Nikki Jongedyk
Remedial massage therapist and lymphoedema practitioner
I have been practicing as a masseuse for over 10 years. I completed my Diploma in Remedial Massage in 2022. In May 2023, I qualified as a Lymphoedema Practitioner. I hold certificates in Swedish, Trigger Point, Dry needling, Myofascial cupping, Deep Tissue massage and am member of the Massage & Myotherapy Australia.
I discovered my passion for massage during my former career as a veterinary nurse and certified animal trainer. I was initially drawn to massage to help break the ‘self-indulgence versus self-care’ stigma. A big advocate for consistent, monthly care, I enjoy creating a safe place for people to have some time out, focus on their own health, and reduce both their physical and mental stresses.
“I like connecting with my clients, ensuring they feel heard and understand their treatment plan. I encourage clients to continue their self-care in their everyday life, so that they can live life to the fullest. Whether it be a maintenance session, a de-stress relaxation session, or a specific injury that needs rehab – I am honored to be a part of each individual’s journey”.
My next step as a therapist is further training in the area of Lymphatic Drainage. I will be teaming up with a specialist to broaden my skill set and am endeavoring to expand the equipment used to treat Oedema and scar tissue.
I moved from South Australia to Margaret River with my husband. We have recently relocated to Horrocks. I love being in the water; finding that it is emotionally cleansing, it gets my body moving and water activities motivate me to stretch and stay fit. I value how my personal interest in movement and fitness augments my professional training.
