It’s time to prepare your health for Winter!
iNourish - Integrative Family Health Care
Did you know that you need to start preparing your immune system for the coming Winter by the last month of Summer?
The cold and flu season hits without warning. One day you, your family and your co-workers are all fit and healthy.....and the very next day you find yourself at work, surrounded by sniffling, sneezing and coughing. Of course, your first line of defence is to limit your exposure but you can’t control your workmate’s behaviour or your kids sneezing in your face!
So if you are prone to Winter illness or even the “Winter Blues”, get started on boosting your immunity and your happy hormones now using whole food supplements, nourishing foods and preventative measures.
Why start in Summer? Firstly, because it takes a little time to ensure that your immune system is well nourished for the Winter. But most of all......it’s time to start stocking up on Sunshine! Just 15 minutes per day (in the middle of the day), will stand your Vitamin D levels in good stead for the coming Winter, reducing your risk of the Winter Blues and boosting your immunity.
Book in a Winter Prep appointment with iNourish before February 29, 2012 and receive 20% off your consultation fee....just mention this article for your discount.
What’s On Offer at iNourish
Integrated Iridology
Have you ever wished that you could have a handbook for your health??
You can! And I can help you with that.
Renowned Iridologist, Toni Miller, states that Iridology is the study of your health via an examination of the colour and pattern of fibres within your iris (coloured section of the eye), and other surrounding eye structures such as the sclera (white of the eye) and the pupil.
The iris is a complex structure which has reflex connections to every organ and tissue within your body by way of the nervous system. Through the optic nerves, visual information is sent to your brain and, at the same time, information is sent back to your eyes from the brain about the state of your organs and tissues.
Iridology is not a treatment therapy but rather a differential diagnostic tool used to determine health problems at their earliest stages in order to prevent illness and maintain your optimum wellness. It is used by medical doctors in Germany, Russia and other countries as a reliable form of differential diagnosis. This is largely due to its reliability in the detection of function and disease. Iridology does not name disease, it reveals your genetic inheritance from three generations before you, potential nutritional and chemical imbalances, tissue strength and weakness, specific predispositions, sub-clinical manifestations, metabolic disturbances, psychological factors, resistance to illness, and primary nurture points.
At iNourish, Iridology is just one of the tools I will use during a Naturopathic consultation to assist in designing a unique treatment plan especially for you. For an additional cost you, may request to have a Comprehensive Personalised Iridology Report generated as your personal health handbook. The reports contain detailed information about your health and the influence of your family background, some aspects of your personality, and recommendations for nutrition and supplementation.
Naturopathy
"Every human being is the author of his own health or disease." - Buddha
Naturopathic Medicine, or Naturopathy, is a practice of preventing, assessing and treating conditions of the human mind and body by integrating conventional medicine with a range of natural therapies and traditional medicines for a lasting effect. Naturopathy treats your mental, emotional and physical states for a lasting effect.
As a Naturopath, I am highly trained to employ safe and effective natural therapies that will support and stimulate your innate health in the gentlest, least invasive and most efficient manner possible. I use a range of methods to assist me in assessing your unique health requirements including taking a comprehensive Family and Personal Health history, Functional Pathology and Iridology. Your path to a happy and healthy life will be supported by Nutrition, Herbal Medicine and Allergy Therapies, where needed.
Your First Consultation (Initial) with me will take 1 hour in which, together, we will create a strategy to bring back your zing and zest for life. Your Wellness strategy will be created using the latest research and the most proven and efficacious traditional remedies combined with Traditional Food Wisdom.
Nutrition – Using Traditional Food Wisdom
Don’t just feed yourself!! I can teach you how to truly NOURISH yourself and your family!
"Food is the key player for nourishing the body's EVERY cell. Food can either FEED those cells or POISON
them. You have a choice!" – Weston A Price Foundation
As a member of the Weston A Price Foundation, I am dedicated to restoring nutrient-dense foods to your diet and helping you to navigate the mine-field of food marketing. I will provide you with the “know-how” and simple delicious recipes for nourishing and satisfying foods that DON’T leave you feeling hungry or searching for your next ‘hit’ of refined carbohydrates.
Watch your ENERGY skyrocket and your BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS and CARDIOVASCULAR RISK plummet!
“Life in all its splendour is Mother Nature obeyed” – Weston A Price.
Herbal Medicine
Instead of reaching for the antihistamines to quell your Hayfever and Sinus this Spring let me help you reduce your allergy triggers with the help of traditional and evidence-based Herbal Medicine.
Herbal medicine is still the first choice for health care in many cultures, being successfully used for thousands of years. Every culture has its own style of herbal medicine.
Herbs contain a large number of naturally occurring phytochemicals and many of these are used in our modern pharmaceutical drugs but, used in their more natural, whole form they create a profound transformation in health without the danger of side effects common in drug based medication.
Special Interest
I have a special interest in treating Children with Disabilities.
As I have a daughter with Cerebral Palsy I understand many of the difficulties that your child faces and the difficulty that you, as their parent and carer, face. There are many ways that you can help your child to reach their highest potential and good nutrition and some well chosen herbs will be just the thing to improve your child’s brain activity, digestion, comfort and sleep patterns.
Consultations are available at an accessible and disability friendly location and are at a special discounted rate for families with disability.
Initial Consultation (Disability) $100
Follow up Consultation (Disablity) $55
A Little About Me...
I started my Naturopathic journey as a patient at the tender age of 16. I had experienced lifelong Asthma and Eczema, Sinus and Hayfever and throughout my teenage years and 20’s had terrible acne. As a child I was in and out of hospitals and medical clinics for my asthma symptoms, eczema, upper respiratory tract infections, tonsillitis....and the list goes on.....and on.....and on. And I was ‘that’ child at school who constantly had a pocket full of tissues! I was frequently prescribed heavy duty drugs such as Corticosteroids and antibiotics and at one time was on antibiotics for a period of around 2 years in an attempt to ‘cure’ my acne. By the time I reached 20 years of age I was convinced that all of my problems were due to allergies but medical allergy testing revealed nothing noteworthy.
After studying a Bachelor of Applied Science (Biology) at University and stepping out into the world of work, I suddenly realised that I was in the wrong profession. My early mornings, lunch hours and after work hours found me exploring the world of Nutrition and Herbal Medicine in an effort to improve my health. I felt like I was living a double of life. Working in Scientific research and laboratories and subscribing to one way of thinking during the day but literally eating, sleeping and breathing Natural Medicine in my down time. I quit my job and went back to college. And I LOVED it!
Since graduating I have worked in a Natural Allergy Clinic for 7 years, I have run my own Naturopathic clinic from home, as well as a clinic within an Osteopathic clinic, I have worked as a Naturopath in Health Food Stores and now that I have moved interstate, I run iNourish inside Power Living Canberra in Belconnen and I am one of four Naturopaths at The Allergy Centre in Macquarie. I can tell you that I am now completely free of Sinus, Hayfever and Acne, my Asthma symptoms are negligible (unless I stray from the path) and Eczema, although a constant work in progress, is much improved and rarely causes me problems.
I am a Naturopath because I LOVE it. I love educating people about nutrition and natural therapies. I love helping people to achieve their wellness goals. I spend hundreds of hours each year keeping up with the latest research through Professional seminars and workshops and through my own research efforts at home. I eat, sleep and breathe Natural Therapies and I can’t wait to help you feel excited and energised about life again too.

Testimonials
Lisa from Canberra writes.....
“After 15 years of working shiftwork as a nurse, my body was exhausted. Then Melissa started working in a room at the yoga studio where I practice. At our first appointment, I diligently recited my health history, then had iridology photos taken of my eyes. I was blown away when, after looking at my eyes, Melissa asked me questions like “Have you ever had glandular fever?” Yes! But so long ago that it had slipped from my mind.
Melissa showed me how my numerous allergies and food sensitivities were effecting my digestion, my body could not absorb the nutrients in the food I was eating.
I started a 10 week diet, which along with supportive herbs, allowed my body to rest and start the long road back to good health and nutrition. She is slowly working on my food sensitivities to allow my body to recognise that these substances will not hurt me.
Melissa embraces holistic care; she supports both the emotional and physical journey it takes to reach good health and nutrition. She is available for support whenever a question arises, and also provides yummy recipes!
Melissa is passionate about natural therapies, good nutrition and the use of natural products to clean our houses to aid overall good health. She has had a huge and positive influence on my health and the way I live my life now. The journey continues, and I am so grateful to have her by my side.”
Justine from Canberra writes.....
"Seeing Melissa for Iridology was the most significant thing I have done health wise in my life...I feel I am finally finding out the truth about my body - and that I have the tools and support I need to live from a new sense of wellbeing. Within weeks of following her advice and making some changes around nutrition, my energy, mental clarity and zest for life was restored.
I have continued to see Melissa as needed when general, and more specific guidance has been required - only to be more and more amazed and humbled by the results. Good health and wellbeing has transferred directly into the quality of life I now lead. I am a better mum, partner, daughter and yoga teacher now that my body's nutritional and health needs are being looked after. I recommend her totally - if it's the only thing you do for yourself this year - it will change your life."
Dear Allergy Centre
I write to thank you for the significant contribution you and your staff have made to improving my health and well being. In particular I would like to thank Melissa Luxmoore for her professionalism, knowledge and empathy.
I have endured a number of chronic conditions for many years, including life-long asthma, and have received little benefit from ‘traditional medicine’. Despite taking the highest possible dose of a number of asthma drugs my asthma was not under control and it was grossly affecting my daily living. Specialist doctors told me that there was nothing more they could do for me and I needed to just accept that.
It was out of a sense of desperation that I visited The Allergy Centre and saw Melissa, something I now realise I should have done many years ago. Under Melissa’s care and advice the improvement in my health was immediate and dramatic. I now take only one small daily dose of asthma medication, compared to previously taking multiple doses of multiple drugs for decades. I look forward to continuing to dealing with Melissa and The Allergy Centre so as to continue to make other long term improvements in my overall health and well being.
Melissa and The Allergy Centre clearly have a deep understanding and knowledge of their profession and the products that they use and recommend and they have always been pleasant, polite and professional to deal with. Because of them I can once again begin to enjoy my life. I have no hesitation in recommending the services of Melissa and The Allergy Centre to others and will continue to actively do so.
Thank you to you all for all that you have done for me.
Kind Regards
David
