Working With Intention

For the last two years, my work has been shaped by a high-volume booking model. While working in Melbourne, back-to-back appointments were common and, in many ways, required to achieve what I needed to. Staying busy, filling the calendar, and pushing through long days was part of how I operated.

I worked hard. I stayed booked. I milked consistently.

But it wasn’t a model designed for longevity.

High-volume work leaves very little room for more - like recovery, presence, or sustainability. When sessions are stacked one after another, energy has to be managed and rationed. Attention gets divided. Even with the best intentions, the focus shifts from quality to endurance. Over time, that pace takes a toll — physically and mentally — and it inevitably affects the standard of work that can be maintained.

Earlier in my marvellous milking career in Melbourne, I worked from a very low-quality in-call environment. It was nice on the inside but on the outside, my location wasn't discreet or ideal. I'm sure the general area felt confronting and unsafe to clients, and I’m aware that this created discomfort for people, regardless of the quality of the session itself. At the time, that was the reality of how I was able to work. It allowed me to build experience, establish a reputation, and earn an income in an industry where access to better spaces isn’t always immediate or straightforward. I did the work anyway, often under conditions that weren’t ideal for me or for the people seeing me.

But that model was never something I wanted to stay in long term.

My move to Geelong represents a deliberate shift away from both high-volume work and low-quality environments. It marks a clear change in how I operate and what I prioritise.

In G Town, I’ve chosen a slower, more intentional way of working. I no longer book back-to-back sessions. I don’t aim to fill every available time slot, and I don’t push myself to maximise volume at the expense of quality. Instead, I limit the number of bookings I take, allow proper time between sessions, and protect my energy so that every person I see receives my full attention and effort. It’s about doing the work properly consistently.

That same philosophy extends to the space I work from now.

In Geelong, I operate from a private, off-street commercial studio designed specifically for my one-on-one sessions only. This is not a hotel room, shop or a temporary setup. There’s no shared access, no neighbouring foot traffic, and no visible arrival or departure when stepping into my studio. Clients are not passing through common areas, waltzing past receptions, or navigating spaces where they feel observed. Being watched — even subtly — changes how the body behaves. Nosy neighbours, shared hallways and intercoms all create pressure, whether people consciously notice it or not. My studio is designed to remove that pressure entirely, so clients can arrive, settle, and leave without feeling exposed or self-conscious.

Maintaining a private commercial studio like this comes with significant cost. It requires ongoing investment, overheads, and a commitment to keeping the space calm, discreet, and consistent. But it also creates the conditions for real presence — for both myself and the person on the table.

Geelong marks a conscious move toward sustainability, presence, and longevity. It’s a shift away from volume and compromise, and toward doing this work in a way that’s respectful of both my body and the people I see. I can't wait to welcome you in soon. x
