Shannon Prendergast
With a solid background in residential care and a Diploma of Community Services, I’ve spent years understanding the unique needs of individuals from all walks of life. Recently, I expanded my passion for helping people by completing a Diploma of Remedial Massage. My goal is to provide care that’s not only therapeutic but also deeply personalized, drawing on my experience in care settings to ensure every session meets your specific needs.
Outside of work, I enjoy staying active with surfing and fitness, but my passion is snowboarding. I’ve recently picked up the guitar for a bit of music therapy. I believe in the importance of maintaining a healthy body and mind, and I bring this holistic approach to every client I work with.
As a remedial massage therapist, I’m all about making you feel your best! Whether it’s easing chronic pain with Myofascial Release and Trigger Point Therapy or boosting recovery with Deep Tissue and Sports Massage, I’ve got you covered. I also offer soothing treatments like Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Cupping Therapy, and advanced stretches to keep you moving freely and feeling great.
