Alternative Therapists

Always Check With The Therapist,  About Her Current Times.

The Central Coast Community Women’s Health Centre is committed to providing a low cost quality holistic care service. We have therefore leased rooms at our Centres, at certain times, to qualified Alternative Therapist’s at a minimal charge so that they can provide a low cost service to you.

The Therapists have signed a Contract with the CCWHC and are responsible for their own bookings, cancellations and collection and receipting of fees. APPOINTMENTS must be made with the therapist. FEES charged will be kept at a low cost of $40 per session. A session is 45-50 minutes duration. Please check with your health fund to see if you are eligible for a rebate.

VOUCHERS are available to CCCWHC clients and may entitle clients to fully subsidised session. Please speak to the Community Development or Health Development Worker at Peninsula and Northern Women’s Health Centre. Or a health worker/counsellor or doctor at Wyoming Women’s Health Centre to see if you are eligible.

Massage Therapy With Debbie Schalk

Debbie is a qualified Massage Therapist and is at the Peninsula WHC on Tuesdays and Fridays and Northern WHC on Thursdays.

In December 2000 she completed a Diploma in Health Science (Massage Therapy) at Loftus TAFE. The practical subjects covered were Swedish Massage, Remedial Massage and Sports Massage.

Debbie understands the pressures and demands on women in society and has a great passion for women’s health. She deeply acknowledges and believes in the benefits of massage for women and making time to nurture themselves in their busy, demanding lifestyles.

Women have a right to expect to be treated in a holistic way in the area of health and Debbie feels massage is an important approach. Ongoing massage therapy has a cumulative effect, which can improve energy levels, circulation, body posturing, general health, stress management and overall confidence.

Debbie is excited about working from the WHC in order to provide the attention and healing to women necessary to their well-being.

She will continue her studies in order to offer varying techniques according to needs.
Debbie looks forward to meeting with you, please phone direct for all appointments.
