Preconception Support
Preconception support pathways are customised for women who are actively TTC (trying to conceive) or planning to get ready to TTC either naturally or by assisted fertility methods.
This is a three month (or 3 cycle) preparation timeframe loosely customised around the 90 day maturation cycle for eggs to be ready for ovulation.
This support consists of a range of treatments from fertility massage, womb massage, lymphatic drainage, womb steams & BMT whilst being integrated into a nurturing plan around your cycle.
You’ll also go home from your sessions with herbs for womb steams and castor oil packs to stay connected with the journey in between treatments. These rituals boost the outcomes and support you as you try to find a level of wellness prior to commencing the journey to conception.
This is a perfect treatment option for women who are taking a break from IVF, living with endometriosis, planning to start a family in the future or women who have experienced loss on their fertility journey.

In-Home Postnatal Care Services (Confinement)
In the past, a community would come together to support new mothers. Now we live away from our villages (and families) and culturally we don’t offer many options for women’s needs after childbirth. Sadly, many new mothers feel isolated, overwhelmed, and exhausted. Often these feelings are experienced with subsequent deliveries and not just first time mothers, it's often very normal for these feelings to present postnatally with the arrival of a second or third baby (particularly where there has been a history of PND) . This is all changing but very slowly (too slowly).
A typical 5-day package looks a little like this (please keep in mind that the care plans are customised around what is hapenning for the new Mum):
- 2 hours per day/per visit are allocated on average
- 5 x postpartum massages, full body
- 5 x postpartum abdominal massages
- 5 x handmade belly mask application
- 2 x womb/yoni steams
- homemade/organic lactation cookies
- broth and/or fresh juice provided dailyAn in-home chat prior to delivery is standard, where all the details can be discussed and plans oan be customised. This offering
needs to be booked in advance where possible.
Confinement Packages available:
5 Day care option: $1000AUD
10 Day care option: $1750AUD
15 Day care option: $2250 AUDFor more details regarding these treatment package inclusions refer to booking information x

IVF Support
This wonderful treatment is a fertility focused massage that is customised for a woman either preparing for IVF or has already commenced her IVF journey.
Women need nurturing during this time! Utilising a blend of techniques developed from training with Arvigo, fertility/pregnancy specialists, this massage supports and promotes blood flow to the uterus and reproductive system.
The lymphatic system also needs support and relief while the body processes drug protocols that it isn't used to and this can sometimes mean (over time) that women will require support for different forms of congestion & bloating within the body.
This treatment concludes with a Womb Steam, an ancient (yet still popular) ritual that is a nurturing and potent treatment to reinforce everything that we try to achieve during the massage.

Postpartum Support
Postpartum Support Massage is where almost every technique and massage care option described in previous massage treatments can come together. I treat the postpartum or postnatal journey as the Fourth Trimester, an essential inclusion to any Pregnancy.
This is an individually customised, nurturing and nourishing treatment that helps to support a woman’s body as she settles into the newness of postnatal change and the start of her motherhood journey.
For regular clients, there will be herb packs to take home and use for restorative womb steams.
This treatment is a wonderful gift for a loved one or friend who needs some support during those first few months.

Bioelectric Meridian Massage Therapy
Bioelectric Meridian Therapy (or Bioelectric Massage) is a gentle, non-invasive, restorative therapy that provides incredible results, naturally.
Combining the effects of massage, acupuncture, cupping and other natural modalities this treatment recharges your body’s natural energy and clears your main meridian lines to allow significantly increased circulation and blood flow throughout your body.
It is so powerful that it creates a detoxing effect – restoring balance in your body’s natural pH level and promoting the body’s ability to self-heal.
Through massage, a low electrical current is transferred into your body from the bioelectric device and we’re able to recharge your body’s natural bioelectricity and gradually support your journey to optimal health from the muscular level to your individual nerves, cells and organs.

60 minutes

Womb Steams - Yoni Steams (aka Peristeams)
These ancient, potent and nurturing treatments nourish and nurture all women!
Specifically, they are a very effective form of support for women living with Endometriosis, PCOS and other challenges to their fertility and wellness including postpartum.
If you’re going through IVF, this can be a supportive, nurturing treatment for women preparing for an embryo transfer. A steam is recommended as close to a transfer as possible and may assist with - increased cervical mucous, a decrease in discomfort during the transfer procedure, an increased blood flow for the uterus and pelvic bowl/girdle, an increased sense of relaxation as well as decreased tension throughout the abdominal cavity.
Ahead of booking in for this treatment, please reach out to have a quick chat as timing these steams within your cycle is essential for successful results.
** Please Note: Bring along a pair of socks with you to the treatment to maintain warmth in the body (very important at all times).
Treatment time
45 minutes
Please keep in mind, when booking, that I’m very happy to chat about any questions you may have. Every woman is different, and every woman’s cycle is different (that’s how we are and it’s divinely so).
We tend to forget this about ourselves!
