Meet The Team
Founder & Head Trainer
Meet Debbie: Her healing journey began early, inspired by her family’s wisdom. Fascinated by massage since 1988, she switched from hospitality to teaching in 1991, igniting her passion for empowering others. A Dual Master in Aromatherapy and Natural Therapy led her to Nalu Massage Training, where she discovered Lomi Lomi and the spirit of Aloha. Now, as Nalu’s custodian, Debbie shares her knowledge, guiding others on their healing paths.

I’m Jodie, offering Lava Shell massage courses in Tweed Heads. With 20 years of experience in deep tissue, Swedish, Lomi Lomi, and Reiki, I blend techniques for healing and relaxation. I also provide Lava Shell training for massage businesses in the Tweed and Northern Rivers.
Hi my name is Renae and I have had the honour to complete training in the hands of the amazing Debbie 3 times now, completing Hot Lava Shell Massage, Lava Mumma Massage and the Nalu Breathwork, I am also about to do another training with Deb which I truly cannot wait for and, be apart of this amazing tribe.
From the moment I meet Debbie I knew I would walk away with something truly incredible and unique to offer to others in my community. Deb made the experience spectacular, I felt at home, while receiving the most professional and inspiring training I have ever experienced. As a massage therapist of 19 years I have done many training courses and I have never felt more confident, comfortable and motivated as I have with Nalu Academy.
Much love Renae x

With over 35 years of experience in energy healing and bodywork, Kylee is a dedicated and compassionate holistic therapist committed to helping clients achieve positive, lasting change. Kylee’s journey came when they were introduced to Lava Shell Massage by a dear friend and fellow Pisces, Jen. The Lava Shells, known for their soothing warmth and healing properties, resonated deeply with Kylee’s Piscean connection to the sea.

Hello, I’m Em Rouse, a Lomi Lomi Massage Therapist and a Nalu massage trainer. I am a dedicated facilitator committed to guiding your growth and self-empowerment as a practitioner and as a person. I offer a space filled with compassion, comfort and care while you learn new skills and wisdom.
My approach to teaching combines reconnecting with your own self, finding balance and honoring the energies at play, and acquiring the art of therapeutic touch, carrying healing intention and honoring intuition.
I officially started massaging in 2012 and since then this beautiful gift has taken me on many journeys traveling as far as remote Aboriginal communities in Arnhem land NT.
In my practice every session is a sacred journey, one where you are invited to surrender to the power of gentle hands, mindful presence, intimate connection, and the healing energy that flows naturally.
