Healing Through Experience:
Words from my Clients
Real stories from those who have experienced the benefits of holistic bodywork. From pain relief to deep relaxation, hear how personalised treatments have supported their wellbeing and recovery.
"I first saw Emily years ago, postoperatively upon the recommendation of my orthopaedic surgeon to aid in soft tissue rehabilitation, and she helped me immensely."
"Since then, I have had ongoing sessions with her every week or two for several other issues which have come up, mainly related to tension headache and musculoskeletal neck and back tightness from working too much.
I have found her to be an outstanding body work practitioner, who has a wide field of expertise in several treatment modalities including foot mobilisation, reflexology, massage therapy, and auriculotherapy.
She also gathers and creates her own herbal remedies and ointments, which have won awards, and I can personally attest to the effectiveness of. To me she feels like the medicine woman healer of the olden days, to whom everyone came to for physical and spiritual healing.
She is a genuinely lovely and kind person whom I look forward to seeing every visit. It is the highlight of my week. She has become a valuable part of my every day life and I hope she continues her fantastic work for many years to come."
– Michael Chen
“Emily first came to my attention through a shared patient who was attending for treatment following foot surgery. The patient stated that her healing and recovery was greatly enhanced by regular foot therapy and massage with Emily."
"Curious, I too visited Emily and have found her treatment and care to be most beneficial, informed, professional and holistic. I have since referred other patients to Emily for treatment with great results and can recommend her highly.”
– Dr Debra Wilson
"Emily is clearly a very caring and experienced bodywork therapist with a number of strings to her bow: including reflexology, deep tissue and infra red heat. She has a really sensitive and intuitive gift for understanding where someone is at, what they need, and how to help them with massage. I come out of sessions rejuvenated, revitalised, relaxed and happy."
"For years, Ian and I had been looking for someone like her in order have regular massage treatments in Melbourne, and we are completely satisfied each time we leave her healing hands. We highly recommend her body therapy treatments, as she is excellent in her skills and professionalism.”
– Dr Ruth Gawler
“From the moment you step into Emily’s “aura” it’s like being encased in a sanctuary of pure zen. Her care, passion, love and knowledge goes well beyond these written words."
"Emily has used her magic to not only alleviate my body’s aches and pains over the years but also to still my busy mind…..a near impossible feat!! It never ceases to amaze me how those extraordinary intuitive, strong but gentle hands can transport me to a place of peace and tranquillity and make me feel whole again."
– Cherie C
“I first met Emily Mckeever a few years ago due to a problem with my feet.
My orthopaedic surgeon suggested I see Emily for massage & foot exercises which I did. Emily started with my feet but I soon realised that I needed the rest of my body attended to as well."
"I can highly recommend Emily for massage therapy, she is very experienced & understands the human body & can work out exactly what you need very quickly.
I have a full body massage every month which I look forward to & now I have my husband seeing Emily as well.
Also the products - oils and creams, etc. are made by Emily, and so very luxurious.
Emily is a kind professional practitioner who is a great listener to get the best outcome possible.”
– Jennifer
“I have benefitted greatly from regular massage by Emily over more than fiteen years. In particular, my feet have been free from pain for the first time in my life.
I also enjoy Emily’s clean and peaceful workspace and the calm presence of Emily herself.”
– Patricia Duke
“I thoroughly recommend Emily – she is a wonderful reflexologist / massage therapist, who helped me tremendously during recovery from a serious foot injury."
"After several cortisone injections, my torn plantar-fascia in my right foot was marked for quite invasive surgery. I decided to seek an alternative path to treatment, even though I could barely walk, and went to see Emily.
Her treatment enabled me to embark on an exercise recuperation directed by an exercise physiologist. Without Emily’s help, I don’t think I could have undertaken or maintained my exercise programme.
Emily is the most delightful, caring and genuine person you could hope to meet, and her smile lights up the room. All marvellous attributes to make any pain or discomfort melt away.”
Anna Van Weel
“Emily was instrumental in aiding the recovery of both my broken wrist and later foot surgery. Through her special massage and simple exercises her gentle and sure hands truly worked miracles."
"I now do a maintenance program and after my treatment I always feel relaxed with a positive outlook and full confidence that my feet and hands are much better for having seen Emily.”
– Pauline Gheller
“For the past 20+ years I have suffered with chronic back and foot pain. I have visited numerous Medical personnel from Doctors, Chiropractors and Physiotherapists in the hope of finding someone who could help me without having to resort to medication."
"Since being recommended to Emily McKeever two years ago I have finally found that someone. Emily is very educated in her field and has a very pleasant, gentle and caring personality. She spends the time to individualise her treatments to suit her clients that helps me to relax and better understand the cause of my problem. I appreciate the extra effort Emily goes to so that I can be almost pain free.
I would strongly recommend Emily to anyone who is suffering from, any form of back or foot pain.”
– Donna Hines
“Emily has treated me for approximately 18 years from several locations. I have literally followed her. She starts the treatment by asking which areas are experiencing discomfort and works on these areas."
"She is extremely friendly, professional and has helped resolve my health / body issues. I would highly recommend her services to anyone.”
– Bev Wong
“Emily is a special person whose professionalism, knowledge and holistic approach to treatments, makes her a standout in her field. A session with her nourishes not just your body but also your soul."
"I am a 66 year old lady who used to hobble when I first got out of bed in the morning, and had constant pain in my feet when I walked. I also had weak ankles. Visits to a podiatrist and osteopath failed to resolve my issues.
About 3 years ago a friend recommended I consult with Emily. On my first meeting Emily put me at ease with her big bright smile, intuitive questions and knowledge. Her treatment room is cosy and calming, which provides a safe and supportive environment to freely express all emotions.
Emily massaged my feet and legs and gave me exercises to do at home. It only took a couple of visits for me to walk normally and be pain free. This has made a huge difference to my life.
I still visit Emily on a regular basis, not only for my feet but also for relaxation and remedial massages, depending on what I need at the time. I have given vouchers for her services to family and friends so that they too could benefit from her expertise and healing touch. A visit to Emily will be a rich and rewarding experience, and if you are like me, one that you will want to keep repeating.”
– Chris Cicutto
“I can wholeheartedly recommend Emily McKeever. She is a knowledgeable and skilled massage therapist and listens carefully to my concerns."
"I always feel so much better after one of her wonderful and restorative treatments. Thank you Emily!”
– Leigh K
“I began seeing Emily for treatments after a recommendation from a friend. At the time I had challenges with my feet and ankles, back and shoulders along with some stress related issues."
"After my first visit I knew I would be returning regularly as I experienced immediate relief from what had been both painful and chronic problems. Emily tailored each treatment to my needs employing a broad range of techniques. Whilst the physical relief was extensive (and most welcome) it was the marked changes to my stress conditions that I had the greatest appreciation for.
As the treatments continued I became healthier and happier. I experienced great relief, especially with the endocrine balancing which became a favourite.
Emily is a highly skilled, sensitive practitioner with a remarkable ability to sense which combination of treatment modalities will be most helpful during each visit.
She draws from an extensive range of techniques and training, is highly professional yet also very warm and caring. The treatment room is always meticulously clean and individualised using a combination of aroma, temperature and music.
If you are in need of an extraordinary healing massage experience, Emily is the practitioner to see.”
– Stephen Edwards
“Emily was recommended to me by a friend as a wonderful massage and reflexology therapist. I had been suffering from a sore shoulder that was unresponsive to cortisone or to physiotherapy."
"After a few treatments with Emily my shoulder was much improved. I now have monthly treatments because I feel my whole body benefits from her very special gift.”
– Margaret Woodgate
“Five and a half years ago a four-wheel drive ran over my left foot. I was lucky not to break any bones and didn’t require surgery, however I had to wear a “moon shoe” for three months. The orthopaedic surgeon recommended Emily for massage treatments."
"I have been seeing Emily on a regular basis ever since and my foot is doing very well. I also started to get treatment for my overworked hands. Once I went in and was very tight across the shoulders and I ended up having treatment on all three areas. My treatments continue regularly as it's such a relaxing and enjoyable experience as well as being a requirement.
I am so impressed with Emily, that I have recommended her to friends who are now regular clients also. It’s not just the massages, the room is warm and inviting and you can often fall asleep! The oils and ointments she uses are amazing and the bed and covers are always clean and fresh.
Emily’s warm and inviting personality also adds to the relaxation. If you wish to talk through the treatment you can, or you can switch off and enjoy some quiet time with the low volume music in the background.
Emily McKeever is definitely highly recommended.”
– Vanessa Tormey
“Totally recommend Emily for Reflexology and relaxation therapy. I enjoy a monthly visit for muscle and mind relaxation management. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.”
– Melissa McKay
"I had a frozen shoulder for about 5 months before going to see Emily. I could barely move without experiencing pain and trying to get dressed was extremely difficult. I had seen a physiotherapist about it but she insisted that I have cortisol injection as the answer but I was not keen."
"A friend of mine later referred Emily to me. Emily is a warm, nurturing and compassionate person. I went to see Emily for about four months starting with weekly visit to once every three or four weeks a few months later. My frozen shoulder which was very restricted started to feel better through her healing hands, without any injection. She also taught me incremental exercises which I could do at home as my shoulder movement improved.
The whole experience with Emily was holistic, nurturing and healing. I have always looked forward to my sessions with Emily and would highly recommend her to anyone."
