Kind comments from clients...

"As a clinical psychologist, I've been trained to use a large number of tools, strategies and modalities to treat all sorts of conditions. Anxiety and stress are epidemics and I'm not immune myself. I've been having weekly sessions with Carole to help keep  me functioning at my best to do the challenging work I do. These sessions have become an essential part of my own mental health care routine.

​

Most high functioning people who confront stress use problem-solving and other cognitive processes as their first line of defence. However, when stress is above your threshold, it's almost impossible to think clearly. They often persist, creating a negative spiral. That's why treatments that bring down nervous system arousal and reduce structural muscle tension are the important first step. Afterwards it's like being able to think about a problem at 11am verses 3am. Things are so much clearer.

​

Another issue is that we only seem to intervene in our own psychology when we're already in a destabilised state. We treat our cars better than ourselves. Getting a regular service when nothing is wrong keeps the car in its best shape. We don't wait until there is smoke coming from the engine before we decide to get a car service.

​

I am very picky who I refer people to that I work with, as I take my ethical responsibility for their care very seriously. But I have no hesitation sending clients to Carole and will continue to do so. I have had universally positive feedback from clients, and their improvement in their presentation is usually immediately apparent. I can't recommend her highly enough.

"Carole is one of a kind. My husband and I have been seeing Carole for her wonderful holistic treatments over a number of years. Following an interstate move we now travel from Victoria to see her. Her treatments incorporate all of her incredible skills, remedial massage therapy, aromatherapy and if you need extra TLC try the hot rocks or crystal massage - one of our favourite treatments! She is caring, generous and skilled at what she does, and takes great pride in her work. She also listens to what you need and intuitively adds beautiful additions to the session to leave you feeling blissful and invigorated. She is constantly learning and adding to her already amazing skillset. We cannot recommend her highly enough. This is not your average massage, but a treatment that you will want to keep going back for. Thank you Carole!! "

"Carole has a gift. She provides a nurturing and calming space to relax, rest and receive an amazing massage. I leave feeling so cared for and zen. She puts thought into the space and tailors the music, oil and massage to your preference. The perfect place for some self care."

Tanya Hosken, NSW

"I travel a lot for work and also stand for long hours. Regular massage helps to relax and rejuvenate my entire body. I also suffer from lower backache, and massage eases a lot of the tension and stiffness from this area, and helps with the flexibility in my spine. I have also suffered from adrenal fatigue in the past and regular massage sessions have been really helpful. I have been going to Carole for the past 4 years. She came into my life as a Godsend when I was going through a grieving period owing to my mother's illness and her subsequent passing. The massage sessions were very therapeutic and our little chats before the sessions helped me a lot during this difficult period. Carole is highly intuitive and has a natural caring instinct which makes a massage session with her very rewarding. She has the knack of creating a very loving, safe and nurturing environment during a massage session, leading to a complete relaxation of the mind, body and soul. I have always walked away from a session feeling blissful, refreshed and totally rejuvenated. Totally recommend regular sessions with her as a health investment.

"After a complication following a hip replacement op, I was in dire need of good remedial massage and found Carole's name whilst doing some research on my condition in Google. At my 1st visit, Carole was very thorough in gaining all info about my medical condition and proceeded to do as much research as possible herself in the ways of treating it. She has consequently helped me enormously both mentally and physically. Her manner and level of care and knowledge about massage and tension points in the body, is outstanding.  Her rooms are beautifully laid out and very conducive to relaxing whilst she is finding, and then working on, the various parts in your body that need to be worked on. I now see Carole monthly and every time I go she makes me feel whole again -  both in body and mind. I highly recommend Carole as her massages are excellent, very therapeutic and always personally extremely beneficial."
Amanda Carr, Artarmon

"I have had plenty of massages before but really nothing like what I have experienced with Carole. I can literally feel her heart and soul in every stroke, every action is lovingly intentional from tailoring her choice of essential oils for you to the crystals that she gently slides under your palms while you are literally in state of calm and bliss. I enjoyed every second of it. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is not just seeking a deep tissue pounding (lol) to treat short-term muscular tension and knots-release. She is still highly effective in taking your tension and knots away but she does it by calming your nervous system and subtle and gentle holding of energetic pressure points. I would not hesitate to recommend Carole of HealthTouch Massage Therapies to anyone but especially if you are someone who regularly experiences stress and anxiety. She is not just a massage therapist. She is a healer. I am so grateful that I got to experience it." 

Jo Wong, Crows Nest

"I had the most wonderful aromatherapy massage by Carole from HealthTouch Massage Therapies. I was feeling very run-down and Carole concocted a personal blend of essential oils for me and gave me the most relaxing massage ever. I walked out feeling completely different, able to concentrate again, feeling clearheaded and rejuvenated. Totally recommend her! Thanks, Carole!"

Rachael Cunningham, Beecroft

"Carole is a life saver! She took the time to learn about me and find out exactly what I needed, then created my very own essential oil blends - one to relax me and the other to revitalise me. I rely on these to calm down for a good night's sleep or reinvigorate when needed. Very  highly recommend Carole."

Belinda Tupou, Parramatta

"A massage treatment with Carole means Relaxation with a capital ‘R’. From the moment I enter her massage room, I know I can totally relax with one of her amazing massages. Whenever I am feeling a bit stressed or carrying an extra workload, Carole is sensitive and caring of my needs. She has a range of tools that support her work. Her own signature oils, beautiful soft music and an array of natural stones and crystals all contribute to a unique ‘Health Touch’ experience."    

Karen Bowller, NSW

"I had a pregnancy massage with Carole and it was amazing! I’m in my late pregnancy stage and really need some nice relaxing time for myself. Carole is very caring and I had a great experience! Will definitely come more often for massage
