Naturopathy
Nature distributed medicine everywhere – Pliny the Elder
By integrating traditional wisdom with modern science naturopathy provides a holistic, non-invasive form of therapy that works with, rather than against, the body’s natural healing process. Naturopathy balances the body, mind and spirit and can benefit everyone and every condition, even those undergoing orthodox medical treatment as it can function well in a complimentary capacity
Naturopathy encompasses the modalities of herbal medicine, homeopathy, aromatherapy, massage and flower essences. Nutrition and lifestyle are also important considerations in the naturopathic approach to good health and diagnostic tools, such as iridology, will assure that the treatment program is as detailed and personalised as it can be.
A naturopathic approach to healing and well-being ensures that the client is an active participant in their own good health and that together the therapist and the client can work out a treatment plan that provides the best possible outcome.
Naturopathy is a safe and effective way to treat the whole family, even pets can benefit from such treatments as homeopathy and flower essences, and it ensures that good health and continued well-being are ultimate achievements.

Homeopathy
The highest ideal of cure is rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of the health, or the removal and annihilation of the disease in its whole extent, in the shortest, most reliable, and most harmless way, on easily comprehensible principles – Samuel Hahnemann
Homeopathy was developed by the German physician and chemist Samuel Hahnemann, more than 200yrs ago. It is a holistic form of healing that is designed to work with the body’s natural healing processes rather than against them thereby promoting lasting good health and well-being
The founding principal of homeopathy is that ‘like cures like’ meaning that what in large doses can make you sick in small doses can cure you. This principle is the basis for vaccinations although in that case the small dose of the substance is used as a preventative rather than a cure.
Homeopathy is a safe and effective way of treating the causes of illness. It can be used on its own, in conjunction with other natural therapies or with conventional medications without any adverse effects. During the course of treatment it is possible that one experiences a return of old symptoms, this is because homeopathy gets to the root of the problem eliminating all causes of disease rather than just having an effect on the immediate. A healing crisis may also be experienced whereby you feel an intensity of symptoms which will be followed by a greater feeling of wellness as the body begins its healing process.
Homeopathy can be used to treat any problems from acute illness to long-term chronic conditions. It is practiced the world over and is recognised as a legitimate form of health care by the World Health Organisation.
A homeopathic consultation may come as a surprise to some, particularly if you are not used to the holistic approach. The initial consultation can take up to an hour and a half, unless the complaint is an acute one. The reason for this is that a detailed case study is required to ensure that the right remedy is given. The consultation will take into consideration all aspects of the problem, the physical, the emotional, the mental and any prevailing environmental factors that may be causing concern.
Homeopathy is particularly beneficial for children and can be used to treat the family pet with wonderful results.
Aromatherapathy
People could close their eyes to greatness, to horrors, to beauty, and their ears to melodies or deceiving words. But they could not escape scent. For scent was a brother to breath - Patrick Suskind
Aromatherapy is an ancient therapeutic practice that uses aromatic oils in various applications for their healing properties. Like all other natural therapies aromatherapy is a holistic form of healing treating the individual as a whole rather than a series of symptoms.
Essential oils are recognized for their holistic properties with each oil containing a number of therapeutic constituents that will help the body to return to a state of balance and well-being on every level; physical, emotional and mental.
Essential oils can be applied in a variety of ways. At Butterfly Wellness we use pure therapeutically graded essential oils in conjunction with massage techniques to increase the healing power of both treatments. We also use them as welcome additions to creams, lotions and ointments and can combine them as blends for the client to use at home in diffusers or as perfumes and inhalants.
Ayurveda
Lead me from darkness into light
Lead me from untruth into truth
Lead me from mortality into immortality
(Vedic prayer)
Ayurveda is the traditional Indian medical system of healing; the word ayurveda is Sanskrit and translates as the science of life. Ayurveda was derived from the Vedic texts more than 5,000 years ago. As with all holistic approaches to well-being ayurveda is not just a medical system, it is a lifestyle choice, a blend of diet, lifestyle practices, natural medicines, massage therapies and yogic philosophies which when combined treat illness, ensure well-being and promote longevity. When our minds and bodies are in good working order and we are living in harmony with natures’ rhythms, then, according to ayurvedic theory, we are healthy.
One of the basic philosophies of ayurveda is the 3 dosha principal which states that everyone has their own unique blend of the elemental forces and this defines their body type and susceptibility to illness. Ones individual blend of vata, pitta and kapha is referred to as prakriti and it is our prakriti which makes us unique.
Disease occurs when the body and mind are in a state of imbalance,
At Butterfly Wellness we incorporate the basic principles of ayurvedic healing along with some of the massage and other therapeutic techniques designed to restore rejuvenate and promote long-term wellness.
Butterfly Wellness offers the following treatments
Ayurvedic facial
Indian Head Massage
Indian Head, Shoulder and Back Massage
Dosha consultation
Bush Flower Essences
True healing involves the very base of the cause of the suffering. Therefore no effort directed to the body alone can do more than superficially repair damage. Treat people for their emotional unhappiness, allow them to be happy, and they will become well – Dr Edward Bach
Flower healing dates back to the pre-Christian era and indigenous Australians have been using flowers for therapeutic purposes for generations. Modern flower essences were developed by Dr Edward Bach in the 1920’s and since then there have been a number of additions to the family namely Ian Whites Australian Bush Flower Essences and the FES Quintessentials. At Butterfly Wellness we are practiced in the use of all three and will use them singly or in combination depending on the nature of the clients condition.
Like all natural forms of healing flower essence therapy is holistic in approach, that is it is the client who is treated not their symptoms or disease. The strength of flower essences lies in their ability to heal not only on a physical level but on an emotional one as well. Many cultures and holistic healing therapies believe that dis-ease stems from an imbalance in the ones emotional makeup which, if left to its own devices, will manifest as a physical problem or disease. Therefore when you heal on an emotional level you will also create profound healing in the physical body, healing which is deep and lasting.
Flower essences are a safe and effective therapy that, simple though they seem to be, can bring about profound healing and change. Everyone can use flower essences, they do not adversely interact with either prescribed or over the counter drugs, nor are they contra indicated for children. In fact children do remarkably well on flower essences and with them there is no fear of any harmful or unwanted side effects. Even animals can benefit from the wonderful healing power of flowers.
Butterfly Wellness offers flower essences either as a healing form on its’ own or in conjunction with other treatments.
Raindrop Technique
The Raindrop technique is a gentle yet powerful aromatherapy treatment that combines ancient Egyptian and Indigenous American energy principles with the use of pure essential oils, vita-flex and massage to bring balance and harmony back to the body mind and soul.
The raindrop technique is a treatment for everyone due to its wide range of therapeutic benefits. It can also act as a powerful companion therapeutic for other treatment programs such as pain relief, stress management, weight loss, detoxification and for those undergoing chiropractic treatments.
THE 8 POWERFUL BENEFITS OF THE RAINDROP TECHNIQUE- Pain reduction
- Inflammation reduction
- Improved circulation
- Its antibacterial and antiviral action helps prevent spinal misalignments such as scoliosis and kyphosis and
- can assist with realigning the spine
- Stress relief
- Improved immune function
- Detoxification
- It helps in the releasing of pent-up negative emotions
What to expect. Generally a deep sense of peace and wellbeing can be expected from this wonderful technique but for some the Raindrop technique can be a powerful, and much needed, detoxification experience. Headaches, tiredness, skin rashes, strong smelling stools or urine, mood swings and increased thirst are all signs that the body is eliminating harmful toxins in order to restore good health. To minimize the symptoms of detox drink plenty of water, balance your pH by minimizing your intake of acid foods such as red meat, coffee, sugar, dairy and alcohol replacing them with plenty of fresh vegetables, wholegrains and lean white meats and be sure to get plenty of rest.
Emotional Clearing
Dis-ease of the body starts with dis-ease of the mind. Negative emotions and experiences profoundly affect our happiness and well-being and can lead to all manner of illnesses. A natural and holistic approach to wellness ensures that one‘s emotions are balanced, healthy and clear. A healthy body starts with a healthy mind. This is particularly important when you consider that, whether we are aware of it or not, 99% of our decision making is based on feeling rather that reason.
Negative emotions have a nasty habit of sticking around they penetrate deep into our cells where they remain clouding our experience and dampening our joy. Most of what we feel is not a response to current happenings, i.e. the ‘now’ it is instead a response that has been previously imprinted into our system. Essential oils work on a cellular level, penetrating deep into our psyches to remove and release all the emotional baggage we have been dragging around with us for too long allowing us to feel refreshed and renewed with a new lease on life.
The Emotional Release technique combine the application of specific oils with their corresponding energy points on the body creating an experience that can be likened to an emotional detox, after which a great sense of wellness and self renewal can be felt.
Crystal Healing
Crystals have been used for their healing energies since the dawning of civilisation and are still used today in m any indigenous cultures.
There are several ways in which crystals can be applied for healing purposes. The first and simplest is to choose a stone that feel s right for you and to carry or wear it. Another simple way of receiving crystal energies is to meditate with one or more stones absorbing their vibrations as you are quietly in the meditative state.
At Butterfly Wellness Centre we tailor your crystal healing experience to suit your particular purpose. We offer the laying on of crystals in conjunction with a massage treatment or simply as an experience on its own. This is a simple procedure where you lie on a massage table and specific stones are placed at specific body sites depending on the nature of the condition and the type of healing that is required.
We also offer crystal essence therapy where a remedy is made from crystal essences chosen after a case study is taken and the nature of the problem is revieled.
Finally Butterfly Wellness Centre offers crystal readings which work the same way a tarot reading does and can be a wonderful way to receive guidance and explore issues that may be causing distress.
