Mariska Smits – Remedial Massage & Reflexology Therapist, and Life Coach

Hello, I’m Mariska, an enthusiastic compassionate remedial massage -, reflexology therapist, and life coach with 15 years plus experience in helping you find relief from muscle tension, recover from injury, or simply unwind. Specialising in remedial and pregnancy massage, along with reflexology, my practice emphasizes restoring physical and emotional balance through therapeutic touch and reflexology principles rooted in a deep understanding of anatomy and natural healing processes.

With a passion for holistic wellness and a background as a maternity nurse, I integrate therapeutic massage techniques and a fusion of western and Chinese reflexology principles to relieve, relax and restore physical aches, pains and discomforts. My approach is rooted in a deep understanding of anatomy and the body’s natural healing processes, allowing me to tailor treatments that address specific needs and promote overall well-being.

I’m particularly committed to supporting mothers throughout their fertility and pregnancy journey. With advanced training in pre- and post-natal massage and maternity reflexology, my aim is to enhance relaxation, alleviate discomfort, restore homeostasis, and promote well-being before, during pregnancy and after childbirth.

In addition to my hands-on therapies, I am a dedicated life coach and NLP practitioner empowering individuals on their path to personal growth and fulfilment. Guiding you through life transitions, unlocking your potential, and facilitating meaningful change. Integrating complementary therapies and coaching, my approach involves deep listening, insightful questioning, and proven strategies to help you achieve your goals.

My offerings combine therapeutic touch and reflexology techniques, available as standalone treatments or combined with coaching sessions.

As a member of ATMS (Australian Traditional Medicine Society) and recognized by all major private health funds, I uphold high standards of professional practice and ensure accessibility for my clients. Being affiliated with ATMS signifies my commitment to adhering to ethical guidelines and continuing education in the field of holistic therapies.

Overall, my warmth, attentiveness, and genuine enthusiasm makes me a valued partner in your journeys toward improved health, vitality, and facilitating positive sustainable changes in your health and life.

Whether you seek relief from physical discomfort, emotional balance, seeking clarity on your life’s path, or guidance in achieving your life goals, I’m here to support you on your journey to holistic well-being and transformation in nurturing a harmonious connection between mind, body, and spirit.

  • If you want to go to heaven and back, visit this place. Mariska has a healing touch and fixed tension in my back and hips that no one else could. I saw her while pregnant and postpartum and her pregnancy massages helped my back pain so much. Her postnatal massage was absolutely incredible and really helped my body and mind heal from the birth. It also helped my back pain associated with breastfeeding immensely.

  • I have had an issue in my neck and shoulder which restricted certain movements for me. I have had two sessions with Mariska so far and the results and amazing. She is a very professional and knowledgeable person. she analyses the issue in absolute detail and works the areas to heal so well. I highly recommend Marissage for the services they offer. It has been by far my best experience in actually healing through massage therapies.

  • I had a session today with Marisa and I tell you, she has an amazing touch. Her care was obvious in her massage, her understanding of body autonomy is outstanding and was evident in the way she handled my body. I don't trust people easily when it comes to my body, but with her I was able to let go from the first go!

  • I've been coming to MarisSage since mid April 2022. Initially I went in and saw Mariska for a neck/shoulder strain/injury that had been bothering me for over 2 years. I had received other therapies for it, and nothing made a difference. A day after the first massage session, I was about 90% better. After the 2nd session I was pretty much back to normal. It is not hyperbole to say that Mariska really saved me. I've since gone back to her and the other girls at the clinic for regular maintenance massages and myofascial release, all with positive results. The team there are all very talented therapists. Thank you Mariska and the team for all of your help with my health.

  • I’m 35 weeks pregnant and had a wonderful massage with Anna. My body feels so much better and all my aches and pains have gone. I’ve slept comfortably ever since. I can’t wait to have another just before my baby is due to make sure my body is in the best condition possible for labour.

  • I booked in massage with Chelsea who specilises in sport related injuries. She is superb and amazing at deep tissue nassaage, I booked in 3 sessions with her and she always worked on the sports with the most pain and I never had to explain her. That good she was with the massage and touch point. She relieved all the pain that I had due to post pregnancy and continuous body aches resulting from after care and feeding the baby. To be honest, I felt like hugging her after every session as she made me so relaxed and the pains got better with each session. I am defininately going to book more massages with her in case I need relaxation. Thank you!
