Where Health Is A right, not a privilege.
Why see a naturopath?
The essence of naturopathy concentrates on you being a complete entity; body, mind and soul, not just a collection of symptoms. Mother Nature has given us all an amazing miracle in the bodies we inhabit! Naturopaths work on the principle that, given the correct nutrients, environment and thought processes, your body will not only be able to heal itself, but achieve optimum good health and a life free of chronic disease.
At Healing Hands Natural Health Centre, naturopath and owner, Alexandra Brewster, takes your health very seriously indeed and will work with you to acheive total health and wellbeing - after all, isn't that what we all deserve?
Alexandra is also a Registered Nurse and Midwife and combines conventional medical knowledge with her naturopathic philosophies
Can natural therapy help me?
It certainly can! Natural therapies can assist with any of the following:
weight loss
diabetes
cardivascular health
infertility
menopause
digestive issues
stress, anxiety and depression
preconception care
autoimmune diseases
asthma
eczema
acne
fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue.
- to name but a few!
Does this mean strict diet regimes or unpalatable preparations?
Not at all!
While I will always stress the importance of a natural diet, I understand the importance of enjoying our Western way of life. Not all of us want to live the life of a hermit after all! Optimum health can be acheived by working with your body as well as providing it with the best quality, practitioner-strength supplements to correct any vitamin or mineral deficiencies.
Herbal medicine is a large part of my natural treatment program. You will have the option of a liquid prepartion which I can make exclusively for you. Some people may find the taste of these herbs somewhat unpalatable. If this is you, I will give you a herbal combination in tablet form.
What about massage?
Massage is one of the oldest forms of therapy. The Father of medicine himself, Hippocrates, advocated "rubbing" above all as a form of healing.
At Healing Hands Natural Health Centre, you have a choice of various massage modalities depending on your needs.
Massage can be utilised:
as a form of relaxation.
to speed the healing of any musculoskeletal injury.
to ease pain and tension.
for athletes as part of their training routine.
as a form of detoxification.
As a midwife with many years of experience with infants and new mothers, I can also show you how to massage your young one. This is so beneficial for both of you, it will help de-stress your infant and cement that precious bond even further. It also teaches your child the importance of appropriate touch.
So, what happens at the first appointment?
Your initial appointment will take approx. one hour. Time permiting, I may post you out a comprehensive questionnaire (or you will have the option of confidentially completing this on the internet). This will give me a complete picture of your health and any issues which may need addressing. We will discuss any health concerns as well as any short and long term goals which you may have. We will also discuss your medical and surgical history, your work, excercise regimes and hobbies etc. I may also perform a few tests, check your nails and tongue as well as check you eyes.
In other words - I want to get to know you - the entire individual, not just the group of symptoms which have brought you to see me!
Based on the findings on your frst visit. I will utilise all modalities necessary to work out a treatment regime that will be as individual as you are.
