About Lucinda

Meet Lucinda

I’m the founder of Origins Massage And Wellness Therapy, and more recently, Twig & Leaf Meditation.

I’m a highly trained and experienced Remedial Massage Therapist, Meditation Teacher & Mentor and Reiki Master.

I specialise in working with busy small business owners and neurodivergent adults, who want to learn about and prioritise their wellbeing. I also help my clients to develop an individualised self-care plan, with simple techniques and help them to create a sense of self-compassion.

As a busy “soul”-preneur, juggling two businesses, study and having a family, I understand the importance of work/life balance and how challenging that can be.

By using a holistic, bespoke, approach, I strive to help my clients find the right techniques and tools to help them to feel more empowered to take control of their own wellbeing.

I also understand the impact that injury or chronic illness (physical & mental) can have on a person’s state of wellness. I work with my clients to help in them recovery and assist them to be better able to function on a day-to-day basis.

Outside of my business, I’m a Meditation Mentor at the Australian Centre for Meditation and Mindfulness (ACMM), mentoring students as they progress through the core sessions of the Certificate through to the Diploma course, and is the lead mentor of the Elective, Bringing Mindfulness Home.

Lucinda’s Journey

My journey began in the late 1990’s, where I was working in a demanding and stressful job, causing me to feel constantly unwell and exhausted.

It wasn’t until one of my mentors said the following words, that it finally hit home:

“You cannot pour from an empty cup”

By creating more time for regular self-care, I started seeing a variety of natural health specialists (Naturopaths, Integrative Health, Bowen Therapist) and things began to improve.

Retraining as a Therapeutic Massage Therapist (2005) and since then I have been gradually expanding my skill set. Over the last 20 years, I’ve trained as a Remedial Massage Therapist, Bowen Therapist, Reiki Master, Pregnancy Massage Specialist and lastly, in 2020, a Meditation Teacher/Mentor

For over 20 years, Lu has helped others reach their wellness goals.

Strength

I’m known for my patience, attention to detail and I do genuinely care about my clients. I have the ability to listen and hear what my clients tell me, sets me apart.

Everyone is unique, everyone has their own individual needs. I’m constantly learning new techniques and modalities, so that I can provide my clients with the best holistic therapies to suit their individual needs.

I love working with my clients, I’m passionate about helping them find their own work/life balance, to help them to feel better, move better and to empower them to take control of their own wellbeing.

Personal

During my “downtime”, I love keeping active by getting outdoors, gardening, spending time with my family, going for walks with my doggos (a walk usually involves buying a coffee to take on the way!).

I do believe in practicing what I preach, I do maintain myself with regular massage & other natural therapies, training sessions, yoga and, of course, meditation and mindfulness, which helps me to keep functioning and maintains my overall wellbeing for everyday life.

Regular, daily Meditation & Reiki practice is a big part of my life, as it helps me to remain centred, calm, and better able to handle life’s little hiccups. As I say: “Life’s Swings and Round-a-Bouts”.
