About Me

Hello and welcome to Thrive.

A little bit about me, Renée. I am currently based in Warrnambool, Victoria and am a registered nurse specialising in NICU. I have worked with premature and extremely unwell babies for 8 years in NICU's and SCN's in Victoria as well as nursing in England. I now have two young children and finding the shift work challenging, was ready to do something extra to complement my current work when I came across the incredible benefits offered by massage in the paediatric population. As a NICU nurse I am passionate about empowering parents to be active in their children's care so educating on massage is a natural continuation of holistic care.

I look forward to working with families to get the most out of their sessions and improve their little ones wellbeing.
