BLISSFUL STRESS RELIEF

In 2018, Sophie Nash was renting a room at a small massage therapy clinic in Mawson Lakes and dreaming about running her own business one day.

When the former owner of the clinic decided it was time to move on, Sophie took it as a sign from the universe to go for her dreams and Blissana: Mind, Body, Health, was born.

With a focus on relieving aches and pains, relaxation and stress relief, a 30 minute remedial massage for $55 with on the spot health insurance claims sounded like the perfect cure to the stresses of 2020.

Online bookings are available, and I was able to get an evening appointment. Sophie greeted me at the door, watering can in hand tending to her plants, and welcomed me with a friendly smile immediately making me feel comfortable.

After a quick assessment chat about my activity and pain levels, she discreetly left the room for me to get settled on the comfortable table before undergoing the massage. A basket was provided for me to put my outer garments in and I was offered a selection of hair ties and clips to keep my unruly locks away from the massage oil.

The room was comfortable and clean with soothing music and a subtle scent coming from a diffuser. The experience was both calming and energising and Sophie checked in with me often to ensure I was comfortable with the temperature and pressure levels.

Sophie truly is a healer. Her intuition and expert touch quickly sought out my problem areas and melted away the stresses produced by a difficult year.

I was given post-massage care advice and a glass of water and then I floated out of there feeling truly blissful.
