What our clients say

“I had a wonderful massage from Kathrin. She took time before she began to make me feel comfortable and understand what I was wanting from the appointment. She took me through some guided breathing exercises at the beginning of the massage to help me clean my mind, which I had never done before, and it was really helpful. The studio space is clean, calm and professional and the surrounding gardens are magical. I highly recommend taking some time to sit on the bench seat in the garden before or after your massage to take it all in.” 

Thank you for you lovely feedback Phoebe! 🙏🏼❤️ For more client feedback see What our clients say 

Our healing garden

So nice to be able to work again in our treatment room in Hurstbridge. We used the lockdown to create a path and garden space where you can pause before or after your appointment. I am really proud and happy about what we have achieved and can’t wait to share the new outdoor space with you, especially as it symbolises the work that I am passionate about which is to support women on their healing journey. 

“Healing isn’t about fixing or about problem solving. It’s about creating ritual, unearthing wisdom. It’s about trust, love, space, rebuilding, reconnecting, unbecoming and letting go of what was never yours in the first place. It’s about creating a relationship so intimate and real. It’s about cultivating a path back home to you” (Jacquie Compton).

Exited to be back

Every challenge brings new opportunities. I am looking forward to continue my complementary health practice in Hurstbridge after moving out here while massage therapists were not able to work. I am grateful and happy to be where we want to be and have a great sense of connection and belonging to our new community. Come and visit us in Hurstbridge. The new unwind & recharge studio will be open from January 2021.

Temporary closure

DSCF9696

I have temporarily closed my massage business due to the current pandemic situation as it is my duty of care to minimize the risks for those who are most vulnerable. I will be in touch when it will be safe to open again and already look forward to seeing you then.

In the meantime, I want to offer you my mental & virtual support. So, if you feel a bit anxious or need someone to talk to, please send me a message or give me a call. I am very happy to listen and talk with you. And of course, if you need advise on how to do massage at home, on stretching…breathing, meditation…

I will be very happy to share my knowledge with you!

 

Time for self-care

www.unwind-recharge.com_160120Many have experienced the positive effect after a single massage. Yet, the benefits may be short lived if you don’t receive treatments regularly. Use massage to create a “long term and sustained habit change” to pause and take care for yourself. I look forward to seeing you for your next appointment!

For me a massage is about self-care…

www.unwind-recharge.com_180919Jasmina was one of the first women who received massages from me after my journey with unwind & recharge started in 2015. Recently, I had an interesting conversation with her about the power of massage. Here are some of her insights. Thank you so much Jasmina!

You love having massages for numerous reasons. What do you love about massages?

For me a massage is about self-care, about healing, and about joy.
I love the idea of doing something for myself. I love the idea of dedicating some time just to myself and my body. I am not good at doing nothing. I’m always thinking, writing, talking or running somewhere. A massage is the only time when I can just relax and let my brain and muscles relax and enjoy the sensation. Nowadays, there is so much talk about importance of self-care for busy mothers, busy professionals and busy people in general. A massage is my way to take care of myself.

Sometimes my body is in pain. Then, touch through massage helps me to make a shift from pain to joy. I relax and let touch take my pain away. I can feel all tension going away and my body thanking me.

A massage never fails on me. That is why in the last 20 years I have massages minimum once a week and sometime even more often.
I look better after massage. I feel happier after massage too.

You had regular massages after you and your partner went through a challenging time. How did massage help in this process? 

A few years ago, my family went through a very hard period caused by a horrible traffic accident. I was depressed, anxious and did not handle well everything that was happening around me. Unfortunately, that was also the time when I stopped going for massages although I loved them so much. That is when I learned that it takes strength and health to perform self-care. And I had no health nor strength. However, after about six months I recommenced regular massages. And it helped again. I felt alive, less stressed, and as if I was important and as if my body was important again. It helped me to feel in control and ready to participate in life again.

For me a massage symbolises health and care and wealth and celebration of life.

What would you tell people who never received a massage, who believe they would not like it or think it is too expensive? 

I would recommend a massage to everyone, and especially to people who feel that life is too much for them and that they are losing it. Do not wait to feel better as I did. Because a massage will help you to feel better. A massage is also great for busy people, for mums and professionals. A massage is an exceptionally easy way to take care of yourself.

A massage provides such a good value for money. I cannot think about better way to spend about hundred dollars, because treating yourself to a massage means health and wealth and care and celebrating yourself. It is very enjoyable feeling, I promise.

What is different or special about receiving massage at unwind & recharge?

Unwind and recharge has beautiful, gentle, holistic approach to wholeness of their clients. Kathrin has amazing, gentle energy and I always felt instantly cared for. My heart, soul, muscles and brain always join in joy when I treat myself with Kathrin’s body work. I thoroughly enjoy the smells and touches and sounds of music. And there is a gong
