Somatic Massage Thornbury with Mike at Onaya. Somatic therapy, breathwork, bodywork and sound for people who want to stop reacting on autopilot and start responding with presence.
Somatic Massage Thornbury: working with the body, not just the mind
Somatic massage brings awareness into bodywork. Rather than only working on muscles, it invites you to notice what you are feeling as tension releases, so the body and nervous system can reorganise in a safer way.
What happens in a somatic massage session
Sessions blend slow, attentive touch with breath and body awareness. Mike checks in with you throughout, and you stay in control of the pace and depth of the work at all times.
You remain aware, in control and supported throughout, and every session is tailored to you. Learn more about our myofascial energetic release.
Who somatic massage is for
Somatic massage is for people who want more than relaxation, those who sense their tension is connected to stress, emotion or old patterns and want to work with it gently.
- Catching yourself before you shut down or react
- Staying present in conversations that would normally overwhelm you
- Letting your body soften instead of constantly bracing
- More space to choose how you respond in the moment
Somatic Massage for Thornbury clients
Onaya started out working with clients in Thornbury and Melbourne’s inner north, and many people from Thornbury, Northcote, Preston, Fairfield and Alphington continue their sessions with Mike at his studio in North Warrandyte. It is an easy drive out to the bush, and many clients find the trip part of the reset.
Getting started
The best first step is a free connection call, so we can talk about what you are looking for and whether this work is right for you. From there, many clients begin with the 3-Session Intro Series ($500), which gives your body and nervous system time to settle into the work and start to shift.
