​Hello everyone,

First of all I would like to thank you all for your support. Without your help I wouldn’t have been able to achieve what I have achieved and Jacaranda Massage & Holistic Care wouldn’t exist right now.

Most of you know about my background. For those of you who don’t know me, I will briefly tell you about it.

I am Sonia and I am from Spain. I moved to Australia almost 5 years ago when the financial crisis hit Spain and my husband lost his job. He is from Perth but he lived in Spain for 12 years.
In my life I did many kinds of jobs such as cleaning, waiter, chef, interpreter, operator at the emergency number, social trainer and others.

I started my career as a massage therapist about 9 years ago. At that time I had a really hard period in my life and I was receiving help from a very good psychologist who introduced me to meditation in order to manage my depression.
Once I accepted and learnt to digest what was going on, I started to be very interested in alternative therapies . I began studying psychology at the university but I couldn’t continue as it was too hard for me with two teenagers and working full time. Since then, I have done different courses in Spain and Australia. I learnt a variety of therapeutic massages such as Metamorphic massage, remedial massage and reflexology . I did my first and second level of Reiki in Spain and became a Reiki Master here in Australia. I did a variety of courses related with physical and mental health. I just finished my diploma in Sound Healing Therapy in Perth and continue to study Certificate III in Disabilities.

At the beginning I was offering the therapies that I learnt to friends and family. Very soon, the number of clients increased and I did it professionally as a second job.
When we moved to Australia I offered the therapies at home in Perth. After that my husband found a job in Geraldton and we moved here. I decided to work full time doing what I really liked.

It was hard at the beginning as no one knew me in Geraldton. I worked for almost one year without salary. But I persisted as every new client in turn brought a new one. Word of mouth takes time but it is the best publicity you can have.
Another big barrier was and still is the language. When you talk with me please don’t hesitate to ask me as many times as you need if you don’t understand my accent or my “Spanglish”.

Again, a big thank you to everyone.

Kind Regards,
Sonia Garcia Ayala
