This is your invitation ... to stop, be present & rest.

By choosing your own rest and self care, you are putting yourself and your well-being first, so that you can not only feel better, but also spread that sense of well-being out to your family, workplace and community. xx

I offer women in Adelaide rest-based sessions focused on holding a safe space for you to reach deep rest. 

My intention is for you to rest, reset, and balance.

​My offerings have been designed as a time for recovery. To regroup. To just stop and 'be' before you return to your personal life.

​They can't change the external factors that create your stress, tension, anxiety, pain, or overwhelm, but they can slowly help you shift your focus, giving your body (and yourself) a chance to rest and reset.

I invite you to join me.

hot stone massage

  • These sessions are more than 'just' a massage. They are a chance to really stop, be present, and rest.

    Let go of stress and tension and enjoy a custom session designed to bring your whole being into a calm state of ease.

    Feel deeply relaxed yet energised with this calming & comforting treatment.

    Based on your wants and needs, together we will specifically craft a session that is perfect for you on the day (and this can change each session).

    Enjoy the long flowing strokes of a custom deep relaxation hot stone massage designed for ultimate deep relaxation and tension relief, creating space within your body, helping you feel grounded and reconnected with your body and mind.

    Hot stone massage precautions

    While hot stone massage can be beneficial for many, certain conditions require caution or contraindicate its use entirely. This is why I do a thorough intake before your first session.

    Those with high blood pressure, diabetes, or circulatory issues should consult their healthcare provider before receiving treatment, as the heat can affect blood flow and pressure.

    Women with skin conditions such as sunburn, open wounds, or recent scar tissue should avoid direct stone placement on affected areas.

    Certain medications, particularly those that affect sensation or blood thinners, may increase the risk of burns or bruising.

    Additionally, women undergoing cancer treatment, especially radiation or chemotherapy, should seek medical clearance before receiving a hot stone massage.

    I provide massage to women throughout their pregnancy. In late pregnancy, it's often more comfortable to do the session lying on your side with plenty of pillow support. I modify the massage so that the heat is dialed down. Several pressure points and certain essential oils are contraindicated in pregnancy, so these are avoided.

  • 60 minutes | $110
    75 minutes | $130
    90 minutes | $150

  • Prior to getting you on the table, I will go through the health history form with you. We will discuss your goals (if any) for the session and what is going on with your body and in your life. From this I will tailor a treatment for you.

    From there, you’ll be guided through:

    • A custom hot stone massage with long, flowing strokes designed to ease tension and invite deep relaxation.

    I love to help clients relax and melt into my table as they let their body go. I am passionate about my work and about helping to facilitate relaxation and wellbeing.

    I encourage you to leave the outside world at the door so that you can fully relax.

    At all times the session is about you and what you need.

    A few things to think about before coming to your session:

    How does your body feel?
    Do any areas of your body need extra attention and what is going on in those areas?
    Is there anything going on in your life that you feel is affecting your body?
    What are your goals for the session? Relaxation, time out, space, escape, healing ... something specific? ... nothing in particular?

    It is best not to eat right before a treatment. Try not to eat anything really heavy 1-2 hours before.

    After the session there will be a few minutes to talk. If you have any questions, I encourage you to ask them.

    It is recommended that you stay well hydrated after a treatment.

    Do not plan any intense physical activity after a treatment; give your body at least a few hours to relax and allow your body to just 'be'.

    This is your invitation to rest.

    Each immersion is thoughtfully crafted to align with your unique intentions.

    Whether you seek…
    - rest and relaxation
    - healing
    - a reset
    - deep support and care
    - a gentle closing of one chapter to embrace the next
    - a celebration

    Rooted in rest, each ritual allows beautiful transformations to naturally unfold, leaving you feeling deeply refreshed and renewed.

  • 75 minutes | $110

  • You’ll be invited to rest fully on a cosy massage table, wrapped in soft blankets and supported by pillows, with the gentle glow of candlelight and the option of an eye mask to help your body surrender into comfort and calm.

    We’ll begin by gently exploring your intentions for the session. From there, I’ll guide you through a soothing meditation that weaves together breathwork, body awareness, visualisation, sound healing, and sensory relaxation.

    Throughout the session, you’ll be held in a nurturing space of stillness and care, with calming sounds, intuitive touch, and a sense of quiet support that invites deep rest.

    You’ll receive relaxing massage for the feet, hands, face, and scalp: each touch intended to help your body soften, unwind, and restore its natural rhythm.

    At the close of our time together, we’ll share a warm cup of tea, creating space for grounding, reflection, or simply being present with whatever has surfaced.

    This is a deeply personalised experience - crafted around your unique needs and what you’re carrying in the moment. Whether you’re moving through a life transition, caregiving for others, feeling the weight of fatigue, or simply craving a moment of pause, you’ll leave feeling gently held, seen, and replenished.

    No prior experience with meditation or yoga is necessary: just bring yourself, exactly as you are.

    You will by lying down on your back for the session.

stones & sounds

  • These sessions are so much more than a massage.

    They are a chance to truly pause, let go, and rest.

    Each experience is designed to bring your whole being into a state of calm ease; leaving you relaxed, reconnected, and gently energised.

    Together, we’ll create a session that meets you exactly where you are. This may look different each time, depending on your needs in the moment. You’ll be invited to receive the soothing flow of a custom hot stone massage plus sound healing, designed for deep relaxation, grounding, and releasing stored tension.

  • 75 minutes | $110

  • Your session begins with time to settle comfortably on the massage table.

    We’ll take a moment to connect and clarify your intentions for the session. From there, you’ll be guided through:

    • A 60-minute custom hot stone massage with long, flowing strokes designed to ease tension and invite deep relaxation.

    • A 15-minute sound healing immersion to further calm your nervous system and bring balance to your whole being.

    With nurturing support, soothing sounds, and calming touch, you’ll be guided into a state of profound rest and ease.

    Whether you are seeking relief from fatigue, a pause during caregiving or parenting, gentle support during change, or simply a moment of pure self-care, you’ll leave feeling deeply held, rejuvenated, and more present within yourself.
