Debod Body Therapies

☕️ **A LITTLE PIECE OF MY STORY…**

I’m very excited to finally share something a little special with my Debod community.

My latest editorial has been published in **La Vita Magazine** — *The Heart of My Story: Finding Purpose, Healing and Community in Whakatāne.*

This one is a little different from the usual things I share here. It’s personal. It’s about my journey to Whakatāne, the experiences that have shaped me, and how Debod House has become such an important part of my life.

It’s also about the people, practitioners and community who make Debod House what it is — because at the heart of everything we do, **people matter.** ❤️

And, of course, there is a little mention of Archie too… because he is very much part of my happy place, both at work and at home. 🐾

So, if you have a quiet moment, make yourself a coffee ☕️, take a little time for yourself and have a read.

I hope you enjoy getting to know a little more about the story behind **Debod Body Therapies and Debod House**.

With gratitude for the journey, the people who have walked alongside me, and this wonderful community I now call home.

🌿 **Stronger Together** 🌿

🌿 A LITTLE UPDATE FROM DEBOD BODY THERAPIES 🌿

There are some exciting changes happening behind the scenes at Debod Body Therapies.

Our new website will go live soon, making it easier to find information about Debod Body Therapies, Debod House, and the wonderful range of health and wellbeing services available in our wider community.

As part of this next chapter, I've reviewed my treatment pricing and how I can continue to provide the care, time, and specialised support my clients deserve.

My treatment prices will increase by $5

🌿 30 minutes — $60
🌿 45 minutes — $80
🌿 60 minutes — $100
🌿 90 minutes — $145

For my existing clients, any appointments already pre-booked will remain at your current rate until 1 November. ❤️

MOST IMPORTANTLY...

I have created something especially for you — my regular clients. ❤️

A Debod Body Therapies Loyalty Programme will recognise and thank those of you who continue to trust me with your regular care, maintenance and wellbeing.

It has been such a privilege to support many of you over the years — through everyday wellbeing, periods of illness and recovery, and significant changes in your health.

I want you to know that your appointments also reach beyond the treatment room.

Your support helps me continue the specialised work I provide for my oncology clients, including my outreach work with Cancer Society and Sweet Louise. It also allows me to continue investing in the education and specialised training needed to maintain and grow the level of care I provide.

So when you choose to continue your care with me, you are also helping support someone else's journey. ❤️

That means a great deal to me.

Thank you for trusting me with your health and wellbeing, for continuing to support my small business, and for being such an important part of the Debod community.

More details about the new Loyalty Programme will be shared soon. 🌿❤️

WE HAVE A SIGN! 🤎

It might seem like a small thing, but for me, seeing the new Debod House roadside sign finally in place feels like quite a milestone.
A big thank you to our building owner for making this happen!

For years, Debod House has quietly grown into a place where independent health and wellness practitioners can work alongside one another, each bringing their own knowledge, skills, and care to the community.

Now, when you drive past 12 Louvain Street, you'll know where we are. 😊

Eight rooms.
One shared belief in connection and wellbeing.

The new sign represents more than just finding the building — it represents the wonderful community of practitioners who call Debod House their professional home.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey so far. 🤎

Debod House
12 Louvain Street, Whakatāne

A place where people remain at the heart.

Stronger Together.

Shhhhhh... ITS A SECRET. visit Whakatāne.info to enter the draw..

💙 **Massage & Multiple Sclerosis (MS)** 💙

I'm pleased to share this informative post from Massage New Zealand & MS Society of NZ

Over the years, I've had the privilege of supporting several clients living with Multiple Sclerosis. Many have shared that regular massage has become an important part of their ongoing health and wellbeing routine, helping them feel more comfortable, more connected to their bodies, and providing valuable time to rest and recharge.

Every person's experience with MS is unique, which is why treatments are always adapted to meet your individual needs on the day.

As a proud Registered Massage New Zealand therapist, I'm committed to providing safe, professional, evidence-informed care for people living with chronic and complex health conditions.

If you or someone you know is living with MS and would like to learn more about how therapeutic massage may support your wellbeing, please feel free to get in touch.
