The name comes from Vivian and Ula, the two founders. The ‘Y’ in the middle represents you — our valued clients. Together, it symbolises harmony, connection, and the beautiful energy shared in every treatment.

Viyula is run by two passionate therapists who treat every client like family. Our personalised approach, calming environment, and blend of Eastern and Western techniques ensure a truly restorative experience.

Yes — arriving 5 minutes early helps us start on time and gives you a moment to unwind, enjoy a refreshment, and fill out any necessary forms if it’s your first visit.

Just yourself and your health fund card if claiming a rebate. If it’s your first visit, you might also like to bring a list of any current concerns or areas you’d like us to focus on.

After your session, we recommend drinking plenty of water, taking it easy, and allowing your body time to rest. This helps flush out toxins and enhances the benefits of your treatment.

Some clients feel immediate relief, while others notice gradual improvement over a few sessions. Consistency and communication with your therapist help achieve the best outcomes.

Yes, especially after a deep tissue or remedial massage. Mild soreness or fatigue is common and should pass within 24–48 hours. It’s a sign your body is healing and adjusting.

If it’s a light relaxation massage — yes. But for remedial work, we suggest waiting at least a few hours or even a day before intense physical activity to let your body recover fully.
