About our team
Bodyworks is a place for deepening your connection with your body. With a focus on women+ we offer massage therapy, experiential workshops, internal pelvic release work, and pregnancy and postpartum body care.
Drawing upon multiple disciplines and modalities, our approach combines massage therapy with movement, education, breath awareness, and space to discover where you are at and what you need.
Our offerings support women+ through all stages of life: through times of stress; while healing from trauma or illness; during conception, pregnancy and post-birth; and for everyday health and wellbeing.
Why we believe in Bodyworks
We believe in the exponential impact of care, body literacy, and empowerment for women+. We know that by providing women+ with a space for connection, care, and community, we are contributing to the protection and promotion of long-term wellbeing. We know this impact ripples out beyond the individual to their family and friends too.
We honour the wellbeing of women+ as the cornerstone of our collective health.
Please know that we specialise in women’s health and female bodies, and it is our hope that the spectrum of women+ and non-binary people feel welcome at Bodyworks.
We love and marvel at the brilliance of all bodies, and aim to provide accessible, transformative, and compassionate care to people of all genders and identities who feel called to receive our bodywork.
We acknowledge the limitations of language and labels and strive for this site and our spaces to feel inclusive to all those who resonate with and seek our services. We welcome feedback on how to grow and improve in our accessibility and inclusivity efforts.
It is a joy to share how essential bodywork is for overall health and wellbeing. I am especially passionate about body and birth literacy, and am particularly interested in working with menstrual and hormonal health, and how the challenges of our physical body impact flow, our cycles, and our emotional, social, and mental health.
My style of bodywork is infused with techniques of deep tissue, remedial massage, and bowen therapy, as well as more traditional eastern practices of ayurvedic abhyanga and thai massage. I respond to the existing tensions and the present experience within your body – each treatment is tailored to your body in the moment, to unravel what is needed to release, restore, and integrate your whole body system.
My approach is detailed and comprehensive, at times working deeply and intensely, moving swiftly with the breath, and sometimes moving slowly with a tender touch. I work intuitively to assist my clients in releasing physical and emotional stagnancy, tension, and stress, creating more space for regulation, recovery, and rest.
My intention is to support the body's innate healing intelligence. I aspire to understand your challenges, needs, and desires through viewing your emotional state and physical symptoms as the body’s way to communicate where balance needs restoring.
I began massaging from my private studio in 2018, which has recently grown and evolved into Bodyworks in 2024. I founded Bodyworks as an expression of my admiration of the human body. I am dedicated to educating people on the profound role the body plays in the health of the mind, community, and even our connection to the natural environment.
It is a joy to share how essential bodywork is for overall health and wellbeing, especially when implemented as a regular, preventative practice. I am especially passionate about women’s health, bodies, and the challenges we commonly share. I am particularly interested in working with menstrual and hormonal health, and how the challenges of our physical body impact flow, our cycles, and our emotional, social, and mental health.
I am a qualified massage therapist and bowen therapy practitioner. Following my deep respect and admiration for female bodies and the birth space, I have also studied internal pelvic release work with Fiona Hallinan and Jenny Blyth, advanced urogenital manipulation with osteopath Nathalie Lejuenue, and I am close to completing my midwifery studies at ACU Australian Catholic University.
I specialise in supporting women+ to connect with some of the most intimate and powerful parts of their body. I am passionate about pelvic wellness and reducing birth trauma. It is an honour to sit with and witness women through their experience.
I believe that bodywork is not just a practice or a treatment, but it can be a life-changing experience that supports women to reconnect with some of the deepest parts of themselves.

I came across this intimate and powerful bodywork after I had birthed my child and was having difficulty connecting back to my body. I lacked confidence and had a lot of fear around the changes my body had gone through. My episiotomy scar scared me, and I had fear around the discomfort and the new sensations I might feel during intimacy, let alone what my body’s abilities were if I were to ever birth again.
My profound experience with IPRW led me to want to know more so I could share with other women+. I was completely baffled as to why I had never heard of this profound type of bodywork before, and why it wasn’t widely accessible knowledge.
I am honoured to be navigating this space, and I will forever be a student amongst the infinite wisdom the pelvis holds. I am committed to the service of women+, offering them the possibility of reclamation, liberation, and change while supporting and holding them in what arises on their journey.
I am grateful to have been trained by Fiona Hallinan and Jenny Blyth in their 2022 IPRW mentorship. I have also studied to be a birth attendant with Rhea Dhempsey in 2023, and as the year came to a close, I completed advanced urogenital manipulation with osteopath Nathalie Lejuenue.
I’m deeply curious about physical discomfort and what it’s trying to communicate to us. By listening to the body’s story, we can understand how our emotional, mental, and physical states are all interconnected, each influencing the other.
Life is shaped by how we interact with the world, and discomfort often arises when we resist its natural flow. When we take a step back from our usual patterns and tune into the body, it has the power to regenerate from a place of stillness, shifting old habits and opening us up to a more fluid way of moving through life.

My goal is to move away from the idea of needing external fixes and instead empower you to trust your intuition and reconnect with your body. There’s a profound difference between simply not being sick and truly being well—and this deeper awareness is key to a more balanced and vibrant life.
My bodywork journey began with myotherapy at RMIT and the Southern School of Natural Therapies, where I focused on the connective tissue within the musculoskeletal system. Over time, I became fascinated by the nervous system—how it shapes our perception of the body and plays a role in our overall well-being. This curiosity led me to explore deeper into Eastern practices. I’ve studied Hatha yoga in India, Visceral Manipulation Abdomen 1 at the Barral Institute, and Urogenital Manipulation with Nathalie Lejeune. I’m currently immersed in Zen Shiatsu studies at the Australian Shiatsu College.
Ultimately, what I’ve learned is that you are the best practitioner of your body. You already know what you need; my role is simply to support you and create space for you to unfold into your authentic self. Beneath it all lies relaxation (a regulated nervous system). What we need to do is less—less thinking, less reacting, less pushing and pulling. In that stillness, we find peace. Through touch, my treatment invites awareness into the body, helping you recognize where you need to soften.
