WHAT IS NATUROPATHY?

Naturopathy is a holistic approach to wellness based on the principle that the body has the inherent ability to heal itself. This can be achieved using the healing power of nature and gentle therapeutic techniques. Before healing can occur, the initial cause of the disease must be identified and removed.


Treating the whole individual – mind, body, emotions - not just the affected area, and taking responsibility for one’s own health, all bring about harmony.


Naturopathy can be applied to almost any health condition, not only to treat existing conditions but as a preventative measure to maintain health and wellbeing.

A variety of treatment methods are used by Karen including:

* Herbal Medicine to help prevent and treat various illnesses - a liquid herbal tincture is a fast way to absorb herbs and their evidence-based success

* Dietary and Nutritional advice for restoration of balance, detoxification and prevention of disease

* Lifestyle advice to promote well-being and to reduce stress

* Flower Essences to enhance the emotional aspect of healing - a very gentle yet extremely effective treatment. Can also be used on stressed pets & babies.

* Iridology to see underlying strengths and weaknesses in the individual

* Reiki to help clear blockages, wonderfully balancing and assists with relaxation, acupressure points can be combined with treatment


What is Reiki?

Rei= Universal Higher Power & Higher Wisdom
Ki= Vital Life Force Energy

Reiki is a Japanese system of healing based on energy chakra centres of the body. The client lays on a massage table fully clothed, and draped with fabric. Combining crystal therapy, relaxing chakra balancing music, aromatherapy and optional Australian Bush Flower Essences, I will then gently place my hands non-intrusively on or above these energy centres, and together with reiki symbols, enable the client to regain their energy flow and restore balance, feel calm and 'whole' again, and heal any blockages that you may be feeling. When this life force energy is in perfect balance in the body we experience total harmony emotionally, psychologically, physically and spiritually.

Reiki is a gentle, safe, relaxing and nurturing treatment and can be used effectively with other forms of traditional medical treatment, or combined with Australian Bush Flower Essences, Herbal Medicine, Vitamin/Minerals, Diet/Lifestyle changes. Reiki can replenish your own vital energy, strengthen your immune system and bring you back into a state of balance. At the same time it helps in healing many ailments such as headache/migraine, pain, stress, fatigue, anxiety/depression and other chronic and acute disorders.

DID YOU KNOW?

That tannins in red wine & tea (black, green, oolong) and coffee reduce iron in the body by up to 60%? Not good if you are always tired, low in iron and are constantly reaching for another cup. If you take an iron supplement or generally have trouble absorbing iron, try to have your supplement at least two hours away from your coffee/tea and reduce the amounts of cups per day and note the difference to your energy levels!
