Yes. Treatments are delivered by an experienced remedial massage therapist who is a member of the Australian Natural Therapists Association (ANTA). That registration is also what allows your treatment to be eligible for HICAPS health-fund claims. You can read more about the studio and how we work on our about page.

Your session begins with a short, relaxed chat about how you are feeling and what you would like to work on. Your therapist then tailors the treatment to you in a private, quiet room, and finishes with simple aftercare advice. There is no need to bring anything except your health-fund card if you would like to claim via HICAPS. Our guide to getting the most from your massage covers what helps before and after a session.

You only undress to your comfort level. You are always covered with towels or a sheet, and only the area being worked on is uncovered at any time. Your therapist will step out while you get settled on the table, and your privacy and comfort come first throughout.

Fern & Soul is a single-therapist studio, and your treatment will be with our female remedial massage therapist. She is a member of the Australian Natural Therapists Association (ANTA), and your comfort and privacy come first throughout the session. Read more about the studio.

No referral is needed. You can book a remedial massage directly online, choosing your treatment, duration and time yourself. If your GP or physiotherapist has suggested massage, just mention it at the start of your session so your therapist can work with that in mind.

Yes — new clients complete a short health intake form before their first treatment. It covers relevant health history, any conditions or medications, and your treatment preferences, so your therapist can work safely and comfortably. You can fill it in online beforehand to save time on the day.

Remedial massage is targeted, therapeutic treatment for muscular tension, injury recovery and chronic pain — it works on a specific problem area. Relaxation massage is a flowing, full-body massage with warm stones, designed to calm the nervous system and ease everyday stress rather than focusing on a particular injury. If you are not sure which suits you, our plain-English guide to remedial versus relaxation massage walks through both, and your therapist will help you decide at the start of your session.

Fern & Soul offers a dedicated pregnancy massage — a gentle, supported treatment tailored to the comfort and safety of expecting mothers. As with any treatment during pregnancy, if you have any pregnancy-related health concerns it is sensible to check with your doctor or midwife first. Massage is complementary care and is not a substitute for medical advice.

Massage can help ease the muscular tension that often contributes to lower-back discomfort and sciatic-related pain. We offer a focused sciatica massage that works through the lower back, glutes and legs, as well as remedial and deep tissue treatments for general muscular pain. For persistent or severe pain, it is best to also have it assessed by a GP or physiotherapist.

It depends on what you are working on. For a specific injury or area of chronic tension, more regular sessions can help in the early stages; for general wellbeing and stress relief, many people come monthly or as needed. Your therapist can suggest a rhythm that suits your body and your goals, and you can book your next massage online whenever it suits.

They overlap, and your therapist will often use both in one session. Remedial massage is the broader treatment — it assesses a specific problem area and works to ease tension and support recovery. Deep tissue is a technique within that: slower, firmer pressure through the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, with trigger-point release for stubborn tight spots. If you are unsure which to book, book remedial and describe what you are feeling on the day.

Myofascial cupping uses gentle suction cups to lift and decompress the fascia — the connective tissue that wraps around muscle — alongside hands-on massage. It can help release tightness and support mobility, and it is often combined with remedial work rather than booked on its own. Sessions are 45 or 60 minutes.

Sessions run from 30 to 90 minutes. Most treatments — remedial, relaxation with hot stones, sports and reflexology — offer 30, 45 and 60 minute options, with 75 and 90 minutes available on several. Pregnancy massage is 60 minutes, facial and head massage is 30 or 45 minutes, and lymphatic drainage starts at 60 minutes. Full durations and prices are on the services page.

No. Fern & Soul is a boutique single-therapist studio, so we treat one client at a time in a private room. If you would like to book for two people, you are welcome to book back-to-back appointments, or a gift voucher lets someone choose their own time.

Yes. Fern & Soul has HICAPS on site, so if your extras cover includes remedial massage you can claim your rebate on the spot and pay only the gap. We accept claims from recognised Australian health funds, including HBF, Medibank, Bupa and NIB. The exact rebate depends on your individual level of cover, so it is worth checking your policy — our guide to claiming massage on your health fund explains what to bring and what to check.

Treatments start from $70, with prices depending on the type of massage and the duration you choose. For example, a 60-minute remedial, relaxation or deep tissue massage is $110. You can see the full menu of treatments, durations and prices on our services page.

No — Medicare does not cover remedial massage. Private health insurance with extras cover often does, and we have HICAPS in the studio so you can claim on the spot and pay only the gap. What you get back depends on your fund and your level of extras cover.
