Jasmine

Massage Therapist/Energy Healer

I had always wanted to reach out and assist others, and uplift them. Born in Bangkok, Thailand, massages came naturally as part of a cultural background since my childhood days, starting with my mother. And ofcourse my very first massage study was Traditional Thai Massage from a very wise teacher in a village south of Thailand.

Later, after completing Remedial Massage Therapy, my passion in caring for others health and wellbeing grew over the nine years of my massage career. I continued to pursued different modalities such as lymphatic drainage, reflexology, myofascial cupping. I also discovered therapeutic essential oils play an equally important role in emotional senses and upliftment. Hence Raindrop Treatment is another modality that I love. Yet my favourite is Access Bars. This technique is liken to a brain detox. Which I feel, is a perfect combination to relax the mental and physical state. Hence, my very own signature technique known as Energy Balance Massage.

I believe in healthy mind, body and spirit. When I am not working I enjoyed Yoga, Flamenco dancing, meditation, walking, readings, and ongoing student of Taichi and life!

Shane McNear

Remedial Massage Therapist

I am a career Myotherapist and Soft tissue specialist with over 2 decades of clinical experience. I have worked exclusively for the past 17 years with Chiropractors in clinical settings. I believe this combination of Chiro and Myo works to provide an elevated level of healthcare.

Graduating from Endeavor College of Natural Medicine the dux for the Remedial Massage in 2003 , I went on to study Myotherapy at MIMT in 2004.

After some years in clinical practice, I felt the need to extend my abilities and have studied extensively in the field of connective tissue, and have seen my scope of my Myotherapy treatments significantly increase. I’m often finding solutions to conditions that don’t respond to traditional therapies.

From the tradesman to the office worker, the young and the old, I’m able to find a way to meet my clients “where they are”. Of special interest is the management I can provide for pregnancies.

Some of the therapies included are
Dry Needling
Electro Acupuncture
Tens machine
Japanese far infra red therapy (Onnetsu),
Cupping
Manual Lymphatic Drainage.

I have always greatly enjoyed my work, it’s a blessing to be able to help people as i do. With a background in Martial Arts, i enjoy meditation and music.
