Hello
"Hello and welcome. I’m Kirsten Chalmers, and after many rewarding years in psychology and neurodiversity support, I’m beginning an exciting new chapter in Massage Therapy. myturn2talk Psychology is winding down, and in its place, I’m embracing a holistic path focused on wellness and massage therapy. With a new vision comes a new(ish) name: myturn2talk_mindbodybalance.
​
With a deep appreciation for the mind-body connection, my work now centres on helping people reconnect with their physical and emotional well-being through nurturing, restorative bodywork. My background in psychology continues to inform my practice, bringing sensitivity, insight, and care to every session. Whether you're seeking relaxation, renewal, or reconnection, I’m here to support your wellness journey with presence, empathy, and skilled touch."
From Practicing Psychologist to Massage Therapist
While I no longer practise as a psychologist or provide psychological services, my years in the profession remain at the heart of everything I do. The skills, insights and compassion I developed through psychology now inform a more holistic approach to wellbeing — one that honours both the mind and the body.
Through myturn2talk_mindbodybalance, I offer relaxation and corporate massage with a gentle awareness of the nervous system, stress, and emotional health. My focus has shifted from therapy to restoration — creating a space where people can slow down, reconnect, and find calm through mindful touch.

Philosophy:
Mind-Body Connection
Healing is a conversation — sometimes spoken, often felt.
Through years of helping clients manage stress and burnout, I’ve learned that balance begins when we listen to the body as much as the mind.
myturn2talk_mindbodybalance bridges that connection — transforming talk into touch, and awareness into calm.
