FAQ - Holistic Massage & Facial Treatments in Healesville

1

What should I expect during my first visit?

Your session begins with a short conversation about how you are feeling and what you would like support with. Treatments are always tailored to your needs on the day and provided in a calm, private environment where you can simply relax and unwind.

2

What if I’m not sure which treatment to choose?

That’s completely fine. You can simply book a session length and we can decide together which treatment will be most beneficial for you on the day.

3

What is the difference between holistic massage and remedial massage?

Holistic massage focuses on supporting the whole person - body, mind and nervous system. The treatment is gentle, intuitive and designed to help the body relax, release tension and restore balance.
Remedial massage is more clinically focused and often targets specific injuries, muscle tightness or areas of pain. It may involve deeper pressure and structured techniques to address particular physical concerns.
In my practice, I often blend both approaches. Some clients prefer a more therapeutic treatment for muscle tension, while others benefit from a slower, nurturing session that supports deep relaxation and overall wellbeing.

4

What makes holistic massage different from spa massage?

In my practice, holistic massage focuses on supporting the whole person -  body, mind and nervous system. Each treatment is tailored to how you are feeling on the day, whether that is muscle tension, stress, headaches, or simply needing time to relax.
Spa massage is often designed as a general relaxation experience. Holistic massage, on the other hand, allows more space to work gently with the body and adjust the treatment to what you need.
Some women prefer a quieter, more personalised experience rather than a busy spa environment. My treatment space in Healesville is designed to be calm and private so you can fully relax and restore.

Who are your treatments for?

What treatment is suitable for women over 70?

I often tailor treatments for mature women to ensure they feel safe, comfortable and well supported during the session.
My Senior Serenity treatment is designed especially for older clients. The session is gentle and adapted to each person’s needs, and clients remain comfortably clothed while relaxing during the treatment.
Gentle massage and trigger point therapy may help support relaxation and ease common concerns such as headaches, anxiety, tiredness, body aches, or difficulty sleeping.
Many women find these sessions calming and nurturing, offering a quiet space to rest and restore.

15

Is it okay to book a massage if I feel very stressed or overwhelmed?

Yes, absolutely.
Many women visit when they are feeling stressed, emotionally tired, or simply needing some quiet time to themselves. Massage can help the body slow down and allow the nervous system to settle.
You don’t need to feel a certain way before booking. Whether you are experiencing stress, headaches, muscle tension, or simply feeling run down, the session can be adapted gently to support how you are feeling that day.
My treatment space in Healesville is designed to be calm and private, allowing you to rest and restore at your own pace.

15

How often should you get a massage for stress or tension?

How often you receive massage depends on your body, lifestyle and the level of tension or stress you are experiencing.
Some people benefit from a treatment every 2–4 weeks to help manage ongoing stress, muscle tension or headaches. Others may visit occasionally when they feel their body needs support or when life feels particularly busy.
Regular massage can help the body relax more easily, support circulation and encourage the nervous system to settle. Even occasional sessions can make a meaningful difference in helping you feel more balanced and restored.
Listening to your body is often the best guide.
