About Us

Who are we?

MarisSage Remedial therapies is a boutique clinic in the heart of Epping of Sydney’s Upper North Shore. We are passionate about making a difference for people and inspire a healthy well-balanced life, so you can do the things you LOVE and create a memorable life.

We offer an integrated approach of Swedish massage, deep tissue, sports massage, trigger points, tapotement, passive stretches, and reflexology or acupressure points, into an effective personalized treatment, choosing the most appropriate techniques to suit your body.

We believe touch is an essential part of life. The power of touch can transform how we feel, perform, act and achieve. Every person is unique in our eyes. No body is the same. No circumstance alike.

How will we help you?

Our focus is on getting results, finding the right spots, reducing or eliminating pain and restoring functioning to enable you to do things you thought you couldn’t do anymore.

History and Assessment

To create an effective outcome and understand you and the cause of your pain or the dysfunction that you like addressed, we like to get the full picture.

We will ask you about your medical history, lifestyle and stress levels and, if needed, perform a physical assessment to identify and treat you focused on your specific and individual needs.

We listen to your story, assess and palpate the specific area to identify which area of soft tissue needs treating.

Your Treatment

Our experienced therapists will fine-tune each treatment selecting the most relevant massage techniques, adapting the right pressure that will assist your body to return to normal health & functioning.

During treatment, we check in with you to communicate pressure levels. Feedback is valuable for us to provide the best treatment and choose the techniques that work for you. Taking note of your feedback during, after and in between sessions we adapt it to any changing requirements.

We encourage you to make the change last, by offering individualized advice on exercises and stretches to perform between sessions in order to encourage recovery, and to make the changes last!!

All our therapists follow a code of conduct of their massage association and are recognised by all health funds.

Products

Most treatments require the use of natural oil or cream. All our oils are natural and can be blended with essential oils supporting your treatment.

We have options for allergen and nut free ‘lotions and potions’ stocked.

For aftercare, we have organic herbal Epsom soaks and hot rubs or heat packs available to purchase.

Mariska is my favourite masseuse in the whole world! She puts time and effort into understanding what each of her clients need- not just in the sense that she listens to you, but she watches your body and figures out the areas that might be extra tight, or in pain, or are out of alignment. Then she sets about fixing it. In that way you aren't just going to find relief short term, but over the long term you'll find you get better and better, so you're less reliant on massages for pain relief! She is intuitive about what your needs are in each individual session too- for example, we often chat which is a lot of fun (Mariska is clever and engaging and thoughtful about life) but there have been times when I have been very stressed and very tired and in those sessions Mariska was very quiet and I almost fell asleep- just what I needed. I'm not sure how she created such a haven amidst the hustle and bustle of Epping town centre, but that's exactly what she's done. If you're anywhere nearby, I urge you to take advantage of Mariska's magical hands! And if you're not nearby, it's worth the trip :)read more

Mariska is wonderful! I am so glad I found her. I went to her with chronic back pain due to work stress, bad posture and a prolonged accident injury (whiplash). She was able to quickly identify which area was causing the most pain and helped rectify it with monthly sessions. She is also educated which provides her credibility in the area of expertise. Along with massages, she also reccomends positive lifestyle changes for life lasting effects.read more

Mariska really helped me. She didn’t just give me healing massages (she got all the 147 knots out of my shoulder, arm and wrist), she also helped me deal with my questions on how to deal with my temporary impairment. She has a holistic approach and is clear in what she finds and in her messages. She has a good understanding of how the body works and helped me fix mine, for which I am very thankful.read more

The best relaxation massage I've had in a very long time! I found the place a bit tricky to find at first, but I went onto the Marissage website and found directions at the top of the homepage, so I soon found the quaint little cottage hidden behind the office buildings. It's quiet and private, so you feel a world away and can really switch off. Mariska is very friendly and great at what she does because I left feeling so relaxed and energised. Definitely going back again!read more
