Calma Studio

A little change to my usual week — I’m taking next Tuesday off to surprise someone special for their birthday, so I’ll be working Thursday 6 August instead.

I still have a few appointments available throughout the day. If you’ve been meaning to book in, you’re very welcome to send me a message or book online.

Some days you feel like chatting. Other days, you just need the room to be quiet.

You never have to keep a conversation going for my sake. Close your eyes, switch off and let the silence do its thing. This is your time.

Behind every business is someone helping bring the vision to life.

A huge thank you to Jen at Jaffa Creative for creating the new Calma Studio branding. From our logo and banner through to our business cards, you've taken what was our heads and turned it into something that genuinely feels like us.

Thank you for your patience, your creativity and for caring about the little details. It never felt like just another design job—it felt like you wanted to get it right.

I'm so grateful for your work and couldn't recommend you more highly. 🤍

Thank you Andrew and The Laser Co for our stunning new sign!

We hope you leave feeling a little more like yourself.

Maybe your jaw isn't quite as tight.

Maybe your breathing is a little slower.

Maybe your shoulders aren't carrying quite so much.

Maybe, for the first time all week, you've had an hour where nobody needed anything from you.

Life will still be waiting when you walk out the door.

But our hope is that you meet it feeling just a little lighter than when you arrived.

You are enough.

If dusk could speak,
I don't think it would offer advice.

It would simply lay
its quiet colours
across the evening,

and trust
that someone,
somewhere,

needed only this.

Have you ever walked into a place and felt yourself breathe a little deeper.

That's not an accident.

The quiet.
The warmth.
The slower pace.
The feeling that no one is rushing you.

These aren't little luxuries.

They're gentle signals to your nervous system that, for the next hour, you're safe to stop.

Because after spending all day responding to everyone else's needs, even the smallest moments of calm can feel surprisingly unfamiliar.

We hope they also feel like coming home to yourself.

People often ask how I got into massage therapy.
The truth is, I've always been the person who offered a shoulder rub at the end of a long day.

Long before I studied remedial massage, friends and family would ask me to work on a sore neck or tight shoulders. I seemed to have a knack for finding the spots that needed attention.

Then roller derby entered my life.

As a coach, I became fascinated by how people move, how injuries happen, and what it takes to get back on track after a setback. I watched athletes recover, adapt and rebuild confidence in their bodies. And to be honest, I was at the Physio and Massage Therapist a lot for my injuries.

That curiosity eventually led me to complete my Diploma of Remedial Massage in 2014.

More than a decade later, what I enjoy most isn't "fixing" people.
It's helping them get back to the things they love.
- Sleeping through the night.
- Walking comfortably.
- Playing with their kids.
- Getting back to sport.
- Feeling calm after spending months (or years) stuck in fight-or-flight mode.

The massage table is where I work.
But the real goal is everything that happens after they get off it.
