What brought you here?

Where is your body asking for help?

Pick what is bothering you the most. Marina will tell you which session is the right starting point, and which techniques you actually need.

This is not a standard massage.

Most therapists are trained in one technique and apply it to every client. Marina holds specialist qualifications in five distinct methods and builds each session from scratch around what your body needs that day.

Myofascial Release
Releases restrictions in the connective tissue that holds muscle tension in place.
TMJ Massage
Addresses jaw tension that affects posture, headaches, and neck pain.
Buccal Massage
Works the muscles inside the mouth to release deep facial and jaw tension.
Myo Aponeurosis
Certified at Vanoni Institute (40 hours). Works the connective membrane between muscle and bone.
Somatic Release
Integrates breathwork and body awareness to release tension patterns held in the nervous system.

Every session is a custom blend. Never the same twice.

This work is not for everyone.

Marina takes a limited number of new clients each week and turns down work she is not the right person for. Some honest examples of when she is not your best option:

  • If you want a one-off relaxation massage, book somewhere else. Marina works with bodies that need to actually change, not bodies that need an hour of pleasant pressure.
  • If you need a medical diagnosis or licensed physiotherapy, she will refer you. Bodywork sits alongside medicine, not in place of it.
  • If you are not willing to do a small amount of breath or movement work in-session, the results will not hold. The body needs to participate, not just receive.
  • If you want tension held for ten years gone in a single visit, that is not what bodywork is. Plan for three to five sessions for chronic patterns.

If none of that scared you off, you are probably in the right place.

Stop paying three different therapists for the same tension.

"My clients usually book me after a physio, a remedial massage, and a chiropractor. The tension still comes back. We work the system, not the symptom."

Somatic Massage Corporal

60 minutes · chronic neck, back, hips, shoulders

Booked when standard remedial massage has not held. Sixty minutes addressing chronic neck and shoulder tension, lower-back compensation, hip-flexor lock, and the postural patterns making it all worse. Marina uses whichever of her five techniques your body responds to that day. You choose the regions. She builds the session around what she finds.

Somatic Massage Facial

60 minutes · TMJ, jaw, tension headaches, sleep

For TMJ tension, tension headaches, jaw clenching, and the cumulative stress most people only notice once it is gone. Sixty minutes working through shoulders, neck, throat, jaw, and inside-mouth release using buccal and TMJ techniques most therapists in Sydney do not offer. Clients typically report deeper sleep that night and reduced jaw tension within 24 hours.

SIGNATURE 90-MINUTE SESSION

Sensory Energetics

90 minutes · for clients carrying years, not weeks

If standard massage hasn't held, this is the session built for what's underneath it. Sensory Energetics combines trigger-point work, guided breath, and nervous-system release to clear tension your body has stored for months or years. The kind that comes back three days after a regular treatment. Clients leave looser, sleep deeper that night, and most book again within the fortnight.

Better sleep within 24 hours
Reduced anxiety + tension

90 minutes · built from scratch for your body

Training that actually understands your body.

Most trainers program your sessions. Marina brings her qualifications in myofascial therapy, TMJ massage, buccal massage, and myo aponeurosis training into every training session. If a fascial restriction is limiting your squat depth, she addresses it. If tension in your jaw is affecting your posture, she notices. You do not need a separate appointment to fix what is holding your training back.

Your nervous system resets through breath.

Questions before you book.

Because they address the same system. Fascial tension limits movement. Movement restrictions reduce training results. Marina's specialist qualifications mean she addresses both in one session, without needing a separate appointment.

No. Some clients come with chronic pain. Others come because they want more energy, better posture, or stronger training results. Marina works with all of it.

Marina assesses how your body is moving and holding tension. She asks what brought you in, what you have tried before, and what you want to change. The session is shaped around that, not a fixed protocol.

Yes. All in-person sessions take place at Snap Fitness Maroubra and an active gym membership is required before your first session.

Yes. Marina works with clients from age 15. Clients under 18 require written parental or guardian consent before the first session. Contact Marina via WhatsApp to arrange this.

Yes. Many clients do both, and the results are usually faster. The bodywork removes restrictions that the training then builds on.

Because you are not getting a standard remedial massage. Each session draws from five specialist techniques most therapists never combine. Clients who used to book physio (~A$160), remedial massage (~A$130), and a movement assessment separately get the same work in one hour. If you need a single relaxation massage, Marina is not the right choice. If you need tension that actually shifts, she is.

Most clients notice looser movement and deeper sleep within 24 hours of the first session. Chronic tension that has been building for years usually shifts meaningfully across 3 to 5 sessions. After session one, Marina will tell you honestly how many sessions she expects your body needs, and what it does not need.

If your first session is not what you expected, message Marina on WhatsApp within 24 hours. She will make it right. Rework the next session, redirect you to a more appropriate specialist, or refund. No long forms. No back-and-forth.

Massage and bodywork sessions take place in Randwick. Personal training sessions are at Snap Fitness Maroubra. Both have free on-street parking within a 1–2 minute walk and are 15–20 minutes from Sydney CBD by car. Marina sends the exact address and parking notes in your booking confirmation.

Sessions are not claimable through standard private health rebates. Marina is a bodywork specialist and personal trainer, not a registered remedial massage therapist or physiotherapist. If insurance rebate is your priority, book with a registered remedial therapist instead. Honesty matters more than the booking.

Pregnancy, postpartum, recent surgery, acute injury, and specific medical conditions need a brief WhatsApp conversation first. Marina will tell you honestly what she can and cannot do for your situation, and refer you to the right specialist if bodywork is not appropriate. Message her before booking.
