Shantel Wicks

Remedial Massage Therapist

Shantel moved to Mackay just after her 18th birthday and fell in love with the town; and although she wasn't born or raised here, it's always been the place that feels like home to her.

From a young age, Shantel was completely fascinated by how the body works and could be found reading as many snippets of information as she could find. Growing up, she would massage family members for pocket money or as birthday gifts. The feeling of satisfaction from helping relieve pain and get them back to normal function is something that has stayed with Shantel throughout her life and career.

As an active Mum of 3 boys and 1 girl, Shantel's home life includes motocross, weightlifting, skateparks, waterskiing and camping. Watching the hits her boys take on any given day makes her relieved to have the knowledge to help them keep their bodies ready to ride another day!

Shantel holds a Diploma in Remedial Massage and her passion lies with sports and remedial modalities, keeping athletes in peak condition, rehab + injury treatments. Some of her favourite techniques to use include trigger point therapy and myofascial release. Shantel says "You'll know I'm in the clinic by following my signature scent of deep heat! 🤣"
