In case you didn’t know - Capital Women is not my only business! I have been a Health Professional for over 28 years and my health practice Therapy Masters specializes in Remedial and Sports Massage.
I’m a proud graduate and former teacher with the Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT), however CIT currently have the Massage program under review and are considering cutting the program.
I’d like to thank Region Canberra for the opportunity to be interviewed in the below article, and for taking the Canberra Massage Industry’s concerns directly to the CIT Executive!
If you would like to advocate for the program to be retained please email [email protected] and share your support!

Canberra Institute of Technology's nation-leading remedial massage offering is in limbo as the CIT weighs a decision on its future.…

Things have been a little quiet here in recent months.. on April 2 my dear 89 year old Mum had a fall and fractured her upper arm.
I spent April on the NSW Central Coast caring from her and working remotely. Then in early May I contracted RSV and had to take the entire month off work.
I’m finally getting back into the swing of things, and catching up on a backlog of work in my day jobs, at my home, in my volunteer roles and here with my passion project of Capital Women.
My Mum is healing, but as you can appreciate, her recovery has been slow and I will be staying with her again in the coming weeks.
I do have several NEW episodes to share with you that went to air in April. At the moment we are replaying episodes 15 to 29, in our Monday timeslot on 2XXfm, from the second half of last year.
I’ll be back recording new episodes in the coming weeks and they will be ready to air from August 18.
Thanks for your patience while life takes my focus elsewhere ~* Lisa
