About Bec

Bec has been practising yoga for more than 20 years with a particular focus on Meridian yoga. Seeing the positive effects this particular style had on her and those around her inspired Bec to want to share these benefits with others. In 2010, Bec completed her first formal yoga teaching certification in a form of Japanese yoga adopting the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine to balance energy within the meridian system.

Shortly afterwards, in 2011 she studied Yin Yoga with Paul Grilley in Singapore. This greatly complemented her yang yoga practice and expand her knowledge of anatomy, meridians and the chakra system. When back in Australia, Bec continued to teach and eventually became a mother to her first daughter, Ava. To further expand on her skills she went on to study Shiatsu bodywork for two years with Andzej Gospodarczyk of Ryoho Wellness. Bec then specialised in Women’s Health Yoga, and Yoga for specific conditions. Studying pre and post-natal yoga with Lisa Masters of The Yoga House, and attending Women Health yoga with Lisa Foster of Ryoho Wellness. In addition to this Bec studied corrective meridian yoga for injury and illness with Andzej Gospodarczyk of Ryoho Wellness.

Soon after this, Bec gave birth to her second daughter, Chloe. In 2018 Bec gained her Children's Yoga certification from Zenergy Yoga and uses these skills when families come along to the studio. In 2020 & 2021 Bec completed her Level 1 & 2 Acupressure certification with John Kirkwood of The Acupressure Centre. Bec implements these teachings into her bodywork treatments. Bec has just completed Yin Yoga and Meditation training with Tiffany Cruikshank & Dr. Rashmi Bismark of Yoga Medicine and will undertake Level 3 Acupressure training later in the year.

Bec continues to grow under the tutelage of her teachers and mentors and looks forward to using her therapeutic tools to help people on the road to better health, and a better quality of life.

Shiatsu & Acupressure

Shiatsu & Acupressure

  • Shiatsu is a form of bodywork that focuses on the meridian system of Traditional Chinese Medicine to improve overall health. We sensitively apply pressure (using hands/elbows/knees) to specific areas of the client’s body to help heal common ailments and conditions, and relieve energetic blockages in the body. Acupressure works along these same meridian lines but uses specific points to treat ailments. These treatments promote energy flow and correct imbalances. It is deeply relaxing and helps relieve stress, pain and illness, and contributes to overall well-being.

“Bec is a brilliant practitioner. Her focus on my specific needs means I’m now experiencing some pain relief, my body is feeling stronger, and psychologically I’m feeling more hopeful.

This week I also had a shiatsu. The best treatment I’ve ever had. I could feel the tension leave my body, I could breathe deeply, and my mind felt calm.

Highly recommend Bec, a true professional in all she offers.”
