Being a Massage Therapist can be tough!
Especially when your hands are your tools of trade...
Why did I develop RemStone Therapy® ?
I'm an Aussie, tenacious and resilient...
But did you know that 80% of Massage Therapists will have an injury within 2 years of graduating? And so often the same dysfunction they treat their customers for!
I know, because I almost lost my career to injury back in 2004.
Instead of giving up, I turned to stones and innovated. What started as a way to save my wrists became a whole new way of working - better for me, and even better for clients (no pokey elbows, no painful pressure, just powerful results).
Word spread, and other therapists wanted to learn. I discovered the S.M.A.R.T system - the heart of RemStone Therapy® to help my wrists, gain better results, and keep me in a career I love. And as they say, the rest is history...that’s how RemStone Therapy® was born — now a trademarked, accredited modality available online to be learnt anywhere, anytime, worldwide.
Thanks to stones, I’ve been thriving in massage for over 20 years, and I use them both in Winter and Summer - they give a much better massage and save my thumbs! Today, you’ll find me in my clinic offering RemStone Therapy® and SpaStone Massage to clients at Saratoga Remedial Massage on the Central Coast, NSW.
And in my spare time, apart from boating our lovely Brisbane Waters and caravanning on off-grid getaways, I'm passionately helping fellow therapists learn how to save their wrists & thumbs, get better results, and last longer in a career they love. Just like me.
So! Exciting stuff ahead....In 2026, I plan to take my coaching as The Stone Massage Coach up a notch with Live Events, presenting stone-to-body workshops at selected locations around Australia.
Please join me.
Hope to see you soon!
