PRIVATE HEALTH REBATES for MASSAGE

Elijah Forest Therapy

Somatic Counselling
Remedial Massage
& Bodywork

My name is Elijah,
a somatic practitioner and remedial massage therapist based in Fremantle WA.

I offer somatic bodymind therapy sessions alongside integrative bodywork including remedial massage, thai massage, sports massage, deep tissue and hot stone massage.

This work also supports posture awareness, core strength, breath and balance in movement.

Integrative somatic sessions and bodywork in person are available at my Fremantle practice.
Somatic bodymind therapy is also available online via Zoom.

My work brings together somatic counselling philosophy, bodywork and a body focused, exploration of the inner and shared experience.

Sometimes muscular tensions or chronic pain, reflect emotional challenge, unresolved feelings, protection or something incomplete.

We would start with what matters the most to you and work at a pace that allows you to feel at ease, involved, included and heard.

I draw on trauma-informed somatic approaches, contemporary neuroscience, IFS parts work, Eastern philosophies, movement flow and imagery.

Indigenous knowledge, permaculture and rhythms in nature also shape my work: our gifts and burdens, ancestral connection, epigenetics, observation and integration, energy relationships, and nurturing conditions that support resilience, balance and growth.

My sessions are grounding and collaborative, with focused attention, integrative and with room for lightness.

Whether we’re working through conversation, embodied awareness or intentional therapeutic massage technique, my intention is to support you in feeling more connected, more resourced, grounded and self-guided.

Private health rebates are available for my remedial massage sessions.

Finding Your Rhythm: Massage for Movement, Recovery and Rest in Fremantle

Some days, your body asks for focused attention, an injury, recovery or strain. Other days, what you notice is quieter: tiredness, shallow breathing, or the sense that you have too much on your plate. In my Elijah Forest Therapy Fremantle practice, massage begins with listening. I want to understand what you are experiencing, how it affects your everyday life, and what you would like from the session. Maybe you want to increase your range of motion, need release with muscular

The Shape of Experience: How the Body Can Rewrite Our Difficult Past

Something I find incredibly fascinating in somatic work is what happens when we get curious and aware to the shapes the body takes, telling its story. People usually think about their experiences through the narrative: what happened, how it felt, the story with beginning, middle and end, and they tell the same narrative pretty much each time similarly. But the body is forming its own landscape. The shoulders draw in. The breath turns shallow. The eyes lower. Sometimes we bare

The Ecology Within: Exploring the Interconnectedness Between Somatic Therapy and Permaculture Design Philosophy

Cultivating the Inner Landscape - Somatic Enquiry and Permaculture Design; Integrative Counselling in Fremantle, Perth My relationship with permaculture began some time before I started practicing somatic counselling and bodywork integration. A few years back, I was living off-grid in the Sunshine Coast hinterland in Queensland, volunteering on an organic farm and spending much of my days observing nature and working on the land. Living on the land I focused my energy in bu
