Paea brings…

Paea has worked for more than 20 years as a professional contemporary dancer, performer, choreographer and movement teacher to all bodies and levels. She is a mother, a body therapist and a writer. She meets each client, bodily, where they are; drawing from a rich base of accumulated and embodied knowledges learnt through dance and experiential, as well as evidence-based, studies of anatomy, via Body Mind Centering (BMC), Iyengar yoga practice and, currently, university study in the field of Osteopathic Medicine. Her focus is on relieving symptoms; opening time for the body to yield to the ground, the nervous system to unhold, and breath to slow down. Ultimately, to encourage free flowing circulation of all fluids through the body systems. Through focussed touch, compassion and advice on functional movement, she hopes to support the permeation of self-healing through the great sea of (each) body.

Where can I find PAEA?

Paea offers sessions on Saturdays at ‘29’ – a community clinic, @ 29 High St, Kyneton between 8am and 1pm (later times available).

Home visits are available on Fridays and Mondays – Melbourne CBD or Macedon
ranges – by negotiation.

Sessions in Melbourne CBD are TBC – and will likely commence by May 2023.

You can contact Paea via mobile phone, email or facebook.

PAEA says…

“We live in a world that is desperate to name ailments of the body. We tend toward
the reduction of our identity to our biography. Many of us seek something for our
body that is more direct, honest, grounding, non-analytical and slow.

As a dancer, I understand the world through movement; I think through my body. I
would like to help reunite you with your own sensing feeling body. To support
freedom from being told how we are, and what we lack, and movement toward
realising that agency is an embodied reality; it is something we feel.

I believe intuition is a form of intelligence; binding the concrete things we can know
to be true (bones, ligaments, functions) to the bigger field of the everything we
cannot. I ask myself; how can I meet you where you are with compassion and
wisdom? How can the work quieten and support your system to allow energy to flow,
as a rivulet between the rocks? Richness is possible. Loving kindness can be real”.

What others are saying:

“Intuitive, sensitive, mindful, visceral, loving, nurturing, wise… Paea is one of the most gifted physical therapists around. Her Zen Shiatsu practice returns me to my body time and again, leaving me feeling grounded, balanced and more deeply in tune with my inner and outer worlds. Whether you’re wanting to heal ailments in the body or you’re after a gorgeous, indulgent practice (it’s even more divine than a massage), I strongly recommend Paea.  As one of Australia’s finest contemporary dancers, she brings a wealth of knowledge around the rhythms of the human body to her practice, and is a beautiful practitioner to be in flow with“.
