WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO SEEK TREATMENT?
The best time is before you get sick. Come and have a general health consultation. We’ll discuss your tendencies in health and illness and how you can keep on track with the food you eat and other lifestyle measures. Aromatherapy and Reflexology treatments can also be used effectively here as a way to relax and take some time out for yourself.
It’s also beneficial if you are sick or have been sick and you want to return to health and improve your energy levels. This is known as ‘convalescence’. We don’t really use this term anymore in health. It’s an understanding that after an illness or surgery our bodies need further assistance as well as time to return to full health. The aim here is bring the process of illness to completion. In other words cleaning up and out. The treatments offered are an effective way to repair, heal and provide support during these times.
Remember all treatments are individually tailored to your needs. No two people are the same, even if you have the same physical condition.
HOW LONG DO I NEED TO HAVE TREATMENT FOR?
This very much depends on why you are seeking treatment and how sick you are or how sick you have been. It also depends on what other strategies you have in place to improve your health.
HEALTH SERVICES OFFERED
* Comprehensive Health Consultations
During your 1st consultation we will cover your presenting problem or symptoms, your medical history, medication usage, lifestyle, your body’s patterns, your life’s circumstances and how you cope with them, your eating and food patterns. This will take about 1 hour and includes iridology. A Herbal Mixture, containing Herbs and Bach Flower Remedies, will then be made up and/or Mineral Therapy prescribed. These medicines are specifically for your needs. Reflexology treatments may also be prescribed and can be used in conjunction to the Herbal Medicine treatments.
Follow up appointments are then made. This is very important as we can assess your progress, assess the medicines being used and make any changes if necessary. Once again the time frame between appointments depends what your issues are, but generally follow up is once a month.

MORE ABOUT THE THERAPEUTICS
ABOUT HERBAL MEDICINE
Did you know that Herbal Medicines are a gentle and effective form of treatment that can provide you with the nutrition that your body needs to improve your overall health: improve your energy levels or change your patterns of ill health?
Herbal Medicines are full of a complex variety of nutrients; vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and plant-based chemicals that support the bodies own healing capacities. Herbs, in general, detoxify overwhelmed organs and structures, build and strengthen providing resistance to disease and also provide relief to many of our uncomfortable symptoms.
There are hundreds of medicinal Herbs available and each has particular indications for use; a variety of effects and have affinities to particular organs or structures of the body.
When considering treatment with Herbal Medicines, it is important to seek help so that the right kinds of medicines are selected for you. In prescribing Herbal Medicines, I take into consideration a variety of factors: your physical condition, how your circumstances in life and emotions could be influencing this and whether other body functions or processes could be affecting or aggravating your whole picture. The result of this is a fine tuned mixture just for you.
ABOUT BACH FLOWER REMEDIES
These very gentle and subtle flower remedies act as a catalyst to bring greater awareness and positive change to the way we feel, think and approach aspects of life.
Bach Flower Remedies are added to both Herbal Mixtures and Aromatherapy preparations to create a holistic preparation, by addressing not only the physical concerns and symptoms, but also the emotional patterns that underlying the problem.
ABOUT MINERAL THERAPY
Minerals are essential to life. The can be lost through our normal body processes such as urine, bowels & sweat. This is all very normal. But if these minerals are not replaced adequately through our diet then deficiencies can occur. These deficiencies can impact on health. The minerals are easy to take and are in low dose formulations so are suitable for everyone including children, pregnant women and our elders. They also don't interfer with other medicines that may be prescribed.
ABOUT REFLEXOLOGY
Did you know that Reflexology is a profoundly relaxing, gentle and effective form of treatment that uses primarily the feet, but also hands and ears to stimulate your body’s ability to heal itself?
The whole of the body is mapped onto feet, hands & ears. This means that the whole of your body can get a work out through the use of your feet.
The treatment uses a variety of pressure-based techniques, relaxation techniques, stretching & massage.
Reflexology treatment has many benefits:
* It’s profoundly relaxing and exhilarating, which makes it especially good for stress related conditions.
* It can improve the function of your circulation, improving the flow of blood and therefore important nutrients to all areas of the body.
* It can both calm and stimulate the nervous system, which can relieve pain
* It can assist the body with the process of elimination, making it more efficient.
* All of this in combination provides benefit to your immune system.
ABOUT AROMATHERAPY
Aromatherapy could be viewed as a branch of Herbal Medicine. It involves the use of the potent, but exquisite essential oils to assist in maintaining the health of body and mind. Aromatherapy is the only modality that utilizes the sense of smell. This provides a direct link to the most primitive part of the brain that involves our emotions and memory. They are also highly therapeutic.
Essential oils have numerous applications, such as therapeutic creams, body sprays, shampoos, conditioners and baths. The best application for use can be determined for you on consultation and of course is tailored to your needs.
I use essential oils in a cream base when doing Reflexology.
