Nastassja is a qualified and experienced remedial massage therapist, with a passion for helping people to live their best lives. Completing her studies in Melbourne at the Australian College of Fitness and Bodywork, she is passionate about understanding your unique health profile and tailoring sessions to suit your individual preferences and goals. Health is not simply the absence of pain or disease, but a state of complete well-being from which we can experience thriving and maximum enjoyment of life. With this in mind, Nastassja has a holistic approach to massage therapy. Harmonise Bodyworks treatments aim to provide symptom relief, prevent future injury and facilitate relaxation. To resolve musculoskeletal issues at their root cause, treatments are planned with optimal posture in mind; addressing any underlying dysfunction with corrective exercise and lifestyle changes. Nastassja works with a reverence for the innate wisdom of the human body and a fascination for the relationship between mind, body, and spirit. Her treatments interlace Remedial, Swedish, and Lomi Lomi techniques with mindfulness principles to facilitate optimal healing and alignment. Sessions are designed with careful consideration for the unique needs and preferences of each individual including any psychosocial factors. Her treatments are both solution-focused and aimed at facilitating a state of relaxation in which healing is optimised.

Over the 30 years I have been working, I have developed a blend of massage types including Swedish and Sports. I believe this reduces pain and discomfort during a massage, while still allowing an effective amount of work to be done. By starting off with Swedish to relax the person and warm up the muscles, tightness and knotting (problem areas) can be found easier. When too strong a massage is used straight off, the muscles contract to protect themselves and the painful knots within. Once the muscles soften up (with the use of heat packs as well) more intense work can be done with less pain and bruising. I like my clients to give me feedback about my pressure throughout the massage, this can prevent (to an extent) after-massage pain. Throughout the massage, I regularly go back to Swedish and draining technique, to ensure the person is as relaxed as possible and lactic acid is continually drained away. I'm also fully qualified in skin care, nutrition, iridology, stretching techniques and injury management. I don't mind discussing problems and will give helpful advice freely while massaging. I work with reduced prices and discounts for people who come regularly. $10 off introductory offer - first time massages $60 for 1 hr $90 for 1.5 hours $5 discount for regular clients (Weekly or fortnightly)
