With a foundation in both remedial therapy and yoga, I support clients in moving better, feeling better, and living with more ease.
Hi, I’m Kanako! I have been a Remedial Massage therapist for
15+ years. It’s okay to call me Kay, which is the easier name I give to the
barista at a café, hence:
I moved to Australia from Japan to chase my passion — my love of Rugby Union. With the intention of getting involved in the sport, I completed a Diploma of Remedial Massage and a Diploma of Sport (Athlete Support Services) at the Australasian College of Natural Therapies (ACNT) in 2008.
I was fortunate to gain hands-on experience with the Eastern Suburbs Rugby Union Football Club (Easts) and Sydney Football Club, where I developed valuable sports massage skills. Following that, I worked at Health Heaven, a busy clinic in Sydney CBD, for around seven years, treating a wide range of clients alongside a team of skilled therapists.
Since then, I’ve worked independently while collaborating closely with osteopaths, physios, personal trainers, and Pilates instructors. Although I originally came to massage through sport — especially rugby — my perspective has grown through ongoing training, experience, and the many people I’ve had the privilege to treat.
Today, my treatments integrate Remedial, Sports, Deep Tissue Massage, Myofascial Release, and Craniosacral Therapy.
Most recently, I’ve expanded into one-on-one yoga, offering personalised sessions that draw on my bodywork background. These sessions are designed to support mobility, balance, and overall well-being — tailored to the needs of each client, just like my massage work.
