Qualifications and Experience
Colleen is a qualified, experienced massage therapist offering remedial and therapeutic massage at Weston Creek Chiropractic Centre. She is also our sole dry needling provider, using the technique to free deep, obstinate trigger points that firm pressure by hand does not always reach.
Colleen has spent years developing her craft as a massage therapist, and it shows in the confidence and care she brings to every treatment. Her core work is remedial and therapeutic massage, the kind aimed at a specific problem rather than general pampering, and over time she has earned a devoted client base who book with her again and again. In a field where trust is everything, a following like Colleen's speaks for itself.
What sets her apart within our team is her training in dry needling. She is the one therapist here qualified to offer it, using fine, single-use needles to reach and settle the tight bands that sit deep in a muscle and stay knotted despite firm hands-on work. Combined with her remedial skills, it gives her an extra tool for the more obstinate knots and helps explain why so many clients keep coming back to her by name. For anyone who has chased the same tight spot for months, that added option can make a real difference.
Colleen's Massage Style
Colleen's style is attentive and problem-focused. She takes time to find where the real trouble lies, works with purpose rather than to a set routine, and adjusts pressure and technique to suit you, adding dry needling when a trigger point calls for it.
Clients describe Colleen's work as thorough and genuinely effective. She does not simply run through a standard sequence; she listens to what is bothering you, uses her hands to find the areas that need attention, and works there with intent. Her remedial massage can be firm where a stubborn knot demands it and gentler elsewhere, always guided by what your body is telling her rather than a fixed template.
When a trigger point is not letting go under hands alone, Colleen can bring dry needling into the same session, reaching the tight spot more directly for a cleaner release. That flexibility, remedial work and dry needling from one experienced therapist, means the treatment can be shaped precisely around the problem you have walked in with, which is exactly what keeps her regulars loyal.
What Patients Say
Colleen's loyal following says a great deal on its own. Clients regularly praise how much better they feel after seeing her and how many come back specifically for her. You can read genuine, current feedback about our practitioners on our reviews page, where our live Google reviews appear in full.
The truest measure of any massage therapist is whether people come back, and Colleen's clients do, often for years and often on the recommendation of a friend or family member she has already helped. Rather than publish a handful of selected quotes here, we would rather point you to the real thing: our reviews page carries a live feed of genuine Google reviews from patients across the practice, unedited and up to date, so you can read honest impressions of our care in people's own words and judge for yourself.
