Hi, I'm Debbie Gillespie, Director of BodyMind Balance.  I have a broad base of experience and training in energy and bodywork spanning more than 15yrs which focuses on the mind/body link to achieve balance and peace for clients.  My strengths and life skills include:

• Core Strengths: Insightful, grounded and real
• Ability to support a client’s process in a very practical way 
• Mother of two awesome children
  
• Corporate sales and management experience 
• Successfully facilitated personal development groups and workshops

How I got here and where I am now!

Following an overseas break from corporate life, I trained in Holistic Massage in 1993.  It was while in full time practice, I realised massage focusing on the body alone had its limits, and a key part of my practice now is the mind/body connection. Both personal and professional experience have confirmed that our emotions, patterns of behaviour and physical reality are interwoven and when treatments acknowledge and work with this framework, the results are often more expedient and long lasting.

With training and certification in a variety of body and energy work including over 15yrs of massage (trained in Holistic Massage Therapy under Dave Tremain, who ran the Auckland College of Massage at that time), Aquarian Healing (Diploma 2005), First Light Flower Essences,  Homeobotanicals, three levels in Reiki Tummo as well as experience as a Practice Nurse and Client Educator role in an Ayurvedic clinic, I am able to draw on an extensive knowledge base to assist clients integrate mind, body and spirit.  

My continual interest in assisting people establish balance and be empowered in their lives has led to the creation and delivering of a corporate stress management programme, facilitation of personal development and spiritual groups as well as the creation of a range of crystal essences - Soul Heart Essences. I have also written a book on motherhood and am currently working on the illustrations to complete it. 

My commitment to you is to provide an empowering space within which you can connect to your inner power, peace and wisdom.
