Massage

Supportive massage care for physical ease, deep rest, recovery, pregnancy, postpartum care and whole-body wellbeing.

Our approach to massage care

Massage at Holistic OM in Ocean Grove and Queenscliff brings together remedial massage, relaxation massage and gentle body-based care to support physical ease, rest, recovery and wellbeing. People may come for support with muscle tension, stress, pregnancy and postpartum changes, lymphatic health, cancer care, or the physical and emotional load of caring for babies and families.

Each appointment is shaped by the practitioner you see, the type of massage you book and what your body is needing on the day. Care may include remedial massage, relaxation massage, lymphatic drainage, pregnancy or postpartum massage, oncology-informed massage, baby massage support, Bowen Therapy, cupping, gua-sha, aromatherapy or Reiki.

Some massage sessions are more targeted and treatment-focused, while others are slower, calming and centred around rest. Across all styles of massage, our intention is to offer thoughtful, individualised care that supports comfort, regulation and whole-person wellbeing.

Private health rebates may be available for some remedial massage appointments, depending on the practitioner, the service provided and your individual health fund cover.

Relaxation Massage at Holistic OM

Massage at Holistic OM supports physical ease, rest and wellbeing through individualised hands-on care. Sessions may include remedial massage, relaxation massage, lymphatic drainage, pregnancy and postpartum massage, oncology-informed massage, Bowen Therapy, cupping, gua sha, aromatherapy or Reiki, depending on the practitioner and appointment booked.

Our massage practitioners bring different training, areas of interest and treatment styles. Some sessions are more targeted and treatment-focused, while others are slower, gentler and centred around rest, stress relief and nervous system regulation.

Care is shaped around the person in front of us, including what is present in the body, what stage of life they are in, and what will best support comfort, recovery and whole-person wellbeing at the time of the session.
