About Patrice Connelly
Naturopath, Energetic Healer, Reiki Master and Rebirthing/Breathwork facilitator. She is also a musician and amateur genealogist.
Patrice has long had an interest in various natural therapies since her teenage years. It was teaching viola da gamba (a bowed musical instrument) that actually led to her studying full time at Nature Care College in Sydney because she wanted to know what was happening physiologically when students were learning to bow the instrument. First anatomy and physiology, massage, then nutrition, rebirthing, counselling, kinesiology, lymphatic drainage, energetic healing and many other subjects were conquered.
Modalities
Naturopathy/Nutrition
So much can be achieved with diet. Patrice has trained in naturopathy which includes nutrition as well as herbal medicine, massage, counselling and many adjunct therapies. The first appointment is about taking the case. This can take up to two hours, and is where client and practitioner get to know each other.
The case history is comprehensive. It covers your main problems, family health history, your lifestyle, your current diet, and a full review of systems, such as cardiovascular, renal, reproductive etc. It's very helpful if you can bring recent blood test results, a list or the actual medications or supplements you're taking, and a diet diary.
General Wellness
we can approach your treatment in three ways.
1. I can take a full case history, and then provide symptomatic relief for your main problem, for example giving you a supplement to reduce your PMS symptoms or your inflammation in arthritis. You take the supplements, and I may not see you again (although I would certainly hope to).
2. I can provide corrective care, helping you over weeks to change your diet and lifestyle, work on the things you want in life, doing some research on the best ways to help you correct the cause of your ill health, and getting you well again.
3. Or much better yet, I can do all of the above, plus see you on an ongoing basis (say every 3-6 months) to make sure your treatment strategy is the best you can have, help you stay with a good diet and lifestyle, help prevent any diseases of the ageing process (osteoporosis, strokes, dementia, arthritis etc) and keep you supplied with advice, supplements and research to keep you at your best.
Rebirthing/Breathwork
People often ask what breathwork or rebirthing are. They are one and the same thing: the use of full, conscious connected breath to resolve past trauma, limiting beliefs or scripts, and to help us to live intentionally.
Sessions can be done in groups or privately. At present Patrice is only practising privately. A session averages 3 hours, but can be longer or shorter.
At the beginning of the session, we spend a short time chatting to establish what issues may be troubling you. We set an intention. This could be anything at all: weight loss, a new job or relationship, dealing with anger, grief or past trauma, finding out your true purpose, just something you want to change in your life for the better.
Energetic Healing
Energetic Healing is working with the body's energy systems (meridians, chakras, subtle bodies, etc) to balance and promote health and happiness. It is fantastic to relax and de-stress, and can assist in healing on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels.
We are more than the sum of our parts. While modern science only slightly recognises some of the aspects of energetic healing, those who enjoy energetic healing treatments know the deeper benefits. At one clinic where Patrice worked, the receptionist always commented that people used to float out of the door in a bliss state after an energetic healing session.
Reiki
Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) comes from the Japanese and means Universal Life Force Energy. The "ki" is the same as Chi or Qi in Chinese medicine - energy.
Reiki is a painless, non-invasive and completely safe method of energetic healing. Think of the Reiki practitioner as a tube that connects you to energy from the universe. When you have a Reiki treatment, the most common thing you feel from the practitioner's hands is heat, but you can also feel pulsing or tingling. Most practitioners put their hands directly onto the client, but Reiki can also be done with the hands just above. Reiki is great to de-stress too.
Bach Flower Remedies
Patrice frequently prescribes Bach Flower Remedies for her clients to support and assist in changing emotional states which may be inhibiting wellness. They are both subtle and effective over a matter of weeks to help effect change and resolve emotional problems. As things change, a prescription can be changed. A combination of up to seven remedies can be used, and what's more, they don't cost a lot!
There are 38 Bach remedies, discovered by Dr Edward Bach, a visionary doctor and pioneer in natural therapies.
Pain relief with ENAR
ENAR stands for Electronic Neuro Adaptive Regulation Therapy, and it is a new type of therapeutic medical device using reflex-bio-feedback electro-neuro-stimulation technology. ENAR works with the body, through the skin, to locate and innervate problem areas. ENAR prompts the body to heal itself, to relieve pain quickly, restore function and improve health.
