Tomm grew up in rural country Queensland before his family relocated to the Byron Shire in 2009, completing schooling at Byron High and then spending 7 of the next 10 years travelling and working overseas, mostly on superyachts from 2014 to 2020.

His passion for manual therapy had early beginnings through the influence of his mother’s own training in Kahuna Bodywork, giving him an appreciation for the healing power of touch and its necessity in supporting physical and energetic wellbeing.

After experiencing his first burnout at the end of 2019, Tomm decided to pursue training in holistic coaching through the CHEK Institute. This path took him to study of functional anatomy, metabolic nutrition, biomechanics and corrective exercise.

It was through this path of movement coaching that he rediscovered and realised his passion for manual therapy.
He found Howard Rontal, an experienced teacher and therapist with 4 decades of experience, teaching small cohorts in the Byron Shire. His modality, Myofascial Release Massage™, dovetailed perfectly with Tomm’s studies in the physical and mental/emotional aspects of his coaching work.

Tomm proceeded to complete all of Howard’s training and became the first therapist certified under his method in Australia in 2023. He has been practising consistently since then, serving the northern rivers and southern gold coast areas.

Tomm brings his broad scope of knowledge in movement, posture and biomechanics into his client sessions. He is passionate about education, seeking to empower his clients with an understanding of their body.

You can expect to leave each session feeling lighter, more spacious and with greater ease of movement. Clients often report feeling taller, more grounded and with a sense of lightness in their body. The physical benefits are underwritten by the gentle and informative approach with which Tomm engages his clients and each session, leaving people with the sense of being truly taken care of.

Tomm is available Fridays for Myofascial Release Massage.
