The Health Exchange is a business that has evolved since it was born in January 2000.
It began as a one-woman Massage Therapy Service undertaking home visits across Melbourne.
It planted its roots in Craigieburn, firstly from a Chiropractic Centre, to then moving out to its own location, allowing for graduating professionals in allied health to set up their individual services
and be supported within a team structure.
We opened a second clinic from the Hume Community and Tennis Centre in Craigieburn
as Craigieburn's farming land was transformed into buzzing communities of homes, schools and shops.
Between the two clinics The Health Exchange supported 40 health professionals across 20 years.
We were the centre for services from head to toe.
These included Acupuncture, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Chiropractic, Counselling, Emmett Therapy,
Herbal Medicine, Kinesiology, Massage, Naturopathy, Osteopathy, Podiatry, Psychology,
Reflexology, Reiki, Shiatsu Therapy, Social Welfare & Tarot Card Readings.
Then COVID-19 arrived and changed lives. It was time for a new direction anyway.
We have returned to a one-woman Massage Therapy service although with 26 years' experience,
we are not sure how much longer we will provide this service. So, if you need a massage, call now or miss out!

Massage Therapy
One Hour $90
EftPos available | HICAPS may apply (ask when make appointment)
Based in Swedish Relaxation techniques, our open hand, not knuckles, rocks or thumbs (maybe sometimes thumbs!) will cover your back, neck, shoulders, arms, legs and feet, leaving you relaxed and moving more freely. It is one hour of hands on, not from when you arrive, so allow more than an hour for the appointment.
Pregnancy Massage Therapy
Initial Consult 90 mins apt (includes half hour history taking + one hour massage) $95
Follow up appointments One Hour $90
At any point of your pregnancy (yes, early weeks too) our specific training in pregnancy massage will help to ease your growing body, reduce your aches and pains and possibly settle your mind as the mixture of hormones flow through your circulatory system. We position you on your side on a lamb's wool underblanket, and cover all parts of your body we are not treating. You will be warm and cared for.
Post-partum Massage Therapy
Home visits 90 mins apt includes set up/pack up with one hour massage, price variable to location, maximum $160. If you have been a pregnant client with us and living in postcode 3064, you may receive a discount
The hard work on your body is not over at childbirth. Another level of exhaustion is coming! A regular massage, at best served in your home in the first 10 weeks, will give you the "time out" your body needs to rejuvenate before returning to baby. Hopefully you have a team of women around you cooking and cleaning and taking care of older children. If not, I can advise you how to create such a team (while you are still pregnant). Once the baby comes, you will not have the mind or the time to organise it then (and don't rely on your partner - if you are not sleeping, he/she is not sleeping and will need taking care of too).

We are building a new business, The Prepared Bystanders. This is our new direction post-COVID.
It is aimed at Activating Community & Saving Lives. It is all about how to safely help people + pets involved in a road crash. We are an Australia-wide membership-based online platform, where people gather, learn and support each other. |
|
We provide a journalistic-style, web-series of education films about post-crash response. This includes:
1. How to safely approach a road crash;
2. The priorities in assessing the scene and the information required before activating emergency services;
3. The life-saving techniques of maintaining a clear airway, enabling breathing and controlling major bleeds;
4. Plus, the skills in reassurance required to emotionally and psychologically support people impacted by
road trauma;

We support the people willing to step up and help at a road crash (active bystanders) with an online community, monthly live Q&A sessions with a panel of experts and the resources they need following involvement in being a lay-person first responder, a Prepared Bystander!
You can join our monthly newsletter to hear our progress and how you can be involved in its design and implementation. Go to https://www.thepreparedbystanders.au and register for the mailing list at the bottom of the page.

Jaguar Productions (HWL Cull & Daughter) is the business I created in respect to my father. It was his dream given to me. He was a Motion Picture/Director Cameraman making films before television was worldwide. He migrated to Australia with a hope to continue that career, but life had other plans.

The films I love to make are the life stories of our Elders, or your grandparents! Maybe your parents, depending how old you are. I have seen the joy in faces of people in their 80s and 90s as they remembered the good times in their life. We make these films for the legacy of family, the grandchildren too young to ask questions and the unborn future generations. If you are someone who has pages and pages on ancestry.com or a similar platform, then this is what you want next. Keep a living record (film) of family elders now, so future generations don't have to work so hard to find out who married who and when, not to mention any stories about skeletons in the closet!
Call me or email me. Just do it before you need to write the eulogy of the Elders in your life! Click the contact page above or for more information check out the website https://www.jaguarproductions.com.au
