Heal your body.
One step at a time…
Trauma touch therapy designed for comfort, trust and long-term wellness.
I'm Karyn Wheeler, a remedial massage therapist.
With a background in mental health and a career in allied health, I began my bodywork journey 22 years ago. My approach stems from the belief that in order to heal a part of ourselves, we need to focus on the whole.
I started my own practise to create a comforting and safe environment for my patients to receive the care and support they need.
Regain strength, mobility, and ease in a way that feels safe and empowering.
Relieve pain and tension without overwhelming your body.
Re-learn to trust your body, improving both physical and emotional wellbeing.
“People start to heal the moment they feel heard.”

Trauma Touch Therapy
10 Session program, 90 mins
Trauma Touch Therapy™ is a powerful bodywork modality that provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore and manage their physiological responses to trauma.
The therapy focuses on helping the person to become aware of the sensations in their body. It allows them to acknowledge any physical reactions to trauma and to find self-regulation strategies such as breathing, movement, creativity, and self - massage.
By being present in the body and feeling safe during the process, a greater understanding of what the body is experiencing and its needs can be achieved.

“And I said to my body softly, "I want to be your friend". It took a long breath and replied, "I've been waiting all my life for this!"
— Nayyirah Waheed
Throughout my career, I’ve had a deep belief in the power of whole-person care and I use a holistic approach when it comes to helping my patients.
My journey to become a bodyworker started through sport and community involvement when I was a kid, growing up in Tongala. The sense of community that I had has shaped everything that I do.
I originally studied psychology at University of Melbourne before transitioning my career into hand-on body work in body therapies over two decades ago. Since then, I’ve continued learning and refining my skills, drawing from a broad toolbox of evidence-based techniques including Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, K-Taping, and Trauma Touch Therapy. I’ve worked with people of all ages and backgrounds—from under-9s footy to elite-level athletes—and alongside multidisciplinary teams including physiotherapists, exercise physiologists and podiatrists.
I opened my own space so I could take more time with each person, really listen, and provide care in a way that ensures that they feel safe, calm, and cared for.
My philosophy is simple: I believe that in order to feel our best, we need to address all areas of our wellbeing—and that starts with listening, trust, and tailored support.
