About Mack's Massage

I moved to Albany in March 2023 knowing that I was going to study Massage in 2024. Most of my life I lived in the Pilbara, mainly Karratha. I spent some time in New Zealand and China where I started my Yoga and meditation journey, then it grew on return to Australia. 

I had been to Albany 4 times before moving here yet always knew this is the place I am going to live. It happened and I am grateful. The preparation to open Macks Massage is a humbling experience as I create massage treatments with a mixture of modalities and of course still offer the stand alone Remedial and Swedish massage treatments too.

If at any time you would like to talk to me about what I can do to suit your needs, please feel free to contact me.

From 2005 to 2008, I joined meditation groups in Auckland, introduced by my aunty. After a year in China learning different meditation types, I returned to Karratha in 2009 and met Olga, a healer who taught self-meditation. This inspired me to study Holistic Counselling in 2011, focusing on meditation and counselling.

I started meditation groups at "Mystical Avalon," expanded to larger classes at "The Space," and offered one-on-one sessions at "The Karratha Wellness Centre." I created my own meditations, introduced sound meditation, and added restorative yoga. I continued teaching in Karratha until moving to Albany in March 2023.

I started going to Yoga classes in 2006 in Auckland. I absolutely hated my first class only because I left puffed and felt very unfit. I still went back 2 days later. This time it was a slower flow class called "Hatha Yoga" Now this was my jam. I carried on with a passion for practicing yoga and so my teacher training journey started.

From 2009 to 2012 I was only walking for exercise and indulged into just meditation. I then carried on my Yoga teacher training journey; this time was restorative Yoga. 

I moved into teaching restorative Yoga at "The Space" then "Karma Life Yoga" up until I moved to Albany in March 2023.

I have taught some classes in our big Bell tent here in Albany. These days I am driven toward Restorative Yoga and plan to create these classes in Albany again in 2025 incorporating Thai Yoga massage and sound healing.

In 2012 I was attuned to Reiki 1 and then did Reiki 1 again in 2018 from the most humbling Lysa. Reiki 2 was in 2019 and my Reiki Masters in 2021. I incorporated Reiki healing into my yoga and meditation classes and workshops at "The Space" and "Karma Life Yoga". My one-on-one clients came to see me at the "Karratha Wellness Centre" and "The Space"

While I was going through my Restorative Yoga mentorship at "The Space" us instructors had the opportunity to study Thai Yoga Massage. This was the greatest elevation in my Yoga career. 

Danni Mondahl is a well-known teacher trainer who came to Karratha to take us through our level 1 Thai Yoga Massage Practitioner Training. Once we completed our course, all of us instructors implemented Thai Yoga massage into our classes.

To be able to attend a yoga class then to be stretched out by the instructor at savasana is a dream for clients.

2024 was the year to learn the Anatomy and Physiology of massage so I completed the Diploma of Remedial Massage at Tafe full time. I really was drawn to add massage to my modalities.

Learning the techniques, the body, pain neuroscience and lots of other big words has really given me the missing pieces to really know my other modalities as well. This was the biggest course that I have ever studied for 5 full days a week from January to December, 10 hours a week additional study, massaged 140 people and completed Swedish massage, Reflexology for Relaxation, Adapt to Chair Massage & Pregnancy, Sports Massage and of course the many techniques for Remedial Massage. My cup is full.
