    Lara has treated countless tight and tired bodies since earning her Master of Osteopathic Medicine degree at Southern Cross University in 2014.

    Driven by an authentic ethos of honesty, empathy and Osteopathic best practice, Lara uses her advanced knowledge of the musculoskeletal system to treat a range of complaints, from lower back and neck pain to headaches, jaw issues, sciatic pain, tendonitis, elbow, hip, knee and foot issues. Following an initial consultation, treatment plans may include massage, gentle manipulation, stretching and dry-needling, releasing restricted joints and muscles to help you once again move with ease.

    Emma is a Remedial Massage Therapist with a deep appreciation for the body’s incredible ability to heal, adapt, and thrive. Her journey into bodywork began through her own passion for health and fitness, where she became inspired by the body’s resilience and potential.

    Specialising in treating and managing chronic pain symptoms, supporting sports performance & recovery, and facilitating Nervous System relaxation for optimal health and wellbeing; Emma takes a holistic approach to her treatments, viewing the body as a whole functional unit rather than isolated parts. Outside of the treatment room Emma's interests lie in strength training and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, appreciating the body's biomechanics and valuing the importance of recovery and nourishment for performance and longevity.

    Incorporating a range of tools and techniques (dry needling, cupping, lymphatic etc) to tailor individualised treatments, Emma's goal is to help her clients to move better and feel better so that you can stay active, do more of what you love and feel empowered in your own body and all that it is capable of.
