About me...

I grew up in a small coastal town of NSW where

I developed a great love of the salt water. As a

child I was extremely lucky to survive a water sports accident which left me with significant injuries to my body and a lifelong journey of learning to manage the physical trauma and resulting health issues. Seeking relief, I discovered and explored many bodywork therapies and after experiencing the benefits first hand, my curiosity grew in to a quest to learn about the ancient healing arts.

Now as a bodywork therapist, I am passionate about relieving people of their pain, restoring balance, movement and function within the body, helping my clients achieve their optimum health and wellbeing.

I formally began studies in bodywork and natural health in 2002. My learning journey has evolved over the years due to my personal experiences, the results I have achieved with my clients and the wonderful opportunities I have undertaken to learn from highly knowledgeable and skilled teachers

During motherhood, I have learnt the immense value of bodywork during pregnancy, birth and beyond. Bowen therapy has been a powerful remedy, helping my children through developmental milestones and childhood discomforts. This modality has helped to manage a genetic connective tissue disorder within our family and improved our general health, tamed teething and tummy pain and assisted in healing bumps, aches, sprains and breaks!

In the busy and often stressful world we live in, we too frequently find ourselves strained mentally, physically or emotionally.

Medicine Hands Health & Wellbeing is here to provide you with the support you need to restore balance and function, relax the mind, reduce anxiety, relieve pain and tension and replenish your energy and vitality.

I am now offering massage and bowen therapy treatments from my home clinic in Raworth

(near Morpeth) in NSW.

‘I have had a few massages from Deb - I honestly have never had such a deeply relaxing, restorative massage before. I’ll be back. Thank you’

‘I am feeling much better, less stress and more comfortable movement, thanks.’

‘For the past 15 years I have tried all forms of therapy to help relieve the severe arthritic joint and muscle pain, back pain and constant headaches that I suffer and nothing has really worked.

My wife suggested I try Bowen Technique; however I didn’t think this gentle form of therapy would be of any value for real pain. Eventually I agreed to try a session despite being very sceptical that it would help, so I arranged a session with Debbie Isbill from Medicine Hands. To my surprise and delight Debbie helped me from this very first session.

I have now had 6 sessions with Debbie and she has helped to greatly improve my arthritic and general joint pain, help reduce the severity and frequency of my leg muscle cramps, improved my severe neck pain and greatly improved the movement of my neck and other joints. I had also suffered with a constant headache at the base of my skull for over two years requiring the use of large dose of pain killers. After only two sessions with Debbie this headache disappeared completely and now only occasionally returns, in a milder form, when I have been involved in some extra physical activity.

I have no reservations about the effectiveness of Bowen Technique and I would thoroughly recommend Debbie Isbill as a practitioner of Bowen Technique to everyone who suffers from severe pain, as I did, and in fact for the improvement of your overall health, a side effect I have enjoyed.’

‘Early 2011, I retired to Forster in need of emotional and physical healing; my intention being to swim with the dolphins. Three days into my trip and due to increased activity, I was in considerable pain, loosing function of my arms and barely able to walk. I had sustained spinal injuries, impaired neurology and developed fibromyalgia due to a car accident in 2000. I needed help fast to avoid cancelling my dolphin swim and Bowen therapy was my preference due to amazing results I had experienced in the past.

I made contact with Debbie from Medicine Hands who kindly made time for me after hours and worked until I was pain free and posturally realigned. Debbie has a gentle and compassionate energy yet her treatments are powerful and very effective. My arms and legs were working again, I felt stronger, peaceful and very grateful. The following day I was bursting with energy, clearer of mind and lighter of heart, which made my dolphin swim more enjoyable and anxiety free. I returned home ‘healthier’ and more capable of dealing with recent family trauma.

Thank you Debbie! You are a beautiful soul and gifted healer. Your success as a Bowen Therapist is guaranteed and I would highly recommend you, especially to those suffering from multiple issues that would benefit greatly from this wonderful ‘holistic’ therapy and your ‘medicine hands!’

‘I highly recommended Deb Isbill for the most relaxing and nourishing massage in the Maitland area.’

- Rachel Lawrie, Maitland NSW

We have visited Deb at Medicine Hands for my children’s health. She is such a considerate and gentle therapist and helped to make my children feel at ease and comfortable the whole appointment. I saw improvements in their sleep patterns and their balanced bodies! I work as a naturopath and love being able to send referrals to such wonderful support we have access to in our Maitland region.
