Massage doesn't fix everything — but for the right people and the right symptoms, it can make a real difference to how you feel and move. Massage may help relieve, and is designed to support recovery from, the following:
Back pain
Lower, mid and upper back tightness that won't quit.
Learn more →Neck & shoulder tension
From phones, screens, driving and long days.
Tension headaches
Recurring head, jaw and temple tightness.
Learn more →Sciatic-type pain
Tight glutes and lower back pain that runs into the leg.
Learn more →Sports recovery
Heavy training weeks, racing, lifting or playing.
Chronic muscle tension
Long-standing stiffness that's settled in.
Stress & overwhelm
A nervous system that needs to quietly reset.
Always speak to your GP or specialist if you have a medical condition. Massage works best as one part of looking after yourself, not as a replacement for medical care.

Sarah is a member of the Australian Traditional-Medicine Society (ATMS, member #53374), which is the recognition most private health funds require for remedial massage rebates. Whether you can actually claim, and how much, depends entirely on your fund and the level of extras cover on your policy. Please check with your health fund before your appointment to confirm what's covered. A receipt with all the information your fund typically needs is provided at the end of every session.
Your first session begins with a short, relaxed chat about what you'd like to focus on, any injuries or conditions, and how much pressure you prefer. The treatment then takes place in a calm, private room. Sarah checks in throughout to make sure you're comfortable.
If you have specific pain or tightness, remedial, deep tissue, or trigger point massage are good choices. For stress and general wellbeing, relaxation or hot stone therapy may suit better. If you're unsure, mention your goals when booking and Sarah will tailor the session.
