Remedial Massage
Remedial massage combines deep tissue techniques with myofascial release to address muscular dysfunctions. This therapy improves circulation, reduces pain, and enhances joint mobility through targeted manipulation of soft tissues. Clients benefit from tailored sessions addressing specific conditions like arthritis, sports injuries, and pregnancy-related discomfort.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture utilises fine needles at meridian points to restore energy flow and balance bodily systems. This evidence-based practice effectively manages chronic pain, stress, and fertility issues by stimulating the body's natural healing mechanisms. Treatments integrate seamlessly with other therapies for comprehensive care.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy employs pure essential oils through massage and inhalation to enhance physical and emotional wellbeing. Custom oil blends target specific health concerns while promoting relaxation and stress relief. The therapy combines ancient practices with modern understanding of plant-based medicine.
Infant Massage
Infant massage teaches parents techniques to improve their baby's digestion, sleep patterns, and immune function. This gentle practice enhances parent-child bonding while addressing common issues like colic and teething discomfort through safe, nurturing touch.
Crystal Therapy
Crystal therapy uses semiprecious stones to balance chakra energy points and promote holistic healing. Specific crystals placed on energy centres help release emotional blockages and restore physical equilibrium through vibrational energy interactions.

Has anyone ever restored their faith in something which they've discarded for many years? Trust me, when you meet Janene, you'll have confidence in the power of acupuncture. I came here just two days ago with a sharp lower back pain. In just two days, that pain has completely disappeared.
Acupuncture was only just one of the reasons why I gave 5 stars. Before my acupuncture, I got a remedial massage on my back and legs. During the massage, Janene made me feel at ease. She pinpointed why I ended up with the same lower back pain which I had a few times in the past. The atmosphere, the chat, her

I had so much pain in my neck and shoulder area - the neck was rock solid. To me, taking panadol would be taking medication however I resisted and found Janene! I have been sort of unwell but couldn't say why or what was wrong with me. The first treatment Janene gave me my massage with acupuncture, I threw up after the session and I felt 100% my old self again! Whatever it was must have been dislodged in the treatment. The headache and pain subsided and today, my second treatment - my whole neck area had some 'give' and I can say, I can move my head left to right and vice versa without any restrictions

I am going through perimenopause and have been going for massages and cupping for months thinking it will sort my cramps and lower back pain, however it did not help. Did some research and came across Janene's site and thought I give it a go today. Janene is friendly and well versed in what she does, she was very accurate with her diagnosis. After a good 2 hours which included consultation and treatment, I am so so much better, no more lower back pain. Thank you Janene for restoring my Qi

Janene is full of life and energy and passes this on to each of her clients. I had unexplained pain in my upper back which she skillfully treated with a massage and (my first time) accupunture. She also 'diagnosed' and taught me about how that particular spot in Chinese Medicine stores a certain emotion and it was surprisingly true indeed that I was dealing with this emotion at that moment in my life!
While the needles did their work, she put on a guided meditation for me to fully relax. After she took out the needles, my back instantly felt less painful and I felt my whole self less tense, instead

I was recommended to A Holistic Healing Centre by a close family member, after having a history of issues with my back and right arm. I have had a few acupuncture seasons with Janene, not only was she able to relieve the pain I had been suffering from in my arm and back, she also identified other areas which I was unaware that I was holding tension in. This also lead to the my demise of migraines. Janene is a great healer and a beautiful person she made me feel relaxed took time to understand my issues. I highly recommend A Holistic Healing Centre.

Janene not only has healing hands but she is a healing and soothing soul to be around. I have a re-occurring knee injury that nothing has seemed to fix, after Janene did some acupuncture on it, I can do things with a lot more ease and comfort. She mixed me up some bruise cream as I bruise easily, also helped me become more self aware of my body and taught me about which essential oils and foods I should take/use to heal. Janene is an extremely professional, knowledgeable and sincere lady and I would highly highly recommend her holistic healing centre. Thank you so much for providing me with such
