est. 2013
Hi, I’m Ana. Since 2013, I’ve been dedicated to helping individuals move with ease in every aspect of their lives. My expertise covers pain relief, injury rehabilitation, professional sports massage, and stress management.
More recently, I have expanded my skill set by retraining in Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), offering specialised support for those managing lymphoedema, lipoedema, phleboedema, chronic fatigue, autoimmune conditions, peri/menopause-related symptoms, sports injuries, varicose veins, and more. MLD also promotes general detoxification, relaxation, and overall well-being.
My treatments are further enhanced through the addition of cupping and dry needling techniques, allowing for a more comprehensive approach to pain relief, muscle recovery, and overall mobility. Whether you're seeking pain relief, injury rehabilitation, lymphatic support, or peak sports performance, I am able to tailor an approach designed to meet your unique needs. With over a decade of experience, I prioritises personalised care, ensuring you receive the dedicated attention necessary to achieve your goals.
Overview of Services
I specialise in neuromuscular and sports massage therapy, a vital resource for anyone looking to proactively enhance their health and well-being, and achieve pain-free mobility. Since 2013, I have worked along side clients of various ages and states of health and fitness, helping them to proactively optimise their personal baseline health.
I provide massage therapy not only as a treat but as a treatment, specialising in pain relief, injury rehabilitation, sports recovery and maintenance, manual lymphatic drainage, and stress management. Dry needling, cupping, and tailored exercise prescription to improve the condition and metabolic state of tissues, and to improve mobility may also be included.
Whatever your goals, my approach is designed to meet your unique needs. With over a decade of experience having massaged a cross section of international sports teams and individuals including but not limited to surfing, Crankworx mountain biking, football (soccer), netball, rugby, basketball, golf, cyclists, rowers and athletics, as well as on movie productions with key cast, stunt people and crew, I understand the importance of a personalised approach.

Essential and Pregnancy
60 minutes $120
The essential massage service focuses on alleviating tension and enhancing flexibility, designed for individuals seeking immediate pain relief and improved range of motion.
The session can also be designed to provide relief from back pain and general discomfort associated with pregnancy. As your body undergoes significant changes, Ana can assist with reducing swelling and enhancing circulation, ensuring that you feel both soothed and rejuvenated. She’d love to support you in nurturing your body while it nourishes your baby. Embrace this perfect length of time to indulge in relaxation and facilitate a harmonious connection between you and your growing child.
Recovery and Rehab
90 minutes $169
This session involves an assessment and a global approach to recovery and rehab, utilising remedial and or sports techniques depending on the purpose or reason for each individuals massage.
These sessions being slightly longer are great when you have a variety of areas you need work on, or require a little longer to completely let go of tensions or a more conservative approach is required (e.g. frozen shoulder).
Ultimately we are after pain free, optimal mobility and function whatever the mechanism for the issue.
Manual Lympahtic Drainage
60 minutes $125
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a specialised massage technique designed to enhance the flow of lymphatic fluid throughout the body. This gentle, rhythmic manipulation promotes detoxification, reduces swelling, and supports the immune system. MLD provides numerous benefits, including alleviation of conditions such as lymphedema, post-surgical recovery, and chronic fatigue. By stimulating the lymphatic vessels, it aids in the removal of waste products, thus optimising overall health and well-being. Personalised sessions are tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual, ensuring a holistic approach to wellness.

Testimonials

Ana is absolutely incredible. She has a deep understanding of physiology and how the body works and is super quick to identify problems and how to fix them. I always leave feeling more mobile and relaxed after every session. I've tried other massage therapy places but none come close to Ana.

Another excellent sports massage with Ana. I find after a couple days rest (which I need) I am able to lift weights heavier and longer. I left today after another session totally relaxed and looking forward to getting back in the gym. I was tight and quite stiff on arriving, but as the day goes on I am feeling better and better. Ana is one of the best in the business and highly recommended for any serious about training, get down there, but don't take my spot...

Feeling a lot less broken than I ought to - thanks to Ana's relentless efforts to put me back together again in the middle of a peak rowing load on the build up to World Masters Games in 1 month. My session at Anew was long overdue and a perfect reminder that aging bodies need a little (ok a lot) of nudging back into line when we push them as hard as we used to when we were 30 years younger. We still have more work to do but I know I am in safe and competent hands. Thanks Ana!

I would like to write an official Thank You to Ana at Anew for the treatment I have received at her hands. I went to her with a tight left hip and adductor, and we discovered a range of nasty, tight, gummed-up and sore places all over my legs and glutes, and over 4 sessions I have come out limber and more balanced in my legs and back than I have been in years! The relief!!! For years I have been foiled by 'wonky hips' and a 'loose lower back'... No more 🙂 From being leery of squats and deadlifts, because of how lopsided I used to feel, I have become so enthusiastic that I am starting a strength cycle for the next few months 🙂
