I have been a massage therapist for over 25 years. I then went through to do my sports Massage and injury management certificate in 1995.
It all started in 1994 when i left school and i studied a certificate in Therapeutic Massage, the course only went for 16 weeks. After i finished my study i found work in a Massage Clinic in the City, this was a huge eye opener for me, as i had never worked with such different personalities. It was great though as i gained so much valuable experience. i worked at Brisbane Massage Therapy Center for 5 years. When i left in 2001, i decided to give myself a break from the Massage industry and worked in various differing occupations. However massage was always my passion. i decided to go back and in 2010 and complete my Diploma in Remedial Massage through the Australian Institute of Applied Sciences. I started a Mobile Massage Business, so i could work around my children. in that time i worked in different locations and Clinical settings, I've worked with Acupuncturist, Chiropractors and Physio's. With all the experience i have gained over the years, i have now decided to open my own little clinic. i am very excited to be working in my chosen career, and have the opportunity to share my knowledge with everyone.

I bought myself some comfy sneakers today! from Brisbane Foot Clinic in Browns Plains.
I've been struggling with Plantar fascitis and Achilles tendinopathy for months now, and as a Pilates instructor that instructs 20 sessions of Pilates a week in grippy socks, it's been very hard on my poor aging feet. 😁
I had to make the decision to run my classes while wearing supportive sneakers, then whip them off when I need to demonstrate an exercise! 😄
I better get my cueing up to scratch, as I like to demonstrate on a reformer machine or do a full leg sequence together with everyone. However while my foot is healing, I'll need to wear my new sneakers.
They need to make an orthotic supportive grippy sock for Pilates instructors! Maybe I just invented something 🤣

I love teaching this class. I start the class with gentle stretches to target the full body with focus on mobility techniques.
We then use the form roller, starting with rolling the back. As each person is different, the way the form roller is applied is individual and I will modify the techniques to suit each person.
We then go through a full body form roller sequence, and any tender areas are slowly worked on. I have techniques to address these areas with less ouch! 😁
The form roller addresses the muscle fascia and gives you a good stretch.
I also incorporate bands into the stretch session.

Today my son Charlie had his very first Kinesiology session with one of my closest and dearest friends Rebecca McQuilty.
Rebecca is an expert in Neuro-Linguistic Kinesiology, Psychic Counseling, Bio-Resonance Therapy, Stress Healing, Frequency Healing, and Energy Healing.
Healing the Physical and Emotional for Wellbeing, is exactly what Charlie needs.
In Charlie's session today, one of the things that came up in his AO frequency scan was nutrition, so i'm implementing a daily protein smoothie into his diet.
Being on the Autism spectrum means Charlie can be a picky eater and often missing out on key nutrients. It's a work in progress, I will continue to implement other daily routines and healthy habits into Charlie's life, this being a good start.
I thought I would share this video because I am very proud of my Charlie and his willingness to try new things 🥰

Fingers crossed this PRP injection in my left foot works 🤞
I've waited 7 weeks to have it done for painful Plantar fascitis and Achilles tendinopathy 😢

First Stretch and Roll Class was on tonight with Instructor Maggie.
Lots of Oohs and Ahhs when rolling out those tight muscles. Will be well worth it 💪 Great work Team 👍
