ABOUT SOMATICA


I created Somatica Integrated Body Therapy to honour the whole‑person reality of recovery and navigating life.A space for adults across all life stages and backgrounds to experience therapeutic applications and awareness woven together with intention.Somatica brings together everything I’ve learned across decades in the wellness field and the mental health sector: nervous-system-first, plant chemistry, bodywork, sensory attunement, mindfulness principles, and the quiet art of listening to the body’s language.My aim has always been to offer care that meets people where they are and honours the complexity of their lived experience.Somatica was ultimately born from witnessing how deeply the body holds our stories—our stress, resilience, survival and longing to feel at home within ourselves. Healing is never fragmented; it happens when emotional, psychological, physical and sensory dimensions are recognised as one interconnected system.


My path here was not traditional.


My real education began long before any formal training. It began the day a routine ACL reconstruction became a fractured tibia, nerve damage and profound muscle wastage. Recovery pushed me into a landscape Western approaches could only partially navigate.It offered structure, but only within a limited range of outcomes.It guided rehabilitation mechanically, not from the nervous system, and their frameworks could not reach the deeper layers my body needed.My recovery shifted only when I turned toward the modalities that spoke directly to my system, already very much a part of my underpinning professional skill set - Clinical Aromatherapy, Lymphatic and Mindfulness practices.The practices that asked me to listen rather than override. The practices that taught me to rebuild from the inside out.I learned to hear my body in ways Western frameworks never taught, carving a path that was not offered to me.In 2024 I studied muscular skeletal bodywork through remedial therapy - I studied, I practiced and I moved toward graduation.However I recognised that the remedial therapy framework did not reflect the way I work, I chose to withdraw. Not from learning, but from a model that was not mine.My commitment remains unwavering. My manual practice is grounded in The Micheline Arcier Technique, a lineage refined over six decades. Six decades of precision, intention and therapeutic depth.Six decades of evidence that the body responds when approached with intelligence, presence and respect.This is the foundation I stand on.This is the education I carry.This is the work I am devoted to.


MISSION STATEMENT

"Providing focused, restorative care that supports nervous-system-first whole‑person recovery".

CELEBRATING THE FOUNDATIONS
OF MY INTEGRATED PRACTICE


My journey into wellness began in the mid‑1990s, a time when complementary medicine, wellness and wellbeing was stepping into the light of mainstream recognition.Over the past three decades I’ve cultivated a deeply integrative practice that bridges aromatherapy, botanical medicine, various body therapy modalities & techniques, including mental health & mindfulness—each discipline informing the other to support whole‑person healing.I’ve had the privilege of working with adults from diverse backgrounds and life stages - people in their navigating stress and anxiety, through to older adults in aged‑care settings seeking comfort, dignity and connection.These experiences have shaped a practice that understands the shifting needs of the body and mind across the lifespan.My scope of practice extends beyond the delivery of standardised body therapy and my understanding of anatomy and physiology supports my reportiore of skills & tools I offer.


COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH PRACTIONER


My five years of experience immersed in the mental health sector as a peer practitioner with a not-for-profit organisation contributed towards the insight I gained in understand human behaviour and the various ways we navigate life’s complexities.Working closely with people across diverse backgrounds and circumstances taught me to recognise the emotional and psychological layers that sit beneath physical tension, stress and dysregulation.That immersion informs my practice today, where I integrate mental health principles to honour the whole person and offer skills, tools and strategies that support regulation, resilience and embodied wellbeing


THE MICHELINE ARCIER TECHNIQUE

I specialise in The Micheline Arcier Aromatherapy Massage Treatment Technique, which is based on a renowned approach that encompasses;1. ESSENTIAL OIL THERAPY2. LYMPHATIC RESET MASSAGE3. POLARITY THERAPY4. ACUPRESSURE5. SWEDISH MASSAGESee below NERVOUS-SYSTEM-FIRST APPLICATIONS for details


NERVOUS-SYSTEM-FIRST Applications

ESSENTIAL OIL THERAPYEssential Oil Therapy combines gentle inhalation and light topical application of plant‑based aromatic extracts to support relaxation, emotional balance, and nervous‑system ease. Your personalised blend is chosen through a Life Landscape Consultation and paired with an anchoring process that helps your body associate the aromatic profile with a regulated, grounded state. A sensory‑based treatment designed to bring the body back into a state of ease.LYMPHATIC RESET MASSAGELymphatic Massage uses light, rhythmic movements to support the nervous system while helping the lymphatic network of the body, face, jaw, and sinuses release congestion and stagnation. The gentle pace signals safety to the system, easing pressure, reducing puffiness, and restoring a sense of internal flow.
Integrated within the Micheline Arcier Technique, these decongesting sequences work in harmony with aromatic applications and structured touch, enhancing clarity, grounding, and whole‑body ease.
POLARITY THERAPY
Polarity Therapy uses gentle touch and energy‑balancing holds to help the nervous system shift out of protection and into ease. Integrated within the Micheline Arcier Technique, it deepens the sensory experience of the treatment — slowing the system, grounding the body, and supporting a more regulated, coherent state.
ACUPRESSUREIn the Micheline Arcier Technique, acupressure is used as gentle, focused pressure on specific points to encourage relaxation and ease general tension.Integrated with aromatherapy and rhythmic massage, it supports the body in settling and restoring balance.It remains non‑diagnostic and purely within massage therapy scope, offering comfort, grounding and enhanced wellbeing.SWEDISH MASSAGE STROKESSelected Swedish massage strokes are used to create the seamless flow of the Micheline Arcier Technique. These slow, rhythmic, and intentionally patterned movements help the nervous system settle, linking each modality into one continuous sensory experience. The strokes guide the body from one application to the next, enhancing grounding, coherence, and the overall therapeutic effect of the treatment.CRANIAL RELEASERelieving and releasing tension (headaches) of the sub-occipital region at the base of the skull and aligning regions of the neck & skull.HOT STONE PLACEMENTHot stone placement uses gently warmed stones positioned on key areas of the body to support relaxation and prepare the tissues for hands‑on work.Unlike hot stone massage, the emphasis is on strategic placement rather than using stones as massage tools.This technique stays within massage therapy scope and enhances overall treatment comfort and effectiveness.REFLEXOLOGYReflexology uses gentle pressure on specific points of the feet and hands to promote relaxation, ease general tension and support overall wellbeing.It focuses on soothing tender or responsive areas to help calm the nervous system and encourage a sense of balance.It does not diagnose or treat conditions, but offers a supportive, grounding experience that helps clients unwind and reconnect with their body.HOME AFTERCARE PREPARATIONSClick on Aftercare preparation tab for more details


MINDFULNESS APPLICATIONS

PACED BREATHINGA slow, steady breathing technique where the exhale is longer than the inhale. This rhythm activates the body’s calming system, lowers stress, and helps regulate emotions.BODY SCANNINGA mindfulness practice that guides attention through the body, noticing sensations without judgment. It increases awareness, reduces tension, and supports relaxation and grounding.


"... its reach goes far beyond the principles of modern massage and it's an experience that invites your whole being to exhale"

Ilario Vitalis 2026

The Somatica Massage Treatment is a multifaceted Nervous-system-first therapeutic approach that engages multiple body systems - far more than muscles and soft tissue.The Somatica Massage Treatment engages the Autonomic Nervous System and the interconnected physiological pathways that influence regulation, recovery, and overall wellbeing.Because these treatments work beyond surface-level relaxation, each session produces a uniquely individual outcome.


YOUR BODY'S RESPONSE

The outcome of your massage treatment is based particularly on how your Nervous System interprets and integrates the applications delivered throughout your treatment - it determines whether you move toward a state of calm, clarity, activation, or renewed alertness.In some cases, a person may believe they need to “relax,” when what their system truly requires is gentle activation or awakening!Designed to meet the body where it is and supporting the specific regulatory shift your system needs in that moment.


Each consultation begins with a gentle, guided exploration of your unique life landscape (Life Landscape Quadrant refer 2 .1. ) - a dynamic interplay of four interconnected states:Together, we explore your life landscape, which provides insight into which particular combination (synergy) of Australian Native Essential Oil will be prepared for your massage treatment.

EMOTIONAL STATE

"What you feel"The internal weather of the heart, sensations of joy, fear, sadness, anger, longing, tenderness, overwhelm, or calm. Emotional states colour experience and influence mind, body rand behavioural responses.

MIND STATE

"What you believe or perceive"The stories, interpretations, assumptions, and cognitive patterns shaping how you make sense of the moment. Mind states can be clear, fogged, reactive, protective, or spacious.

BODY STATE

"What you sense"The physiological landscape - breath, muscle tone, posture, temperature, tension, softness, eczema, psoriasis and internal rhythms. Body states reveal what the nervous system is holding or releasing.

BEHAVIOURAL STATE

"What you express"The outward actions, gestures, pace, and patterns that show how you're navigating or connecting. Behavioural states are the visible expression of the emotional, mental, and bodily experience.


LIFE LANDSCAPE QUADRANT


THE FOUR QUADRANTS

These four states form a complete map of the human experience:1. Emotional State -> influences the Mind State2. Mind State -> shapes the Body State3. Body State -> drives the Behavioural State4. Behavioural State -> reinforces or shifts the entire system & behaviour


AUSTRALIAN NATIVE FEET FIRST FOOT BATH


During your consultation you will experience your 15 min Australian Native Feet First Foot Bath, allowing you to begin unwinding as the exploration flows and encourages a grounding & receptive space for insight and connection.


WHY AUSTRALIAN NATIVE & AUSTRALIAN GROWN ESSENTIAL OILS


AUSTRALIAN NATIVE ESSENTIAL OILS

My trust in the growers of Australian Native Essential Oils - particularly Greg Trevena, founder of Essentially Australia Essential Oils located in Byron Bay New South Wales Australia - is central to my practice.The unadulterated purity of these oils is second to none!Australian Native and Australian Grown Essential Oils offer uniquely potent therapeutic profiles shaped by this country’s climate, soil, and botanical resilience.Their chemistry is richer, cleaner, and more robust than international equivalents, making them highly effective for supporting emotional regulation, muscular recovery, respiratory clarity, and overall wellbeing.Choosing locally grown oils also ensures freshness, traceability, and sustainable sourcing - allowing each synergy to deliver precise, evidence informed support aligned with your individual needs.Much more than aroma, these oils are molecular allies shaped by Australia’s unique ecosystems.They support the whole person - engaging the body, on a cellular level .

AUSTRALIAN NATIVE ESSENTIAL OIL SYNERGY

Each Australian Native Essential Oil is selected for your topical massage treatment preparation, these are all based on their properties and ability to support you throughout your massage treatment & Somatica Home Aftercare Preparation.This personalised approach ensures that your topical preparation is purposeful, evidence-informed, and deeply attuned to your wellness journey - supporting the potential for meaningful outcomes.

Composed and prepared to extend the benefits of your massage treatment into daily life

AUSTRALIAN GROWN STANDARD ESSENTIAL OILS

I include a selected few commonly known essential oils that are usually sourced from abroad, however I only use those that are Australian‑grown. These offer a distinctive therapeutic profile shaped by the country’s climate, soil conditions and high agricultural standards.

AUSTRALIAN GROWN COMMON ESSENTIAL OILSCold‑Pressed Mandarin, Australian Peppermint, Tasmanian Lavender, Australian Grapefruit, Australian Spearmint and Australian Orange are known for their freshness, purity and potent aromatic chemistry.Shorter supply chains and local distillation mean these oils often retain a higher concentration of active constituents, supporting emotional regulation, mental clarity, physical ease and behavioural balance.INTERNATIONALLY SOURCED COMMON ESSENTIAL OILSCommon essential oils grown internationally, such as European Lavender, American Peppermint or Mediterranean citrus oils, remain valuable and widely used, but their chemistry can vary significantly depending on climate, altitude, farming practices and global transport.THE BENEFITS OF AUSTRALIAN GROWN COMMON ESSENTIAL OILSAustralian‑grown oils benefit from traceability, consistent quality and a unique brightness and potency that reflect the resilience of the plants themselves.In therapeutic practice, Australian‑grown essential oils integrate beautifully into aromatherapy treatments.

AS AN AUTISTIC PRACTITIONERMy perception of the world has always been detail driven, sensory attuned, and deeply observant.AWARENESSI am aware of subtle shifts in breath, muscle tone etc, that others might overlook, and I shape each session around what your nervous system is communicating in real time.THE ENVIRONMENTThis is intentionally calm, predictable, and adjustable, so you never have to mask or push through sensory overwhelm. Everything—from lighting to sound to pacing—can be tailored to what feels regulating for you.COMMUNICATIONI invest in clear, direct, and pressure free dialogue. You’re welcome to stim, be silent, or speak plainly, whatever feels most natural to your neurotype.NEURODIVERGENCEI understand this from the inside, I don’t pathologise it. I honour it. My entire practice is built around the way different brains and bodies process the world, creating a therapeutic space where neurodiverse people can finally exhale, settle, and simply be themselves.ATTRIBUTES & QUALITIESOver the past 5 years I have shaped the way I understand people, patterns, and the subtle language of the body—informing every aspect of my therapeutic work.

1. During your Life Landscape Consultation, an Australian Native Aromatic Foot Bath will be provided.2. You will also be presented with an outline of the treatment’s objectives and aims, and the entire massage treatment sequence will be explained to ensure you are well informed about how the treatment will unfold.3. Any particular application or part of the massage sequence can be omitted at your request.4. Once your feet are dried and warm, I will leave the room while you undress. Underpants remain on; disposable underwear is available on request.5. For those who experience higher levels of auditory sensitivity, disposable earplugs are also available on request.6. Once you are under the towel draping, there is a small bell to ring and I will return to the room.7. I will secure the towel draping and ensure you are comfortably positioned.8. The massage treatment sequence begins with a 2‑minute guided mindfulness abdominal breathing and body‑awareness exercise, which transitions seamlessly into your Aromatherapy Massage Treatment.9. The areas engaged are from the occipital region of your neck through to the superior iliac spine (the junction between your pelvis and lower back).10. The back of your thighs, soles of your feet, and toes are then addressed.11. You will be prompted to turn over (facing the ceiling) and will remain securely draped with several towels and a blanket.12. Once positioned, the sequence resumes with lymphatic press‑and‑release techniques to the upper chest, over the shoulders, and to the back of your neck, jawline, and face. Lymphatic and sinus‑release techniques are applied here.13. Cold and/or hot compresses are applied to the upper chest and face, and scalp press/release applications complete this portion of the sequence.14. Diaphragm / Solar Plexus Release
The abdomen—from the bottom ribs to just below the navel—will be exposed, while your chest and below the waist remain securely draped.
This sequence targets the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, allowing for a deeper, fuller breath. This area commonly holds guarding and restricts diaphragm expansion, resulting in limited breath capacity.It is also known to anchor anxiety, and releasing this area through deep‑breath engagement can at times bring forth emotions, which many clients allow themselves to express in the safety and non‑judgmental space.This region is also where lymphatic drainage points are accessed to clear lymph pathways.15. Moving on to the upper and lower regions of your legs, draping is secured and only these areas remain exposed for bilateral lymphatic and soft‑tissue engagement.16. Finally, the sequence is completed with the shoulders, arms, hands, and fingers. Lymphatic sequencing and soft‑tissue engagement draw lymphatic pathways toward the drainage points of the upper chest, located just below the clavicles.17. Your Massage Treatment concludes with a delicate mist of floral water settling lightly over the skin like a cooling exhale, followed by gentle Tibetan cymbals.The soft aroma and gentle hydration help integrate the work of the session, leaving you refreshed, centred, and gently awakened.18. The Tibetan cymbals allow for a subtle energetic attunement that supports grounding, clarity, and a quiet return to yourself.REGIONSDecongestion of the Following:1. Occipital (back of neck/head) region
