Malou Arena
I am pleased to be associated with the Massage Schools of Queensland. In 2003, I graduated "Dux of the School" with a Diploma of Remedial Massage. Their invaluable education and guidance gave me the required knowledge and skills to practice as a fully qualified Remedial Massage Therapist. Our instructors gave us confidence to face almost every known condition we encounter. I have been running a thriving practice at Salon Shiva at Bell Place Centre in Mudgeeraba for the last 4 years. Many doctors, physiotherapists and chiropractors are continually referring their patients to me. My clients feel comfortable that they are under my capable healing hands. I would thoroughly recommend the Massage Schools of Queensland to be the best in this state.
