 Learn the S.M.A.R.T™ Way 

There’s a smarter way to do a firm massage — one that protects your body AND gets better results.

Welcome to the S.M.A.R.T™ Method: Stone Massage Adaptive Release Techniques

The system designed to help therapists:
✔ Save their wrists & thumbs
✔ Get better results for their clients
✔ Last longer in a career they love

Show Me How It Works

S.M.A.R.T™ = Stone Massage Adaptive Release Techniques

Not a style. Not a trend.

A structural strategy that works WITH the body — not against it.

Therapists stop guessing. Clients stop plateauing.
This is where remedial work becomes intelligent, not exhausting.

Why therapists burn out — and how S.M.A.R.T™ solves it.

Most massage therapists fall into ONE (or all) of these traps:

❌ Problem

1. They use thumbs for EVERYTHING

2. They push harder to ‘get results’

3. They put effort before longevity

⚠️ What it Causes

Early injury & strain

Sore & bruised cients

Burnout & career fatigue

Why I Created the S.M.A.R.T™ Method

In 2004, I sprained my wrist and thought my career was over.  Deep tissue work was leaving me exhausted — and no courses were helping therapists protect their own bodies.
So I started experimenting with stones — not as sweeping heat around the body like in the hot stone spas … but as therapeutic instruments, as tools to help relieve the strain on my and wrists. Over time, that became a system…
The techniques I developed eventually became a full training program called RemStone Therapy® — but I realised it was more than just techniques.
It wasn’t just what I was doing…it was how I was working that made all the difference.
That’s when I began refining the method behind the techniques — not just cataloguing them. A pattern emerged. A structure. A flow the body naturally responded to.
That framework became the S.M.A.R.T™ Method — not just a modality…but a way of thinking, a way of treating, and a way of protecting therapists while getting real results.
It has kept me working — pain-free — for over 20 years. And now, I teach it so other therapists can do the same.

What Makes S.M.A.R.T™ Different?

Other courses teach only techniques.
S.M.A.R.T™ coaches you in techniques but also strategy, longevity & structural logic.

✔ Built by a working therapist — not theory
✔ 100% Australian Made 🇦🇺 
✔ Designed to protect YOUR body
✔ Supports fascia, structure & neural flow
✔ Integrates with remedial — not replaces it
✔ Can be added to any massage style
✔ Proven over 20 years in clinic practice

S.M.A.R.T™ isn’t a niche modality - It’s a professional advantage.

HOW THE S.M.A.R.T™ METHOD WORKS

A step-by-step pathway to stronger hands, better results & a longer career.

Most therapists try to “learn more techniques”…
But S.M.A.R.T™ isn’t just about doing more —  it’s about working smarter. It's shifting a massage therapist to a S.M.A.R.T™ Practitioner.

That’s why the Method moves in four clear phases:

This IS for you if:

✔You love firm massage work — but not the pain it causes your body
✔ Your thumbs ache… your wrists protest… but your passion hasn’t gone anywhere
✔ You want to get better results without pushing harder
✔ You work in a clinic or spa — maybe even alone in a regional town — and need tools that actually help
✔ You want to understand the body better without needing a degree in anatomy
✔ You believe great therapists never stop learning
✔ You’d love to add something unique to your treatments — so clients choose YOU on purpose
✔ You’re ready to evolve — from therapist… to S.M.A.R.T™ Practitioner

This is NOT for you if…

✘ You believe pain = progress
✘ You’d rather push harder than work smarter
✘ You don’t want to explore fascia, flow, or structural logic
✘ You think your body will simply “hold up” without a plan
✘ You’re not open to mentorship, refinement, or guidance
✘ You’d rather keep doing what you’ve always done
