About Us

Our Approach

Most people come in thinking there’s one problem area, their neck, their shoulders, their lower back. And yes, that’s where they feel it. But most of the time, that’s not the full story.

What we see every day are bodies that are constantly holding. Not always in a big, obvious way, but in a subtle tension that never fully switches off. And when that’s there, you can work on the same spot over and over again, and it still comes back. So we don’t just chase the pain. We pay attention to how your whole body is responding, where it’s holding, where it’s not letting go, where it’s doing more work than it needs to, and we work from there.

That also means we’re not trying to force change. You can always push deeper or use more pressure, but if your body is still holding underneath that, it won’t last. Instead, we work in a way your body can actually respond to. Sometimes that means slowing things down, or using less pressure than you expect, or simply adjusting as we go.And that’s usually when things start to shift.

What people notice isn’t just that it felt good on the day, but that their body feels different afterwards, not tightening up in the same way, not going straight back to where it was. You don’t need to know exactly what you need before you come in. That’s our job. You just need to notice that something isn’t shifting, and be open to trying a different way.

Practitioners

Jess

Physiotherapist, Founder of Ettalong Massage

Jess is a physiotherapist with over 22 years of experience.

Throughout her career, she repeatedly saw women living with chronic pain, tension, headaches, jaw clenching, fatigue, digestive issues, and sleep disruption - often after trying countless treatments aimed at individual symptoms. Protocols were followed, but lasting change was rare.

Her own search for a deeper explanation led her to specialised training in nervous system regulation with one of the world’s leading educators, Jessica Maguire. For the first time, the patterns she had observed for decades made sense: many physical symptoms are rooted not in isolated structures, but in how the nervous system responds to stress over time.

Jess never felt at home in fast-paced, protocol-driven physiotherapy. Her work has evolved into longer, intentional, hands-on sessions that integrate clinical knowledge with a nervous-system-informed approach. She works with the body rather than pushing against it, creating the conditions for greater ease, movement, and resilience to emerge naturally.

Her vision is to offer care that honours the whole person - building a space where women can slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and experience meaningful, lasting change.

Available Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday - Friday.
