Questions, answered plainly

I work in long, slow, continuous waves that travel the full length of the body, holding feet and shoulders in the same movement. There is no sequence of separate techniques. The session is one unbroken gesture, from the first contact to the last.

Slow does not mean light. The pressure is deep and steady, and I adjust it to you throughout. Tell me once and I recalibrate, you will never need to ask twice.

Ninety minutes. It gives the body time to settle before the deeper work begins, and it is the duration most clients return to. Sixty is a focused session, seventy-five gives the deeper work more room.

Yes. Tell me before we begin, on WhatsApp or in person, and I shape the session around it. The continuous style stays, the emphasis moves to where you need it.

You lie on my table and I move you. I guide each limb through slow, held stretches while you do nothing at all. It feels closer to a massage than to exercise, and you finish feeling longer and more settled.

No. I work within the range your body offers on the day, never past it. People who describe themselves as stiff tend to notice the most.

Comfortable clothing you can move in. Leggings or shorts and a t-shirt are ideal. You stay fully dressed for the entire session.

Once feels good, a rhythm changes things. Most of my stretching clients settle into a weekly session, which is why Le Rythme, the weekly assisted stretch membership, exists, sixty minutes at $140 a week or seventy five at $170.

Silicone cups create a gentle lift on the skin while I continue the massage around and beneath them. Most people describe the sensation as a warm, drawing pressure. It is quieter than it looks.

Often, yes. Temporary circular marks are common. They often fade within several days but may remain visible for longer. Most people feel nothing from the marks themselves, they are not bruises from impact. If you have an event coming up, tell me and I will place the cups accordingly.

People who train, and people who carry their week in their shoulders and back. If you run, lift, swim, or simply sit long hours at a desk, this is the session built for the load you put through your body.

The Signature Massage is massage only, no cups. In the recovery session the cupping is woven into the massage rather than offered separately, the two work as one continuous session.

A clear area of roughly three metres by two metres. A living room with the coffee table moved, a bedroom, a garage, a covered terrace, all work. I have set up in smaller spaces than you would think.

No. I bring everything: the table, fresh linens, oils, cups, and music if you want it. You provide the room and yourself.

Yes, freshly laundered for every session. You will not need to prepare anything, though some clients like to have their own towel ready for afterwards.

A plain, unscented professional massage oil by default. If you have allergies or sensitive skin, tell me on WhatsApp when we confirm and I will bring an alternative.

Both are part of home life and neither is a problem. For the session itself the room works best with the door closed, a curious dog and a sixty minute massage rarely mix. Do whatever makes your home feel normal.

A spot within a short walk is ideal, since I carry the table and linen in. If parking is tight, tell me when you write and I will plan to arrive a few minutes early.

Not a problem. Let me know the level and I will carry everything up. It only means I arrive a little earlier to set up without rushing.

You do not need to prepare anything. A quiet space roughly three metres by two metres is enough. I bring and set up the table, then pack it all down at the end.

In person, after the session, by card or bank transfer. There is no online payment on this site and I will never ask for card details over WhatsApp.

You request a time through the site, which opens a pre-written WhatsApp message. I reply personally, we settle the day and hour, and my written confirmation on WhatsApp is your booking. Nothing is automated.

In my core hours the price you see is the price you pay, travel included within my area. Late evenings and weekends are held at a higher rate, settled when we confirm the time. Sessions can start from 5am, and can be held till late when the day needs it.

Life happens, and there is a clear way to handle it. With more than 24 hours notice, we simply find another time at no cost. Between 4 and 24 hours, 50 percent of the session fee applies. With less than 4 hours notice, or if you are not there, the full fee applies, and it may be invoiced. Genuine emergencies are different, and I review them personally. The full policy is on the booking and cancellation policy page.

Le Cercle is the massage membership: a standing session at the rhythm you choose, from every week to once a month, with member rates from $200 a session. The more regular the rhythm, the lower each session costs. Le Rythme, the weekly assisted stretch membership, is held each week: sixty minutes at $140 a week or seventy five at $170.

Yes. I hold a Certificate IV in Massage Therapy from Evolve College in North Sydney, a Flexologist certification from StretchLab, and a certificate in dry cupping. My Diploma of Remedial Massage is in progress and completes in March 2027. I am First Aid trained and fully insured. I work within my training and refer out when something belongs with a doctor or physiotherapist.

Yes, always. If having a partner, a friend or family in the home makes you more comfortable, that is completely welcome. Your comfort comes first.

Sessions are always with me, Farid, as this is a single practitioner practice. If you would feel more comfortable with a female practitioner, this may not be the right practice for you, and that is completely okay.

Pregnancy needs specific training that I do not currently hold. Write to me before booking and I will be honest with you. In most cases it is better to see a practitioner trained in pregnancy massage.

No. Maison Prestance is a private recovery and mobility practice and does not currently process health fund rebates.

This is bodywork for recovery and mobility, not medical treatment. I do not diagnose or treat injuries. If something needs medical care, I will say so and point you to the right professional.
