Booking & Clinic
Where and when can I book a session?
I am in clinic every Wednesday at Skin Renaissance (front cottage), 394 Main Rd, Emerald VIC 3782. You can book clinic appointments directly through the online calendar.
Do you offer mobile massage?
Yes, mobile massage is available on request only. Please email ease.to.movement@gmail.com or text 0409 250 498 with your suburb and preferred times.
Do I need to provide anything for a mobile visit?
No. I bring the massage table, towels, linen, oils and music. You just need a clear floor space of about 2 × 2.5 metres and somewhere I can wash my hands.
What areas do you cover for mobile visits?
Emerald and the Dandenong Ranges, foothills, Casey and Cardinia. Other locations on request with a travel fee.
Can I book for someone else, or for two people?
Yes to both. For mobile visits, book back-to-back sessions for two people; I bring one table and treat one person at a time.
What if I need to cancel?
Reschedule or cancel through the link in your booking confirmation. Please give at least 24 hours' notice where you can.
Treatment
What's the difference between remedial and relaxation massage?
Remedial massage starts with an assessment and treats a specific problem — pain, injury, restriction — with targeted techniques. Relaxation massage is slower, full-body work whose goal is to settle your nervous system. Remedial is claimable on most health funds; relaxation generally isn't.
How often should I get a remedial massage?
For an active problem, weekly or fortnightly for three to four sessions, then spacing out. For maintenance, every four to six weeks is typical. I'll give you an honest recommendation after the first session.
Will it hurt?
Deep work can be intense but should never make you brace or hold your breath. I work to the edge of useful pressure and adjust to your feedback.
I'm hypermobile. Is massage safe for me?
Yes, with the right approach — and I'm hypermobile myself. For hypermobile bodies I focus on releasing overworked muscles and building stability, rather than pushing for more range.
Can I be treated if I'm pregnant?
Please mention it when you book so I can confirm what's appropriate for your stage and set the table up accordingly.
Payment and rebates
Can I claim on my private health fund?
Remedial and sports massage are claimable on most Australian extras cover. I give you a receipt on the day and you claim through your fund's app or website. Relaxation massage and Pilates are generally not claimable.
Is travel included in the price?
Within my listed local areas, yes — no extra charge. For other locations, ask when you book and I'll quote a small travel fee.
How do I pay?
Online when you book, through the secure booking page.
Do you sell gift vouchers?
Yes — any service or dollar amount. See the gift vouchers page.
