Cairns Massage Therapist
As a massage therapist and bodyworker with 10 years experience as a birthworker, I provide nurturing pregnancy and postpartum massage, therapeutic massage for women of all ages, pelvic alignment and functional bodywork to support you through all stages of pregnancy, birth and beyond.
Pelvic Alignment & Release
I provide internal pelvic release work, combining pelvic alignment with internal release of tension in the soft tissues of the pelvis. This work restores balance and function to the pelvic floor, improving comfort and supporting conditions from pelvic prolapse to endometriosis.
Empowering Birth Education
I provide empowering birth education and active birth preparation in group workshop formats and as private sessions for couples to provide personalised guidance and holistic support on your journey. Available in Yorkeys Knob, your home in Far North Queensland and online.
