What is it? Remedial massage is firm in pressure, using thumbs, hands and elbows to stimulate your muscles, increase and improve circulation, release knots and tightness and release endorphins. How does it work? Massage increases circulation which in turns helps boost your immune system and prompts the body to heal itself.
What is it? Bowen Therapy is named after Tom Bowen (1916 -1982) who worked out that the body has its own innate healing mechanism, which can be triggered by small gentle flicking movements over the muscles, tendons, nerves and ligaments. The manipulation helps hydrate the fascia, and causes toxins to be flushed out of the body.
To make an appointment, please call me - 0419 110 317 - this is definitely the best way for you to contact me. If I'm in treatment, just leave me a message.

Since having a serious rock climbing accident in April 2018, which left me as a paraplegic and unable to walk, Paula has been an integral part of my rehab and recovery journey. I am now able to walk short distances (with aids) and I believe the massage therapy treatments have played a big part in helping me achieve this goal! I highly recommend Paula!

Paula is a life saver! I was recommended by a school mum. I suffer from 5 chronic illnesses including fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, hyper-mobility syndrome, endometriosis and vulvadynia. So my pain daily is alot. I suffered from severe pain where even walking around was hard and painful. Paula has helped me so much, and I can't imagine not going to see her to get pain relief. I have tried everything massage, physio, chiropractor, acupuncture, naturopath. Then I saw Paula!
I could not be more thankful, she has so much knowledge, passion and she really cares for the person as a whole.

Paula is more than just qualified. She has an innate understanding of how to release muscle tension beyond that which you could get through a simple course. She has years of experience and can always identify and release the target ares that make your entire body feel better. She always provides a calm and relaxed environment and is extremely easy to talk to. You will always leave feeling a high level of improvement and she will ask whether you like hard, medium or soft massages to suit what you need at the time. Absolutely recommend.

As a chef and musician I have repetitive strain in fingers, wrists, forearms etc and Paula fixes me each time I see her. She finds aches I didn't know I had and even tho it's often painful, it's also utterly relaxing, and the next day you reap the benefits - everything's back where it should be! Can't recommend her highly enough.
