Miracle Massage, Pilates & Fitness

The Story So Far….

The Miracle Massage, Pilates and Fitness that operates today is the combination of 19 years of experience and the fusion of a successful massage practice, fitness career and Pilates.
In 1997 I started my career in the Fitness undertaking training with Network Fitness. I worked in Canberra at Deakin Health Spa and taught swimming at Goulburn Aquatic Centre.
In 1999 I began training at CIT in Relaxation Massage, Remedial Massage and Soft Tissue Therapy. In 2000 while still training in Soft Tissue Therapy one of my teachers said to me that I should go and do Pilates training to look after my body and cope with the physical nature of massaging full time. I attended a studio in Canberra and was instantly hooked.
Miracle Massage was established in April 2001, and I operated from the Eldorado Arcade. In that same year I was fortunate to also work part-time at the AIS, (Australian Institute of Sport). I also continued my Pilates training at the AIS and was able to observe Pilates prescribed to elite and individual athletes. This specific Pilates prescription is very apparent in my classes today.
In 2004, I travelled with Australian Rowing team through Europe and with the AIS swimming team in the lead up to the Athens Olympics.
From 2005, Pilates training was firmly on the radar to incorporate into Miracle Massage. My accountant at the time thought that I was going to be offering pies and lattes! In 2006, I completed an in studio apprenticeship at Modern Pilates on Sydney’s North Shore, training in both Mat and Equipment based Pilates. Here, my understanding and passion of the pelvic floor and how to incorporate pelvic floor training and core stability into my practice was established. As a result, I undertook clinic research and developed a treatment protocol specific for pelvic, spine and breathing dysfunction. This treatment has been validated through ultrasound and is a continuing project and passion. My research has been recognised by my peers and I was able to present this treatment process at the 2008 and 2009 Soft Tissue Therapy Conferences and the 2009 Sports Medicine Australia Conference.
In 2012, Miracle Massage moved to the Marima Medical Centre. This was a great opportunity to practice Soft Tissue Therapy in a modern and cutting edge medical centre. Whist there, I opened a Pilates Studio. The growth of classes was rapid and hence the move to the current space at 49 Clifford St.
