The Hands & Heart in the Studio

Tamara Uniquely Balanced

Meet Tamara, the practitioner behind Uniquely Balanced

The person behind every treatment at Uniquely Balanced.

I’m Tamara, the founder and practitioner behind this little wellness studio in the Margaret River region. I created Uniquely Balanced to offer something different — a peaceful place where people can step away from the pace of everyday life, feel supported and experience wellbeing in a more individual way.

My approach has always been holistic. I don’t believe that wellbeing can be reduced to a single symptom, technique or modality. Every person arrives with a different body, different experiences and different needs, which is why I take the time to understand the individual rather than simply work from a set routine.

MY APPROACH

Personalised. Considered. Educated Intuitive.

When you come into the studio, you are not simply choosing a treatment from a menu and having the same experience as everyone else.

I take into consideration what you are experiencing, what you are looking for from your session and how your body is presenting on the day.

My role is not to tell your body what it should be doing. It is to create a supportive environment where you can slow down, become more aware of your body and experience the session in a way that feels right for you.

Sometimes that means sound is at the centre of the session.

Sometimes it means combining approaches.

And sometimes the most valuable thing is simply having the space to stop.

MY SPECIALISATION IN SOUND

Peter Hess® Therapeutic & Relaxation Sound Massage

Sound has become the heart of my professional practice.

I am dedicated to the Peter Hess® method of Sound Massage and have completed the full range of Peter Hess® training available to me through the institution I have chosen to study with.

I value the integrity of this method and remain committed to practising it faithfully rather than continually moving between different sound therapy systems.

Peter Hess® Sound Massage uses therapeutic sound bowls placed gently on and around the body while the client rests comfortably.

For me, it is the combination of sound, vibration, presence and stillness that makes this work so unique.

It also offers an alternative for people who don’t enjoy conventional massage or who prefer an experience involving very little hands-on manipulation.

DEVELOPING MY PRACTICE

Fascia Focused Sound Therapy

My work with sound has continued to evolve through further study and exploration of the body’s fascia system.

Fascia Focused Sound Therapy brings together my Peter Hess® sound work with a fascia-informed approach, allowing me to look beyond a single area of discomfort and consider the body as an interconnected whole.

This specialised approach has become an important part of my practice for clients who are interested in a more focused sound therapy experience.

BEYOND SOUND

While Peter Hess® Sound Massage is at the heart of my practice, my professional journey has also included Reiki to master level training and ITA (Integrated Therapeutic Alignment )Advanced Training & Specialisation electives.
As a fully qualified Tier 3 ITA Practitioner, I have completed rigorous training through the Melaney Ryan Institute of Applied Consciousness. To better support my clients through complex emotional landscapes, I have also completed advanced training in the ITA Mental Health Elective. This specialised framework allows me to safely and effectively navigate conditions like anxiety, depression, trauma, and energetic field and other holistic wellness practices. 

These experiences have shaped the way I work with people and have given me a broader understanding of the importance of creating space for the whole person — not simply focusing on one physical area or one experience.

I offer these modalities as individual experiences or combined with sound massage.

WHY UNIQUELY BALANCED?

I believe good wellbeing work begins with being truly present with the person in front of you.

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.

I don’t believe you need to be able to explain exactly what you need before you arrive.

And I don’t believe a practitioner needs to “fix” you.

Instead, I offer a space where you can slow down, receive, become more aware of your body and experience a different way of approaching wellbeing.

My intention is simple:

to create a space where you can pause, breathe and reconnect with yourself.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME

Outside the treatment room, I’m a mother, a lifelong learner and someone who genuinely loves the quiet beauty of the Margaret River region.

I feel incredibly fortunate to work from a studio surrounded by nature and to meet people from both our local community and further afield.

But what matters most to me is the individual relationship built over time with the people who choose to return.

Some clients come for relaxation.

Some are curious about sound.

Some are looking for something different from conventional massage.

And some simply need somewhere they can stop for a while.

Whatever brings you through the door, you will be welcomed as an individual.

TAKE TIME TO BREATHE
