Conny Pulvermacher
Integrative Massage Therapy
BA (Hons),
MPhil (Edu),
Dip CranioSacral Therapy (Biodynamic),
Dip Myofascial Release,
Cert IV Remedial Massage
Registered ATMS, RCST
Conny combines the gentle, non-invasive approach of cranio-sacral therapy, myofascial release, acupressure and aspects of kinesiology to facilitate the integration of experience at multiple levels.
Deeply held emotional habits often translate into physical holding patterns: these can cause chronic and sometimes debilitating pain or fatigue. The combination of the above therapies can engage those patterns gently to free the inertia held within them and facilitate the system towards more resilient balance. Thus resourced, a greater freedom emerges to engage with those habits and patterns to understand, integrate and transform them towards a healthier state-of-being.
Cranio-sacral therapy is a process-oriented approach to body work, guiding the body's innate intelligence towards the resources it always holds at its core: inherent health and the ability to transform trauma and overwhelm towards balance (homeostasis). In combination with direct connective tissue oriented myofascial release work, as well as the electrical support and balance that acupressure offers to the body (primarily through the viscera), biodynamic cranio-sacral therapy can contribute significantly towards the gradual emergence of a better integrated, calmer and healthier emotional and physical body.
The combination of these gentle, non-invasive, process-oriented therapies is appropriate for all stages of life, ranging from in utero foetal development through to old age, and show dynamic efficacy in many acute and chronic manifestations of human imbalance.

Vanessa Malone, Osteopath Dip. Osteopath,
Dip. Neuromusculoskeletal pain management,
Certificate of Acupuncture.
Certificate in Pilates for Rehabilitation
Vanessa Malone is a registered Sydney Osteopath with 25 years clinical experience. She has completed extensive post -graduate studies during this time and has run successful clinics in Paddington and the CBD of Sydney. Her current interest is managing chronic pain and injury with a combination of Osteopathy, acupuncture and exercise rehabilitation.
Vanessa's practice focuses on the basic Osteopathic principle of restoring function to the body's mechanics (muscles, connective tissues and joints) to make it more efficient and help prevent further pain, injuries or "wear and tear". This in turn assists the body's internal systems in working more effectively by supporting the nerves, circulation and lymphatics. Osteopathy is safe for the whole family and a wide range of common pain conditions respond well to treatment.
After an initial medical history and structural examination to determine the cause of the problem, the treatment will include Osteopathic techniques ( such as soft tissue massage, ligament and fascial release, muscle energy techniques, joint manipulation and mobilization, stretching, craniosacral and visceral techniques) as well as acupuncture and exercise rehabilitation.

Maria Bocanfuso
Maria has had over 10 years experience as a massage therapist. She uses two unique techniques of massage to achieve optimal results - Aromatherapy and Reflexology.
Aromatherapy combines massage with the use of Essential Oils- plant extracts- which have properties that assist in overcoming disorders.
While Aromatherapy has gained the reputation as a wonderful way of relaxing and many of the Essential Oils are indicated for emotional and mental stress, other conditons such as acne, dermatitis, sinus, fluid retention, PMT and menopause, arthritic pain, RSI and sore feet all respond very well to the use of Essential Oils which are always blended to an individuals requirements based on the condition presented.
Reflexology is based on the principle that all parts of the body are represented on the feet. The reflex action promotes impulses to the brain to affect the corresponding part of the body. Simple but effective!
The benefits of Reflexology include the enchancement of the bodys own natural healing process and balancing the nervous system which in turn reduces stress, promoting body awareness and increased vitality. Reflexology is indicated for a wide range of conditions and the (pain) management of disorders such as arthritis.
