A beautiful heartfelt message from someone special.

“In March 2026, my husband Ryan and I lost our beautiful daughter, Eleanor, after she was born too soon at 21 weeks gestation. Since then, we have experienced profound grief and have had to learn how to navigate life without our dearly loved baby girl.

Throughout this journey, Laura has supported me with massage therapy through both my grief and fertility struggles over the past 12 months. She has helped me process difficult thoughts and feelings with such a calm, compassionate, and validating presence. To me, she has become so much more than a massage therapist.

In honour of Eleanor’s name and memory, we would like to pay forward two massages to people who may be navigating a grief journey of their own right now.
We hope that the memory of our tiny girl can bring a little comfort, care, and support to someone who needs it. 🩷

All our love,
The McGowans x”

Kids massage ✨

I love massaging kids, especially my own. It’s a chance for connection, feel into their bodies to see how they are structurally, a chance to teach them about how nice it feels to be touched in a positive, loving way, teaches them to slow down and receive.

Also provides gentle, restorative physical and emotional support. It actively calms the nervous system by lowering cortisol (stress hormones) and boosting “feel-good” chemicals like serotonin and dopamine.

If you want to massage your child but it doesn’t come naturally to you, I am happy to teach you!

Fertility Massage ✨

28/05/2026

I’m reflecting on the week I’ve had. This time last week, I was nervous and anxious about what was about to unfold.

I had been invited by my beautiful friend Liz to be a body worker and facilitate a circle (The Seeding Ritual) to a group of powerful, successful women in Noosa. I always try and say yes to opportunities and then work on my fears and insecurities later. I had to deep dive into my deep fear of being seen and heard. That I am enough just how I am. That being authentic is ok.

I did it. I did all the things I was fearful about. I connected with 7 women I hadn’t met, I massaged them, sat and sipped tea with them, ate around the dinner table with them, danced with them, taught them all things menstruation, laughed with them, spoke of my fears with them. And, it was fu**in awesome !! An experience that will stay with me.

So, this is your invitation to say yes to hard things. Because, how else do we grow? xx

Thank you to .with.liz and .khalil for being the best cheerleaders, teachers, mentors and friends. I love you women xx

It’s time to increase my prices as of 1st July 2026.

It’s been two years since I last put my prices up, and it’s something I do struggle with. As we all know, prices have increased everywhere over the last couple of years.

As of 1st July, you will no longer be charged a transaction fee if you pay by credit card.

But, as an experienced therapist of 20 years, I am worthy of this. I hope you will continue to enjoy my massages.

My prices will be updated on my website. Link is in my bio.

A heartfelt thank you to Arri from .co for generously gifting us their divine ritual oil, blue lotus flowers, and ceremonial cacao for a private retreat in Noosa. The women were so deeply touched by your kindness! During our time together, I wove the Ritual Oil into nurturing womb and facial massages, and we sat together sharing a beautiful blue lotus tea to deepen our connection. Truly magic. ✨

Tomorrow I’m heading to Noosa to massage and hold The Seeding Ritual at a private women’s retreat. I’m really looking forward to spending time with so many like minded, strong, amazing women. I’ll be returning on Tuesday. Have a beautiful weekend x 📷 by

Twenty years.

Twenty years of being a paid massage therapist.

I have massaged through so many seasons of my life. Divorce. Marriage. Baby. Divorce. Baby. Separation. Baby. I’ve been a single Mum, I’ve moved around to numerous locations.

Thank you for walking this messy path of life with me. Whether you’ve been receiving massages from me for 20 years or watching my journey on socials from afar. Thank you.

I love my job and couldn’t imagine doing anything else. All that I do in my massage room is from the life I’ve lived while being a massage therapist.

I’m grateful for Jenn (chiropractor) for hiring me 20 years ago and showing me how amazing it is to work alongside women. To every human who has chosen me to be vulnerable with, you are the reason I’m still doing what I do 💖
