Your initial consultation is an extended session, to give us enough time to discuss your health and wellbeing and to get enough information that will lead me towards a better understanding of the underlying factors that might be contributing to your concerns.
After the initial consultation, a customised treatment plan is created for you.
Every person has a unique health history, no two people are the same.
All information shared are treated with the upmost confidence and it will not be shared to a third party without your written consent.
Disclaimer: Reflexologists do not diagnose, prescribe/ adjust medication or claim that they can cure a disease.
Jasmina Kotorac
My professional career started in Croatia as a physiotherapist. Since coming to Australia, I worked as a Physiotherapy Assistant in a Rehabilitation hospital, living my passion in looking after and caring for patients of all ages that were facing different health challenges and issues in neurology, orthopaedics and rheumatology.
Woman’s health has always been one of my strong interests, but since graduating, my focus grew into a wider interest in different reflexology modalities. This genuine interest has taken me into the next few years of intense studying to be able to offer a desired reflexology treatments to varied clientele.
I practice different reflexology modalities; traditional and TCM foot reflexology, facial reflexology, Reproductive and Fertility Reflexology, Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage.
I specialise in Neuro Facial Reflexology (Sorensensistem), a unique and very effective complementary holistic therapy that uses the bases of Chinese Traditional Medicine, Acupressure points, Oriental Energy Meridians together with the Modern Neuro- Anatomy to help improve the underlying imbalances which often manifest in our bodies in the form of physical, mental, hormonal and/or emotional issues.
Always wanting to help my clients in achieving their desired health and wellbeing goals, I place a great importance on a continuing education, broadening the knowledge with advanced courses and techniques. Throughout last year I have been travelling to and from Denmark to study at the International Institute of Reflex Therapy under a founder, director of the Institute and my mentor, professor Lone Sorensen, being the first and only facial reflexologist in Australia to obtain the diploma in Temprana Brain Rehabilitation and Home Training Reflex Therapy.
Based on the extensive professional experience and as a result of studies, I have been appointed by the International Institute of reflexology as a National Instructor of Specialised post- grad Neuro Facial Reflexology Courses in Australia and Tasmania.
Strongly believing in giving back to the community, I participate in voluntary programs (Royal Melbourne Hospital, Oncology day ward- Epworth Hospital) with a scope to accompany a professor and mentor Lone Sorensen on her travels to Oman on a yearly bases to treat disabled children that are unable to afford any form of medical care.

Nicole Kardas
Nicole’s Facial Reflexology journey started when she was a stay-at-home mum. Around that time, her mother Jasmina graduated in Facial Reflexology. Nicole’s daughter had some health challenges and instructed by her mum, Nicole started implementing the treatment, after only a few weeks she noticed some massive improvements. Nicole was so amazed at how effective facial reflexology was. After achieving such great results this inspired her to take the leap and make Reflexology a career.
Nicole began intense studying and training with the Lone Sorensen’s Institute of Reflexology, graduating in Facial Reflexology, and completing a certificate in Vagus Nerve Reflex Stimulation.
Health and wellness have always been a strong interest of Nicole’s. Knowing the importance of keeping the body in good health by facilitating the body’s own ability to heal itself is something she feels very strongly about. Being able to offer this type of treatment to clients to help them to achieve their health goals and be a part of their health journey is her passion.
One of her most recent career highlights was being involved in volunteering for the ‘Reflexology Week’ event, organised by Australian Association of Reflexology, something she is looking forward to taking part in on an ongoing basis.

Doriana
Doriana developed an interest in spiritual and holistic practices after experiencing some trauma. On this journey, she found a healer who assisted her in overcoming her fear, building her self-esteem and discovering her passions.
Doriana’s employment background has been to assist others, from assisting people to find work, to support work for the Disabled and then in early childhood education. In 2016, Doriana went on to complete the Reiki courses, both levels I and II so she would be able to assist others in the same way she was. Doriana would love for more people to know about Reiki and how it can help them to reduce symptoms of anxiety/stress, give them the confidence to do things that they wouldn’t normally do, and build a stronger connection with themselves.
