Meet Gloria Mullaly

My Story

I came to massage therapy not from personal pain, but from the juggle of family and work. I had two young boys and was working in hospitality, and I was finding the demands of the industry were making it hard to be truly present for them.

I had always been drawn to massage, so I visited Q Academy's Sunshine Coast Campus — and from the moment I walked in, it felt like exactly where I was supposed to be.

The course started with relaxation techniques. Through practising on friends and family, I began to see first-hand how much massage could ease people's pain and tension. But when the course moved into remedial massage, my love for this work deepened completely. Learning to find the root cause of pain — rather than simply treating the symptoms — felt like a whole new world opening up. The idea that I could help people move more freely and live more comfortably is what drives everything I do.

That sense of purpose is what brought me to Caboolture, and it's what keeps me here.

My Approach

I work with the whole person, not just the symptom. Before every session I take time to understand what's going on — your lifestyle, your stress levels, what your body is telling you — because lasting results come from treating the cause, not just the pain.

I combine remedial massage techniques with Bowen therapy where appropriate, which gives me a wider toolkit to draw from. Bowen in particular is remarkable for its gentle power — it works with the fascial and nervous system to trigger deep, lasting rebalancing that often surprises clients who are used to more forceful approaches.

Bowen Therapy in Caboolture

Bowen Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive technique developed by Tom Bowen in Geelong, Australia. It uses precise, rolling-type moves over muscles, tendons, and fascia to stimulate the body's self-healing mechanisms. The pauses built into a Bowen session are as important as the moves themselves — they give the nervous system time to integrate and respond.

I'm one of very few Bowen practitioners in the Caboolture area, which means clients drive from across the Moreton Bay region to access this therapy. It's effective for a wide range of conditions — musculoskeletal pain, headaches, sleep issues, stress, and much more.

Regulated, Insured & Always Learning

I'm a proud member of ANTA — the Australian Natural Therapists Association — which is the professional body that regulates natural therapists across Australia and ensures we're meeting the standards required to practise safely and effectively. Membership means I hold appropriate qualifications, maintain continuing education, and carry the right insurance to protect you.

I recently completed a TMJ Dysfunction course, adding specialist skills in treating jaw pain, headaches, and tension related to the temporomandibular joint. If you've been struggling with jaw clenching, clicking, or persistent facial tension, this is something I can now address directly as part of your treatment.
