Using the warming properties of red pepper balanced with cooling essential oils to reduce inflammation, your therapist works way down to the deeper band of muscle tissue, delving into the offending problem areas, therefore helping to relieve chronic pain, muscle tension and sporting injuries.

The Arts Centre and Mixtape Theatre Collective present
Escape from the Breakup Forest
By Steve Pirie

Boy Meets Girl
Girl Leaves Boy
Boy Meets Puppet

A comedy about getting over yourself.
When Josh’s first love Emma calls it quits, his world shrinks to an existence of floor-based cereal dinners, trying not to punch co-workers in the face and that eternal hollow feeling in the chest.

Banished to the “Breakup Forest” Josh, together with his hand puppet spirit guide Curly, embarks on an epic quest to escape the home of the terminally dumped.
Heartbreak is coming to the Gold Coast this May.

Featuring Steve Pirie, Ell Sachs and Dan Stewart
Directed by Claire Christian and Ari Palani

Stand the fish upright with a bent tail in a deep fryer and fry for around 5-8 mins depending on the size of the fish or until crispy golden brown, stand on top of your choice of vegetables E.G Crispy Leeks, Bean Sprouts, Spanish Onions, Parsley & Thyme.

Once fish is cooked stand on top of vegetables and ladel with apple pear glaze and chilli jam to your liking and bake at 175 Degrees for 5 mins and serve.

I have been lucky enough to have worked at a wide range of Spas across Australia focusing on organic and Natural wellbeing, which in turn has to lead me to my true passion of educating my guests on how to look after their bodies from the inside out.

My favourite SpaQ treatment would have to be the Skin Rescue treatments because it’s the ultimate pampering session form head to toe!

Being a Sydney girl I love spending my days off exploring the Gold Coast, you will often find me sitting in a Cafe in Burleigh, trying to fit in with the cool kids .

I hope to see you all very soon

Likewise a massage post ski-workout helps to break-down the build up of lactic acid that occurs when muscles have worked hard and reduces the onset of muscle soreness.  Add to this our magic Uspa potion of Thermal Red Pepper applied during a remedial style massage and we’ll have you back on the slopes in no time!

1 You’ll be less likely to get sick.        In one well-known study, folks with more diverse social connections were less susceptible to colds than those who were socially isolated.

2 You may sleep better.

Being lonely leads to restless sleep, a University of Chicago study suggests: The lonelier you are, the more you toss and turn.

3 You’ll stay sharper.

Having strong social support may cut your risk of cognitive decline, according to several studies.

4 You could live longer.

People with stronger social connections were 50% more likely to live longer than those with weaker connections, a 2010 analysis found. That makes the impact of friendlessness comparable to that of smoking.

With all that said, get your closest gals or guys together and double the positive effect on your health by social spa-ing at spa!   Check out our group packages – get social and healthy at spaQ!!
