My journey as a remedial massage and lymphatic drainage therapist began around 35 years ago and I still experience great satisfaction from helping people to feel 'brighter, looser and lighter' .
It all started 1989, when at a ’sea-change’ moment in my life, a strong intuitive feeling led me to enrol in my first massage course with Traditional Chinese Therapeutic Acupressure and Meridian Massage, (TCMM).
This course blended the TCM theories of the meridians, five elements and yin/yang with basic anatomy and emphasised a holistic approach to the body. It also included the use of cupping and gua sha practices and I quickly developed a successful practice and continued for several years solely with this modality.
In 1995, after experiencing the wonderfully rejuvenating effects of Traditional Thai Therapeutic Massage, (TTTM), at a Thai Medical College in Bangkok, I completed a Certificate and followed this with a Diploma of Traditional Thai Therapeutic Massage, in Thailand and Australia respectively.
Basing my treatments on the eastern techniques of TCMM and TTTM, I was able to give my clients a thoroughly therapeutic and at times remedial experience.
In 2008, at a one-day seminar on Manual Lymphatic Drainage, (MLD), I experienced the almost immediately soothing effect from having this technique demonstrated on me, and this happened to be a side effect to the main purpose of stimulating flow of lymph fluid. This opened a new dimension of tuning into the various tissue structures the just below the skin surface, before even approaching the musculoskeletal zone, and soon after I completed first two levels Dr. Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage.
From this my interest in finding out more about massage and other related bodywork techniques from the Western approach was peaked and working around family commitments and a part time practice, I eventually completed a Diploma of Remedial Massage.
During this time, I also completed the last two levels of Dr. Vodder MLD, a specialised postgraduate level course, relating specifically to the treatment of lymphoedema.
Completing the Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy (or Advanced Remedial Massage) in 2019, was a natural progression, especially from the Remedial Diploma and has given more depth to my remedial treatments.
I always feel in my element when working with my hands and passionate about using these modalities to help people feel better in their bodies. Added to that, the privilege of spending time with clients 1-to-1 is an enjoyable and enriching experience for me. So, all in all, my profession as a bodyworker is one of the most fulfilling parts of my life.

"After having my treatment with Debby I experienced a big relief from the pain in my shoulders and neck. Debby has an obvious connection to the human body and is skilful at detecting the weak, sensitive and attention needing body parts. I have been recommending Debby to many people because of growing trust I have in her."
Annie W. 2016.
"I have been treated by Debby for the past three years initially for a lower back injury and related ongoing preventative maintenance. Her skilled approach has given me great relief when other therapies haven't and I credit Debby with my being free of the persistent pain that has troubled me for years. In addition, I have found relief from cold and flu symptoms and she has been able to help my body back into balance. Debby is a caring and skilled therapist and I am happy to have the experience of being her client. Thank you so much!"
Simon G.
'"I would highly recommend Debby if you are looking for a professional experienced clinical and relaxation massage therapist. Debby has experience in a variety of massage techniques including Thai and remedial. From the moment you step into her clinic you feel a lovely feeling of calmness and serenity. Gentle music is played and a lovely aroma of sensual oils is present. Debby takes a medical history and works on the affected areas. Debby’s hand are strong and she works deep within the tissue. I have been attending Debby’s practice for four years and each time I walk out I feel so relaxed and rejuvenated.”
Judy S.
Regarding the Thai massage
"Extremely satisfactory in relieving deeper stiffness and tension (i.e. tendons, etc).
Pleasantly surprised at the effect – a combination of feeling as if I have had a yoga workout and relaxation. Excellent."
Mary C.
Regarding the Thai massage
"Quite a different form of massage. Really enjoying the stretching.
Like the interactive aspect of practitioner and client, appears to be mutually beneficial. Body feels great and really loose so far."
