Jane Hilson

Myotherapist & Remedial Massage Therapist

Jane joined the team at Canterbury Health Hub in 2023 after graduating with a Diploma of Remedial Massage Therapy and an Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy from Melbourne Institute of Massage and Myotherapy in 2006. She also completed a Bachelor of Health Science in Naturopathy from The Southern School of Natural Therapies in 2000 and an Applied Science Degree in Chinese Medicine Acupuncture in 2013. Currently, she also teaches in the Diploma of Massage and Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy courses throughout Melbourne.

Book with Jane

Jane began her journey in the health profession studying a Bachelor of Health Science in Naturopathy (SSNT) in 2000. She did massage as a part of this study and it was clear that while the holistic principles of naturopathic medicine resonated deeply for her, hands-on treatment was where it was at. She continued her manual therapy studies through the Diploma of Remedial Massage (2006) and the Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy courses. She also managed to sneak in a cheeky post graduate Applied Science Degree in Chinese Medicine Acupuncture in 2013.

Jane sees working with clients through massage as a special opportunity to partner with them on the journey to recovery, and her primary aim of treatment is to nurture, listen and remove the obstacles to feeling good. As well as a good pair of experienced hands, Jane has strong clinical reasoning skills and a broad range of manual techniques to draw from, including Deep Tissue Massage, MFR (Myofascial Release), Trigger Point Therapy, MET (Muscle Energy Technique) and Flame Cupping. Jane uses needles sparingly, relying on manual therapy as a first preference. She has worked extensively with people experiencing chronic pain syndromes and a broad range of muscular dysfunctions resulting from overuse, postural problems, acute and chronic injuries.

Jane is lucky to have another role that she is deeply passionate about; teaching in the Diploma of Massage and Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy courses. Having done this since 2012, she finds that teaching keeps her skills and knowledge frosty, and ensures she can bring the best of current practice to her clinical work.

Outside of work life, Jane is a mum to Sabine, aged 17, and Astrid, 20. She is also a seeing eye human to her blind greyhound, Bear. Jane gigs regularly, fronting a Western Swing band and sings with a 60s Garage Surf band. She also loves to stitch clothes and accessories and has a wicked fabric stash habit.

PLEASE NOTE: Jane returns to clinical practice at CHH in late October/early November 2024.
