Welcome! You’re probably here because you value your health and self-care, which are the focus of the services provided at Maternity Massage Sydney.
Hi there, I’m Carrie. First and foremost, I am a wife and mum to three amazing children who are my world! I was fortunate to experience three (very different) home-births in the UK, with exceptional antenatal and postnatal care. Sadly, my family and I have also experienced stillbirth, helping me to understand the physical, physiological and emotional challenges that loss can bring.
My family and I emigrated to Australia when my children were five months, two and three years old. I understand the physical challenges and mental stresses of being a Mum/ wife, putting others first and juggling a busy family life/career/study, whilst trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle balance.
I am a specialist in perinatal remedial massage and postnatal well-woman rehabilitation, with over sixteen years experience practicing in women’s health and clinical physiotherapy, alongside ten years experience as an allied health and massage therapy lecturer in further education. I have a Bachelors of Science Degree (Honours), Advanced Diploma of Remedial Massage and I am currently studying a Masters of Women’s Health Medicine, coupled with extended training and qualifications with Pregnancy Massage Australia as a registered NurtureLife® Practitioner. I am passionate about improving women’s health through remedial massage, exercise and physical therapy; supporting the physical and physiological changes that women encounter through their journey to motherhood and beyond.
I specialise in more complex conditions induced by pregnancy or ongoing issues following birth, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, pelvic girdle pain, symphysis pubis dysfunction, lumbar/ thoracic/ cervical muscle tension, lumbar lordosis, pelvic floor dysfunction, sciatic pain, weak abdominal muscles, oedema, amongst other pregnancy and postpartum symptoms. Working in close communication with your medical care providers where required, to ensure safe and professional practice for you and your baby. I provide a thorough orthopaedic initial consultation to better understand your needs, ensuring the most suitable treatment plan is followed, using specifically blended pure essential oils, with a focus on targeting particular problem areas and diagnosed conditions to support the body physically, achieve physiological balance and mental wellness.
