Renée Zamel, Shiatsu massage therapist. Registered member of the Association of Massage Therapists (AMT, member 15383).
Hello, I'm Renée.
Attentive by nature.
Experienced in practice.
Care that feels personal.
Working in Adelaide's eastern suburbs at Breathe Massage & Movement in Dulwich, I create a space for you to slow down and reconnect with your body.
Trained at the Australian Shiatsu College in Melbourne, I bring over 15 years of experience across private practice, allied health clinics and renowned wellness destinations to my Adelaide practice.
My integrative approach blends traditional Zen Shiatsu principles with targeted acupressure, therapeutic massage, myofascial release and gentle assisted stretching.

Your first visit
A little familiarity before you arrive.
- 01
Holistic consultation & foot reflexology
Your session begins with a conversation about how you are feeling, your comfort levels and the areas you would like to focus on. Drawing on traditional Eastern principles, Renée uses reflexology to help you settle, feel grounded and relax into the session.
- 02
Accessible, table-based Shiatsu & massage
Unlike traditional floor-based Shiatsu, Renée's Shiatsu is performed on a massage table. Sessions integrate Shiatsu, therapeutic massage and acupressure with gentle myofascial release and assisted stretching to open areas of the body that might feel tight or restricted.
- 03
Deep rest & ongoing support
Your session is dedicated time to slow down, exhale and let your body reset. Where helpful, Renée also shares simple, practical self-care suggestions to help you maintain that sense of ease between visits.

Book a treatmentWhat should I wear?
It is best to wear light, loose and comfortable clothing for your Shiatsu session, as treatments are performed clothed and through light towelling with minimal use of oils or creams. Sessions take place on a padded massage table supported by towels and bolsters, making Shiatsu gentle, accessible and adaptable to most ages and abilities.
How long is a session?
For initial Shiatsu therapy treatments, a 75 or 90-minute session is recommended. However, 60-minute initial sessions are also available for those with limited time.
Follow-up sessions are recommended around 2 weeks after initial consultations.
Can I have a treatment if I am pregnant or have a serious health condition?
Usually, yes. Please tell Renée about any health concerns before your treatment begins. If you are pregnant or have a serious health condition, it is a very good idea to check with your doctor or midwife that massage is right for you.
Can I claim on private health insurance?
Health fund rebates for Shiatsu stopped in Australia in 2019. Some funds are now bringing them back, so please check with your health fund before booking.
How do I book?
All bookings are made online through Breathe Massage & Movement, where Renée practises. Bookings
