Hello! I’M STEFanie

I am the creatrix of Myotherapy Care. A private, sensory adjustable, trauma-informed, consent-centered, cozy little wellness clinic that offers free, spacious parking, a private sauna room, a gym, and bathroom facilities. As an overthinker, it’s natural for me to consider little details and I always strive to improve the quality of the space I offer so if you see something that I’ve perhaps missed, let me know and I’ll make it happen :) Mi casa es su casa! 

Communication is my jam as that is what I am naturally gifted in. My background is in linguistics and counseling which makes me a seasoned communicator. I’ve lived in various countries before settling in Australia, therefore I am very capable of understanding and respecting cultural backgrounds and boundaries. 

I’m bilingual (Turkish/English) and hold an AUSLAN level 1 cert. I have completed training in Tibetan Sound Bowl Healing Sound Therapies level 1 & 2 as well as Reiki level 1. I am a qualified breath work and Pranayama instructor and love combining all these modalities to suit your needs and create a space where we can meet each other.

I offer private workshops on pregnancy bodywork support to couples, carers, and other allied health practitioners. I can also travel to your clinic and provide workshops in-house!

I’ve also completed and have a full-time interest in pre and post-natal care, manual lymphatic draining, exercise rehabilitation, dry needling, and cupping. I am a very proud ally, standing together with the LGBTQIA+ community, and have done specialised training in inclusive care for gender and sexual minorities. I’m passionate about providing a space where you can be yourself without judgment.

So come on in and let’s get down to feelin’ good! 

 Services

  • Initial Appointment for Myotherapy Services - 60 min

    Initial appointments are where we together discuss your concerns, areas of pain, history, upcoming events, and anything else you’d like to bring up that you might feel be contributing to your current state. Here we will come up with a treatment plan consisting of short and long-term goals to help you on your journey using various modalities that suit you best.

  • Subsequent Appointment for Myotherapy Services - 60 MIN

    A standard appointment is also known as a follow-up appointment. This option should only be selected after an “Initial Appointment” has been made and you’ve already seen me before.

  • Extended Myotherapy Appointment Services - 90 MIN

    This appointment allows for a longer time for manual therapies, exercise rehab, and discussion on topics related to the reason you have come in. This appointment type can be booked as your first time.

  • Initial Appointment for Pregnancy Myotherapy Services - 90 MIN

    This treatment can be booked as your initial appointment and will involve a discussion around your concerns and goals as well as what areas you would like to focus on. All pregnant clients will be treated in a side-lying position. Should there be lateral hip pain or you are unable to lay on your side, I know how to keep you in a side-lying position whilst easing said discomfort. We can get creative!

    “Feel good” movements and exercise prescriptions can/will be demonstrated towards the end of the session so you can learn how to manage and improve your symptoms throughout your pregnancy and future pregnancies.

  • Subsequent Appointment for Pregnancy Myotherapy Services - 90 MIN

    Book this option/session for your follow-up/subsequent appointments.

  • Express Pregnancy - 60 MIN

    This appointment type is for anyone who has had an Initial Pregnancy Myotherapy Appointment and would like a 60-minute session geared towards focusing on one or two areas at the most. This appointment will not entail all the aspects of a 90-minute session but is still delicious for those who’d like a more budget-friendly version that is time-friendly.

  • Initial Appointment for Manual Lymphatic Draining (MLD) - 90 MIN

    Manual Lymphatic Draining massage (MLD) is a form of gentle massage that encourages the movement of lymph fluids around the body. The fluid in the lymphatic system helps remove waste and toxins from the bodily tissues. Some health conditions and surgeries can cause lymph fluid to build up. MLD can assist with swelling, post cosmetic and gender affirming surgeries, fibromyalgia and lymphedema.

    This treatment can be booked as your initial appointment.

  • Subsequent Appointment for Manual Lymphatic Draining (MLD) - 90 MIN

    Book this option for follow-up appointments for Manual Lymphatic Draining (MLD) sessions.

  • Sauna 30 + Myotherapy Services 60 = 90 MIN

    This service involves using a sauna before your myo session and the total time equates to 90 minutes (90 minutes well deserved and spent!). A 60-minute myo session is perfect for 1 to 2 areas of concern.

  • Sauna 30 + Myotherapy Services 90 = 120 MIN

    This service involves using a sauna before your myo session and the total time equates to 120 minutes (2 hours - well deserved!). Like any other 90-minute myo session, this allows for detailed discussion and multiple areas being treated.

  • Sauna 30 + MLD 90 = 120 MIN

    30-minute sauna session before a 90-minute MLD session (sauna can be done after an MLD session as well, just make a note in your booking so that the sauna can be prepped in time).

  • Sauna Only - 30 MIN

    Sauna duration 30 minutes

    *Private insurance companies cannot provide rebates on sauna usage only.

    To cater to your personal needs, please make a note in your booking as to which temperature you would like the sauna to be prepared.

  • Tibetan Singing Bowl Therapy - 60 Min

    Tibetan Sound Bowl healing, also known as sound therapy or sound healing, is an ancient practice originating from Tibetan Buddhist traditions.

    During a Tibetan Sound Bowl healing session, the practitioner places the bowls on or around the body of the recipient and gently strikes or rubs them, creating soothing sounds and vibrations. The vibrations resonate throughout the body, promoting deep relaxation, stress reduction, and a sense of inner peace.

    Overall, Tibetan Sound Bowl healing is a holistic approach to wellness that seeks to harmonize the mind, body, and spirit through the power of sound and vibration.

  • Bodywork & Vibrations - 60 MIN

    30 minute bodywork

    30 minute sound healing

    Bodywork combined with sound therapy offers a holistic approach to healing and relaxation, addressing both the physical and energetic aspects of well-being. Through gentle touch and manipulation techniques such as massage or dry needling, bodywork aims to release tension, improve circulation, and restore balance to the body. When paired with sound therapy, which utilizes various frequencies and vibrations to resonate with the body's natural rhythms, this approach can enhance the healing process on a deeper level. The harmonizing sounds of singing bowls, tuning forks, chimes, or ambient music facilitate a meditative state, promoting mental clarity and emotional release. Together, bodywork and sound therapy create a synergistic experience that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit, promoting overall wellness and vitality.

  • BREATH & BODYWORK - 60 MIN

    30 minute breath work

    30 minute assisted bodywork

    Combining breath work with assisted bodywork can profoundly enhance an individual's health and well-being. Breath work techniques, such as deep diaphragmatic breathing or rhythmic breath patterns, serve as a powerful tool to induce relaxation, reduce stress, and promote a deeper mind-body connection.

    Come and join me for a private session where we can go through your needs and explore breathing techniques that meet you where you are at with ease, with care and lots of consideration and love. Then we will carry on the breathing into simultaneous bodywork for a more grounded and in-body experience.

Why Sauna?

Because it provides strength in stillness.

Because it gives you a moment to wind down.

Because it has a multitude of benefits.

Because it compliments myotherapy.

Payments, Rebates & Cancellation policy

If you have insurance – great! Most insurances cover remedial massage & myotherapy but it’s best you check with your provider first.

Myotherapy Care carries a HICAPS machine and you’ll be able to make claims on the spot! I will also send you a soft copy of your receipt.

By any chance, if we are having difficulty claiming your rebates, the best way to go about claiming them is by simply taking a photo or screenshot of your receipt/invoice and sending it through to your insurance app. Voila! Done! Providing you have enough claims left, you should have your rebate processed quickly.

Initial appointments will require full payment upon booking. In order to get your rebate, I will send you an invoice with my provider numbers attached and you can claim through your private insurance provider. If you cannot come to your appointment, make sure to notify me as soon as possible. Less than 24 hours’ notice or a no-show will incur a full fee charge for the booked service (sent as an invoice if it is a subsequent booking). If no payment is made within the given time frame, your name will be put on a blacklist. Obviously if your situation/emergency is genuine, just let me know. Continuously taking up appointment slots in the calendar and not showing up for your appointments will not be tolerated as it is considered disrespectful not only myself but to other people as well.

Requirements & considerations

  • A history and consent form will be sent out to you when you make a booking online. Make sure you have filled and signed these prior to your treatment so that I can make alterations if needed. If you have any allergies or sensitivities, please also let me know.

  • Please make sure you arrive 5 minutes before your appointment so that we have time to go over any questions you may have about the facilities, go to the bathroom, understand sauna rules, etc. By doing this, we can start your appointment on time.

  • When you use the infrared sauna, the whole room is at your disposal. You are in your own privacy. You will not be sharing the space with others which makes for a better experience.

  • I cannot take cash payments mainly because I don’t carry change ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
