How It All Began

I’ve always loved receiving massages—but finding the right therapist was a struggle. Most claimed to tailor treatments, but few truly listened. Instead, they relied on their expertise and assumed they knew best. The result? I often left feeling the same—or worse, with new aches I didn’t have before.

On the flip side, I’d always enjoyed giving massages to friends and family. Eight years ago, while still working in an office, I trained as a professional therapist, launched Khoo Massage Therapies, and never looked back.

My goal was simple: to offer the kind of massage experience I had always searched for. One where clients have a say, where their time and money go into the treatment—not into lengthy consultations or pointless posture assessments when all they want is relief from stubborn tension.

 

My Approach

Finding the right therapist is personal. Some people prefer a spiritual approach with energy work and crystals. Others look for a clinical, sports-therapy focus.

I sit somewhere in between.

With years of piano playing behind me, my massage style is rhythmic and expressive, flowing with carefully curated music. That same musical training has given me an intuitive ability to adapt pressure—strong when needed, gentle when necessary—without sacrificing effectiveness or relaxation.

Every treatment I offer has been shaped by my own journey of trial, error, research, and a relentless drive to improve well-being.

My Treatments​

​

Deep Tissue 

I spent years searching for a therapist who could deliver a strong, purposeful, yet relaxing deep tissue massage. I never found one—so I became one. I quickly discovered I had the intuition, strength, and calm energy to offer something different; deep tissue treatment that doesn’t just work—it feels good too.

 

Signature Head, Neck, Shoulder & Back 

I’ve always carried tension in these areas, but most therapists either lacked the strength or simply rolled over knots without actually working through them. My signature treatment is designed to target problem areas with precision.

By working slowly and deeply, I reduce knots instead of just gliding over them. The pressure is adjusted to match each client’s comfort level, making the experience both effective and therapeutic.

 

Pregnancy Massage 

When I was pregnant nearly 20 years ago, I struggled to find a therapist who would massage me rather than just lightly stroke my skin. After my training, I developed a more therapeutic approach—one that feels just as effective as a standard massage, with adjustments made for safety.

 

TMJ Treatment 

I personally suffer from TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction), migraines, tinnitus, and chronic neck/shoulder tension. After years of self-treatment, I developed effective techniques that have helped countless clients dealing with the same issues. If you grind your teeth, clench your jaw, or wake up with headaches, this is for you.

 

Menopause Massage 

Currently navigating peri/menopause myself, I’ve researched and trained in techniques to ease symptoms and improve well-being. This treatment supports women through hormonal changes with a focus on relaxation, circulation, and tension relief.

 

Microneedling

This wasn’t something I ever expected to offer, but after training, I was surprised by how much I rated it. My skincare routine has always been simple—face soap, moisturiser, done. But as I near 50 and notice the changes in my skin due to hormonal shifts, microneedling has been a game-changer.

Despite my low pain tolerance, I found the treatment surprisingly comfortable, with immediate results. The photo on the left is undoctored; me without make-up immediately after microneedling.

 

Vitamin Injections – Coming March/April 2025

Post-Covid, my immune system and gut health took a hit. Even with supplements, I wasn’t convinced my body was absorbing nutrients properly. Vitamin injections bypass the digestive system, delivering nutrients straight into the bloodstream with effects lasting 2–3 weeks. After seeing the benefits firsthand, I knew this was something I wanted to offer.
