In home massage is a service with many advantages for the therapist as well as the clients.
A BIG thank you to all of my clients from whom I learn new things from every single day. The best part of my job is sharing your unique experiences and hearing about your amazing life journies. You have taught me more about love, loss, pain, healing and the human spirit than any book I have ever read. I get to sample cooking from all over the world and listen to music from every corner of the globe. I can't wait for tomorrow's lessons to begin!

You know, it's the strangest thing...but my massage bag is a cat magnet.
I find whenever I go to the home of a cat owner to perform a massage you can almost always guarantee that their cat will jump into my empty canvas massage bag and curl up there quite happily. I usually have a hard time getting them out so I can zip up my massage bag!

Any cat behavioural experts out there that can shed some light on this for me?

Massage therapy compliments many other therapies and lifestyle activities and can be included easliy into a health regime or lifestyle change. If you are looking for a complete and balanced healthly option add massage therapy to your treatment regime and enjoy the results.

I treat many clients who are dealing with the stress of trying to conceive and have usually been advised by their GP or another health professional to try regular massage.

There is no scientific evidence that massage improves fertility because this is difficult to "measure" as most couples are involved in a variety of treatments at the same time. However studies have shown that massage can reduce stress and anxiety levels, increase circulation and this improved energy flow opens channels that may have previously been blocked.

Stress has been shown to interfere with getting pregnant for some couples, and it makes sense that reducing stress through massage could, theoretically, improve the odds of conceiving.

Hello to all you massage enthusiasts out there (you know who you are).

Since my last blog I have been busy locating to a new postcode. Relax Today is now servicing the Parramatta district and surrounds including, Wentworthville and the Hills districts.

I would like to thank all of my Fairfield/Liverpool clients who have shown me so much support over the last 12 months, I feel so blessed to get to work with such a great bunch of people.

I look forward to meeting more of the local residents of Parramatta and surrounding suburbs in the coming days.

Hi Everyone,

After just completing my instructors certification through IMIS, I just can't wait to share what I have learnt about baby massage with other parents as this information is so invaluable and worthwhile. As a parent myself, I have always loved massaging my own children and knowing that it helps them to grow into beautiful, healthy and well-adjusted human beings only makes the experience even more special because after all, what better gift can you give a child?

To those of you I have met  and to those of you that I am yet to meet I look forward to sharing with you all the joys and benefits of baby massage in 2011!

Research has shown that massage therapy can shift the EEG (electrical signals in the brain) of depressed mothers from patterns associated with depression. Another study concluded that mothers receiving massage were less depressed, less anxious, stress hormones were reduced and serotonin (feel good hormone) levels increased. Oxytocin levels are increased by massage also which will assist with breastfeeding and bonding of mother and infant.
