Hello my friend. Let's take a pause.
​
And now a breath.
​
And now shake it all out ! ! !
Whew! Now, how do you feel?
Need a bit more help to release some of that stress you're carrying around?
Been here before?
So over this . . .
. . . the pressure, the performance anxiety, the unrealistic expectations ! !
Absolutely exhausted . . .
. . . and my mind keeps racing . . .
Had it up to here . . .
. . . with the kids, the chores, the partner, the everything !!
Hiya. Dani here . . .
. . . and I was put on this earth to provide a place for you to release everything that holds you back, keeps you small and does not serve you. My clients often find me when they are on the edge, for that’s what stress is - it's an edge.
I guide my clients through the process of releasing the signs, symptoms and stories of the stress they experience living in this chaotic world. I call these moments life’s rough edges.
​
Life’s rough edges are those moments where you feel like you’re standing at the top of the cliff looking across to the other side, knowing there’s something awesome waiting for you, but don’t quite have the courage or support to leap across the valley of fear and worry.
​
Together, you and I will develop a 'stress relief bridge' that is unique to your personality, your desires and your lifestyle. We will work on finding release and relief techniques that work for you.
​
Our nervous systems are not meant to do this work alone. It is in the oldest parts of our still very primitive design that makes us do hard things better together. We are simply not wired to move through difficult times alone.
So, of course you could look on the internet for how to relieve stress, manage stress, be free from stress . . . but how often do you actually follow through with the recommended processes? This is the magic that happens when you work along side someone to create personalised stress relief solutions to support you in building a bridge to the other side of life that will give you the freedom, space, and lifestyle you are longing for.
So come on over !
Let me hold you and all of your stress and mess. Let's work together to restore the trust in your body to support you to keep meeting
and leaping over your edges.
You know what? So have I !
Outside of years of lived experience with heightened stressful living due to anxiety and depression, I have spent the last 8 years learning, exploring and discovering pathways to support myself during times of stress.
​
I have woven some practices together that have helped me move through times of big stress and little, everyday stressors. At times, I feel that a hands on modality is supportive at releasing stress. Enter my Relaxation Massage Therapy & Scar Relief & Rehabilitation sessions.
At other times, my stress feels so angry, that I just want to shake it all out!! Enter my Shake Stress Off sessions.
All I know is, I have loved having the support of amazing practitioners to help me to take the leap.
We are not meant to go through tough times on our own.
Current Services
Relaxation Massage
Initial Appointment
Melt my stress away please ! !
At our first appointment we will review a health questionnaire and have a general chat. This initial appointment process, along with changing your clothes and the massage could take up to 90 minutes. This includes approximately 30 minutes for arrival, changing your clothes before and after, and reconnection to the day following the massage. The relaxation massage will be for 60 minutes.
90 minutes $130.00
​
This type of relaxation massage can have a sedative effect as your nervous system and mind relax. It is really important to give yourself 5 - 10 minutes after the massage to find your bearings before rushing off to the next activity.
Scar Rehabilitation
& Release Therapy Practitioner
Reduction and rehabilitation of scar tissue due to surgeries, injuries and traumas
75 minutes $120.00
​
Scar therapy and treatment works to enhance the healing of old and new scars caused by trauma or surgeries. Restore scar therapy works with the different layers of the body to release the tension stored in your fascia which then stimulates the lymphatic system to process the old scar tissue and pressure of the skin around the scar area.
​
Why have scar therapy?
​
Scar therapy can benefit anyone after a surgery or trauma. It is particularly useful for people with a tendency to pathological scarring, larger scars, adhesions or an excess of fibrosis. There are various methods that can be utilised to stimulate scars and the surrounding area.​
The RESTORE scar therapy method has been developed to: 1. Promote healthy scar tissue formation to enhance functional and cosmetic results 2. Reduce symptoms commonly observed in scars (local pain, itching, sensory dysfunction, reduced mobility) 3. Reduce any ‘global’ symptoms observed in the body (distal pain, changes to smooth movement or gait, organ function changes) which occur as a result of scar or adhesion formation or fascial restrictions following surgery or trauma 4. Promote emotional wellbeing and acceptance

$130.00
​
Discover a new method to turn on your body's natural stress-relieving power.
Shake Off Stress, Pause Breathe Move's gentle movement session is designed to activate your body's natural stress-relieving power source offering instant relief from physical, emotional, and mental stress symptoms.
This is a personalised session where we will look at how stress feels in your body, and I will guide you through some techniques that you can use throughout your day whenever those stress bubbles pop up.
* Please note, to get through stress, your body has to move through it. This is not a traditional talk session that focuses on the stories of stress. This is a session to start to shake off the layers of accumulated stress you have been carrying with you through life which oftentimes brings up emotions. ​ I am not a trained counsellor or therapist. I am here to provide a safe space for you to start to release all that junk you are tired of carrying around and to provide a sounding board for whatever may come up. We agree that you will take responsibility for looking after yourself after this session.

Standard Appointment
Let's keep the bliss going with
regular follow up massage appointments.
75 minutes $100.00
90 minutes $120.00
​
Appointment time included arrival, changing your clothes, and reconnection to the day following the massage.

Can We Talk First?
I've got to get something off my chest.
15 minutes $25.00
While I am not a trained therapist or counsellor, the many modalities I am trained in have helped me to cultivate an ability to listen. Judgement free and openly. I know that sometimes I just need someone outside of my circle to witness and to hear what I am going through. I've created Pause.Breathe.Move because my goal in life is to provide that safe, supportive environment for you to unplug from the mind, move through the body, and reconnect to yourself so that you can get on with living life.
The 'can we talk first' session is an add on if you feel there is just something swirling around in your head, heart or soul that you feel you need to release in order for a Relaxation Massage or a Shake Off Stress session to be more useful. I will sit here and listen to absolutely anything you have to get rid of. Please let me know when booking if you would like this additional time.
Also available online if booking a Shake Off Stress session
