Below are experiences shared by people receiving remedial massage, dry needling, and treatment for pain, injury recovery, and movement restriction.
Neck, Shoulder & Headache Relief
"Chronic neck & Back tension relief"
- Renee D
I have been seeing Kanae for over a year now for multiple neck/back/hip issues and I can genuinely say that she is one of the best remedial massage therapists I've ever been to. She has an in-depth understanding of the musculoskeletal system, and always manages to find the spots that are causing me pain. She is professional, respectful, and really cares about the quality of her work and listening to her clients. Kanaes remedial deep tissue massage is exceptional, and I leave every appointment with significantly less tension and feeling so much lighter! I can't recommend Sea of Ease highly enough! The best of the best for sure 😊
"Pain free, giving me back my quality of life"
- Sandra Y
Kanae is an extremely gifted Remedial Massage Therapist, she listens and observes, going on to identify any problem areas. I have a history of neck/shoulder issues (after having an accident and surgeries), with some back problems as well. While being treated I can literally feel the release of tense muscles, which in turn enables me to negotiate life and my hobbies, something I struggled with previously. Kanae keeps me pain free and functional, giving me back my quality of life, something I am extremely grateful for.

I had been struggling with shoulder pain for a while and Kanae really helped me feel better with dry needling. She is very knowledgeable and clearly knows exactly what she’s doing, which made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the treatment.

Low Back Pain, Sciatica & Movement Restriction
Kanae is awesome. I have been seeing her for several years now for lower back pain, sciatica issues and gluteus issues. Kanae did deep tissue and dry needing in the areas were the issue is. It is worth the strong massage whilst in pain because at the end of the session I felt 100% better. The pain was worth it. I highly recommend her. I was a bit sore for about 2 days after the session, but was pain free for about 2 weeks, which helped me greatly as I work in a fast paced job, which requires a lot of walking and lifting. 100% recommended :)
Kanae is amazing!!
I had such a great experience with her remedial massage and dry needling.
She really took the time to understand what was going on and precisely treated the actual source of my pain. Her targeted treatment made such a big difference for me.
I came in with low back pain and shoulder pain, and I already feel lasting relief.
As a nail artist, I rely heavily on my body, so I need treatments that are both effective and delivered with care and attention. Kanae exceeded my expectations.
Her level of skill and precision is not comparable to other places I’ve been to before.
It’s also very rare to find this level of thoughtful, attentive care in the O’Connor area. It really reminds me of the high standard of service I’m used to in Japan.
Highly recommend!
No one for years could release my back and Kanae fixed it after the first session. I can finally lift heavy things again and walk with proper posture 💪. I also booked in after to do her yoga to see if her Yoga class was just as good as her remedial massage. I was really impressed with how she could help me with the movements and breathing. Very impressed 😇 I will be back for both 🙂
I went to see Kanae for back pain, and the experience was amazing. She has such a natural ability to feel exactly where the tension is, without needing much guidance.
Her touch is both strong and intuitive, and after a few sessions I felt a deep sense of relief in my body. You can really feel the care and presence she brings to her work.

Chronic Pain & Complex Conditions
I’ve been seeing Kanae for the past couple of years for my fortnightly massage, she is very methodical in her approach by asking what’s sore, and how I responded after my last visit.
I suffer from fibromyalgia, migraines, shoulder and hip pain. The relief is sometimes instant (migraine lessening, my movement improving) but mostly I notice the next morning after waking up, which is usually when I’m at my worst.
This is actually the first time I’ve written a review on google. I highly recommend her services.
For over four years, Kanae has been my one and only go-to remedial massage therapist and I truly can’t recommend her sessions highly enough.
After living with ongoing pain and trying so many different ways to heal an ongoing injury from a car accident in my late 20s and 30s along with chronic tension held in my neck and shoulders (which often led to headaches), I can honestly say that now, in my late 40s, my body feels happy and pain free. Kanae’s treatments have played an integral role in this transformation.
Her style is unique and deeply effective. Each session feels like a full reset - not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. I always leave feeling calm, grounded and back to myself.
Kanae, I am so incredibly grateful for your support, care and dedication over the years. You will be deeply missed here in Bunbury and I have no doubt I’ll be travelling to continue our work together at your new practice in O'Connor.
You are professional, knowledgeable, compassionate and an exceptional practitioner. I wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone seeking genuine, lasting healing massage.
Thank you 🙏💛
Kanae is truly the kindest soul I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and an absolutely incredible remedial massage therapist. I have been lucky enough to have been apart of her journey from the beginning and her dedication to helping others and learning how best to help them get comfortable and live pain free so they can truly live is her strongest super power. 5 stars are not enough to describe how excellent she is, this amazingly talented woman deserves all of the stars for how she has helped me over the last several years. I have recommended Kanae to so many people and will continue to do so, she really is remarkable.

Dry Needling & Targeted Treatment
I’ve had a few incredible sessions with kanae now, and every time I walk away feeling more relaxed, realigned, and deeply supported. Her remedial massage is truly intuitive — she tunes into the body with such presence and care. Her energy is so calming and grounding, you instantly feel held and safe in her space.
Recently, my partner was experiencing severe shoulder pain that nothing seemed to help — and after just one session of dry needling with her, the pain was gone. It honestly felt like magic! Her combination of technical skill and healing energy is something really special.
If you’re looking for someone who blends clinical precision with soulful presence, I can’t recommend her highly enough. She’s amazing. 🌿

Very professional but also genuinely nice. Highly skilled in massage and we always feel so much better after a remedial treatment. 10 out of 10 recommend!!
Exactly what I needed.
The activity is so stress relief, I had no idea where it would take me, but I'm really happy to now include what I've learned in my daily routine.
Kanae is really experienced and devoted to wellness. It is a long term mood changer.

Breath, Yoga & Freediving
I recently attended Kanae’s Uddiyana Bandha workshop to assist with my feeedive journey. But honestly I would attend this workshop just for day to day living. Kanae’s gentle and calming presentation made for such a pleasant learning experience. It felt more like a guidance than learning a formula. It was such an enjoyable morning. Kanae even sent follow up messages and material - next level. Highly recommended.
Kanae’s Uddiyana Bandha workshop was great! I really enjoyed the focus on freediving and how in-depth the theory part was, it gave me a much better understanding of the practice, especially as someone who is new to freediving and breathwork. Kanae made the workshop fun and engaging, and I left feeling incredibly relaxed 😊. I also found the post-course cheat sheet super helpful, it's been great to refer back to!
Kanae’s gentle, patient and kind service was so appreciated. I love her intuitive guidance and the many levels of knowledge she’s gained from a wide variety of wisdom traditions to provide well-being services for personalized, holistic health care.
So far I’ve enjoyed Kanae’s yoga, beginner freedive coaching and relaxation services. Highly recommended for any service she has to offer.
