NATURAL THERAPIES

​​​WHAT TREATMENTS DO YOU HAVE AND WHAT ARE THEY LIKE?

Treatments last between 60–90 minutes. Your first sessions also involves an assessment of up to 30 minutes. This enables me to work out a strategy to suit your individual needs. Treatments can involve any combination of the following styles:

 

SHIATSU is where yoga meets massage. It involves stretching and manipulating muscles and joints, special breathing techniques and acupressure; these rebalance energy flow through your meridian system — a series of energy pathways closely connected with all your vital organs and body systems. Many have reported feeling more energised and alert after a session. Three consecutive sessions are recommended for the best effect.

​

FOOT REFLEXOLOGY begins with soaking your feet in a warm bath with Epsom’s salts and essential oils. You then relax on the treatment table where your feet are given a comprehensive massage. Specific areas on the feet link directly to your internal organs via the nervous system. This therapy will help you feel well and relaxed and can alleviate longstanding physical problems.

 

AROMATHERAPY relaxes and detoxifies your mind and body. Plants have been used for their therapeutic properties for centuries. Their pleasant essential oils are effective in treating a wide range of health problems. Application is usually via a massage oil blend or sometimes a vaporiser is used to diffuse your special blend in the air for you to inhale during the session.

 

REIKI is a comforting, hands-on technique that assist recovery from injuries and stress by subtly re-balancing your energy system. From an infinite source, I can channel a potent Reiki energy through my hands to you for ‘your best and highest good’, i.e., your being instinctively knows how to best utilise the Reiki energy that it receives during the session. During the treatment you would rest, fully clothed on a cushioned table. Most people report feeling deeply relaxed and nourished after a session. Reiki also brings mental clarity and emotional equilibrium.

​

AURA AND CHAKRA BALANCING can calm and also restore emotional equilibrium. I suspend a pendulum above specific areas of your body called chakras or energy centres. The swing of the pendulum indicates the progress of the energy balance. In a similar way to Reiki, universal healing energy is transferred through the pendulum to you. No touch is involved. This technique cleanses, re-charges, re-balances and protects the energy field around your physical body. Combining this process with other techniques can offer more lasting benefits.

 

LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE involves massaging the lymph nodes and very light movements across the skin, which helps drain excess lymph fluid from the extremities. This is a very effective technique for reducing swelling caused by lymphedema or surgical removal of the lymph nodes.

 

THE THETA TECHNIQUE is one of the newest modalities available. It gives you the tools to identify and radically change limiting beliefs that may be holding you back from achieving your highest potential. During the process, you also learn new, positive feelings and receive a boost in energy to support you on your way forward.

​

During a Theta session, the practitioner serves as an intermediary between you and the ‘Source/Universal Intelligence/Creator of all that is/God’ (feel free to use the term with which you are most comfortable). Using kinesiology-style muscle testing — a simple questioning process and intuition — all parties seek to weed out limiting belies that support dysfunction and replace them with an alternative that supports you for your ‘best and highest good’. Following this, new feelings are instilled to help you to live in a more fulfilling way. No changes can be made without your permission, so your consent is sought at all steps throughout the treatment. Sessions are done fully clothed and, weather permitting, can be done outdoors in a pleasant garden setting.

 

The Theta Technique enables you to live a more joyous and fulfilling life that better serves you and those around you. It can help with all kinds of mental, emotional and physical problems including:

  • addictions

  • phobias

  • depression

  • relationship problems

  • low self-esteem

  • physical diseases.

​

Theta clients often report miraculous changes in the way they think and feel after a session.

​

BOOKINGS AND DEPOSITS

To confirm your appointment, a 20% deposit is required for all new clients. This deposit is credited toward your session and simply secures the time exclusively for you.

HOLD WITHOUT DEPOSIT

​

WHY IS THERE A DEPOSIT?

My work is highly personalised and appointment times are limited. Most clients appreciate that the deposit is not an extra charge — it simply reserves a space that’s dedicated entirely to their session. After more than 20 years of providing therapeutic services, I’ve found that clients who are ready to commit have no concerns with the deposit. It helps us both honour the appointment and ensures I can prepare to offer you the best possible experience. It also allows me to offer a high-quality, professional service while respecting the time and commitment of both myself and my clients. Your understanding and cooperation are genuinely appreciated.

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Perth, Western Australia. I first became interested in natural therapy as a child. My nanna was involved in a car accident when I was about eight years old. She hurt her legs and was in a lot of pain. I used to help her by massaging her legs, something dad showed me how to do. I also used to help him with his ‘bad back’ with massage and heat packs. Both my sisters were hairdressers and soon showed me how to give head massages. That became a kind of currency in our house, that is, ‘‘you do the washing up for me, and I’ll give you a head massage’’.

 

Fast forward to my uni days, when I met Dawn Bruggen, a Reiki Master, who offered to train me in the art of Reiki in return for my sound recording skills. I went on to study the first two levels of Reiki with her in 1992 and 1993.

 

From the mid-1990s to July 2020, I worked in Canberra as a natural therapist. I moved my main practice, mid-pandemic, to the Cairns/Port Douglas area in Far North Queensland.

 

I treat a wide range of common physical problems, such as soft tissue injuries, digestive problems, muscle aches, painful joints and post-operative scars. I also have success treating various mental and emotional problems, such as trauma and stress-induced anxiety, relationship problems, depression, sleep disorders, phobias, lack of motivation and emotional/mental fatigue.

 

My qualifications include BA (English), Diploma in Health Sciences (Shiatsu and Oriental Therapies), Diploma Hatha Yoga, Certificate in Tantric Yoga, Certificate in Massage Therapy, Reiki Master Level 3, and Advanced Theta Healing. Diploma of Music, and Sound Therapy.

​

PLEASE NOTE I am located in White Rock, a suburb of Cairns, Queensland.
