Our treatment journey
Initial assessment
Essential for first time bookings
This initial assessment (including a 60 minute treatment) aims to identify your needs and desired outcomes for your massage journey.
We will start with a discussion around your health history, pain conditions (if any), and reasons for seeking our services (usually about 20 minutes).
A detailed health history will ensure that you are cared for in the safest possible way. Discussion around your pain conditions will ensure the treatment focuses on the correct areas, and using the most suitable techniques. Lastly, understanding why you have come for a massage will help us package our knowledge in a way that meets you where you're at.
Follow-up massage
For returning customers following the initial assessment
Unique massage treatments, designed for you.
This will incorporate holistic and deep tissue massage techniques from eastern and western practices as taught by the renowned Jing Institute.
Informed by our ongoing discussion around your desired outcomes, the massage may focus on specific areas of the body, or open up into a wider, full body treatment.
60 minute sessions are recommended as a minimum to allow for a meaningful treatment. 90 & 120 minute sessions are also available, just select your option when scheduling, or get in touch via our number or email address for a chat about what is best for you right now.
You will also see a listing of our pricing structure at scheduling, allowing you to pick and choose the duration that suits you at this time.
A personalised massage experience designed for your unique needs and wellness journey.
Meet Matt
Holistic therapist
Hi, I'm Matt, founder of MūShin Massage Therapy. For me, massage is a practice in MūShin, responding naturally and without hesitation, to bring about a deep sense of relaxation. I'm a disciple of the Jing method (A functional blend of Eastern and Western disciplines) to a level 3 in holistic and deep tissue massage.
CPD (Continuous professional development) is always underway for the devout massage therapist. I'm currently studying for a level 5 qualification in advanced clinical massage therapy and level 4 in sports massage therapy with The Jing Institute, which will allow me to bring techniques such as Myofascial release, trigger point therapy, Acupressure and much more which when combined, bring about a truly effective treatment modality for sufferers of chronic pain.
I can't wait to meet you, find out about your story, and become a partner in enabling you to become the healthiest version of you in body and mind
What is MūShin?
MūShin, or "no-mind," is a Zen concept describing a state of pure awareness where the mind is free from distraction, judgment, and attachment. It’s a mental space where one acts naturally and spontaneously, without the interference of thought or ego. In this state, there is a deep connection to the present moment, free from past regrets or future anxieties, allowing for clarity and effortless action.
