Hi! my name is Astrid. Originally a teacher from Chile, I have found my true passion in helping people through massage and remedial therapy which I have been doing for the last eight years.
I studied Cert IV in massage therapy in 2017 and then completed my diploma in Remedial Massage in 2020 at TAFE Kingscliff. I am also currently finishing the Advanced Diploma in Myotherapy with Q Academy in the Gold Coast. I have specialised in pregnancy and post natal massage with Pregnancy Massage Australia. I also have a special interest in treating musculoskeletal conditions. Some of these include:
- Nerve impingements (brachiial plexus, sciatica)
- Headaches (cervicogenic headaches)
- Jaw pain (TMJ)
- Low back and hip pain (lower cross syndrome)
- Knee pain (patellofemoral syndrome)
- Foot pain (plantar fasciopathy, fat pad contusion)
My life has given me many lessons (I love being a nerd!), I'm also interested in linguistics, birth and puerperium, and nutrition.
I'm currently a member with Association of Massage Therapy (AMT) and am fully insured. I am also able to give rebates to all major Australian private health insurers through HICAPS.
