Victoria Caulton
Massage therapistVictoria has been part of the Melbourne Osteohealth team for a few years now, working away behind the scenes to help deliver top notch administrative systems and support. She came to us with 10 years experience in public health; a Clinical Nurse Specialist in paediatric recovery at the Royal Children’s Hospital -which she still enjoys on a part-time basis.
While working at MOH, Victoria developed an appreciation for the importance of musculoskeletal health and the true benefits of massage. This inspired her to complete a certificate of massage therapy at the Southern School of Natural Therapies and seek out mentoring from more experienced therapists such as Osteopaths and Myotherapists.
Through much hard work and dedication Victoria has mastered a broad range of effective techniques for a great massage. Her massage style ranges from a deeper, sports massage (for post workout soreness and fatigue) to a simple relaxation massage (suitable for all ages and all stages of pregnancy).
Victoria takes great pleasure in caring for people and creating a warm and welcoming environment for clients to reap the full benefits of an exceptional massage.
Victoria loves living the active and healthy lifestyle that Melbourne Osteohealth stands for, she’s a regular on our pilates reformers but her true passion is running.
