I am a certified massage therapist and massage teacher. Learning the art of massage therapy from best experts abroad, I have finished formal education in Australia and have been practising ever since. If superheroes had amazing powers, I am lucky enough to have one too-the power of touch. I've been sharing my superpower through massage for the past 7 years. After working at a 5-star spa for 2 years, I began working as a full time professional mobile massage therapist around Sydney taking care of people from all walks of life. I believe that there is no real substitute for the power of touch

The class was very relaxing and informative, highly recommend this class! We enjoyed it very much.

Jenny Du Mar 2024


The class was absolutely amazing - we learnt a lot of techniques and Kristine was professional and very educative, made us felt warm and comfortable as soon as we walked in. Most importantly we all had a great massage! Highly recommend this session, you would not regret the 4 hours at all

Rebecca Rumens Feb 2024


This was a really great class for couples. There are only 2 couples per class and even though the space was small it worked really well. Kristine knows her stuff and makes it super easy to follow and do it yourself. The goody back was really thoughtful and useful. I highly recommend

Kara Blackburn Feb 2024


Excellent class! Turns out my hubby CAN give a good massage We are both so relaxed and well equipped to keep practicing. Thank you Christine You are a fantastic teacher!

Thomas Nicholson Jan 2024


I booked this experience for my wife’s birthday. I was a little bit nervous about the experience but the moment we arrived Kristine made us feel relaxed and welcome. We shared many stories of our travels and interests and it helped ease us into the session. I’d highly recommend anyone looking for some informative and pressure free learning. Can’t wait to put into practice what Kristine showed us. Thankyou!

Harshan Panchalingam Jan 2024


Excellent value for money and what a great teacher! Very highly recommend for anyone who wants to try at home

Madelaine Niemeier Jan 2024


Kristine was fantastic. We both enjoyed learning to give a great massage head to toe without getting sore hands, and got a relaxing full body massage. Kristine described and demonstrated the movements and actions with calm patience and made everyone feel so comfortable. I would recommend to anyone wanting to learn how to give a great massage, but especially couples who want to be able to reciprocate and learn together.

Katie Hathaway Nov 2023


Christine was wonderful and I love that the room was full of plants. We both really enjoyed the massage and we got resources after the session so we can revise and practice at home. Highly recommend! It’s an excellent idea for a date day/night.

Dale Abbott Nov 2023


Kristine was absolutely amazing, as both a person and as a teacher. My wife and I would both absolutely recommend Kristine’s learn to massage class. The location was good, the room was amazing and so in tune with a relaxed atmosphere. The half time refreshments were nice and my wife and I look forward to building on the learning from Kristine and have many relaxing massages. Thank you again Kristine.

Juli Thwaite Oct 2023


The teacher was lovely and she provided good instructions throughout the class. The venue was relaxing and comfortable. The bonus to receive a bag of goodies to inspire us to perform our own massages was an unexpected surprise. Yes, I would recommend.

Jesus Oct 2023


Incredible experience and incredible teacher. I would 100% recommend taking part of this class and enjoy the atmosphere :)

Kayla Panozzo Sep 2023


Teacher was amazing and class was exactly what I wanted. The class size was only 2 couples so we could ask questions and get hands on feedback. The location was a bit small/squished but the space was well utilized.

Amanda Chau Aug 2023


Highly recommend this workshop! Christine is an excellent massage therapist and instructor. We learned a lot of different massage techniques and left the class feeling completely relaxed.

Paloma Vega Jul 2023


The teacher was excellent. She made us super comfortable and welcome.
Venue was nice. Good vibes, relaxing and full of plants. It smelled great.
Towels were super clean. Lots of warm oil for the massage.
I thought the price was cheap. The course is full 4 hours massage. The teacher provided with snacks and at the end of the class, we received cool souvenirs. Great value for money, no doubt!
We learn how to give a full body relaxing massage and stretching. Both my husband and myself loved it.
We had a great time. Highly recommend

Nicholas Smith Jul 2023


Christine was a fantastic teacher. My wife and I learnt many simple massage techniques to hopefully use in the future. Highly recommend.

Andie Corrigan Jun 2023


An amazing experience! Kristine was so knowledgeable, friendly and we all learnt a lot about massage. Highly recommend it!

Christine Gonsalvez Jun 2023


My husband and I have wanted to do a course like this for ages. I'm so glad we found Christine- she was a super lovely host and it was a really cool experience. The small class size means you get loads of help and it felt really intimate and friendly. It was a safe place to make mistakes and a really chilled and relaxing environment. Half the course is getting a massage - what's not to love?!

Dennis Chan May 2023


Kristine is a very good instructor who was able to demonstrate techniques in a fun and enjoyable way. She made us feel very comfortable and relaxed, and provided a lot of specific advice when we had questions. The class was well worth it and a good couple activity.

Emmalee Taylor Apr 2023


Kristine was a great host and teacher. Matched the pace to her learners and patiently offered constructive feedback when we attempted to put into practice what she showed us. The atmosphere was relaxing from the first moment, and we learnt techniques that will enable us to perform a good-length massage at home. I have no hesitation in recommending - thank you for a great afternoon!

Wendy Tian Apr 2023


Christine was an excellent teacher. Her presence and the space were warm and welcoming. We had a very relaxing and fun time and learned a lot about massage. Snacks and goodie bag were a lovely touch.

Christine is an excellent teacher and has done a wonderful job setting up her place to run the course. I would highly recommend the course!

Graham Baldock Feb 2023


Relaxing, comfortable, good explaining, understanding, through, we had a good time, would do again, yep

Imogen Diks Feb 2023


It always feels a bit different coming to someone’s home for a class but Christine did a great job of making us feel comfortable from the get go. The place is set up really well and she had cleverly adapted the space.

We did the class with one other couple and had time time to chat. Half way through the class was some light yummy snacks but don’t go hungry as it’s not a meal.

The first half of the class is one partner receiving a massage while the other learns and then you swap half way. This is a good system for being able to really enjoy both learning and getting a good quality massage. Christine uses helpful tips and techniques which make for a very professional experience.

We did finish a bit earlier than advertised but got a lovely goodie bag.

Ellen Liu Feb 2023


My fiancée and I loved this class! The teacher was very knowledgeable, patient and funny, putting us at ease immediately and offering personal attention and customized advice. Her studio was beautifully decked out with plants, snacks and pleasant smells. A true "zen haven"! We walked out feeling relaxed and equipped with some top massage tips and a great goody bag. We recommend this class to everyone!

Vicky Brown Feb 2023


really nice course, great room, clean and well set up, good teaching style and method, put us at ease and we had a lovey afternoon. Would recommend.

Caoimhe Feb 2023


Kristine was a wonderful teacher with a great demeanor, very friendly, fun and knowledgeable and made everyone feel very relaxed and at ease. We did the couples massage workshop - the time flew by and we learned a lot of valuable techniques and she guided us throughout. Had refreshments half way through and she gave us a goodie bag at the end which was a lovely touch also! Would definitely recommend this class and will be telling my friends and family all about it too!

Caoimhe Mulhall Feb 2023


Highly recommend this class. Excellent teaching and facilities in a very clean and relaxed environment. Informative but not too steep a learning curve. Give it a go!

She helped build our confidence with the techniques and we found it to be great value for money. Recommending the class to all our friends. :)

Great teacher, with a good sense of humour and a well prepared lesson plan. Love the little touch of providing the snacks and goodie bag at the end too! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to do a massage class with their partner.

A lovely class! The studio is small but very cozy and the session is split into two blocks where you and your partner each have a go of massaging and relaxing.

A great experience, with great techniques covered!

Amazing and very personalised class. A wonderful human being and teacher we learn so much and had such a beautiful afternoon. Highly recommend.

Isobel Healey Jul 2022


Christine was welcoming, knowledgeable and kind. My partner and I enjoyed her teachings immensely. She provided us delicious snacks, tea, water and juice and chatted with us while we learned the skills. We both came out very relaxed and inspired with our little gift bag of massage oil, beautiful candles and a picture frame with a nice mantra. She adapted her teaching style to suit my partners knowledge of bodily anatomy and my lack of knowledge, changing how she taught and the words she used. We highly recommend this to any couple or besties who want to get to know each other better, learn massage technique and completely relax in an intimate setting with a wonderful teacher.

Joel Duck Jul 2022


Great value for money would definitely do this class again. Both my partner and I had a fun and the teacher was great. Very welcoming and reassuring made us both feel very comfortable

Highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn a bit more about how to give a good massage in a friendly environment for incredibly good value.

Maria Dominguez Jun 2022


Kristine has a soothing voice and manner and made our masage class relaxing and enjoyable. She taught us several techniques that we practised on our partner and provided links to videos that demonstrated the techniques so that we can refresh our memory when we try them at home.
She provided healthy snacks and drinks and a goody bag for each participant, which included massage oil and was a nice surprise.

Leon Chung Jun 2022


Christy was very professional and taught us lots of techniques that we will use together

Laura Pigot-Repšys Jun 2022


My husband and I had a great time learning how to massage one another with Christine.

We massaged each other for 75 minutes, guided by Christine who is a wonderful, patient, welcoming and extremely friendly teacher. Not only did we learn a great deal, but we also left feeling much lighter and peaceful.

Would definitely recommend this workshop to others, specifically couples as I think it’s a fantastic couple experience.

Laetitia Tou May 2021


A great experience. The teacher was gentle and very attentive. We were two couples, and she took turns showing us what the new steps were, correcting us when needed. Each person gens a 1.5hr massage by their partner. Well worth the price. Highly recommend.

Jo Gripper May 2021


The couples massage class was amazing. Kristine is an excellent instructor. We were shown how to perform a treatment and gained techniques we can use at home. A nice setting with lovely afternoon tea and a goody bag at the end. It was lots of fun. A great experience I would fully recommend. Would make a good gift for a couple.

Sarah Morgan May 2021


I have always been interested in learning massage techniques and gain a better understanding of them. I surprised my husband on Valentine’s Day this year with our booking thinking it would be a nice thing to do together and something we could both share and enjoy, win win for both of us!

It was a lovely afternoon. Our teacher Kristine is super knowledgeable, warm, encouraging and thoughtful! Definitely an experience we will remember and benefit from. Well recommended!

Jessica Robb Apr 2021


We both loved this workshop! Kristine really knows her stuff, and made the whole thing simple and fun.

Gita Zuber Apr 2021


My partner and I absolutely loved the experience! Don't get discouraged by the outside look of the building as what you'll find inside is wonderful.
Christy was calm, kind and we truly felt like we were in good hands. All the little extras like snacks, a goodie bag and a great chat were such a bonus as well. Thanks so much for the experience, we'll recommend it!

Olivia Lovell Apr 2021


Kristine is a great masseuse and a great teacher! It's a very relaxed vibe with only 4 students at a time, and Kristine is good at making everyone feel comfortable. The course runs out of an apartment block, so it isn't overly fancy, but totally adequate for what is needed. We had a great time, and it was amazing value for money. I would absolutely recommend.

Jamie Le Apr 2021


Great experience. Would definitely recommend. Great value as well, $180 for a couple and a fun day out.

Absolutely incredible! Would recommend this to anyone looking for a wholesome afternoon of learning how to massage your friends or loved ones.

Norma Turner Feb 2021


Just had a couples massage class with Christine as teacher and it was awesome! Went for 4 hours but felt really quick! She was professional but also so friendly and was happy to answer any questions we had. We learned how to give each other full body massages, with correct techniques including what parts of your hands to use for each manouevre. Great value for money and a fun way to spend an afternoon with your partner or new date. Confident that we now know how to massage properly. Thanks Christine!

Gerard Pais Feb 2021


Christine was awesome, her class was intimate and informational. My wife and I loved it, highly recommended!

Mary Tuazon Feb 2021


Kristine was professional without being uptight. She has a few jokes up her sleeves without being inappropriate. Her choice of metaphors or names to describe the movements/ techniques are smart and make it easier to remember them. When she does the demo to the client receiving the massage, she moves with grace & flow. You definitely know she has extensive experience as she’s able
to adjust to the client’s preferences just based on a slight, sometimes barely noticeable cues.

Venue was clean (with thoughtful details; won’t give further clues ) It would’ve been better if the outdoor noise was not that audible.

Won’t spoil any further as you would have to experience it yourself. I would say there were pleasant surprises. For the amount we paid, we felt we got a lot more value as Kristine packaged the experience to be delightful from beginning to end.

Hannah Cheers Feb 2021


This was an amazing class ! We loved it so much, Kristine was an incredible teacher, so helpful and made us all feel really comfortable. Will definitely be buying the class voucher as a gift for my loved ones!

Rachael Brown Feb 2021


The massage course was great, very comprehensive and enjoyable for both people as you take turns giving and receiving a full body massage. It was a small class – just two couples – so it's easy to ask questions and get personalised feedback from the teacher. My partner and I really enjoyed being able to connect with each other, and the course is very good value for money.

Christopher Tang Feb 2021


Kristine is an amazing instructor and massage therapist. My wife and I had a wonderful experience learning about massage techniques and have picked up some skills we can apply at home. Looking to untangle some knots or just enjoy some relaxation after work, this massage workshop will teach you everything you need to know. Highly recommend giving Mandara Massage a go!

Matthew Hoang Feb 2021


We learnt so many techniques from this workshop. It was a great experience and would recommend to all my friends and family who are intersted in having the magic touch!

Adam Dennis Feb 2021


The couples massage course was excellent. It was very professional and we learned so much. Christine was a brilliant teacher and explained the techniques very clearly.

Ruth Pugh Jan 2021


We had a wonderful afternoon with Christine. There were so many small touches that went above and beyond the massage to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Such incredible value for money as we both received a 1.5 hr massage while our partner was instructed on what to do. It was a lot to remember so glad we also received some videos at the end to remind us. Highly recommend this experience.

Peter Hofstaetter Dec 2020


Kristine was an amazing instructor. We both learnt so much which we will definitely be putting into practice. Luckily due to covid we were the only couple which meant we had Kristine to ourselves for one-to-one instruction. We also had an added bonus at the end with a fantastic goodie bag which included a pump bottle of massage oil. Overall the class was fantastic and would highly recommend others to give it a try.

Adrijana Monevska Dec 2020


A fantastic massage workshop with an excellent teacher. Kristine is a very experienced massage therapist and was able to share her knowledge with us during a very informative course. We have learned so much and ended up being the only course attendants which gave us more time to learn new massage techniques. I can highly recommend this course. We even received a gift bag at the end of the course!

Great class! Really hands on. Taught us a full body massage plus after class we got links to a few videos with tips and reminders so you didn't have to worry about trying to remember everything. Didn't rush, we went a bit overtime but Christine didn't cut the class shorter which was much appreciated. The only downside is that the location is in a residential block of units which is totally fine once you get in because it is set up as a massage studio but it fills you with a bit of doubt as you are arriving.

We had a great time with Kristine! She made it more than a class, it was an experience. We really enjoyed learning how to target specific muscles and focus on what our partner likes. She kept us very well fed with a few snack breaks, and even sent us home with a bag of goodies! She is very knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable. We certainly recommend this workshop! Thank you, Kristine!

We had an absolutely lovely 5 star experience. Kristine was an amazing teacher - patient, experienced and respectful!
The venue was well set-up and the ambience was perfect, we learnt so much and got a cute goodie bag to make sure we do practice more.
Would recommend to all everyone interested in massage.

A lot of valuable knowledge and the teacher was fantastic !

Jessica Austin Aug 2020


This is possibly the best present I have ever bought someone - which I also benefitted from!
Kristine is amazingly gentle, good humoured and insightful - she has an intuition of her clients and is highly professional.
Admittedly the building is little deceptive, but on entering her premises we were nothing short of relaxed and comfortable.
I have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone and everyone - do yourself a favour!

Highly recommend this couples massage class! Christine was an amazing teacher. We had a wonderful and relaxing time. The class was held in a small, but cosy room and all materials were provided for at the end. Christine explained everything slowly and in detail and we had so much fun!

My partner and I have been wanting to go for a massage class for a while now. So when I saw this on Class Bento, we jumped at the opportunity. Our teacher Kristine was warm, friendly, and professional throughout. The venue was small and cosy, and felt just right. The ambience of the room was set-up really well, with scented candles and warm towels for us to use. This really sets the mood for a massage.

The session was really hands-on. One person went first, while the other was the 'guinea pig'. After the first person was done, we then did a swap. Kristine would first demonstrate the strokes and we would follow. We learnt different massage techniques and how to apply them properly. She also gave us tips on how we can improve our strokes, and shared about the do's and don'ts.

We also loved the fact that tea and snacks were provided during our break, and after the class. This small gesture made a huge difference because all that massaging made us hungry. It showed the extra effort Kristine put to take care of us, which we really appreciated.

We would definitely recommend this to our friends and family. Its such a relaxing and meaningful activity that you can bond over, not forgetting that it's also super value for money because we learnt something new, got a full body massage, AND a goodie-bag at the end of the class (a scented candle and a bottle of massage oil). We can't wait to practice on each other when we get home!

Thank you Kristine!

We had a wonderful class with Kristine. The entire experience was fun, professional and great value for money from start to finish. Kristine is an incredibly patient and knowledgeable teacher and all the extra touches like the snacks and gift bag at the end made it even more special. Thanks for a wonderful afternoon. I would recommend this experience without question.

Guillermo Diaz Jun 2020


Thank you so much Kristine for your thoughtful fun and seamless massage workshop. From the moment we arrived we felt extremely well taken care of and were able to relax and enjoy learning the techniques.

Angela Jun 2020


The teacher was warm and professional and guided us through what to do in a clear and succinct way. We enjoyed the massage and being able to learn together was a great experience. Highly recommend and value for money!

Carly Burns May 2020


We had such a wonderful afternoon learning some skills that will benefit both of us in the future. Our instructor was beautiful. Calm and patient, we were comfortable in the environment. Great little touch with snacks provided and a lovely take away gift. Our first Classbento experience and we'll definitely use this site to book unique gift and date night/day experiences in the future.

Andrew Howie May 2020


This was absolutely incredible! The instructor was so lovely, patient and genuine in wanting us to get the most out of it that we could. The venue inside is so beautifully done. Such a wonderful, calm, peaceful environment created, very creatively. The class is incredibly good value for money, because not only do you learn the skills, but you also get a LONG massage out of it too. Would highly recommend this to anyone who is thinking about it. The content covered everything we wanted it to, and we were provided with notes to take home after to help us remember everything!
So great. Thank you!

Aidan Nguyen May 2020


A lovely experience from start to finish. Our teacher, Christine, was an absolute delight to learn from. Both my partner and I left feeling very refreshed. Highly recommended.

Rachel Lorizio May 2020


Our massage class with Kristine was the perfect combo of relaxation and learning new skills all rolled into one morning. Kristine is a patient and enthusiastic teacher and not to mention amazing with her hands. We seriously recommend this for couples looking for a few hours of bonding over massage, laughs and learning

Penny Hare May 2020


Kristine was a fabulous teacher. Great pace for learning as well as the massage being enjoyable to the massage recipient. Highly recommend the class.

Ashleigh Brown Mar 2020


This was a fantastic class! Kristine was a great teacher, very patient and gave clear and simple instructions. The class ran at a good pace but there were plenty of opportunities to ask questions. All the materials provided were of high quality and the goodie bag at the end was a bonus. The location of the class was easy to find and Kristine did a great job creating a lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend!

Belinda Lam-Duong Mar 2020


Kristine's class was definitely worth every cent! Kristine was very friendly and helpful (and not to mention, very funny and witty as well)! It was a very safe and non-judgemental environment so we felt very comfortable throughout the entire workshop.
The materials that were provided were very helpful and informative. Would (and already have) recommended this class to my family, friends and workmates!

Stephen Ginsburg Mar 2020


My partner and I both did this course and thoroughly enjoyed it. Christine is a great teacher. Can highly recommend anyone into massages doing this course.
Thanks Christine

Akos Lumnitzer Feb 2020


Very friendly and relaxed environment. The teacher was knowledgeable and thorough. We learnt so much during the time spent there.
Excellent guidance throughout the session and we completely enjoyed the proper way to massage.

Matt Hillocks Feb 2020


Kristine was really good as a teacher, she gave fantastic instruction and lead by example. We did a quick intro bit, then she did the first round of massages, we then stopped for light refreshments, then did the second round. At the end she gave us a brownie each and some tea, as well as a little gift bag. Great experience, fantastic learning experience, and I've taken quite a lot from the course. Massively recommend!

Raymon So Feb 2020


Upon driving to the location, we were a little confused at first as it was a residential area. But once within the room, everything made sense! The place was had great ambience, clean, and though small for 3 couples, felt more homely and intimate because of it. The set up was professional and well thought out with massage beds, towels, oils, incense etc. The part that made the whole experience worthwhile was definitely our instructor - Kristine. She was amazing! She was kind and generous with her explanations and tutorials, allowed a generous amount of time for everybody to understand and be comfortable with what they were doing. And she was utterly professional yet inviting and friendly so that we all were enjoying the time there. She had some special little touches that I won't mention here but it did add that little extra to the whole experience. Would highly recommend this experience - it's something that is unique and can perpetually benefit you and your partner!

Kylie Tung Feb 2020


Such a fun and worthwhile experience! Kristine was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable teacher, and made us feel really comfortable. She had fluffy robes, great equipment and food and drink for us which were nice additional touches. Would definitely recommend!

Tiahn Melhem Feb 2020


LOVED this class so much. As soon as we walked in Christine was sooo accomodating. From the cold refreshments to the half time cookie break and then to end on brownies and strawberries she really went above and beyond to make this experience even better than expected.
I received such an amazing massage from my partner from her clear and concise directions, her hands on demonstrations were amazing too!
She is very knowledgable to has taken alot of time to organised and construct these workshops to perfection.
HIGHLY recommend, had such an amazing day with my partner. Thank you so much

Nigel Burr Feb 2020


Kristine was an amazing teacher and provided a real hands on massage session at the Mandara Massage class. The venue was serene and relaxing and made for a truly memorable experience. The teaching room is compact but very comfortable and all your need are attended to. This is a great opportunity for couples to get to know each other better and learn about the benefits of massage. Highly recommended.

Danielle Reid Jan 2020


Fantastic teacher. Wonderful value. Must do activity for couples. We had a lovely time learning how to provide each other a massage, a great skill we plan to use regularly

Donya Vahdani Jan 2020


Very comprehensive class which made us feel very comfortable. We learnt some great skills we will definitely use again :)

Oonagh Connor Jan 2020


Kristine was excellent. I booked this for my partner and she was thrilled with it. We both got to massage each other for an hour and a half under Kristines guidance. Setting was in her peaceful studio and she put in alot of effort with homemade brownies, strawberries and iced tea in between breaks. We even got a goodie bag at the end!

Christine is a skilled and professional teacher. She was so thoughtful and led us through an enjoyable massage. The class was not overcrowded (only me and my partner and another couple). The lesson was taught in a fully customised massage parlour in her apartment. New wooden massage tables. Clean, warm towels. All equipment was clean and modern (she even had a towel steamer). Essential oils were burning. We were given refreshments midway and also at the end. We were also given a gift bag at the end of class and the massage oil we practised with during the class. The gifts and hospitality were totally unexpected. It made the experience very special. We felt very welcome and were treated like royalty. Considering the cost, this class was excellent value for money. My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves and feel like we have the tools to continue practising at home. Christine even gave us personalised techniques for our specific ailments. We cannot recommend this class highly enough. Thank you, Christine. xx

Mark Luo Dec 2019


Fantastic class, really helped us as a couple to massage better with more professional techniques. Kristine was patient and really detailed in helping us out.

Lorraine Wallace Nov 2019


Great class, fun & comfortable atmosphere. Teacher created good vibe to make it instructive and yet personal for the couple at the same time. Lovely touch with the snacks & treats at the end. Would definitely recommend.

Tyrone Phan Oct 2019


Great teacher, very informative and personalized. We have definitely improved our massaging techniques with each other and will use them often.

Krista Hulm Oct 2019


My partner and I had a great time this massage workshop. At first it we weren't sure we were at the right place as it's hosted in a residential building. Once inside, the room was very comfortable, clean and nicely set up with a relaxing ambience. We were the only couple and were lucky to have a private session. Christine was a very professional and experienced teacher. She would clearly explain and demonstrate how to do different techniques and we would have a go at practising a couple of moves at a time on each other. She made us feel comfortable, allowed us to ask questions and gave great feedback to let us know when we were on track or not. We learnt a lot about massage that we can take home and apply. We highly recommend this enjoyable experience to other couples.

Heidi Sep 2019
