Shiatsu massage treatments
Drawing on Eastern traditions and Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shiatsu is a holistic bodywork therapy that works with our energy/qi to balance the mind-body-heart. It is a deeply nourishing experience, and clients can feel more restored and centred in their body after a treatment. Regular treatments may help to reduce stress, relieve physical tension, and contribute to overall wellbeing.
Shiatsu massage is performed fully clothed and lying comfortably on a futon, either on your back, front or side. Each treatment is uniquely tailored to the individual. A qualified practitioner uses thumbs, palms, elbows, knees and feet to apply pressure to various parts of the body. Treatments may also include flowing stretches and gentle rotations of the limbs and joints, simple structural alignments and muscle release techniques.
On a physical level, this has the effect of stimulating circulation, flow of lymphatic fluid, and helps to release toxins and tension from the muscles. On a subtler level, treatments connect with the body’s inherent ability for self healing and regeneration.
treatment packages
$100 | 60 minute shiatsu treatment

Each treatment includes an individual consultation to tailor the treatment to meet your needs, and seasonal organic herbal tea picked fresh from the garden.
Treatments are in a private light filled space, with only the chorus of kookaburras, frogs and rustling leaves.

In her treatments, Phuong has an intuitively firm but nourishing touch. She brings stillness, compassion and deeply listens to the body while maintaining a strong sense of grounding.
Phuong is a mother to a vibrant toddler, keen gardener, and aspiring herbalist.
