About Aubrey E. Garcia
A Journey of Healing – and Helping Others Heal
Aubrey earned her Diploma in Remedial Massage Therapy in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. While studying full-time, she also worked part-time as a barista and waitress. In between school and work, she found time to train at her local boxing gym – a lifestyle that eventually led to an overuse injury. During her first semester, she developed bursitis in her right shoulder, an experience that deeply shaped her approach to massage therapy.
Treating clients while managing her own injury was both painful and humbling. She experienced firsthand the frustration of trying to maintain daily routines while living with pain. Recovery took time and dedication – including massage therapy, acupuncture, physiotherapy, and self-guided rehab. That journey gave her a lasting empathy for those navigating similar paths.
Today, Aubrey brings that lived experience to her practice. She’s passionate about helping clients manage their pain and support their recovery through Remedial Massage Therapy.
What is Remedial Massage Therapy?
Remedial Massage is a targeted, therapeutic approach that addresses muscular pain, tension, and injuries affecting tendons, ligaments, and soft tissue. It blends a variety of advanced techniques, including:
- PNF stretching
- Trigger Point Therapy
- Myofascial Release
- Deep Tissue Massage
Each session begins and ends with assessments to evaluate joint and muscle range of motion. These tests help measure progress and ensure the treatment is effectively supporting your rehabilitation and recovery goals.
Inspired by Legacy
When asked what led her to pursue massage therapy, Aubrey shares,
“I aspire to be like my late grandmother, who passed away at ninety-nine—just two months shy of her hundredth birthday. She was a revered healer in her village, known for her work as a massage therapist. To follow in her footsteps is both an honor and a deep responsibility. I don’t take lightly the trust placed in me when someone allows me to work closely and hands-on to support their healing journey.”
