your Remedial Massage Therapist in Brisbane!
Hey there! I’m Roxy! Thank you for making time to read my story! I hope it inspires you to find your own path to moving better in the long run.
How it all started: I decided to join a gym
My fitness journey started at 26 when I was diagnosed with IBS. I came to fitness a bit later than most, but trust me—it’s never too late! I owe a lot to my GP, who suggested I join a gym. At the time, I was surprised because I thought gyms were just for bigger people. Growing up, I was pretty skinny and sedentary, and the beauty standards were all about being skinny (think Kate Moss vibes).
I kicked things off with boxing, which sparked my fascination with the body’s ability to heal and recover. I took things to the next level and stepped into the boxing ring for 25 fights in Italy, won 24 of them and only lost once, finishing second at nationals. It was incredible to see just how much my small 55kg body could accomplish! That fascination led me to a career focused on physical health and helping the body do what it naturally does best.
How it progressed: from finance in Milan, Italy to Remedial Massage in Brisbane, Australia
When I was 30, I moved to Australia on a whim, no plans, and ended up in a tiny town in WA with just a gym to keep me busy. I had no clue how to use the equipment or lift weights, so I grabbed the Bikini Body guide by Kayla Itsines and started watching YouTube videos. Soon, I decided to move to Sydney and become a Personal Trainer to learn how to lift safely, and why not teach others while I’m at it?
After completing my Sports and Recreation Diploma, I began my career as a Personal Trainer and Boxing Coach in Brisbane. But I saw a gap in the fitness world: people were getting injured doing simple things like putting on shoes! So, I dove into Remedial Massage Therapy to better understand body mechanics and help people recover from injuries. I would have never imagined life would take me to being a Remedial Massage Therapist in Brisbane!
How it is going: I opened my own clinic and I get to help others move better every day using Remedial Massage
By combining my fitness knowledge and massage skills, I can dig deeper into the root causes of my clients’ musculoskeletal issues and help them recover more effectively. Whether it’s an athlete wanting to boost performance or someone rehabbing an injury, I tailor my treatments to fit their needs.
What makes me different in the Remedial Massage industry: I know exactly how it feels to be in pain and not know where to start to feel better
At my remedial massage clinic, an empathetic and compassionate approach is at the core of every treatment. Each client’s unique goals and concerns are carefully listened to, ensuring personalized care that targets their specific needs. I customise exercise programs and lifestyle advice to complement the massages, providing lasting benefits and improving overall well-being.
Staying active and committed to fitness allows me to lead by example, demonstrating the importance of a healthy lifestyle. I get regular massages to help me , reduce stress, and improve circulation, ensuring I’m always at my best for both myself and my clients.
I use a variety of proven techniques, including deep tissue, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, dry needling, and cupping to address musculoskeletal issues, helping clients recover faster and achieve optimal results. I’m all about finding those tight muscles and imbalances and using the right method to restore mobility and promote relaxation. I also incorporate stretching and active release techniques into my treatments.
My commitment to myself and to you as a client:
I’m always learning and keeping up with the latest research to refine my skills. I attend regular seminars to expand my knowledge, ensuring I provide the most effective, evidence-based treatments for my client’s recovery and well-being.
Above all, I value building trust and connection with my clients. I believe a strong therapist-client relationship is key to achieving the best results, so I always prioritize open communication and collaboration throughout our sessions.
With my knowledge, care, and commitment, I’m dedicated to helping my clients hit their health and wellness goals, one massage at a time!
