About our team

My style of bodywork is infused with techniques of deep tissue, remedial massage, and bowen therapy, as well as more traditional eastern practices of ayurvedic abhyanga and thai massage. I respond to the existing tensions and the present experience within your body – each treatment is tailored to your body in the moment, to unravel what is needed to release, restore, and integrate your whole body system.

My approach is detailed and comprehensive, at times working deeply and intensely, moving swiftly with the breath, and sometimes moving slowly with a tender touch. I work intuitively to assist my clients in releasing physical and emotional stagnancy, tension, and stress, creating more space for regulation, recovery, and rest. 

My intention is to support the body's innate healing intelligence. I aspire to understand your challenges, needs, and desires through viewing your emotional state and physical symptoms as the body’s way to communicate where balance needs restoring.

I began massaging from my private studio in 2018, which has recently grown and evolved into Bodyworks in 2024. I founded Bodyworks as an expression of my admiration of the human body. I am dedicated to educating people on the profound role the body plays in the health of the mind, community, and even our connection to the natural environment.

It is a joy to share how essential bodywork is for overall health and wellbeing, especially when implemented as a regular, preventative practice. I am especially passionate about women’s health, bodies, and the challenges we commonly share. I am particularly interested in working with menstrual and hormonal health, and how the challenges of our physical body impact flow, our cycles, and our emotional, social, and mental health.

I am a qualified massage therapist and bowen therapy practitioner. Following my deep respect and admiration for female bodies and the birth space, I have also studied internal pelvic release work with Fiona Hallinan and Jenny Blyth, advanced urogenital manipulation with osteopath Nathalie Lejuenue, and I am close to completing my midwifery studies at ACU Australian Catholic University.

I believe that bodywork is not just a practice or a treatment, but it can be a life-changing experience that supports women to reconnect with some of the deepest parts of themselves.

I specialise in supporting women+ to connect with some of the most intimate and powerful parts of their body through internal pelvic release work. I am passionate about pelvic wellness and reducing birth trauma. It is an honour to sit with and witness women through their experience.

I came across this intimate and powerful bodywork after I had birthed my child and was having difficulty connecting back to my body. I lacked confidence and had a lot of fear around the changes my body had gone through. My episiotomy scar scared me, and I had fear around the discomfort and the new sensations I might feel during intimacy, let alone what my body’s abilities were if I were to ever birth again.

My profound experience with IPRW led me to want to know more so I could share with other women+. I was completely baffled as to why I had never heard of this profound type of bodywork before, and why it wasn’t widely accessible knowledge.

I am honoured to be navigating this space, and I will forever be a student amongst the infinite wisdom the pelvis holds. I am committed to the service of women+, offering them the possibility of reclamation, liberation, and change while supporting and holding them in what arises on their journey.

I am grateful to have been trained by Fiona Hallinan and Jenny Blyth in their 2022 IPRW mentorship. I have also studied to be a birth attendant with Rhea Dhempsey in 2023, and as the year came to a close, I completed advanced urogenital manipulation with osteopath Nathalie Lejuenue.

Originally a myotherapist, I am particularly experienced with pain education and supporting pain management, resulting in bodywork that has a nurturing effect on the body and the psyche. My practice works with the body as a way to tune into and support emotional wellbeing. 

Bridging the mind and body forms the cornerstone of my approach to bodywork by encouraging individuals to forge a deeper connection to themselves, empowering them to take an active role in their own lives. My treatments aim to guide my clients out of the brain where pain is acutely felt and into their bodies, activating the parasympathetic nervous system and promoting self-healing.

An important aspect of my work involves education on our relationship with pain. By formulating effective pain management strategies and nurturing a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection, we can alleviate the fear and anxiety typically linked with pain experiences.

I am in constant pursuit to expand my knowledge of our bodies' wisdom, aiming to integrate the entire system into my practice.

My multidisciplinary approach to bodywork informs my assessment of symptoms and enables me to create holistic, personalised treatments. I graduated as a myotherapist from RMIT in 2018, and since then, I've undertaken studies in hatha yoga in India, Visceral Manipulation Abdomen 1 at the Barral Institute, and urogenital manipulation with Nathalie Lejeune. I am currently immersed in Zen Shiatsu studies with the Australian Shiatsu College and an ongoing bodywork mentorship with Georgia Jane.

My life has revolved around bodily expression from a young age. A professional dancer until my early twenties, I transitioned into yoga soon after, and found it to be a practice that captured my attention and dedicated commitment. 

I have been teaching yoga internationally for over 10 years, including developing and delivering teacher training courses and retreats across Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia.

As a yoga teacher, movement facilitator, and bodyworker, I am passionate about anatomy, breath, how to move well, and helping people reconnect with their innate ability to move with freedom. I teach foundational practices that support people to connect with and love their bodies.

My life’s purpose is to guide people into living a more embodied life through movement, and bodywork.

Since becoming a mum, I felt a calling to go deeper with my touch practice, so in 2023 I began a bodywork mentorship with Georgia Jane to expand my offering and deepen my understanding of the body. In addition, Georgia and I created our Embracing Touch workshop to help people reconnect with touch, and a sense of empowered embodiment.

I completed my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training with Yoga Works, with further training in Zen Thai Shiatsu Massage (Level 1) and Structural Integration. I have worked at studios including One Hot Yoga, Warrior One, the Light Practice, Good Vibes Yoga, and Australian Yoga Academy.

As an Osteopath, I have devoted myself to the study of the body and how it functions—both its individual components and, most importantly, its function as a unified whole. I marvel at the intricacies of the human body, how form dictates structure and therefore motion in the body. My vision is to educate, empower and enlighten individuals about the elaborate functions of the body, its mechanisms, and how to cultivate homeostasis.

My personal experience of rehabilitating from a chronic injury while in my early 20's drew me to Osteopathy. Through this experience I gained an insight into how fundamental bodywork is to the human body and how essential it is to heal. In my practice, I find fulfillment in establishing a relationship of trust and safety with my patients and offering a client centred approach. I achieve this by offering informed advice, a commitment to presence and deep listening, tailored exercise prescriptions, and self-management strategies to help my patients reach their goals.

My intention when treating is to facilitate the body's natural healing processes by identifying the primary source of your pain. This entails recognising your physical symptoms, as well as understanding that the body represents a unified whole, which includes psychological and social factors (biopsychosocial model of care). I treat all walks of life, and a wide variety of conditions all ranging from acute to chronic. My passion resides in nervous system regulation, women's health, pregnancy, and breath/respiratory function.

As a qualified Osteopath, I have completed my Bachelor of Clinical Sciences (Osteopathic Studies) and my Master of Osteopathic Medicine at Southern Cross University in NSW. My aspiration is to see Osteopathy grow as a widely used health care modality for all, delivering effective treatment and health education to address
lifestyle-related health concerns, ultimately promoting wellbeing, and improving quality of life so you can enjoy more of the things you love in life! In my spare time I embrace all kinds of movement, which may include all forms of dance, Pilates, and yoga. I also have a very dedicated meditation practice and
appreciate the beauty and simplicities in life.
