Racheal C.
I am a registered massage therapist with a Diploma from the Australian Shiatsu College in Shiatsu and Oriental Therapies. My client led, trauma informed work invites deep listening to the innate wisdom of your body to allow a process of unwinding into greater mobility and wholeness.
During a massage session, we might be working with:
* The relationship between your body, emotions, armouring, tension, and living in survival mode.
* How to feel comfortable in your own skin, move with ease, and find relief from pain and injuries.
* The possibility of identifying and releasing numbness, shielding, and armouring to create a safe space for increased sensation and connection within your body
I have been a massage therapist for 7 years, and my work is inspired by the connection between the body and life. I believe it is through the body and its sensations that we fully experience life, moving in a continuous flow of expansion and contraction. My goal is to help harmonize these movements so that the body can return to its natural balance (homeostasis), finding rest, vitality, health and authentic self-expression.
With a solid foundation in Hatha Yoga (25 years) and circus arts (aerial silks – 10 years), I bring fluidity of movement and respect for individual rhythm to each of my sessions. I incorporate Eastern techniques such as Ayurveda, Shiatsu, and Thai massage, offering well-being, connection, and self-regulation.
