A note to our Debod Community.. With love and gratitude, we share the sad news of the passing of our beautiful Fleur Hennessy 🤍

Fleur was a much-loved part of Debod House for many years, working in reception and supporting the heart of the business alongside our former owner, Tina Buckler. She was often the first warm smile clients were welcomed by, and her kindness, compassion, and gentle presence made everyone feel instantly at ease.

During the transition of Debod House into what it is today, Fleur supported me in ways I will always be deeply grateful for. She was a true ray of sunshine, an inspiration, and a beautiful light to all who knew her.

Fleur’s funeral service will be held today:
Wednesday 18th February at 11:30am
Baptist Church, Keepa Road

Our hearts are with Fleur’s family and loved ones during this time. She will forever be remembered as part of the soul of Debod House and our extended wellness community 🤍

Rest gently, dear Fleur 🌿✨

Today we pause with deep gratitude and sadness to honour Steve Buckler.

Without Steve’s vision (alongside his loving wife Tina), their dedication, and belief, Debod House would not be the beautiful wellness space it is today. His legacy lives on in every room, every treatment, and every moment of care shared here.

Thank you, Steve. You will always hold a special place in our hearts. 🤍 appreciation and love to the Buckler Family

PAIN MANAGEMENT & FROZEN SHOULDER

Pain can significantly limit movement and affect sleep, mood, and daily life. Pain management may include medication, lifestyle strategies, and medical guidance aimed at reducing discomfort and inflammation.

When pain is better controlled, the body often feels safer to move — which can support progress across other therapies. Pain management can be an important short- or medium-term support, especially during the more painful phases of frozen shoulder.

Speak to your care team - pain does not have to be your normal
An integrative approach may include your GP, Therapeutic Massage Therapy, Physiotherapy, and modalities such as Osteopathy, Acupuncture, or Bowen therapy. Each supports the body differently — helping to reduce pain, improve movement, calm the nervous system, and encourage the body’s natural healing process.

Message Leanne on 0275408084 and find out how our Debod House Team of Independent Therapists may be able to support you.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER...
Osteopathy and Acupuncture in an Integrative Approach

For many people, frozen shoulder impacts sleep, daily tasks, and quality of life. Because it affects not just the joint, but the surrounding muscles, fascia, and nervous system, support is often most effective when approached from more than one angle.

Osteopathy is a hands-on, holistic approach to healthcare that recognises the close relationship between the body’s structure and how it functions. Osteopaths work with muscles, joints, nerves, fascia, and circulation to support movement, reduce strain, and encourage the body’s natural healing processes. In conditions like frozen shoulder, treatment may look beyond the shoulder itself to address contributing patterns elsewhere in the body.

Acupuncture works through the nervous system and energy pathways, often supporting pain relief, circulation, and relaxation. Many people find it helpful for managing pain and calming the body during recovery.

Because Your Body Deserves to Be Heard

No two bodies are the same.

Even when people share the same diagnosis, how a condition shows up is shaped by many factors — past injuries, environment, movement patterns, emotional stress, structural conditioning, and our relationship with our body over time.

Your experience is unique.
Your body deserves to be heard.
When you come to see me, I take the time to listen — not just to symptoms, but to how your body is presenting for you. Together, we find your ease first, then gently expand from there, supporting your body in a way that feels respectful and empowering.

Whether you’re managing pain, recovering, or simply seeking balance —
your body deserves to be heard.

How Therapeutic Massage May Support Frozen Shoulder

Therapeutic massage focuses on the soft tissues surrounding the shoulder — including muscles, fascia, and connective tissue — which often become tight, protective, or overworked when movement is limited.

With frozen shoulder, massage is not about forcing movement. Instead, it supports circulation, reduces guarding, and helps calm the nervous system. Gentle, informed touch can create a sense of safety in the body, allowing tension to soften and movement to gradually feel more accessible.

Sessions are always guided by how your body responds, working within your comfort and capacity. If massage feels like a supportive next step for your body, I’m here to work with you gently and at your pace. Book a treatment or reach out to discuss your needs. www.debod.net.nz
