Cairns Pregnancy Massage
As a massage therapist and bodyworker with 10 years experience as a birthworker, I provide nurturing pregnancy and postpartum massage, pelvic alignment and functional bodywork to support you through all stages of pregnancy, birth and beyond.
Internal Pelvic Release
I provide internal pelvic release work sessions, 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, supporting conditions from pelvic prolapse to endometriosis.
Empowering Birth Education
I provide empowering birth education and active birth preparation classes in group settings and private sessions to provide personalised guidance and holistic support on your journey. Available in Yorkeys Knob, your home and online.
