Massage Therapist

My interest in massage therapy began during a fascinating and
life-changing year spent living in Thailand at the age of 18. Seeing it
as an integral part of family life within the Thai culture I developed
a love of body work which has led me to study a diverse range of
modalities. These include Chinese therapeutic massage, aromatherapy,
reiki, and the Bowen technique; with the focus of my work being
relaxation and stress management.
The last twelve years have seen me establishing massage programs within
hospitals, nursing homes and corporate work environments, working in
the spa on a cruise ship, as well as running my own private practice.

I attained my Diploma of Remedial Massage after completing 2 years of study at the Australian College of Natural Medicine.
A passion for flower essences is what prompted me to study massage
as a means of administering the essences in a topical form rather than
orally. I enjoy the challenge that each client presents whether it's a
soft tissue injury or the easing of emotional or physical stress.

essences, Relaxation, Remedial, Deep Tissue, Sports, Pre and post natal

Lisa Millo
Dip. Remedial Massage
Dip. Reflexology
|
|
|
|
I have been practicing massage and reflexology since 2005.
My aim is to give the client what they need at the time, whether it's a gentle touch or a deep dig-in.
I practice remedial and relaxation massage, in which I use Myofascial techniques (MFR), Trigger Point and Muscle Energy (MET) as well as advanced relaxation techniques, such as hot stone massage and lymphatic drainage.
In Reflexology, gentle pressure on well mapped points in the feet are used as focal points through which tension and congestion in corresponding systems and organs in the body can be treated.
I am very experienced in using reflexology as complementary treatment for many conditions, from serious chronic illnesses to stress, from cancer to pregnancy care.
An attentive, empathetic ear is always a part of the experience.
I have been volunteering at Peter Mac for over 5 years, and find it uplifting and rewarding for both parties. It also teaches me about providing effective, gentle treatment to fragile people.
Lisa is available at our Sandringham retreat and offers: Relaxation, Remedial, Sports massage, Pre and post natal massage, Reflexology, Hot stone massage, and Manual Lymphatic drainage massage.
