Massage Therapy
Remedial Therapy + Bodywork
Whether you require Relaxation Massage to calm and reset your body and mind, or Remedial Therapy approach with attention to injuries, sore spots and tension, or Abdominal Scars to be released like C-sections to minimise pain, tension and adhesions. I approach each session with your unique needs and lifestyle with care, blending my understanding of functional anatomy so your experience is a whole person approach.
I am passionate about working with women and femmes to move more freely and breathe a little easier. With a particular interest in functional movement for life and recreational activities, women’s health, and the perinatal continuum.
Each treatment you get to experience a foot soak and massage pre-treatment.
With a holistic and professional approach I look forward to supporting you to feel more at home in your body.
La Cave is my home studio, an ode to the yin, the feminine, the womb. A place to rest, recover, and reconnect in stillness. It is located amongst the mountain and forest north of Nipaluna, Hobart. A Female Client Studio and by Appointment Only.
