Mangata Massage: Compassionate Care and Healing

Hi! I’m Mary Nougher, owner of Mangata Massage. I am a remedial massage therapist, an Accredited Lymphoedema Practitioner with the Australasian Lymphology Association, a Reiki Master, and a proud member of Lipoedema Australia and the Association of Massage Therapists. My journey in this field began in 2014 when I founded my business on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. These days, I spend my time amongst the glorious mountains of Canberra, continuing my passion for healing and wellness.

After making a significant career transition from an administrative background, I truly feel like I have 'come home' to this incredible profession. I am deeply passionate about what I do, and witnessing the positive changes in people after receiving massage, Reiki, or thought field is so rewarding. It never ceases to amaze me when clients say 'wow, my pain has gone!’

At Mangata Massage, we provide compassionate, evidence-based treatments including remedial/therapeutic massage, manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), compression garment measurement and supply, oncology massage, and scar therapy. Our mission is to support clients through all stages of healing—whether recovering from surgery, managing the side effects of cancer treatment, or seeking gentle relief from lipoedema, lymphoedema or other chronic conditions.

We recognise that every body tells a unique story, and we approach each session with professionalism, sensitivity and respect to ensure the best possible care for every client.

Massages are available in our tranquil clinic room, located at Northside Massage and Nutrition in Lyneham, ACT. Additionally, I am fortunate to work with an amazing team of therapists who provide mobile massage to vulnerable and elderly clients across the Mornington Peninsula, the south-east Melbourne suburbs, as well as Canberra and surrounding areas.

We look forward to assisting you.
