Special interests
Natalie has been a remedial massage therapist for 15 years. Her style is a combination of techniques that include deep tissue, trigger points and relaxation, which she tailors for the individual to relieve tension and address specific structural and pain issues.
A qualified naturopath, Natalie is also able to apply her extensive knowledge of herbs, nutrition and homoeopathy to enhance the healing process and improve stress tolerance.
Personal interests and philosophy
I was introduced to massage as part of my studies to become a naturopath. My massage teacher was an osteopath and her passion for healing through touch rubbed off on me. I started out doing warm up massages for her patients and have worked in clinics alongside chiropractors or osteopaths ever since. I find it fascinating that every body is different and there is always something new to learn.
My naturopathic training taught me that a balanced lifestyle is essential to health and wellbeing. To me this means quality food, with goodies in moderation, taking time out to spend with friends and family, and regular structural balancing to keep the body functioning at its optimal level.
