This is what a vocal Head, Neck + Jaw treatment looks like from start to finish 🎤

Gavin James came in after a big run of shows and travel, feeling tight and congested through the front of his neck and jaw.

We worked through the back and front of his neck, SCM, jaw and intraoral tissue, before finishing with the hyoid.

And then he casually walked down the stairs singing THAT note 😂

Safe to say the voice was feeling pretty good by the end. 🤍

Before I put my hands on anything, I want to understand what the voice has been doing first.

came in while navigating some recent vocal changes, so we started by looking at his posture, neck tension and the way he was holding through the front of his neck.

For singers, I’m never looking at the voice in isolation. The jaw, neck, breathing mechanics and surrounding tissues all matter.

Then we get to work!

Such a fun one to treat, and plenty more from this session to come.

This is why I don’t treat the jaw without looking at the neck.

A Head, Neck + Jaw treatment with me works through the whole chain: thoracic spine, chest, shoulders, front and back of the neck, face and finally the intraoral work.

By the time we get to the jaw, everything around it has already had a chance to let go.

If you’re carrying tension through your neck, face or jaw, you can book a Head, Neck + Jaw appointment via the link in my bio.

And if you’re a practitioner who wants to feel more confident helping your own patients with head, neck and jaw pain, my online training courses are now available too 🤍

Such a beautiful day slowing down with the women at the Pause Retreat 🤍

I was lucky enough to join Georgie from VFIT Toowoomba for a day out at Ravensbourne, where I took everyone through a trigger ball session focused on releasing through the back, thoracic spine, head, neck and shoulders.

Then we were completely spoiled with the most beautiful lunch in the most spectacular setting.

It definitely got me thinking… should I host a Head, Neck + Jaw wellness retreat in Brisbane? 👀

If you’d come, let me know in the comments.

You can watch techniques online all day, but nothing replaces actually getting hands-on.

My head, neck and jaw training days are designed to be practical. We work through intraoral techniques, the front and back of the neck, shoulders, jaw and face - with plenty of time to practise, ask questions and understand exactly what you should be feeling beneath your hands.

And yes, you become the patient too 🙋🏼‍♀️

I want you to experience the techniques yourself, understand what different pressures feel like and leave genuinely confident using what you’ve learnt with your own clients.

Upcoming Brisbane training days for dermal therapists, massage therapists and physios are happening in October and December.

Come learn with me 🤍 Dates + bookings via the link in my bio.

If sinus pressure, puffiness or seasonal allergies leave your face feeling heavy, this one is for you.

During my head, neck + jaw treatments, I can also work through the tissues around the forehead, cheeks and eyes to help everything feel less congested and a little lighter.

It’s such a nice addition for anyone who carries tension through the front of the face.

And yes… it feels as good as it looks 🤍

Want to feel genuinely confident treating the head, neck and jaw? This is exactly why I created these courses.

They’re practical, hands-on training days where I break down the techniques I use every day in clinic, step by step - then give you the opportunity to practise them in real patient scenarios.

We cover the front and back of the neck, face, jaw and intraoral techniques, with a big focus on anatomy, pressure, positioning and understanding what you’re actually feeling beneath your hands.

And one of my favourite parts? You get to be the patient too. Because I truly believe experiencing these techniques yourself makes you a better practitioner.

My next Brisbane training days are running in October and December, with courses designed for dermal therapists, massage therapists and physios.

I absolutely LOVE teaching this stuff and I want you to leave feeling confident enough to start applying what you’ve learnt in clinic straight away.

Places are limited - head to the link in my bio to see the upcoming training dates 💕

Every artist coming through Brisbane needs this on their pre-show schedule 🎤

I had the absolute pleasure of treating Tania Doko from Bachelor Girl before their Brisbane show - working through the jaw, neck and surrounding tissues to get everything feeling free before she hit the stage.

For singers, your voice is your instrument. The jaw, neck, tongue and surrounding muscles are all part of the picture, which is why I LOVE working with vocalists before they perform.

So, artists coming through Brisbane - you know where to find me.

And if you were at the Bachelor Girl show… how incredible did Tania sound?! 🥹
