A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT OUR
STUDIO
I started Khoo Massage Therapies because I could not find massage that truly responded to what my body was holding. Sessions felt pleasant in the moment, but my jaw, neck and shoulders stayed just as uncomfortable afterwards. Everything I offer now is shaped by what I wish I had received.
I am Carolyn. I specialise in the upper body. Head, face, neck, jaw, shoulders and back.
My Signature Head Neck and Shoulders Massage and my TMJ Intra Oral Therapy sit at the centre of my practice. They grew out of years of living with TMJ and persistent upper body pain and wanting treatment that created real change, not just a temporary sense of calm.
I also support women through pregnancy and menopause because I have lived both. During my own pregnancy I could never find anyone who worked with real pressure where I needed it. Menopause brought its own mix of brain fog, irritability and joint aches. These experiences shape how I treat. I use focused pressure, TCM acupressure points and, when needed, microneedling that feels natural and effective for skin changes.
When your body needs wider support, I also offer Deep Tissue Massage, Swedish Massage, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Hot Stones Therapy and Thai Foot Massage.
Everything happens quietly in my studio near Victoria Park. Sessions are steady and considered. We follow what your body shows. No rushing. No pressure for the sake of it.
You leave feeling clearer, lighter and more comfortable in the places that carry the most tension.

- TMJ Intra Oral Therapy
I’ve had severe TMJ issues for over five years and have tried almost everything — meditation, muscle relaxants, physiotherapy, lifestyle changes and multiple splints. Nothing ever gave lasting relief. Working with Carolyn has been the first time I’ve felt real progress. Her intraoral TMJ work is exceptional, and she approaches the head, neck and upper back in a genuinely holistic way. She understands how everything connects and treats the whole system, not just the jaw. She’s incredibly skilled, friendly and makes you feel completely comfortable during what can be quite a specialised treatment. I walked out feeling lighter, looser and finally hopeful. Highly recommend for anyone struggling with TMJ or chronic tension.

- Pregnancy Massage
Carolyn is an incredible masseuse - I have felt so nurtured and cared for in all of my prenatal massage appointments, she still gives a really firm massage (unlike lots of others who seem to think pregnant women can only be stroked!) and I come away feeling a million times better. I just wish I could see her more often - she truly has magic hands and creates such a lovely environment. Plus she maintains the highest levels of Covid hygiene security I’ve seen, so it feels really relaxing and safe.

- Deep Tissue Massage
The massage was one of the best I've had. As someone with considerably tight shoulders and consistent body tension, I regularly have to ask for 'more pressure' in my massages. And to my surprise and absolute delight Carolyn was great with pressure and 'firmness' *which I rate as a BIG positive in any massage). The other big positive was Carolyn actually focused on the areas that were sore. So often the therapists asks 'whats sore, what do you want me to focus on?" and then just does whatever they want (haha, awkward pauce), but what was great was that she spent the time really focusing, relieving the pressure and working into the needed areas. Thank you. 5 stars, more if that was an option, she's worth the time and voyage out east.

- Couples Massage Tutorial
I brought my partner a couples massage tutorial for his birthday - but, in the end, it was very much a present to our relationship and us both. Carolyn's studio is inviting, inspiring and sets a deep grounding for a joyful and sincere session. Right from the start, we were learning - not just the practicalities of DIY massage but about the opportunity it offers to communicate better with each other. We left with some new skills - but, also, a new way to interact with, better understand and have fun with each other. Massage is such a wonderful way of surfacing and sharing the tensions we might not have realised we're holding onto - something that Carolyn very naturally brought awareness to. The techniques she taught us were simple, effective and very much adapted to our different physicalities. Oh, and it was so much fun too! We laughed. A lot. Would heartily recommend to every couple we know. Single? Take a friend! You won't regret it.
