For over 20 years, I have had the privilege of supporting people through massage therapy, helping them reconnect with their bodies, find relief from pain, and create moments of calm in often challenging times.

My approach is centred around quality care, listening, and meeting each person where they are. Whether someone is living with chronic pain, navigating cancer treatment and recovery, managing stress, Parkinson's, Fibromyalgia, or simply needing space to rest and restore, every treatment is tailored to their individual needs.

I believe our bodies are constantly communicating with us. Sometimes they ask us to slow down, sometimes they ask us to pay attention, and sometimes they simply need compassionate support.

At Debod Body Therapies, my goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where clients feel heard, respected, and cared for. Together, we find your ease and expand from there.

I look forward to sharing more of my journey, the story behind Debod, and the wonderful community of practitioners who call Debod House home.

Warmly,
Leanne

ARE YOU LISTENING TO WHAT YOUR BODY IS TELLING YOU?

At times our bodies whisper…
And sometimes they ask us to slow down a little louder.

Welcome to Debod House — a collaborative wellbeing space in Whakatāne, created to support both our community and the independent therapists who work within it.
Debod House is home to 8 clinic rooms where experienced practitioners offer a range of professional health and wellbeing services in a caring and respectful environment.

Our services currently include:

• Therapeutic Massage
• Thai Medical Massage
• Oncology Massage
• Lymphedema Management
• Osteopathy
• Bowen Therapy
• Naturopathy
• Respiratory & Asthma Management
• Ear Health
• Mole Mapping

Each practitioner operates independently and appointments are made directly through your therapist, nurse, or organisation.

Over the coming weeks, I’d love to introduce you to the people, purpose, and journey behind Debod House — how this space came to life, why collaborative care matters so deeply to me, and the incredible practitioners who help make this environment so special.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support local health and wellbeing services in our community.

Today, I simply wish our beautiful Debod community a gentle and meaningful Mother’s Day 🌿🤍

May you take a quiet moment to reflect on the special feminine energy in your life — whether that be your mother, grandmother, daughter, friend, partner, or someone no longer physically beside you but forever held in your heart.

Today is a reminder of the love, warmth, nurturing, strength, and guidance that women so often give so freely to others.

May you honour those memories, connections, and moments of care — and perhaps also offer some of that same gentleness back to yourself.

With warmth,
Leanne x
