Massage & bodywork in Maroochydore.
Restorative treatment on its own, without a retreat or an overnight stay.
Unhurried, and shaped around you.
Massage and non-invasive bodywork with Deb Pepperdine or Ian Trew, arranged on its own — no retreat, no overnight stay.
Relaxation massage, focused head, neck and shoulder work, and Ayurvedic bodywork can all be arranged. Which of them suits you is part of a conversation rather than something to choose from a menu.
Before the appointment we talk through what you’d like from the session and any areas to work with or avoid, along with who the session is with. Sessions are one to one by default; couples massage can be arranged if you’d like it.
Sessions take place in Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast. The place and the practical arrangements are confirmed when the appointment is arranged.
Tell us what you’re looking for and we’ll be in touch to talk it through — who you’d see, and when — and confirm the arrangements with you before anything is booked.

Personal from the first conversation
Book with the people you’ll meet.
You deal directly with Deb and Ian when you enquire and arrange your appointment. Your session is personally provided by Deb or Ian, with Ayurveda consultations provided by Ian. We agree who you’ll be seeing before you book.
Before your massage or bodywork session
Tell us whether you are looking for relaxation or have a preference for the areas worked with or avoided. Deb or Ian will talk through the session and practical arrangements with you beforehand. You can ask questions before deciding.
A single appointment or a personalised package.
We can arrange a package of sessions or a combination of our individual services around what you’re looking for. Tell us what you have in mind, and Deb and Ian will talk through suitable options. The session lengths, inclusions and fee are confirmed privately before you decide.
What a massage guest said
