About Mel

I'm a Qualified Remedial Massage Therapist in Cairns and the founder of Nurture Her Massage Therapy, based in Trinity Park, QLD. I specialise in Prenatal and Postnatal Massage, with a focus on Therapeutic, evidence-informed care tailored to each woman’s needs.

I hold a Diploma of Remedial Massage and I'm a Certified Practitioner in Pregnancy and Postnatal Massage by Pregnancy Massage Australia. I have completed Advanced Clinical Education training in Dry Needling, alongside further specialized training in Myofascial Cupping and Manual Lymphatic Drainage, allowing me to incorporate these targeted techniques into your treatment where clinically appropriate. I’m a Senior Member of the Association of Massage Therapists (AMT) and a Registered Provider for Private Health Fund Rebates.

My Focus & Philosophy

My practice is dedicated exclusively to specialized women's health and maternal bodywork, offering clinical Remedial Massage, Pregnancy Massage, Labour Preparation, Postnatal Recovery, and Remedial Relaxation Flows.

I believe that every woman deserves an intentional space designed specifically for her changing body - where clinical, anatomically precise treatment seamlessly blends with a deeply relaxing, supportive environment. Whether you're seeking clinical relief from severe pain, managing pregnancy discomfort, or recovering from childbirth, I have a deep interest in ongoing anatomy education, allowing me to deliver targeted, effective treatments designed to support your body through every stage of life.

About Me

As a mother of four, I know exactly how beautiful, chaotic, and physically demanding family life can be, and how rare it is to find a moment entirely for yourself. That's why I’m deeply passionate about making meaningful self-care accessible for women in Cairns.

When I’m not in the studio supporting local mothers, you’ll usually find me embracing the beautifully busy reality of family life. We love packing up our caravan and hitting the road to explore the best pockets of North Queensland. On quieter days at home, I recharge my own creative battery through baking, sewing, and capturing our family milestones through photography.

I genuinely believe that when we take the time to nurture ourselves, we are better equipped to care for those around us. I’m here to hold that safe space for you, and I look forward to helping you feel balanced, supported, and truly nurtured on your journey.
