About Anthony
I am passionate about massage and helping people to be more relaxed and to find more enjoyment in life. My first introduction to massage was through my own back problems.
At the age of 18 I experienced severe back pain & sciatica for several years. Modern medicine could only help to alleviate the pain a little. I turned to natural therapies looking for help, and through massage and other modalities, my life, my health and overall wellbeing changed.
Massage in particular helped me to relax, alleviate muscular tension & pain, and to have more freedom of movement in my body. It has assisted me to do activities I enjoy, some of which I was unable to do because of pain. Massage clearly improved the quality of my life.
As I enjoy massage so much and realized how much I had benefited from massage, I decided to study massage to help others to experience the benefits of massage.
In 1999 I completed the Diploma of Remedial Massage at Chi Med College in Hobart. I am accredited with and have been a professional member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society since December 1999.
I worked part-time as a massage therapist for a year and a half while continuing to work in an office job that I had done for 11 years. In 2001 I left the office job and opened the Hobart Natural Health Clinic in Macquarie Street with Osteopath Richard de Barry.
During 2002 to 2003 I completed my practitioner training in deep tissue bodywork. In September 2004 I moved to my current location at The Lotus Centre.
The Lotus Centre is a beautiful place to work from, it has a relaxing atmosphere, and is an ideal place to share the gift of massage. Following my heart is a very important part of my life. It has guided me to massage, and other forms of relaxation such as Meditation.
In particular the Heart meditations have helped me to be even more relaxed and open hearted in my daily life, including when I massage. In my massage you will benefit from my skills and knowledge as a qualified massage therapist in a relaxed and open hearted space.
