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.

“I recently had a pregnancy massage with Shelly and it was divine. She made me feel comfortable and explained why she was going to work on certain areas based on what I had told her about how I was feeling within my body. I felt amazing afterwards with problem areas feeling relieved. I highly recommend Shelly Langford!”

– Patricia Cox

“What a relaxing and healing experience! The most welcoming space I have ever entered – (the relaxation began the second I opened the door) and the best pregnancy massage from someone who clearly knows the pregnant body and what it needs. I felt completely renewed and floated out of there on a cloud. Can’t wait to return again soon! Thanks so much Shelly, you have a gift! Pregnant ladies please don’t hesitate to book in. You won’t regret it.”

– Hannah Corrie

“What a gorgeous experience I had with Shelly. I’d highly recommend her to any mumma. My session was highly educational, informative, relaxing and my body feels nourished. I feel more prepared to birth my baby after spending time with Shelly and I look forward to seeing her again. Very grateful to have found you, Shelly. Thank you!”

– Laura Aszman

“I am 32 weeks pregnant and experiencing back pain, leg pain and cramping. I had my first appointment with Shelly and what an amazing experience, the body work was great and Shelly is very informative answering questions along the way. The massage was a great way to end, very relaxing. I feel a huge difference in pain levels already. I will be booking regularly.”

– Jess Morel

“Shelly has such an incredible talent and knowledge about the woman’s body. I had a pelvis alignment + pregnancy massage and it was delightful. I left feeling a lot more comfortable in my pelvis and relaxed. I will come back soon for another session. Thank you Shelly.”

– Solène Granado

“Shelly is nurturing and really good at specialising to your needs. She is super knowledgeable and creates a space that helps you to feel comfortable. You always float out of her appointments! Best investment in pregnancy!”
