If you’re unsure which service is right for you, book the 90-Minute Initial Consultation & Bodywork session.

You can select your preferred practitioner after reading their bio, or go with the next available.

Sanative Sanctuary structures pricing around time rather than modality, allowing your session to be tailored to your needs on the day. After an initial conversation and assessment, we’ll shape the treatment to best support your body, nervous system, and current life season.

If you’re still unsure, you’re always welcome to reach out prior to booking.

Most clients attend sessions monthly as part of their ongoing care and nervous system maintenance.

If you’re moving through something more immediate or layered, fortnightly sessions for a period of time can provide deeper support. Once relief and integration begin to stabilise, sessions naturally space out to monthly, every six weeks, or seasonally.

Some clients immerse themselves in a package, then step away to integrate and live their lives — returning months or even years later when a new layer is ready to be explored.

This work is organic. I encourage you to learn the language of your own body and trust your intuitive knowing about when it’s time to come in. At the same time, it’s helpful not to ignore that inner nudge. When we respond early, we create meaningful change at the root — rather than simply managing symptoms at the surface

Sanative Sanctuary shares the same building as Chiron’s Hands- An incredible Myotherapy & Remedial Massage service ran by Anthony Skalkos. You can book your myotherapy sessions by visiting www.chironshands.com.au

“Normal” isn’t quite the right word — but it can be common.

Depending on what you’ve been carrying — stress, emotional overwhelm, stored tension, or trauma — your body may respond after a session with temporary fatigue, mild flu-like symptoms, emotional release, or a feeling of heaviness lifting. This is sometimes described as a “purge” or integration response.

If you know you’re arriving with something deep or heavy, I recommend keeping your schedule light afterwards. Prioritise:

• Deep rest

• Nourishing, warm, whole foods

• Plenty of water, herbal teas, or warm lemon water

• A magnesium salt bath (or foot soak if you don’t have a tub)

Support your body as you would at the onset of a cold — gently and attentively.

Your body is intelligent and often knows how to release what no longer serves you. With proper care and hydration, most people feel clearer, lighter, and more regulated within a day or two.

This response does not happen for everyone, and I always work at the depth you feel safe and ready for.

Yes. Payment plans and membership options are available to make ongoing care more accessible.
