Kristen has always been drawn to helping others, and combined with a curiosity of the human body and an interest in problem solving she began her path into massage therapy early. What started as giving massages to her family as a youngster has turned into a lifelong passion.

Kristen first studied at The Melbourne College of Natural Medicine, and then completed the Diploma of Remedial Therapies at The Melbourne Institute of Massage in 2003. She has since gained certificates in cupping and gua sha, manual lymphatic drainage, and myofascial release. 

Kristen has steadily grown her business over the years while working from, and then taking ownership of Five Elements, as well as collaborating with The Melbourne Business School for their executive MBA program students, and The Salvation Army crisis accommodation. 

While her focus is on remedial and deep tissue massage, she brings a warm and open approach to each treatment, with an aim to helping you achieve better health rather than a quick fix. With over 20 years of clinical experience and a range of different skills, she looks to tailor each treatment to your individual needs. 

At home, Kristen is a keen baker, an enthusiastic (but not very successful) gardener, and has a strong passion for travel, always planning the next adventure!
