​
So here is a face behind the name.
​
I live on Tamborine Mountain, with two beautiful sons, Luke and Jack.
Coming from a background of being homeless with a six month old baby due to domestic violence, we are deeply grateful for the sweet life we now have.
​
Ripple was a glimmer in my eye for a couple of years before I started it up here in 2005. Just me, one massage therapist on a mountain.
We are 100% Australian owned and operated and are not a franchise, and operate with a team of therapists in Tamborine Mountain, Scenic Rim, Gold Coast, Brisbane and northern NSW to Byron Bay.
​
Our aim is to give our guests the massage they would like, and remain small, personal, down to earth and friendly.
​
I have been massaging for 20 years, and am trained in remedial, relaxation, prenatal, hot stone, reflexology, aromatherapy, Balinese, Kahuna, Indian Head other styles of massage.
I also have university qualifications as a psychologist, economist and extensive training in DV and trauma informed treatments. Currently, I undertake limited massages in the Gold Coast, Tamborine Mountain, Scenic Rim, Northern Rivers NSW and Brisbane regions, and also the trauma informed massages in DV shelters.
​
I have also been beekeeping for 6 years, and have 5 hives on Tamborine Mountain. We use the boutique honey from these hives in our honey massage and massage products.
If you want to know more about us you can follow us on Facebook or Instagram.
​
Our team is looking forward to coming to see you soon.

What We Know To Be True
A customer is the most important visitor on our premises.
​
They are not dependent on us. We are dependent on them.
​
They are not an interruption of our work. They are the purpose of it.
​
They are not an outsider to our business. They are a part of it.
​
We are not doing them a favor by serving them.
​
They are doing us a favor by giving us the opportunity to do so.
​
– Mahatma Gandhi
