When are you available for appointments?
Do you have gift cards?
- Yes! eGift cards can be purchased here
- Health insurance rebates are not available for treatments paid for by gift card.
- All gift cards purchased are valid for a minimum of three years from date of purchase in accordance with current consumer laws.
Can I claim health insurance rebates?
- Rebates are available for remedial treatments only, and are also dependent on things such as your level of cover, and any caps that may apply etc.
- Sometimes insurance providers will not provide rebates for remedial treatments if they are more than 60 minutes in duration, again this depends on your policy.
- Pregnancy massage treatments with me are considered remedial treatments.
- A receipt with claim details will be emailed to you after you have had your treatment and payment has been made in full (usually within 24 hours).
- If you are redeeming a gift card you will not be able to claim health insurance rebates (that’s the insurers decision, not mine)
Is there any paperwork I have to fill in?
If you are a new client, then yes. It’s important that I obtain some details about your health history before any massage takes place.
You’ll receive a text message or email with an electronic form to be completed before your appointment.
This is a requirement that I have to meet to maintain my association membership, to maintain my public indemnity insurance, and to meet the requirements of health insurance providers too.
Returning clients can leave the paperwork to me.
How do I pay for my massage?
- You can pay by credit card or eftpos on my Square device immediately before or after your treatment.
Do I have to be fully vaccinated to get a massage?
No, you no longer need to be fully vaccinated to get a massage.
Regardless of vaccination status, if you have any signs of illness (not just covid symptoms) please do not attend the clinic. You can rebook your appointment to another time when you are well.
You can find my Covid and cancellation policies here.
What are the benefits of massage?
Massage promotes relaxation of the body and mind. It can help you manage stress, relieve aches and pains, improve sleep quality, and generally increases your feeling of wellbeing. Massage can contribute to the maintenance of good health, and the prevention of stress related illness.
I’m pregnant. Can I get a massage?
Yes! I am a Pregnancy Massage specialist, having trained with Pregnancy Massage Australia in 2018. For most women, massage during pregnancy is perfectly safe.
The first trimester requires a few small adjustments in position to ensure comfort, and in the second and third trimester a side lying position is usually the most comfortable.
If you have experienced any complications during pregnancy (past or present) you may require medical clearance from your prenatal care team, GP or specialist before any massage treatment is undertaken. Examples of when this would occur include Pre Eclampsia, blood pressure above 140/90 or unstable blood pressure, cardiac disorders, placenta praevia, cervical weakness, kidney conditions including cystitis.
Conditions where massage is not an option include Eclampsia, HELLP Syndrome, undiagnosed bleeding, pitted oedema, deep vein thrombosis or any other blood clotting disorder.
If you have any questions that I haven’t addressed in the FAQ, please feel free to contact me to discuss if massage is suitable for your circumstances.

I have a chronic illness or condition. Can I get a massage?
In most cases the answer is yes. Massage treatments can be an excellent way to manage chronic pain and enhance or maintain joint mobility for example. Massage can be useful in improving general feelings of wellbeing too.
I have worked in the aged care and palliative massage area so I have lots of experience customising massages to suit individuals.
I also have an autoimmune disease myself, so I know the ups and downs of managing chronic pain and this insight really helps me look after my clients.
I have an injury. Will massage help me?
If it’s a recent soft tissue injury (in the last 48 hours) you may be better to go to your doctor or physiotherapist rather than seeking a massage. If there is a lots of pain, inflammation and/or heat, then it’s best to avoid massage of that area until those symptoms have subsided.
Otherwise, just let me know about your injury when you’re booking your appointment.
What are your qualifications?
I have completed a Diploma of Remedial Therapy in 2019, a Practitioner of Pregnancy Massage qualification in 2018, and a Certificate IV in Massage Therapy in 2009.
I am also a group mat and reformer Pilates Instructor.
I am a member of Massage and Myotherapy Australia and am registered with all major health insurance providers.
