Steve brings a relatable and realistic approach to practicing recovery and wellness. Like many of us, he’s downplayed listening to his body and learned that it doesn't pay. He is a new entrant to remedial massage but brings a wealth of experience in Canberra’s professional world and a passion for learning and application.      

Steve has a love for technical know-how and a respect for the human element. Remedial massage lets him marry the two in their proper proportions.  As the saying goes: Love people, use things. Because the opposite never works.

Steve leans into the philosophy of remedial massage as a shared practice in discovering what inputs the body needs to unlock pain and dysfunctional patterns using soft tissue techniques. He aims to build a rich picture of his client's situation (not a problem to be ‘fixed’) and uses treatment techniques to help clients feel more in control.  

Outside the clinic, Steve’s life has a bunch of trajectories: raising a family, getting deeper into the physical therapy world, rekindling an old passion for road racing (but having more success getting to the gym), advancing a mindfulness practice and engaging talented people via not-for-profit work… with a fair sprinkling of doomscrolling.
