Our practitioners

Meet the Mesa Team

At Mesa, we believe exceptional care begins with the person delivering it.

Our philosophy

Our team is a considered collection of practitioners, each bringing their own depth of knowledge, experience and intuition to the treatment room. While no two therapists work quite the same way, they share a common philosophy: to listen closely, work thoughtfully and create space for the body to soften, restore and return to balance.

From highly skilled remedial bodywork to intuitive touch, beauty rituals, nervous system care and energetic practice, each therapist offers something uniquely their own.

We invite you to explore their individual approaches and find the hands, energy and presence that feel right for you.

Different practitioners. One shared intention: to leave you feeling deeply cared for.

Portrait of Ruby

Mesa practitioner

Ruby

Ruby is a true all-rounder in the world of beauty and bodywork, bringing a wealth of experience across massage, beauty and holistic wellbeing. She began her career at the renowned Gaia Retreat & Spa in Byron Bay before working across high-end beauty salons and day spas throughout Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

Her experience has also taken her further afield, spending time with the Tasmanian Walking Company providing massage therapy at their off-grid lodge at the Bay of Fires — one of Australia’s most breathtaking and remote locations.

Alongside her work at Mesa, Ruby is the founder of By Ruby May, her own lash and brow studio, where her love of beauty, artistry and attention to detail come together.

Ruby’s treatments are grounded, nurturing and restorative, with a natural ability to make you feel completely cared for.

Portrait of Leah

Mesa practitioner

Leah

For over 30 years, Leah has supported women through life’s many seasons and transitions. What began as a career in beauty therapy has evolved into a deeply holistic, energetic practice, weaving together restorative treatments and rituals, yoga, breathwork, postpartum care, circle facilitation and her passion for specialised kinesiology.

Her work is inspired by a deep curiosity about the connection between the body, mind, heart and emotions, and the subtle ways our life experiences are held within us. Leah is passionate about creating spaces where women can slow down, reconnect with themselves and remember the innate wisdom their bodies already hold.

Drawing on her background in specialised kinesiology, Leah is fascinated by the body’s ability to communicate what it needs. She brings a deep respect for ancient rituals and practices that encourage self-awareness, intuition and a greater connection to our own capacity for healing.

Leah believes that when women feel safe, supported and deeply cared for, the body naturally begins to soften, restore and heal. Her treatments are designed to leave you feeling held, celebrated and deeply connected — with a renewed sense of balance throughout your entire being.

Outside the treatment room, Leah finds joy in her children, music, dancing, walking and ocean swims — simple rituals that keep her connected to nature, vitality and the rhythms of life.

Portrait of Cri

Mesa practitioner

Cri

Cri is an artist, designer and bodyworker whose practice grew from a deep curiosity about the body, movement and energy. Her journey into bodywork began through the study of Traditional Chinese Medicine, meridians, Qi Gong and fascia, alongside her work as a Yin Yoga teacher.

With a naturally intuitive approach, Cri works with both the structural and energetic body, drawing on her understanding of fascia, meridian pathways, nervous system regulation and energy to create treatments that are entirely responsive to the person in front of her.

She believes deeply in movement as a pathway to healing, and in creating the conditions for the nervous system to soften so the body can return to its own natural rhythm and balance. Her treatments are fluid, considered and deeply individual — weaving therapeutic touch with an intuitive awareness of where the body is holding, asking and ready to let go.

There is an artistry to Cri’s work — a beautiful interplay of touch, movement and energy that invites the body to soften, shift and find its way back to balance.

Shayla is deeply attuned to the subtle ways we hold stress and emotion in the body, creating a space where you can soften, release and come back into balance.

There is a beautifully nurturing quality to Marjaana’s treatments.
