My professional career started in Croatia as a physiotherapist. Since coming to Australia, I worked as a Physiotherapy Assistant in a Rehabilitation hospital, living my passion in looking after and caring for patients of all ages that were facing different health challenges and issues in neurology, orthopaedics and rheumatology.

Woman’s health has always been one of my strong interests, but since graduating, my focus grew into a wider interest in different reflexology modalities. This genuine interest has taken me into the next few years of intense studying to be able to offer a desired reflexology treatments to varied clientele.

I practice different reflexology modalities; traditional and TCM foot reflexology, facial reflexology, Reproductive and Fertility Reflexology, Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage.

I specialise in Neuro Facial Reflexology (Sorensensistem), a unique and very effective complementary holistic therapy that uses the bases of Chinese Traditional Medicine, Acupressure points, Oriental Energy Meridians together with the Modern Neuro- Anatomy to help improve the underlying imbalances which often manifest in our bodies in the form of physical, mental, hormonal and/or emotional issues.

Always wanting to help my clients in achieving their desired health and wellbeing goals, I place a great importance on a continuing education, broadening the knowledge with advanced courses and techniques. Throughout last year I have been travelling to and from Denmark to study at the International Institute of Reflex Therapy under a founder, director of the Institute and my mentor, professor Lone Sorensen, being the first and only facial reflexologist in Australia to obtain the diploma in Temprana Brain Rehabilitation and Home Training Reflex Therapy.

Based on the extensive professional experience and as a result of studies, I have been appointed by the International Institute of reflexology as a National Instructor of Specialised post- grad Neuro Facial Reflexology Courses in Australia and Tasmania.

Strongly believing in giving back to the community, I participate in voluntary programs (Royal Melbourne Hospital, Oncology day ward- Epworth Hospital) with a scope to accompany a professor and mentor Lone Sorensen on her travels to Oman on a yearly bases to treat disabled children that are unable to afford any form of medical care.

Doriana developed an interest in spiritual and holistic practices after experiencing some trauma. On this journey, she found a healer who assisted her in overcoming her fear, building her self-esteem and discovering her passions.

Doriana’s employment background has been to assist others, from assisting people to find work, to support work for the Disabled and then in early childhood education. In 2016, Doriana went on to complete the Reiki courses, both levels I and II so she would be able to assist others in the same way she was. Doriana would love for more people to know about Reiki and how it can help them to reduce symptoms of anxiety/stress, give them the confidence to do things that they wouldn’t normally do, and build a stronger connection with themselves.
