Meet Tayla
Professional knowledge with a genuinely personal approach.
Tayla Pethick holds a Bachelor of Nutrition Science from Deakin University and has completed formal massage studies and practical training. Her degree provides a strong grounding in nutrition, human physiology, health behaviour and evidence-informed wellbeing, while her massage education supports safe, attentive and individually responsive bodywork.
Through Respite Wellness, Tayla brings these complementary areas together to provide a holistic service. Each experience considers the relationship between restorative touch, nourishment, rest, recovery and sustainable routines, while remaining tailored to the individual and grounded in the appropriate scope of wellness practice.
