Hi, I’m Chanelle, the founder of Sakina Wellness Spa & Clinic.

My journey into massage began in 2012, when I completed my Diploma of Beauty Therapy. Through this, I was introduced to a wide range of treatments and modalities and quickly discovered a deep passion for massage and spa therapy. 

In 2014, I completed my Certificate IV in Massage Therapy at Sage Institute, which led me into the spa and massage industry across 5-star hotels in Melbourne’s CBD, as well as spa resorts and retreats throughout Victoria, interstate and overseas. To further deepen my skills and understanding of the body, I completed my Diploma of Remedial Massage at Endeavour College. 

With over a decade of hands-on experience, my work is grounded in knowledge, intuition and a deep respect for the body’s ability to adapt and heal.

Over time, my focus naturally evolved towards supporting women through pregnancy — a period of profound physical and emotional change. I am now a certified NurtureLife® practitioner specialising in pregnancy massage, with a strong understanding of the physiological changes that occur across all stages of pregnancy.

At Sakina, massage is more than a treatment — it’s a space to rest, breathe and feel cared for during one of life’s most transformative seasons.

I work with expectant mothers at every stage, supporting common concerns such as back and lower back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and postural tension, as well as Caesarean scar healing. I also provide gentle, compassionate care for women who have experienced stillbirth or termination for medical reasons (TFMR), holding space with sensitivity and respect.

The name Sakina means peace, calm and tranquillity — values that sit at the heart of my practice. My intention is to create a warm, safe and nurturing environment where every client is left feeling deeply relaxed, supported and gently transformed. Each treatment is designed to help you slow down, release tension and reconnect with your body, so you leave feeling calm, rested and restored.
