massage therapist perth WA

 

My name is Birgitta Wright (Gitta). massage therapist perth WA

 

I am Swiss-German and live permanently in Australia since December 2003. I worked in various rehabilitation clinics in Switzerland and have a wide range of experience in the different fields of rehabilitation. My original overseas-qualification  (please see below under 'EDUCATION') is not recognised in Australia.

 

Since February 2004 I work as a Soft Tissue Therapist and Personal Trainer in Perth. As a member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society (ATMS) I am recognised for Remedial Massage Therapy. Health Fund contributions are therefore available from most funds.


My philosophy is simple:         

     

Get the client better


There are many roads which lead to a better health – and combining whatever technique and advice is necessary to benefit my client’s conditions is my main focus. 

In recent years I have developed a very unique approach to improve the well-being of my clients and my original education and training now only serve me as a background knowledge.

Natural remedies and a holistic approach are currently the main focus of my work.
