Olivia Hawthorne

Myotherapist & Remedial Massage Therapist
Hailing from rural South Australia, Olivia is a skilled myotherapist & remedial massage therapist with a passion for treating postural issues, headaches and migraines, and repetitive strain injuries often experienced by desk-bound office workers.
In addition to the typical aches and pains of those who enjoy an active lifestyle – as she does.
Treating a variety of clients since completing her Diploma of Remedial Massage in 2021, Olivia’s exposure to more complex musculoskeletal conditions has inspired her desire to provide a higher quality of care to clients through further education.
After relocating to Melbourne in early 2024, she completed an Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy at Melbourne Institute of Massage Therapy & Myotherapy, expanding her clinical reasoning and ability to incorporate other modalities such as dry needling and cupping into her treatments.
A keen runner, swimmer, and general gym enthusiast, Olivia often uses her own experience to relate to clients and tailor treatments to their needs. She also enjoys helping people to disconnect from the stress of their everyday lives and reap the benefits of simple relaxation massage.

What Clients Say About Olivia

I recently visited The Alignment Studio for both remedial massage and orthotics treatment, and I couldn't be more pleased with my experience.

The remedial massage by Olivia was truly transformative. The therapist was incredibly skilled, taking the time to understand my specific issues and tailor the session to my needs. I walked out feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, with noticeable relief from muscle tension specially for my back and shoulder.

Overall, I highly recommend Alignment Studio for anyone seeking quality service in the CBD area. The combination of professionalism, compassionate care, and excellent results is hard to find. I look forward to my future appointments!
