If you sign up for our newsletters, or read the stories on this site, you might be asking who Ali is.
​
So here is a face behind the name.
​
I live on Tamborine Mountain, with two beautiful sons, Luke and Jack.
Coming from a background of being homeless with a six month old baby due to domestic violence, we are deeply grateful for the sweet life we now have.
​
Ripple was a glimmer in my eye for a couple of years before I started it up here in 2005. Just me, one massage therapist on a mountain.
We are 100% Australian owned and operated and are not a franchise, and operate with a team of therapists in Tamborine Mountain, Scenic Rim, Gold Coast, Brisbane and northern NSW to Byron Bay.
​
Our aim is to give our guests the massage they would like, and remain small, personal, down to earth and friendly.
​
I have been massaging for 20 years, and am trained in remedial, relaxation, prenatal, hot stone, reflexology, aromatherapy, Balinese, Kahuna, Indian Head other styles of massage.
I also have university qualfications as a psychologist, economist and extensive training in DV and trauma informed treatments. Currently, I undertake limited massages in the Gold Coast, Tamborine Mountain, Scenic Rim and Brisbane regions, and also the trauma informed massages in DV shelters.
​

Our team is looking forward to coming to see you soon.

What We Know To Be True
A customer is the most important visitor on our premises.
​
They are not dependent on us. We are dependent on them.
​
They are not an interruption of our work. They are the purpose of it.
​
They are not an outsider to our business. They are a part of it.
​
We are not doing them a favor by serving them.
​
They are doing us a favor by giving us the opportunity to do so.
​
– Mahatma Gandhi
