Back to where it all began - in the back room at home.

One of the best things I did after finishing my student clinic with was I kept the momentum going - I kept massaging and practicing.

There was no ‘I’m just going to stop for a few months’. I was seeing the very first few of my clients here at home (now the clinic). I was putting myself out there and continuing to building my confidence.

Now I’m lucky to have an incredible clinic space 🤙🏼💆🏻‍♂️

Ever been to one of those cheap massage places at a shopping centre? Yeah, me too - once upon a time 🫠

What I can say is this: Massage with a professional is different!

For many reasons, but one of the most important, is the rapport I build with my clients. Getting to know you and understanding your body is a big part of what I do.

No two bodies or treatments are the same - and that’s why at the beginning of EVERY session we have a chat, not just the first.

So please, next time you’re thinking about a massage, don’t let your shopping centre experience scare you away from making a booking 😂

Massage isn’t just a “treat yourself” moment, although it absolutely can be.

Seeing a massage therapist is proactive care for your muscles, joints, and overall wellbeing.
Consistent sessions help prevent tension, improve recovery, and help to keep your body moving at its best. 
It doesn’t have to mean seeing your therapist weekly.. what matters is making caring for your body a regular part of your routine.

One of the things I love most about my work is watching the body transform over time, and seeing clients gradually need me less and less as they regain mobility and experience lasting improvements in pain.
I don’t do this work to make you rely on me forever - I do it so you can rely on your body!

I’m excited to introduce a new product now available in clinic 🥳

Herbs of Gold Magnesium Muscle Cream ✨

This cream supports muscle relaxation, localised relief of muscle discomfort, and healthy muscle contraction. It can be used daily whenever you feel you need a little extra support.

I chose to stock this product because both my partner (a Holistic Kinesiologist) and I have loved using it for years for things like - delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after exercise, sore backs, headaches, cramps, sleep support, and that general “everything feels sore” feeling after a big day.

It’s a wellness-conscious choice, free from parabens, petrolatum/mineral oils, benzoates, phthalates, SLS/SLES and silicones, and it’s also a skin-friendly, fragrance-free formula, making it suitable for sensitive skin.

There’s a tester available in clinic, and I’m more than happy to apply some for you after your massage so you can see how it feels before deciding whether to take a tube home.

I’m looking forward to gradually introducing more products into my clinic 🤙🏼

Hey Team!

It’s been a while 😅.

2025 was a huge year for myself, my family and my business. Unfortunately the Christmas and New Year period brought us some more unexpected challenges which meant my fiancé (who creates all of my content) needed to take a break.

As Barker Bodywork continues to grow, Kelsey and I are really excited about what 2026 has in store. Content will be returning to regular programming from February.

Please see my new hours for 2026 (pinned to the top of my feed on Instagram).

Thank you all so much for your patience and support.

Hope to see some of you in clinic soon 💪🏼
