FAQs
-
Yes. All our fully qualified practitioners offer health fund rebates for remedial massage. Occasionally, a new practitioner may still be finalising their provider numbers; if so, this will be clearly noted in their bio.

Both use the same fine, sterile needles, but their purpose and approach differ.
Acupuncture is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and treats the whole person — balancing energy, supporting internal systems, and calming the nervous system.
Dry needling is a muscular technique used by bodyworkers to release tight bands or “trigger points” within the tissue. It’s typically used for pain relief and can feel more stimulating than acupuncture. -
Cupping uses suction to lift and release tight or stagnant areas in the muscles and fascia. It has both myofascial and traditional Chinese medicine roots.
You may feel a gentle pulling sensation during treatment, and circular marks can appear afterwards — these usually fade within 2–14 days. Some practitioners use traditional glass cups with flame, others use modern plastic versions. -
Yes, gentle movement is encouraged. Light activities like walking, gentle yoga, or stretching can help integrate your treatment. Avoid intense workouts or heavy lifting for 24 hours to allow your body and nervous system to fully respond to the session.
-
Relaxation massage is designed to calm the body and mind, using smooth, flowing strokes to ease tension and promote overall wellbeing.
Remedial massage is more targeted, using specific techniques to address pain, injury, and postural tension. Your therapist will tailor each session to your needs. -
Both are Hawaiian-inspired bodywork styles that use long, flowing strokes, rhythmic movement, and breath to promote deep relaxation.
Ka Huna (from Hawaii) often uses forearms and dynamic, dance-like movements that feel nurturing yet energising.
Lomi Lomi (from traditional Polynesian healing) has a slower, deeply meditative rhythm, encouraging emotional and energetic release. -
Yes. Our therapists are trained to support all stages of pregnancy. We have a custom pregnancy mat that attaches to the table, with a comfortable opening for the belly — allowing you to enjoy a face-down massage right up until full term.
Massage during the first trimester is safe, though it’s important to let your practitioner know so they can avoid any deep abdominal work and tailor the treatment appropriately. -
After your massage, your body continues to process and integrate the effects of the treatment. To support this:
Hydrate well: Drink plenty of water or warming herbal teas to help rehydrate tissues and assist your body in flushing out metabolic waste.
Apply heat: Warm showers, baths, or saunas can help continue the release of muscular tension and promote circulation.
Move gently: A light walk or gentle stretching keeps the body mobile, encourages blood flow, and helps maintain the benefits of your treatment.
Rest: Give your nervous system time to settle and integrate. Allow yourself to slow down for the rest of the day if possible.
