Ever since l was a little girl l was very interested in massage therapy. I remember my dad always asking me to step on his back or my mum to massage her aching feet. In 1997 l decided to start my training at the Southern School of Natural Therapy where l completed my Certificate IV in Massage Therapy and later at Q Academy where l certified as a Remedial Massage Therapist. At the beginning it was more for my general interest, however 15 years later l have established an amazing career and have loved every minute. The smiles on my clients faces after their massage treatments, even after painful treatments, is enough to make me keep doing what l love .

Myofascial cupping – traditionally originating from China, can also be  used in conjuction with remedial massage.  It involves the use of glass or plastic cups that are positioned or glided onto affected muscles or trigger points . The air is removed from the cups either with heat or suction. This process is not painful however you may experience some reddening of bruising of the skin due to congestion of blood flow . The aim of the cups is to lift the connective tissue, loosening any adhesion and enabling blood flow to areas that have been restricted.

NOTE:  Your may feel alittle discomfort during treatment, as the treatment requires to  go deep into the muscle . This discomfort may last for up to 48/72hrs
