SOUND MIND AND BODYWORK
Massage Artist

My Background
I began my professional career as a Massage Therapist in 2002 in Australia. I have extensive experience in working with various pain, tension and stress related conditions. I am currently based in Berlin and provide mobile massage in your own home, workplace, event or hotel. I am known for my strong hands, but also enjoy providing a relaxing and restorative massage. I am passionate about body work and have developed my own style over many years of experience with a variety of modalities and techniques. I continue to evolve my technique and update my knowledge and skills. I have an artistic background in music and dance, approaching massage as a creative artform that is balanced with anatomical knowledge and intuitive connection. I have spent most of my career working in various Natural Medicine clinics running my own business. I have worked at 3 of Berlin‘s 5 star Hotel Spas, massaged at various corporate, workplace, sporting events and also treated artists and back stage crew while on tour. I can come to you and provide Remedial Massage, Sports Massage, Relaxation, Aromatherapy Massage and Body scrub treatments, Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, Cupping and Gua Sha, Pregnancy Massage, Reiki, Massage with Tuning Forks and Sound Healing.
All treatments are uniquely tailored to your individual needs. See services for all descriptions. Feel free to book online or contact me directly for further enquiries if you would like to interact with a friendly human.

Selena is truly a healing artist. My session with her was relaxing, and at the same time extremely therapeutic. Her presence allows for trust, and her experience is evident in every technique she applies. I look forward to our future sessions together!

Selena Pettifer is the best remedial massage therapist that I have ever had. Her warm professional manner and good humour always made every appointment a pleasure. Her strong hands and excellent technique will give you much relief and relaxation. Since Selena has moved from Melbourne to Berlin I haven’t yet found a massage therapist that matches her skill and expertise. I miss her! I strongly recommend Selena to anyone in Berlin who is seeking a massage from a skilled and trustworthy masseuse. Enjoy!
