About Carolyn…

Hi, I am the owner of Shambhala Health & Healing which has been established here in Venus Bay since 2003.

I have been working as a Remedial & Relaxation Massage Therapist since 1995, having achieved my qualifications at the (then) Eastern School of Tactile Therapies. I spent the first nine years in Melbourne, gaining considerable experience working in massage clinics, healing centres, health spas and private practice. After establishing my business in Venus Bay, I also began working in other clinics in Leongatha and Fish Creek with other Remedial Massage Therapists, Chiropractors, and Physiotherapists.

I started practicing yoga in 1992 and attained my first Yoga Teaching qualification in 2004 at Yoga Arts in Byron Bay. My personal Ashtanga practice has exposed me to many teachers including Melbourne based Ashtanga teacher Karyn Grenfell.  Yoga has also taken me to the Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Mysore India, and to Bali and northern NSW to do extensive studies with Ashtanga teachers Gregor Maehle & Monica Gauci.  I teach both Hatha & Ashtanga style yoga and have been running classes in Venus Bay & Fish Creek for many years.

I am extremely passionate about both Massage & Yoga, and how much they contribute to good health & well-being. Both these modalities have taken me on an amazing journey so far and I cannot imagine life without them.  I look forward to helping you on your massage & yoga path!!

Om shanti, Carolyn.
