About Us
Serving the community
for over 25 years
Thirroul Natural Healing Centre was open in 1995 when Naturopath and Health care practitioner Ree Van Galen established her dream to offer Natural Health Care to Thirroul and the Northern Illawarra.
With Ree moving to Tasmania, Kellie continued her work and took over the running of the centre. We were initially located in a lovely old house in McCauley Street before we moved in to a larger beautiful old house in 2007.
Today we are proud to say that we are still going strong and continue to offer a range of therapies and a great team of experienced Health Care Professionals.
We now have three Naturopaths and a Nutritionist, three Massage Therapists, two Osteopaths, Kinesiology, Ortho-bionomy, Acupunture and Psychotherapy.
What services do we offer?
