I am committed to giving you high quality, soothing relief on those nagging aches & pains restoring muscle integrity and improving circulation for better movement and wellbeing.
Remedial Massage
Remedial massage is defined as being the systematic assessment and treatment of the muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissues of the body during times of pain and injury management. Its main intent is to assist the body to return to normal health after injury, illness or during times of discomfort, pain and rehabilitation.
My individual and unique technique is always adjusted to meet the clients comfort and tolerance levels, using different techniques which may include trigger point therapy and deep tissue manipulation. I may also use heat or cold therapy and topical applications of essential oils or magnesium.
I have been professionally trained and hold a Diploma in Remedial Massage. Remedial massage is performed by qualified professionals who have undergone extensive training and continue with post-graduate training on a regular basis, meeting the standards set by the professional associations and health industry.
It is important that you receive treatment from a trained professional, as an incorrect application could cause further muscle trauma or further injury.
I am a member of Massage & Myotherapy Australia, so you can be assured I have received quality training and adhere to the association’s Code of Conduct.
Remedial Massage is able to be claimed with your Private Health Fund depending on your individual health fund cover. Hicaps is available onsite for immediate claims.

Pregnancy massage is able to be claimed through your Health Fund, depending on your cover.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a specialised, gentle modality aimed at encouraging the removal of excess lymph fluid in the body. Excess fluid may be caused from damage to the lymphatic system from trauma, illness, surgery, radiation, removal of lymph nodes, immobility or cancer treatment. In some cases people may have been born with a condition that compromises the lymphatic system.
You don’t have to have an illness or condition to receive Manual Lymphatic Drainage as it is considered a preventative and a remedial application.
Diane is professionally trained in Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Decongestive Therapies. Diane is a fully accredited Lymphoedema Practitioner member with the Australasian Lymphology Association and listed on the National Lymphoedema Practitioners Register.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage may assist with the following conditions:
- Promoting healing by reducing inflammation
- Reducing swelling caused by excessive lymph fluids
- Supporting the immune system
- Aiding and stimulating circulation
- Lymphoedema
- Post-surgery swelling

Formal training in this specialised area provides the therapist with the expertise and awareness to modify and adjust the treatment, mindful of contraindications and comfort levels, delivering a safe, incredibly nurturing and effective treatment.
“Happiness is not a destination, but a journey. Living with cancer is both a destination and a journey. Medicine focuses on the quality of the destination and Oncology Massage focuses on the quality of the journey.”
