Meet your therapist Lou (Karyn)

Lou is an experienced Remedial Massage therapist assisting clients in feeling connected to their bodies and living everyday life with ease. She welcomes people dealing with acute and chronic conditions, as well as those seeking blissful relaxation massage.

Lou has worked in the health/physical/outdoor and education fields for the past 20+ years, and still enjoys teaching TAFE Allied Health & Remedial Massage. This highlights Lou’s strong point in her professional history: the theme of helping people. Drawing on her combined experience and technical skills, she loves empowering clients to connect with their inner selves to balance their mind, body and breath.

Self-care is always a priority for Lou, as she has suffered from burnout, and experienced how quickly this manifested into other physical health concerns.

Chronic low back pain is something Lou continues to manage with a variety of approaches, including treatments, strengthening, rest, meditation, and a mindfulness practice. Through her lived experience, Lou can empathise with clients and together develop a tailored treatment plan to achieve optimal health status.

When not in the clinic, Lou loves being in the outdoors, where she can ground, and connect with herself and with nature (which is far bigger than herself). Lou always enjoys returning to everyday life with a new level of awareness and direction.

Connecting passions of massage, wellness, and the outdoors is what Mindful Massage is all about. This enables Lou, your skilled remedial massage therapist, to be present and connected to you and only you during the time of your massage. Enhancing both physiological and psychological wellbeing, you will be encouraged to use your breath throughout your massage, allowing the body and mind to gain the full benefit of your treatment.
