Hi, I’m Kathryn

I’m the founder of Bonbeach Health & Wellness, and my work is guided by a deep respect for the body and its innate ability to restore balance when it feels supported, listened to, and safe.

My interest in health and wellness began early. After finishing school, I completed an office traineeship within the massage therapy industry, which immersed me in the world of bodywork and therapeutic care. This experience led me to undertake a natural therapies traineeship at an established Melbourne clinic, where my appreciation for holistic health continued to grow.

After stepping away from the industry for several years to follow a different career path and raise a family, I felt a strong calling to return to the work I had always been drawn to. In 2013, I completed my Diploma of Remedial Massage, marking my return to hands-on therapeutic practice.

Since then, my learning has continued to evolve. I have completed further training in dry needling and cupping, advanced pregnancy massage, and sports training, while working across a wide range of clinical and wellness settings — including day spa environments, osteopathic and physiotherapy clinics, pregnancy care, corporate massage, and sporting teams.

Over time, my focus naturally expanded beyond treating symptoms alone. I became increasingly interested in how stress, emotion, and lived experience are held within the body, and how the nervous system plays a central role in healing, tension, and recovery. This understanding now underpins the way I work.

I am currently completing further studies in kinesiology, lymphatic drainage, fascial sculpting, and buccal therapy. These modalities reflect the direction my work is moving toward — gentle, intelligent approaches that support the nervous system and allow the body to release and rebalance without force. Once qualified, these therapies will become a central focus of my practice.

In 2016, I was offered the opportunity to become Director of an established remedial massage practice. Under my guidance, the practice later relocated to Bonbeach and evolved into Bonbeach Health & Wellness — a calm, considered space offering integrative care supported by a trusted team of qualified therapists who share the same values of presence, integrity, and support.

Today, my work centres on creating a space where people can slow down, soften, and reconnect with their bodies. I blend evidence-informed remedial care with nervous-system awareness, continually refining my approach as my understanding of the mind–body connection deepens.

Bonbeach Health & Wellness is a reflection of my journey — shaped by experience, continual learning, and a genuine desire to offer care that feels both effective and deeply nurturing. My intention is to support the body not by pushing it to change, but by creating the conditions in which it feels safe enough to let go.
