Kristie is the owner and creator of Peachy. She has been a professional massage therapist for the past 10 years and has studied massage since she was 15 years old. She is also a Beauty Therapist. Peachy is the culmination of many years of dedication to the natural health and beauty industry.
At the beginning of her career, Kristie wanted to create a place where clients and therapists were respected and a meeting of both relaxation and enjoyment came about. After working for many years under the banner of many other massage and natural health establishments Kristie finally realised that she would have to go on her own to find a place where her vision might truly be met. Thus Peachy was born. Taking from her love of 1950's iconography, Peachy is word that really sums up the feeling that Kristie wants each and every client to have when they visit the clinic. She wants all clients to feel happy, to feel good, to be relaxed and comfortable. That’s what Peachy is all about.
Kath - IS Currently on Maternity Leave :)
My name is Kathrin Luethi. I moved to Australia in 2004 from my home country of Switzerland where I have been working as a paediatric Occupational Therapist. Moving to the other side of the globe I then decided more or less by accident to change my career and in 2006 I finished my Certificate IV of Massage Therapy at the Australian Institute of Applied Science in Brisbane. I am currently studying for my Diploma. I am enjoying the versatility of being a massage therapist and am interested in general remedial treatments, sports treatments as well as pregnancy and infant massage.
Becoming a mum of my daughter in 2007 I started to become more and more interested in pregnancy and infant massage. The first time I heard about infant massage was through Frederic Leboyer’s book ‘Loving Hands’ years ago. I never forgot the beautiful pictures in it and since then I intended to learn this art for my own children one day. Being convinced that massage is a great positive and gentle way to bond and learn to know about your baby’s and child’s needs I decided to become an Infant Massage Instructor myself to teach other parents about it.
Parents that are coming to my infant massage course will be able to use the learned massage routine on their infants and older children and learn about cues and daily routine of their babies. Infant massage will not only teach them massage strokes but also give them more confidence in understanding their baby’s needs and therefore hopefully help them to be more relaxed parents.
