Hi, I’m Ruby

I completed my Diploma of Remedial Massage in 2019 and haven’t looked back since. I have worked in a number of different massage environments including Aged Care, Private
Clinical practice and corporate.

I have always had a passion for the human body, learning all of the systems and how they
work. That passion has grown into an interest in how and why the human body doesn’t always
work the way it is expected to. The choice to study massage was impulsive but it remains one of the
best choices I have ever made.

When it comes to treatment, I tend to lean towards working on layers rather than pain. This
doesn’t mean that my treatments can’t hurt but the discomfort tends to be very purposeful. The
aim, even with lighter styles of treatment, is to make firm contact and then put pressure in as
needed. I will always tailor treatments to what the client requires.

When I’m not treating, I am continuing to add to my skillset. I also do exercise like
pilates, pole dancing, running and biking. I enjoy Dungeons and Dragons and love a
good book (or a good-bad one), drinking tea and cooking.

Clinical interests:
● Swelling conditions
● Scar Tissue
● Headaches/neck pain
