Alia

  • Throughout life I have grown a deep apprciation for the body and how it works. I value working with people to support and help them feel their best in their body, and I have found massage therapy to be a beautiful way to facilitate this. 

    I believe that massage plays an important role in reducing stress and easing pain, my aim is to provide a healing experience that is unique to you and your needs. I integrate a range of techniques into each treatment, such as remedial, deep tissue, trigger point therapy, and stretching to promote relaxation and nurture you into a state of presence within your body and mind.  

    I also offer KaHuna, a Hawaiian temple-style bodywork that seeks to balance the physical, emotional and energetic body through flow, rhythm and breath.

    I look forward to meeting and working with you!

Myrtle

  • Hello, I'm Myrtle, and I'm thrilled to be a part of the team here at Murray St Massage. Being a massage therapist brings me so much joy. It's incredibly rewarding to know that I can help people alleviate their pain, which has a significant impact on various aspects of their lives.

    I have a genuine love for the human body and its intricate anatomy. When I observe postural imbalances, I use a wide range of techniques to help realign muscles. Nurturing others comes naturally to me, and I believe that everyone deserves to feel cared for and enjoy the benefits of regular massages.

    I have extensive experience in various treatments, including remedial, relaxation, deep tissue, sports, and pregnancy massage. I take a holistic approach to life, and I'd be more than happy to discuss how massage can support your overall health and well-being.

    If you're interested in exploring the potential benefits of massage therapy, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here to share my knowledge and expertise, and I look forward to joining you on your wellness journey.

Hannah

  • Hannah joins our team with a diverse background in body-based therapies, movement practices, and outdoor leadership. She has completed her Certificate IV in Massage Therapy and is currently studying a Diploma of Remedial Massage, alongside a Bachelor of Psychology at Deakin University.

    Her treatments draw on experience in Yoga, KaHuna Bodywork, ZenThai Shiatsu, and Breathwork - blending clinical skills with a holistic approach to healing and overall wellbeing. Hannah enjoys helping clients ease muscular tension, improve posture, and find balance in both body and mind.

    She believes in treating the whole person, taking time to listen and create a comfortable space where clients feel safely supported on their health journeys. Sessions are tailored to each individual, with a focus on functional recovery, stress regulation, and long-term wellbeing.

    When she’s not in the studio, you’ll often find Hannah exploring Tasmania’s wild places -guiding nature experiences, swimming in oceans and rivers, or enjoying the rhythm of a daily yoga practice.

Jemma

  • Hello, I'm Jemma.

    I am passionate about guiding people towards a deeper, connected and holistic relationship with their bodies and believe that the therapeutic power of touch is a beautiful place to start.

    In a Remedial treatment session, I will listen to your needs and work with you to provide a tailored treatment: whether you are on the journey of recovering from injury; making massage a part of your regular self-care; or you are at the beginning of your relationship with massage therapy (welcome!) A Remedial treatment can include deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, mobilisation and stretching techniques, MET & Myofascial Cupping.

    I also strongly believe in the restorative power of relaxation as nourishment and replenishment for the nervous system. I offer Heartworks Lomi Lomi Massage, a beautiful, heart-based practice of Hawaiian Bodywork, which encompasses and nurtures the whole physical body, mind and spirit.

    I love working in this beautiful community of nipaluna/Hobart and wish to acknowledge the muwinina people of nipaluna, and the palawa and pakana peoples of lutruwita.

    I look forward to meeting you and working with you soon!

Leah

  • I offer a practical, no-nonsense approach to helping clients return to the strongest, most capable version of themselves.

    An avid lover of Tasmania’s outdoors, I enjoy working with active clients managing soreness or injury from their physical pursuits. I’m equally passionate about supporting older adults, people living with disability, and those recovering from surgery. Whatever your goals, each session is entirely about you and the results you want to achieve.

    I believe the best outcomes come from a longer-term, sustainable approach to recovery and optimisation. Treatments may include remedial, trigger-point, deep tissue, and Swedish massage, paired with guidance to support ongoing progress. My aim is not just short-term relief, but helping clients build resilience, confidence, and lasting improvements so they can continue doing what they love.

Soraya

  • Hello, I’m Soraya.

    Throughout my life, I have been drawn to the power of therapeutic touch and its profound ability to support both the body and mind. I’m passionate about creating an environment where you can deeply relax, reconnect with yourself, and feel supported in your wellbeing.

    I offer Remedial and Lymphatic Drainage Massage, tailoring each treatment to what your body needs on the day. I believe in looking at the body as a whole and working with awareness and intention to help alleviate pain and discomfort in a thoughtful and sustainable way.

    I also offer Kahuna Massage, a deeply nurturing practice that invites you to connect with where you are in your life today, while creating space for who you are becoming. My intention is to hold a safe, restorative and nurturing space where you can slow down and reconnect with yourself.

FAQs

  • Yes. All our fully qualified practitioners offer health fund rebates for remedial massage. Occasionally, a new practitioner may still be finalising their provider numbers; if so, this will be clearly noted in their bio.

  • Both use the same fine, sterile needles, but their purpose and approach differ.
    Acupuncture is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and treats the whole person — balancing energy, supporting internal systems, and calming the nervous system.
    Dry needling is a muscular technique used by bodyworkers to release tight bands or “trigger points” within the tissue. It’s typically used for pain relief and can feel more stimulating than acupuncture.

  • Cupping uses suction to lift and release tight or stagnant areas in the muscles and fascia. It has both myofascial and traditional Chinese medicine roots.
    You may feel a gentle pulling sensation during treatment, and circular marks can appear afterwards — these usually fade within 2–14 days. Some practitioners use traditional glass cups with flame, others use modern plastic versions.

  • Yes, gentle movement is encouraged. Light activities like walking, gentle yoga, or stretching can help integrate your treatment. Avoid intense workouts or heavy lifting for 24 hours to allow your body and nervous system to fully respond to the session.

  • Relaxation massage is designed to calm the body and mind, using smooth, flowing strokes to ease tension and promote overall wellbeing.
    Remedial massage is more targeted, using specific techniques to address pain, injury, and postural tension. Your therapist will tailor each session to your needs.

  • Both are Hawaiian-inspired bodywork styles that use long, flowing strokes, rhythmic movement, and breath to promote deep relaxation.
    Ka Huna (from Hawaii) often uses forearms and dynamic, dance-like movements that feel nurturing yet energising.
    Lomi Lomi (from traditional Polynesian healing) has a slower, deeply meditative rhythm, encouraging emotional and energetic release.

  • Yes. Our therapists are trained to support all stages of pregnancy. We have a custom pregnancy mat that attaches to the table, with a comfortable opening for the belly — allowing you to enjoy a face-down massage right up until full term.
    Massage during the first trimester is safe, though it’s important to let your practitioner know so they can avoid any deep abdominal work and tailor the treatment appropriately.

  • After your massage, your body continues to process and integrate the effects of the treatment. To support this:

    • Hydrate well: Drink plenty of water or warming herbal teas to help rehydrate tissues and assist your body in flushing out metabolic waste.

    • Apply heat: Warm showers, baths, or saunas can help continue the release of muscular tension and promote circulation.

    • Move gently: A light walk or gentle stretching keeps the body mobile, encourages blood flow, and helps maintain the benefits of your treatment.

    • Rest: Give your nervous system time to settle and integrate. Allow yourself to slow down for the rest of the day if possible.
