Not sure which massage is right for you? Each of our treatments is designed to address specific needs – from stress to sports injury recovery.
Price: $110 for 1 hour
Perfect For: The ‘tech neck’ from hours at a desk or the deep-seated lower back pain common in our local tradies and weekend warriors.
Therapist’s Insight: I’ve found the key to deep tissue isn’t just pressure; it’s precision. My focus is on using advanced techniques like trigger point therapy and myofascial release to address the root cause of your pain, breaking down stubborn adhesions and restoring true mobility, not just providing temporary relief.
Price: $160 for 1 hour 30 minutes
Perfect For: A full-body “reset” for when you feel stressed, overwhelmed, or are struggling with sleep.
Ivie’s Insight: This is my signature service for clients who feel ‘stuck’ in a high-stress state. I use it to calm the entire nervous system, not just treat one symptom. By using long, flowing strokes and focusing on rhythmic breathing, we can move your body from ‘fight-or-flight’ into ‘rest-and-repair,’ which is essential for deep sleep and lasting stress relief.
Price: $60 for 30 minutes
Perfect For: For the Burleigh Surfer, Golfer, or Runner.
Whether you’re dealing with paddler’s shoulder from a session at The Point or runner’s knee from training in the Burleigh Headland National Park, your massage will be tailored to your sport. My focus is on releasing the specific muscle groups you overuse (like lats for surfers or ITBs for runners) to accelerate recovery and get you performing at your best.
Price: $60 for 30 minutes
Perfect For: Targeted assessment and treatment of a specific injury, such as a rotator cuff strain, whiplash, or joint issue.
What I’ve learned: When treating an injury, my focus goes beyond just the initial pain. We need to prevent that ‘niggling’ re-injury. Using precise myofascial release and trigger point therapy, I work to restore proper joint function and break down scar tissue, ensuring you heal correctly and prevent long-term complications.
Price: $60 for 30 minutes | $100 for 1 hour
Perfect For: Expectant mums needing relief from common pregnancy related pain.
A word from Ivie: Having supported hundreds of Burleigh mothers through their pregnancy, I know the unique discomforts of each trimester. I use a system of safe, supportive side-lying pillows to take all the pressure off the lower back and hips. I’ve found the key to third-trimester comfort is often gentle lymphatic work on the ankles and feet to reduce swelling, which can dramatically improve sleep quality.
Price: $40 for 30 minutes
Perfect For: Children (under 12) experiencing growing pains, sleep issues, or anxiety.
Therapist’s note: In my 30 years of practice, I’ve seen how powerfully children respond to gentle, safe touch. This session isn’t a ‘mini adult’ massage; it’s a dedicated 30-minutes focused on calming their nervous system. By using nurturing, rhythmic strokes, I help them release ‘after-school’ tension, ease the discomfort of growing pains, and find a sense of calm that often leads to a much deeper, more restorative sleep.
With 30 years of experience, I’ve seen it all. While every client is unique, here are the most common conditions I successfully treat in my Burleigh clinic:
Lower Back Pain & Sciatica
Relieve debilitating aches and sharp sciatic pain.
Neck & Shoulder Tension
Eradicate stubborn knots and stiffness from desk work or stress.

Sarah W – “Ivie is incredible – highly knowledgeable and genuinely gifted. Her remedial massages fixed my injury and eliminated ongoing pain. Even my son’s severe headaches disappeared after one session. Truly an amazing therapist.”
Your comfort is our priority! Your first session starts with a friendly consultation to understand your goals – whether it’s alleviating aches, relaxation, or recovery.
From there, Ivie will guide you through a calming, personalised massage experience designed to target your pain points and leave you feeling recharged. Your massage is tailored to your pressure preference. You’ll walk out feeling lighter, more relaxed, and ready to take on your day. Be sure to hydrate well afterwards!
With Burleigh Heads’ active beach lifestyle, how often you get a massage depends on your needs. If you’re into surfing or staying active, weekly or twice-weekly massages can help with recovery.
For general wellness or relaxation, every 2-4 weeks works well.
If you’re managing injuries or chronic pain, you might need more frequent sessions. Talk to your therapist to find the best schedule for your lifestyle.
We focus on specialised massage therapies tailored to your needs:
Deep Tissue Massage: Focuses on relieving chronic pain and tension by targeting deeper layers of muscle. Ideal for anyone seeking targeted muscle relief or managing persistent soreness.
Full Body Massage: A comprehensive therapy designed to release tension, improve circulation, and promote overall relaxation and recovery. Perfect for those seeking a whole-body reset.
Sports Massage: Great for athletes or active individuals, it enhances performance, speeds up recovery, and helps with injury prevention.
Injury Massage: Focused on accelerating recovery from specific injuries, it helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote healing.
Pregnancy Massage: A gentle, supportive therapy for expectant mothers, helping to relieve back pain, reduce swelling, and provide overall comfort.
If you’re unsure which massage therapy is best for you, our experienced therapists can guide you. Whether it’s recovery, pain relief, or improving mobility, we’ll tailor the session to suit your goals.
How to choose the right massage:
Your goals matter most. If you’re looking for overall relaxation and rejuvenation, a Full Body Massage is a great choice. For pain relief, consider Injury or Deep Tissue Massage. For performance or recovery, go for a Sports Massage. If you’re still unsure, our therapist will recommend the perfect option to meet your needs.
You can wear whatever you like, however, it will be easier for you to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that you can easily remove and put back on at the end of your massage.
Currently, we do not offer health insurance rebates. However, our pricing is designed to be affordable for everyone.

It’s a hands-on technique that works on the fascia, the connective tissue around your muscles. The goal is to release tension, improve mobility, and ease discomfort. It’s slow, focused, and helps your body move and feel better.
Massage helps calm the nervous system, ease physical tension, and improve sleep. These effects can naturally reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. It gives you space to slow down, breathe, and reset, which can make a real difference in how you feel day to day.
