & recovery, assisted stretching, PnF, Esalen/Swedish mix
Nervous System Rebalancing:
This year (2023) I am excited to have the opportunity to mentor into a gentler body work style that assists the nervous system with untying itself from deeply rooted pain. Having both massage styles now at my disposal gives me a wonderful opportunity to address chronic pain on a deeper level. Your inroad to pain relief does not have to be forceful or difficult on your body. Both styles of massage can co-exist in your session in order to get the job done. I look forward to being part of your journey toward better health and comfort with your body.

AMERICAN AIRLINES - FLIGHT ATTENDANT
Before opening Massage In Soma I flew with American Airlines and hosted on private jets at Corporate Jet Support. I loved my job but realised that a flying lifestyle was having a heavy impact on my health and wellbeing. In order to solve this problem, I set out on developing a simple health care routine for myself that I used though my time in the sky. Now as a health care practitioner, I have taken this routine and rolled it into a massage and health protocol session specifically designed for the busy traveler's body in mind. ?
