Our Story
“Hinasaku” means a blooming flower or hatching bird - and refers to rebirth and growth. When everything is in balance, your body knows how to heal yourself and releases all tension and pain.
About us
We incorporate the ancient practice of Shiatsu massage into a Western clinical approach to deliver a unique and holistic remedial massage style. While the Western approach to remedial massage focuses on the muscles, the fascia and the joints, Shiatsu helps to connect the mind and body to support the body’s natural healing systems. By addressing the emotional dimension of physical conditions, Shiatsu can help treat sleep problems, anxiety, stress, digestion issues, fertility, fatigue, and wellbeing issues
Reina Hanaoka
Remedial Massage & Shiatsu Practitioner
Fertility & Women’s Health Specialist
I grew up in northern part of Japan. In 2012, I moved in Melbourne and have been working as a qualified Remedial Massage therapist for the past eleven years. Last eight years, I’ve been focusing on women’s health and developing knowledge through working at specialized pregnancy spa and women health clinic (Fertile Ground Health Group in Fitzroy).
As a mother myself, I am especially passionate about the way massage can support women with their fertility, through pregnancy, and in the postnatal stage.
