Find a treatment by symptom
Most people come to us because something hurts, won’t switch off, or won’t heal. Tell us where it hurts — we’ll point to the right treatment.
Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain affects up to 9 in 10 Australians at some point. Whether it’s desk posture, lifting, sport or stress, the right hands-on treatment can break the cycle.
See treatmentsNeck & Shoulder Pain
Tight traps, knotted shoulders and a sore neck are the modern price of phones, desks and stress. A targeted remedial session can release the trigger points causing pain.
See treatmentsHeadaches & Migraines
Most tension headaches start in tight neck, jaw and scalp muscles. Gentle, targeted massage can interrupt the pattern and reduce how often headaches happen.
See treatmentsSciatica
Sciatic pain travels — from glute to hamstring, sometimes all the way to the foot. Targeted soft-tissue work on the glutes, piriformis and lower back can take the pressure off the sciatic nerve.
See treatmentsSports Injuries & Recovery
Strains, sprains, shin splints and overuse injuries respond well to soft-tissue work. Get back to training sooner with assessment-based treatment.
See treatmentsStress & Anxiety
When the nervous system is stuck in “fight or flight”, the body holds tension everywhere. A slow, soothing massage helps switch the parasympathetic system back on.
See treatmentsPoor Sleep & Insomnia
Poor sleep and a busy nervous system feed each other. Regular massage can lower cortisol, lift serotonin and help you fall asleep — and stay asleep.
See treatmentsDesk-Job & Posture Pain
Hours at a desk pull the head forward, round the shoulders and shorten the hip flexors. Regular remedial work undoes the damage.
See treatmentsPregnancy Aches & Discomfort
A growing bump shifts your centre of gravity and stresses the lower back, hips and pelvis. Safe, supported pregnancy massage takes the pressure off.

I've had massages all over Australia and overseas, and I can honestly say Laura is the best practitioner I've found. By far. Whether you're after deep remedial work or just need to decompress with a relaxation session, she is a total professional. You won't regret booking in with her.
I started seeing Laura for lymphatic drainage massages when I was just 10 days post-op from my surgery, and now at almost 6 weeks, I can honestly say she has been a huge part of my recovery journey. From the moment I walked into her space, I felt safe, cared for, and understood. Seeing your progress each week, the reduction in swelling, and how beautifully you're healing has been amazing.
I was referred to Laura with acute lower back pain. I texted her on a Saturday requesting a same-day appointment and in no time, she called me to find out more and then fitted me in later on the same day. Laura's training, experience and intuition to go exactly where it's needed is amazing.
Hi, I'm Laura.
I'm an ATMS-registered remedial massage therapist with 8 years of hands-on experience, based in Runaway Bay. I hold a Diploma of Remedial Massage from Evolve College and work with clients across the Gold Coast on everything from stubborn muscle pain to stress, pregnancy discomfort and post-surgery recovery.
Every session begins with a short assessment so the treatment actually fits what your body needs that day — not a one-size-fits-all routine.
