You can also call or send an sms to 0490 245 171 or email me at kate@bodiesinplace.com. I will respond to all booking enquires within 24 hours.

I will usually limit my travel to 40 minutes drive from my home base in Footscray, but I will consider all requests.

• A portable massage table (length 186cm x width 68cm)
• Table top face hole for seated or floor massage
• Massage oils and balm
• Extra large, soft lightweight microfiber towels for draping
• Pillows for body support
• A small speaker and library of music (option for client to connect their own music)
• Diffuser with a selection of essential oils
• Extra thick yoga mat

At least 2m x 1m of clear floor space is needed if using the portable massage table. One side can be quite close to a bed or couch if you are happy for me to sit/kneel or your bed while we work.

If the massage table is not needed a smaller space is fine. We can set up anywhere you are able to sit or lay down comfortably and move as needed.

Yes, many Private Health Funds will now cover mobile remedial massage services with certified therapists. Please let me know which health fund you use and I can help you check if mobile services are covered.

I am occasionally available for a same day appointment during my open hours. Please contact me via text or call to organise a time.

Of course! If you are booking for more than one person in the same home please pop a note in the comments section of the booking request form.

It is helpful if you wear loose fitting clothing so that I can guide you through some gentle movements to locate the source of the pain.

During a massage some clients choose to undress to their bottom underwear for a full body treatment. A comfortable top/track pants is also absolutely fine. I am able work through lighter clothing layers or work around/under loose fit clothing. I will check what works best for you before we begin.

When I arrive for the treatment we will sit down for a glass of water and a quick chat about what you would like to get out of the session. This will include a check-in about areas of pain, fatigue and quality of sleep in the past week.

I will verbally outline a possible treatment plan and check any boundaries with physical touch or concerns you may have. I can also demonstrate and check you are comfortable with any techniques I plan to use and the draping before we begin.

Once we have agreed on a treatment plan, I will give you a simple relaxation or grounding exercise and take 5 minutes to set up my table and music. I will then leave the room and let you undress (leaving your underwear on) and hop on the table, covering yourself with the towel.

During the treatment you will always remain covered with the towel except for the body part I am working on. I will uncover and recover you up as I move around your body.

After the treatment is finished, I will let you know our time is up and leave the room to allow you to get up and get dressed (unless you need assistance). When you're ready I will ask you to try some gentle movements and note any changes in pain or tension. I can also give you some home stretches and pain relief strategies.

After our session time please allow 10 - 15 minutes for me to clean and pack up the table and other supplies.
