On-Site Wellbeing: Bringing Massage to the Mining Industry
There is a quiet shift happening at Western Australia’s mining sites. A growing understanding says that wellbeing is not a luxury, but a necessity.
At the centre of this movement is Collette Lynch, owner of Perth Corporate Massage. Collette has spent years bringing practical, grounded wellness support directly to employees where they work. Not just at mining sites but for small business and government work spaces throughout WA.
Massage at work increases staff retention and overall productivity.
Whether it’s a corporate office in the CBD or a remote mining site hours away from home, PCM’s approach remains the same: meet people where they are physically and emotionally, and offer simple, effective care that eases the strain of demanding environments.
A familiar scene on many sites is a high-visibility uniform, dusty boots, and a grateful smile after a short seated massage.
The impact of even a ten minute head and shoulder massage can be profound. Shoulders drop, breathing slows, and tension quietly built up over a lengthy shift, falls away. Such small moments of self care ripple outward, improving morale, focus, loyalty and shedding lightness over and workplace culture.
Behind the scenes, Collette’s days are rarely ordinary. One week may see her coordinating therapists across multiple corporate events or arranging therapists travelling between government and private company offices.
On another day, she is boarding an early flight, blue top and carry-on in hand, heading for a stint massaging on remote mine sites. Travel is simply part of the rhythm of industries that operate far beyond metropolitan boundaries.
Collette’s motivation is human.
“I know there is pain,” she says, referring not only to physical discomfort, but the fatigue, pressure, and isolation many workers quietly carry. “Because my Sons do this kind of work.” (Collette has 6 Sons!)
An empathetic approach and understanding about the pressures and pitfalls of FIFO work shapes Perth Corporate Massage’s philosophy.
Wellness should feel accessible, respectful, and real, not indulgent or out of reach.
Images from the field tell the story better than any brochure. A relaxed worker giving a thumbs-up after a session. A candid airport snapshot of Collette between flights, returning from site work with the same steady energy she brings to each booking. These moments capture what corporate wellbeing looks like in practice — not staged, not polished, just genuine care delivered consistently.
Mine Site Wellbeing is Performance
As organisations increasingly recognise the link between employee wellbeing and performance, on-site massage is becoming less of an occasional perk and more of a considered investment.
For Collette and her team, the goal is not extravagance; it is sustainability. Helping people feel better in their bodies so they can continue showing up at work, at home, and in their communities with a more relaxed attitude and with greater ease.
In an industry often defined by productivity and output, Perth Corporate Massage offers something quietly powerful: We give your staff permission to pause, reset, and continue stronger than before.
