Germaine is an Occupational Therapist with a background in remedial massage therapy and a strong clinical focus on lymphoedema therapy and scar therapy. She is passionate about supporting clients through and beyond cancer treatment with compassionate, evidence-informed care that addresses both physical function and overall wellbeing.

Drawing on over 15 years of experience in hands-on therapy alongside several years working as an Occupational Therapist within community aged care settings, Germaine provides holistic treatment tailored to each client’s individual presentation and goals. Her clinical approach integrates occupational therapy principles with lymphatic and soft tissue therapies to support recovery, symptom management, comfort, mobility, and participation in meaningful daily activities.

Germaine has a particular interest in working with clients experiencing lymphoedema, oedema, fibrosis, scar tissue restriction, pain, reduced mobility, and treatment-related side effects following cancer treatment or surgery. Her treatments may incorporate manual lymphatic drainage, myofascial techniques, trigger point therapy, scar therapy, and oncology-informed massage approaches within a safe and supportive therapeutic environment. She values building genuine therapeutic relationships and takes pride in delivering thoughtful, collaborative, and person-centred care that supports clients throughout all stages of recovery and survivorship.
