About the owner
Linda Marie Klaassen
When I was a very young child, I remember helping my mother with her back pain by regularly massaging her back. I developed a strong desire/passion to help others. I find my job extremely rewarding and joyful. I love celebrating the successes and improvements with my clients.I have maintained a very healthy lifestyle and I enjoy inspiring and educating others. I am a proud mother of 3 sons who have Autism, ADHD, severe anxiety, Sensory Processing Disorder and ODD. My challenging personal journey has made a much better mother and Therapist. I am better able to help others through my personal experiences.
I graduated in Bachelor of Science [Exercise Sport Science] at the University of Sydney in 2001. I then went onto completing my diploma in Remedial Massage and 5 other certificates in massage. I completed certificate 4 in Training and Assessment. I completed certificate 3 and 4 in Fitness Instructor and i was a group fitness/aerobic instructor, teaching boxing, aqua aerobics, spin/cycling, step aerobics, pilates, yoga, tai chi, body pump, body combat, body jam and circuits.
While i worked as an aerobics instructor at many gyms i worked for Physiotherapy clinics providing hydrotherapy, massage, injury rehabilitation, workers compensation, DVA and Medicare services and gym-based exercise programs. I slowly crossed over to working with individuals with disabilities in particular brain injuries. I found it thoroughly rewarding and i enjoyed the challenge. Now i provide services to many individuals with mental health, vision impairments, huntington’s disease, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, downs syndrome, dementia, autism, depression/anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia and much more. I try my very best to maximise safety, reduce pain, meet their individual needs and personal goals. I absolutely love my job and making a difference through helping others. I try my best to create a fun and positive environment and i participate in the exercises with my clients for greater compliance and enjoyment.I am a certified member of Exercise Sport Science Association [ESSA] and Australian Traditional Medicine Society [ATMS].
