Seeking remedial & pregnancy massage therapist

Are you passionate about supporting people on their fertility, pregnancy, or new parenthood journey? Do you love working with those trying to conceive, undergoing IVF, or navigating pregnancy and postpartum recovery?

We’re looking for a skilled and caring massage therapist to join our team at Fertile Ground Health Group – one of Melbourne’s most highly regarded fertility and perinatal practices in natural health. This is a unique opportunity to grow your massage career in a purpose-driven, collaborative, and supportive environment.

Why Choose Fertile Ground Health Group?

For over 25 years, Fertile Ground has been synonymous with exceptional care in reproductive medicine. Our practitioners are well respected among medical specialists and industry experts. We pride ourselves in providing care defined by integrity, compassion, and expertise.

Collaboration and co-creation are at the heart of how we work. We believe this shared approach creates the richest learning environment – one where practitioners, patients, and the entire support team benefit. It’s a space that fosters continuous growth, connection, and professional evolution.

Massage Therapist Position Eligibility

To be eligible for this position, you already have passion, interest and experience as a Massage Therapist in fertility, pregnancy and/or postpartum massage, and beyond.  Ideally, you love working with people trying to conceive, those who are pregnant and new parents, and you want to simplify your practice to focus on being a fantastic practitioner and dedicating your efforts to growing your patient reach and massage career with the support of Fertile Ground.

Great skills and passion for massage is required, along with your desire to develop referrer relationships (with our help) to achieve collaborative patient results. Additional training in fertility or pregnancy massage will be highly regarded, but not essential. Mentoring is available for our signature treatments for fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum (mother roasting) massage.

What We Offer

You’ll receive dedicated business management and admin support, so you can focus on what you do best – caring for your patients. You’ll be part of a collaborative team of well-known and respected professionals, with opportunities to co-create, grow, and thrive in your career.

At Fertile Ground, we support you from every angle – with the tools, mentoring, and guidance to develop your professional profile and build a fulfilling practice. With new patients ready and waiting, and the strength of our trusted reputation behind you, you’ll have the opportunity to grow a thriving, full practice with ease.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for an experienced Massage Therapist who:

  • Is ready to hit the ground to establish a fulfilling practice.
  • Values collaboration and has an ability to develop referrer relationships and patient results.
  • Is willing and wants to establish themselves as a leader in the massage profession.
  • Understands the value of community cultivation, through methods such as social media, writing blogs, potential speaking opportunities (to health professionals or patient groups), and/or running small workshops, classes or support groups (in person or online).

Massage Session Times

You will need to commit to a minimum of two massage sessions (days) per week, with a minimum of 4 massages per session. There is immediate room for more sessions than this or growth if desired. You will be working in one of Australia’s most intentionally beautiful and vibrant clinic spaces with an extensive dispensary supplying the entire clinic’s prescription needs at The Melbourne Apothecary.

Seeking Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Practitioner

Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Practitioner – Fertility & Women’s Health Melbourne

Fertility, Reproductive Health, Women’s Health & Integrative Care
Fertile Ground Health Group | Fitzroy | Melbourne

This is a rare opportunity to build a deeply rewarding acupuncture practice

Opportunities like this do not come around often.

One of our highly regarded, long-standing acupuncturists is relocating overseas to continue her practice in Ubud, Bali. As she transitions, established session times are opening at Fertile Ground. For a practitioner ready to step into strong early momentum, this is a rare opportunity to build a full, sustainable and deeply satisfying practice within a clinic recognised for exceptional care, long-term patient relationships and clinical integrity.

Fertile Ground Health Group

For more than 24 years, Fertile Ground Health Group has been a trusted leader in integrative fertility, pregnancy and family health care in Melbourne. Our reputation has been built on depth, integrity and collaboration, supporting people through fertility journeys, IVF, pregnancy, postpartum care and complex reproductive health experiences.

Many of our patients remain with us for years, sometimes decades. They value continuity of care, thoughtful treatment and practitioners who show up with presence, skill and care.

We work collaboratively across naturopathy, acupuncture, massage, counselling and medical care, and we hold ourselves to a high clinical and ethical standard.

The role – what to expect

You will be stepping into:

  • An initial influx of patients

  • A clinic with consistent demand and strong referrals

  • The opportunity to shape your own clinical load through patient trust, outcomes and retention

Your success in this role will come from how you practise – your clinical skills, communication, consistency and ability to build long-term therapeutic relationships.

Who this opportunity is for

This role will suit a Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Practitioner who:

  • Is AHPRA registered and clinically confident
  • Has experience in fertility, IVF, pregnancy and women’s health
  • Values long-term care and cultivating relationships rather than transactional treatment
  • Is a team player who is driven to contribute, collaborate and engage
  • Wants to build a meaningful, enduring practice within an established clinic

You are someone who takes responsibility for your practice, while valuing the support and structure of a respected clinic environment.

Clinical focus

Your work may include:

  • Fertility and preconception support
  • IVF care
  • Menstrual and hormonal health
  • Pregnancy and postpartum care
  • Nervous system regulation, stress and whole-person wellbeing

You will practise alongside a multidisciplinary team and have access to a full Chinese Herbal Medicine dispensary, supporting individualised prescriptions and integrative care.

Sessions, structure & growth potential

  • Minimum 2 days per week, with potential for up to 5 days
  • Saturdays included due to strong patient demand
  • Service agreement (commission-based) structure
  • Full reception, booking and administrative support
  • Cross-referrals with Fertile Ground colleagues
  • We provide the platform, systems and patient flow – you build the practice through excellent care and continuity.

Broader career pathways

For practitioners interested in evolving their career further, there may be opportunities to explore:

  • Education, speaking and collaborative projects
  • Deeper integrative work alongside medical specialists
  • Future sole trader or waged roles within our MECCA-based clinic, The Melbourne Apothecary, located inside MECCA Bourke Street

These pathways suit practitioners who want visibility, diversity and long-term professional growth.

Why practitioners choose Fertile Ground

  • Strong reputation and patient trust
  • High standards of care and professional respect
  • Supportive, intelligent, values-aligned team
  • Beautiful, calm clinic environment
  • Work that is clinically rich and deeply meaningful
