My name is Annalise Friend, and Soul Glow Body Therapy is my baby!

My intuitive feel for massage has been refined in massage workshops and by massaging loved ones.

I previously experienced chronic conditions with intense pain. I am grateful for the relief imparted by skilled bodyworkers. The imprints of their hands informs my practice.

I am formalising my calling by undertaking a Diploma in Remedial Massage in 2024 - 2025.

I have over 25 years experience with release-based movement, yoga, and Body Mind Centering, or sensing into the bones, muscles, nerves and more.

I also love Contact Improvisation, or dancing in contact, which has expanded my sensitivity to other bodies.

I completed Collective Trauma Healing courses in 2020 and 2021. My approach is respectful, honours your consent, and is trauma-informed.

I have a current Working With Children check and National Police Check.

My approach as a massage therapist is grounded in my compassionate, calming presence. I invite you to deep rest with me to recharge that soul glow.
