My name is Annalise Friend, and Soul Glow Body Therapy is my baby!

My study of the body is 25 years deep, including movement, yoga and Body Mind Centering. This has refined my sensitivity to the qualities of many aspects of the body such as the bones, muscles and nerves.

I will complete my Diploma in Remedial Massage in October 2025, including anatomical training and injury protocols.

I completed Collective Trauma Healing courses in 2020 and 2021 and continue to learn about regulating trauma responses.

I experienced conditions with intense symptoms and chronic pain for 30 years: endometriosis, adenomyosis, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. This deepened my compassion for fellow sufferers of chronic conditions as they navigate symptoms, surgeries and healthcare systems.

In fact, I offer a free massage once a month to a single Mum or someone experiencing endometriosis, adenomyosis or premenstrual dysphoric disorder. If that’s you, get in touch.

My experiences having children also strengthened my empathy for clients who are pregnant and postpartum. I will complete a Certificate of Pregnancy Massage in September 2025. Questions about getting a massage while pregnant? Get in touch.

I have a current Working With Children Check, National Police Check, First Aid Certificate and Public Liability and Professional Indemnity insurance.

My approach as a massage therapist is grounded in my compassionate, calming presence. I invite you to deep rest with me to recharge that soul glow.
