Meet the Team
Founder and ownerKylie Cunningham
Kylie's upbringing in a rural town instilled within her the importance of a natural and healthy lifestyle, which included homegrown fruits and vegetables, daily bike rides and gymnastics on the weekends.
After a trip throughout Southeast Asia in 2003, Kylie developed a curiosity for natural therapies and massage, as she experienced the profound physical and emotional benefits of touch.
In 2005, Kylie successfully completed her Certificate IV in Massage at the Australasian College of Natural Therapies, whilst gaining experience as a Chiropractic Assistant. Her style developed towards improving clients’ posture and joint mobility, in addition to enhancing sports performance and movement.
In the years following, Kylie pursued further education and upgraded to a Diploma of Remedial Massage and studied Pregnancy Massage as an elective. She then found an interest in modalities to enhance her remedial massage skills and trained in Dry Needling I & II, Cupping, Myofascial Release I & II and Craniosacral Therapy I & II.
In 2015 & 2017, Kylie attended courses in Oregon (USA) learning myofascial release techniques for head, neck & whiplash conditions, in addition to lower back & pelvic issues and the treatment of sciatica.
2019 saw Kylie delve into the study of Lymphatic Drainage I at Coffs Harbour with Rhythm Massage, and that year also completed a one-day course specialising in the treatment of headaches, with Core Body Therapy.
Kylie’s other study achievements have been gaining a Certificate in Remedial Fusion Hot Stone Massage with Alchemy Massage, that she loves delivering during the colder months of the year. She recently attended workshops in 2023 & 2024 with The Stanborough Education Group, delving into Structural Integration and the Treatment of Scoliosis, learning Rolfing and myofascial release techniques.

With a strong passion for sports and exercise, and a commitment to her personal fitness, Leina enrolled in Certificates’ III and IV in Fitness at Randwick TAFE in 2021. Upon her completion, Leina aspired to delve deeper into the beauty of anatomy, and discovered her interest in injury prevention, rehabilitation and enhancing athletic performance in her fitness clients.

With her broad fitness knowledge and massage skills, she possesses a good understanding of targeting sports injuries and reducing chronic pain.

Sofie Beker
Sofie was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and decided to travel to Australia with her partner 9 years ago. Only planning to stay in Australia for just one year and explore the country, life just happened! Australia quickly became her new home, and she placed down her roots and started the journey towards studying nutrition.
Coming from a background in law, Sofie realised this wasn’t the best career path for her anymore and during covid, saw an opportunity to go back to university and follow her real passion: nutrition and the body. Driven by her own curiosity to heal herself, from chronic bloating and gut issues, Sofie began to understand the link between targeted nutrition, lifestyle changes and their impact on optimal gut health. After successfully healing herself, Sofie became passionate about helping others do the same.
Sofie became a qualified Clinical Nutritionist at Torrens University and at the same time, became an accredited Health & Wellness Coach. She has a special interest in helping clients of all ages heal their gut and regain their energy, to feel confident again in their own skin.
Like many of her clients, she struggled with chronic bloating and gut issues for years - painful, unpredictable and always exacerbated by stress. Thinking this was a normal part of life, it wasn’t until Sofie started delving into nutrition that she realised how much the gut influences our overall well=being and what she’d been suffering from for many years could be reversed. Sofie particularly enjoys working with women that suffer from IBS, SIBO, gut imbalances and persistent bloating., using functional testing to find the root cause. She also has a special interest in the gut-mind connection, helping clients understand how their diet plays an important role in anxiety and stress management.
When Sofie’s not at the clinic, you’ll find her lifting weights at the gym, taking long walks with her Bordoodle - Kila, going out to dinner to eat wholesome food with friends or getting creative in a pottery class.
Sofie is here to help support you and find out what’s driving your symptoms and start your journey to feeling better - for optimal health and longevity.
SOFIE'S CONSULTATIONS incorporateLab and functional testing (where needed) to get to the root cause of your gut issue or health condition. Sofie assists the healing process through dietary interventions, nutritional supplementation and lifestyle recommendations.
Sofie is a registered member of AARPN (Australasian Association and Register of Practicing Nutritionists).
