About - The Stillpoint

My Journey

Katie White

It seems my life has been a long journey that is now coming full circle.
I started my professional career as a Speech Therapist back in the 1980’s, then moved on to work as an Audiologist for nearly 20 years.

After a dance with Breast Cancer, I moved to the wonderful Sunshine Coast, and decided to shift my passion for helping others to a new direction. Having been a dedicated fan of regular massage for over 20 years, I decided that this would be my new path, so I retrained as a Massage Therapist and Gendai Reiki Master.
I opened my clinic, The Stillpoint, in Maleny in 2004 and despite the plethora of Massage Therapists in the district, it became a success. So successful in fact, that I got completely caught up in the busy-ness and forgot to look after myself.
In 2008, the universe sent me a big message about self-care by a return match with Breast Cancer. Now my health is back on track and I am exploring yet more new paths.

Emmett Technique

My passion for helping others and working with energy is still strong, and an experience with Emmett Technique intrigued me so much I did an introductory EMM-Tech course in June 2012.

I found it so effective, so easy, so gentle that I did another module, then another, and another until finally I have completed all 12 modules of Emmett Professional training, and have obtained my Advanced Emmett Practitioner certificate in 2017.

I update my Emmett skills every year and have completed additional workshops on Pelvic Care, Emm-Care ( for people with a disability) and Advanced Lymphatic Massage.

My journey with Emmett will continuing, with ongoing revision to hone my skills, but it has added such a wonderful tool that is as gentle on my body as it is on my clients’, I can now see myself continuing to practice for many years to come.

Oncology Massage

Having had cancer myself, I understand the value of self-care during and after treatment. Being able to provide safe and effective massage to clients who are dealing with cancer led me to train in Oncology Massage, which I completed in 2024.

Oncology Massage is a well-researched and proven massage technique that provides a range of benefits to clients undergoing treatment for cancer. It also provides a safe adaptation of remedial massage techniques for people who have recovered from treatment.

MSTR

McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release has proved to be a wonderful addition to my therapeutic “tool-box”. It s a very gentle way to address scars to improve appearance, feel and function. It can assist with a wide range of scars as well as reduce the impact a scar can have on the function of surrounding tissues and related areas in the body.
