Hi, I’m Kelly.
My mission is to learn touch from as many traditions as I can get my hands on, and bring all of them you my community.
Every session is shaped around you. Some lean toward flowing and intuitive: Lomi Lomi style strokes, dynamic passive stretches, deep broad pressure along the body’s lines and ZenThai Shiatsu work along the meridians. Others take a remedial lens, with PNF stretching and trigger point therapy for stubborn problem areas. Plenty blend both.
On the table, I bring strength and a grounded, steady presence. I listen closely, holding you safe while taking your body somewhere deeper, so old patterns of holding can soften and let go. There’s strength in letting go.
Before and during your session, I’ll check in about any conditions, pain and pressure. You’re in charge of your body the whole way through, and you can change your mind at any moment.
I discovered massage in my first year of naturopathy study… a massage unit stopped me in my tracks, and I’ve been chasing bodywork ever since. So far that’s taken me through Polynesian Lomi Lomi and ZenThai Shiatsu, a blend of Chinese medicine elements theory, cupping, moxibustion and Thai massage, alongside my advanced remedial massage studies. Along the way, I’ve come to one firm belief: across every culture and century, people have needed touch, and massage is one of the oldest ways we look after each other.
Outside the clinic, I work with my tribe of ZenThai therapists at events around Victoria. I also mentor with a herbalist and make herbal preparations for a community herbal medicine project, which keeps me in awe of how much we and the natural world give each other.
