Treatments and prices

Tailored care

There's no set menu. Every treatment is shaped around you, what your body needs and what's happening in your life, and it changes as you do.

In person, in Cockatoo and Kallista

How many sessions will I need?

I'll give you an honest plan at your first visit. For most people it looks something like this.

1

Settle

Weekly at the start, so change can build rather than slip back between visits.

2

Strengthen

Fortnightly as things improve and your body holds the change.

3

Maintain

Monthly or seasonal visits to keep you well.
