Ana Vellacher
Myotherapist & Remedial Massage Therapist
Somatic Coach & Nervous System Regulation Practitioner
Ana is a Myotherapist, Remedial Massage Therapist and Nervous System Regulation Practitioner based at Pure Whole Health in Brookvale, with a deep passion for helping people reconnect with their bodies and create lasting change.
After years of treating pain and tension through hands-on therapy, Ana noticed a pattern: people would leave feeling lighter, only to return weeks later with the same discomfort. This led her to study Somatic Coaching and Nervous System Regulation, allowing her to look beyond symptom relief and address the deeper patterns contributing to pain, stress and physical tension.
From this journey, The Embodied Release Method was born, a whole-person approach that recognises lasting release happens naturally when the body feels safe, supported and heard. Ana believes the body is never working against us. It is always adapting, protecting and communicating, and when we learn to work with our bodies rather than against them, healing becomes deeper and more sustainable.
Ana has a particular passion for supporting mothers, women who so often carry the physical, mental and emotional load of caring for everyone else while placing their own needs last. In today’s fast-paced world, many of us spend our lives thinking, planning, achieving and constantly being “switched on.” Ana believes reconnecting with the body is essential for creating balance, resilience and wellbeing.
Her approach combines Myotherapy, Remedial Massage, Somatic Coaching, breathwork and mindful awareness. Every session is unique because everybody carries a different story, so rather than following a set protocol, Ana meets each client where they are, tailoring every treatment to what their body needs in that moment. Her sessions provide a safe space to slow down, reconnect with yourself and develop greater awareness of what your body is communicating.
