My Name is Anais, I am a qualified massage therapist specialized in pre and post natal care. I hold a :

I was born in France where I studied and worked as a registered nurse for 8 years before moving to Australia. Cairns became my home town nearly 4 years ago after meeting my Aussie husband and we had the joy of becoming parents to our beautiful little girl in 2017.
Coming from a nursing background I have a great understanding of the human body and the physiological changes that can happen during the various stages of life. But after having worked several years in the medical world ruled by pharmaceuticals, I was looking for a more holistic approach in taking care of people, this is when I was drawn to Massage therapy. And it was when I was pregnant myself that I discovered the many benefits of massage during pregnancy and decided to specialize and qualify in Pregnancy Massage.
There is plenty of scientific evidence that massage during pregnancy can reduce stress hormones, relax and loosen your muscles, increase blood flow and improve the lymphatic system. It has been shown to improve mood, lower anxiety, and help you sleep better. Pregnancy massage has also been shown to be very effective during labour to help manage pain and improve your emotional experience of labour.
My interest is overall on women’s health, before, during and after birth. I focus on bringing you into a deep state of relaxation which will allow your body and mind to unwind and heal itself.
I am passionate about raising awareness of the benefits of massage during the entire pregnancy, it is such a wonderful support for mum and baby that mothers should not wait until the last trimester to come and experience it!
So why not come and treat yourself and your baby?!
If you have any questions related to massage during pregnancy feel free to send me a message or email and I will be happy to answer them.
I look forward to meeting you and offering you time to Relax & Unwind your Body & Mind.
