I never stop learning and so far I have also completed qualifications in dry needling, fitness, sports science, special-needs massage, prenatal massage, lymphatic drainage, aromatherapy and reflexology. When I’m not at SAGE, I’m at the gym or I love being outdoors – we are so lucky to live in Australia!”

I also offer several other massage techniques including swedish, hot stones, aromatherapy, reflexology, Indian head massage, deep tissue, sports massage, trigger point release and joint mobilisation.

When not at Sage, Caz loves getting outside in nature and exploring the great outdoors, especially camping.

“I have always had a love for holistic treatments and have a strong passion for women’s health. I decided to start my career as a massage therapist so that I would be able to help hands on.

I have worked in a variety of different care roles working with infants to the elderly which led me to pursue massage therapy. Touch is so beneficial, it’s our first sense to develop and our last to diminish. I love everything about massage therapy, being able to offer pain relief, healing and a safe space for my clients is the most important thing.

I have a special interest in abdomen massage also known as womb massage which is very beneficial for offering pain relief from conditions such as endometriosis, PCOS, IBS, cysts, fibroids, menopause and more. It is also amazing for healing after birth, loss, or trauma.

Another special interest of mine is children’s massage and all the wonderful benefits it can offer especially for our neurodivergent little ones.

I offer relaxation, deep tissue and sports massage, due to complete my remedial studies in July 2024.”

Catherine is a student of Remedial Massage and is currently trained for Relaxation massages. Her motivation for studying and massage is helping others. She enjoys learning new things and spending time with her family and is committed to providing the best possible experience to clients.

That event has become a motivator in my new career as a remedial therapist. I want to educate and support people who stop or lose the ability to partake in things they value – hopefully getting them back into it!”
