Why ‘slow health’?

Anxious, time-poor, stressed - call it what you will, there’s a lot going on in our collective nervous systems right now. At Slow Health Co. we specialise in restorative massage, allowing the body and mind a chance to rest and recover.

This is intentionally not sports massage, it’s not remedial massage. This is not only about our muscles and bones, or about alleviating pain from injury. Slow Health Co. purposefully focuses on the parasympathetic nervous system - soothing those fight or flight responses that we are so often over-using in our daily lives.

There will be no causing the body to recoil, no bruising elbows pushing into trigger points. At Slow Health Co. we recognise that fascia and muscle fibres respond to warmth and to firm, steady pressure.

Book an appointment to experience massage therapy designed to alleviate stress and give the body and mind a chance to rest and recover. We’re dedicated to creating a warm, safe, kind space - a space to slow down and breathe.

Who’s behind the name?

Slow Health Co. has been created by Morwynne, a massage therapist with a passion for finding calm among the chaos. Born by the sea in an Atlantic storm, Morwynne has always understood a thing or two about feeling unsettled. Having finally learned how to breathe well, calming her own nervous system, she brings half a lifetime’s worth of experience to her practice. A calm, confident practitioner, Morwynne is delighted to now be living and working in the beautiful, ever-changing surrounds of lutruwita/Tasmania.
