Alison Gallagher
Welcome
Alison has worked as a practising Naturopath for 14 years. She is committed to helping her clients achieve a vibrant state of wellbeing and enjoyment of life using Naturopathic wisdom and the amazing techniques of Bowen therapy.
Naturopathy is a complementary medicine which emphasizes the bodyʼs intrinsic ability to heal and maintain itself. It seeks to find the underlying cause of acute and chronic conditions as opposed to just treating and suppressing the symptoms of ill health. A Naturopathic consultation involves discussion of the clientʼs lifestyle, diet and medical history to get a complete picture of the individual.
An individualʼs presenting symptoms will determine what treatments are given. Treatment plans can involve the prescription of herbal medicine, vitamin and mineral supplementation, flower essences and changes in diet. Treatment programs are selected to support and strengthen the bodyʼs systems, increase vitality and restore general health and wellbeing on all levels, physically, mentally and emotionally.
Herbal medicine is the oldest and most widely used system of medicine in the world today and is increasingly being validated by scientific investigation. Herbal remedies have an important role in health care as they can be taken for general wellbeing, the prevention of disease and to treat ill health. Medicinal plant remedies have amazing balancing effects on the bodyʼs physiology without the common side effects that occur with pharmaceutical drugs.
Nutrition and diet is essential in maintaining a healthy body. At a naturopathic consultation an individualʼs diet is reviewed and if necessary dietary advise is given and nutritional supplements are prescribed to help treat a health issue or to maintain optimal health and a state of vitality.
Bach flower and Bush flower essences are incorporated in the naturopathic consultation to address stress and any emotional imbalances. The Bach Flower Remedies are 100% safe and natural and work in conjunction with herbs, homeopathy and medications. They are safe for everyone, including children, pregnant women and the elderly.
In addition to this holistic approach to healing, Bowen therapy is incorporated into the treatment plan. Bowen is a gentle, non invasive and very relaxing soft tissue technique which helps the body reach a state of balance and harmony. In this state the body is able to repair itself. It addresses internal systems as well as the musculoskeletal system and the emotions. It is very effective in relieving any pain or discomfort from sports injuries or accidents as well as helping with any chronic ailments.
