A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT OUR
STUDIO
"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"...
​
- Michael J W (Deep Tissue - 1.5hrs)
Most people come to me because something in the upper body has stopped negotiating. A jaw that refuses to settle. A neck that will not turn. Shoulders that lift without you noticing. A back that tightens the moment you slow down.
​
I am Carolyn. I specialise in the upper body. Head, neck, jaw, shoulders and back. This is the work I do every day.
​
My Signature Head Neck & Shoulders Massage and my TMJ Intra Oral Massage sit at the centre of my practice. These are the treatments I focus on, and they are why many clients come to me when nothing else has helped.
​
When your body needs more than focused upper body work, I also offer Deep Tissue Massage, Swedish Massage, Pregnancy Massage, Menopause Massage, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Hot Stones Therapy, Natural Facelift, Thai Foot Massage, Microneedling with Hyaluronic Acid and CBD Massage Oil.
​
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.
WHY CLIENTS COME HERE
​​​​
"I highly recommend Carolyn's massage! I had a full body massage focusing on shoulders, neck and also with Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ) intra-oral therapy. I had massages so many times in different places but this was the best! She found knots in my body very carefully, and has magic hands and elbows (i think!) to accurately focus on them to release..."

TMJ, head and neck focus
Much of my work supports jaw pain, clenching, headaches and neck restriction. Manual therapy around the jaw and neck has been shown in multiple clinical reviews to ease pain and improve movement for many people living with TMJ-related symptoms.
​
Therapeutic, not superficial
Firm, slow massage can help reduce tension, improve comfort and support mobility, especially for people dealing with long hours at a desk or ongoing stress.
​
Support through major life stages
Pregnancy, perimenopause and menopause can place pressure on joints, muscles, sleep and mood. Adjusted massage techniques can help you feel calmer and more physically supported during these times.
SOME OF OUR TREATMENTS
Signature Head Neck & Shoulders
Focused work across the scalp, jaw line, neck and shoulders. Helpful for headaches, screen strain and that heavy head feeling that builds through the week.
This is the routine people come back for when nothing else touches their upper body tension.
​
TMJ Intra Oral Therapy
Treatment for jaw pain, clenching, clicking, ear pressure, chewing fatigue and tension headaches.
I start with the full Signature Head Neck and Shoulders routine before moving to the jaw, temples and face.
Intra oral work is included when appropriate and always within your comfort level.
​
Deep Tissue Massage
Firm, deliberate work for long standing tightness across the back, hips and shoulders and the rest of your body.
The goal is relief, not force. You guide the pressure and I adapt to how your body responds.
​
Swedish Massage
A calm, lighter full body massage. Good for clients who want steady, gentle work without intensity.
Useful for stress, general stiffness and regular maintenance.
​
Pregnancy Massage
Safe and well supported massage from the second trimester.
Positioning and bolstering remove strain from your back, hips and shoulders.
More hands on and therapeutic than the usual light pregnancy routine.
​
Menopause Massage
Support for muscle tension, restless energy, disrupted sleep and the tired but wired feeling common in perimenopause and menopause.
Grounding, quiet and tailored to what you need that day.

I don't normally leave reviews but I had such a wonderful experience of a unique massage from Carolyn, I think everyone should book one and experience it for themselves. Her professionalism was amazing not to mention her kindness, caring, healing and spiritual way. I booked in for a 90 minute Swedish Massage but she added some hot stones, foot bathing and heat therapy also. I felt her therapy was healing and she knew exactly where and how to place her hands on my body. I could not leave without booking my next one as I was afraid she would not be able to fit me in. Fantastic.
