Sydney
Clinical Director/Founder
Massage Therapist
I have nearly a decade of experience as a Massage Therapist, with over 5 years of practice in Hong Kong. Having accumulated over 10,000 hours of hands-on experience, I’ve encountered numerous cases where my clients’ conditions defy conventional explanation. With compassion and a deep appreciation for diverse individuals and their issues, my treatments provide a safe space for sharing, personalized care, and healing.
Massage Therapy continues to fascinate me due to its effectiveness and the intricate nature of the human anatomy, particularly during the healing process. It has personally benefited me in both physical and non-physical ways, especially in recovering from sprains and strains. Now, my goal is to assist, educate, and empower individuals in managing their health and wellness.
Techniques
I hold a Diploma in Massage Therapy from Ontario, Canada, and have received additional training in various areas, including pre/postnatal and high-risk pregnancy massage, infant massage, abdominal and pelvic dysfunctions in both men and women, as well as breast massage and scar tissue mobilization from injuries and surgeries.
Massage Techniques and Specializations: My expertise lies in general Swedish Massage with a therapeutic focus, as well as Trigger Point therapy, passive/active release, and joint mobilizations to restore and maintain functional range of motion.
Clientele
I work with a wide variety of clients, catering to the needs of high-stress corporate professionals, individuals during the pre/postnatal period (including high-risk pregnancies), infants, active adolescents, those with acute and chronic injuries, pelvic dysfunctions, and individuals requiring breast massage and scar tissue mobilization from injuries and surgeries. Additionally, I provide treatment to everyday individuals, professional athletes, and anyone seeking balance, stress relief, improved movement, and overall well-being.
Special Interests and Expertise
More complex issues such as neurological conditions, traumatic brain injuries, cancer patients, pre/post-operative care, unexplained discomfort despite clear scans, as well as individuals with headaches and TMJ issues.
My Approach to Care
My approach to massage is focused on identifying and addressing the root cause of discomfort, rather than just treating symptoms. I believe in a holistic approach that looks beyond immediate relief and seeks to uncover the underlying issues. Working collaboratively with my patients, we develop a treatment plan to address these root causes and restore alignment through active engagement with muscles and joints.
I emphasize the importance of being proactive and taking preventive measures for overall well-being. Often, people may not realize they have an issue until they experience severe discomfort or are informed by others. It is essential to recognize the early signs of discomfort and address them before they worsen.
Fun Facts about Me
I relocated to Hong Kong in January 2019 and have fallen in love with the vibrant city. I seek to travel to eat and to learn about new cultural experiences, and I enjoy scuba diving. As the Founder of Urban Motion, my aspiration is to elevate healthcare standards in Hong Kong, educating and empowering individuals to lead happier and healthier lives in this bustling urban environment.
