Nutritional Medicine
Nutritional Medicine is not just about treating ill health but to gain and maintain optimum health and involves understanding the origins, prevention and treatment of complex chronic diseases, promoting health as a positive vitality and not just the absence of disease. It is very much an individual based approach as the manifestations of sub-optimum health and ill health often have differing origins.
Nutritional Medicine focuses on you as a whole person, not just your current health status or set of presenting symptoms. Jacinta will listen to your history and analyze the interactions between your genetic tendencies, environmental factors, dietary habits and lifestyle factors, all which influence both your long-term health status and chronic diseases states. Most imbalances in body functions can be addressed: some can be restored to optimum function and others can be substantially improved for better quality of life.
The treatments may combine changes to dietary habits with supplementation with nutrients which restore deficiencies or insufficiencies and target specific functional needs in order to improve your health as well as changing and reducing the disease outcome

What should I do after I make an appointment for Nutritional Medicine?
When you have made your appointment, it is suggested that you:
• Collect together any blood tests or medical test results that you have undertaken in the last six months, and bring them to your appointment.
• Keep a food diary for about a week before you come to your appointment. In that diary you should keep a list of what you are eating and any symptoms that you may experience throughout the day e.g. dizziness, fatigue etc.
• Bring details of any medicines you may have been prescribed as well as any herbs or vitamin supplements that you may be taking.
• Bring the contact details of any Drs or Specialists that you may be seeing, as this allows us to interact with them where needed to optimize your health outcome
Reiki -
Reiki treatment follows a traditional pattern of hand positions, resting without pressure on or above the body. Reiki is pure energy, and brings about deep relaxation and healing.
Reiki Healing & Body Relaxation
Reiki, meaning "universal life force energy", aims to improve health and enhance the quality of life. It treats your whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit and creates many beneficial effects including relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use.
Reiki will improve the results of all medical treatment, acting to reduce negative side effects, shorten healing time, reduce or eliminate pain, reduce stress, and help create optimism.
During a Reiki treatment, you will lie fully clothed on a padded table in a warm, comfortable room. A thorough session lasts between 60 to 90 minutes. For stress reduction one to two sessions are satisfactory, however for chronic conditions long-term treatment may be recommended. Due to its gentle nature, many people fall asleep during this soothing experience of healing.
Kinesiology - Ray Ward
As a system of natural health care originating in the 1960s, Kinesiology (the science of movement) combines muscle testing and monitoring, with the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine to assess energy and body function, applying a range of gentle yet powerful healing techniques to improve health, wellbeing and vitality.
• Styles of Kinesiology
There are many different styles of Kinesiology, which generally fall into three groups:
1) Applied Kinesiology, used by Chiropractors, Osteopaths, Medical Doctors and Dentists.
2 ) Traditional Kinesiology which is mainly biomechanics and exercise physiology.
3 ) Specialised Kinesiology, which incorporates several modalities, including Touch For Health, Neural Organisation Technique, Applied Neurogenics, Hyperton-X, One Brain, Manual, Applied Physiology, etc.
• What does a Kinesiologist do?
All Specialised Kinesiologists and Applied Kinesiologists use Manual Muscle Testing as a tool in their work, which tests the function of the muscles, which in turn reflect the body's overall state of structural balance. They also recognise that there are flows of energy within the body that relate not only to the muscles, but to every tissue and organ that make the body a living being. The client is observed as a whole organism, rather than a collection of symptoms.
Ultimately, Kinesiology relies upon the muscle feedback system that measures how the nervous system controls its muscle functions and the channels of the brain and body. In this way, it helps the body into a better position to heal itself or reach a specified goal by 'balancing" its energies. It is thought that all stress, imbalances and blockages in the nervous system can be detected by testing the tension in certain muscles.
• Benefits of Kinesiology for you
Kinesiology does not treat named diseases, nor does it diagnose them. It is however used for the relief of pain, stress and confusion, depressive tendencies, digestive disorders, fatigue and tiredness, back pain, learning disabilities, allergies, nervous disorders, sports injuries, personal development and general wellbeing. Patients remain fully clothed during a treatment. It is beneficial to have a series of treatments.
Muscle testing is totally painless in a Kinesiology session. Sessions usually last 30 minutes.
Sports Massage - Ray Ward
Sports massage is a type of massage that is specifically tailored to sporting injuries or ailments. It is not meant to be a relaxing massage and, indeed, can become quite vigorous at times. Contrary to its name, sports massage is not only utilised by professional sportspeople or people that exercise heavily. It is of benefit to anyone that exercises, even if it is only mild exercise such as regular walking.
The Purpose of Sports Massage
Sports massage is designed to prevent and relieve injuries and conditions that are associated with exercise. It can often be quite strenuous and is meant to relieve and reduce the stress and tension that can build up within your body’s soft tissues while exercising. It can be carried out before, during, or after playing sport or exercising and uses techniques that are designed to increase endurance and performance, to minimise the chances of injury and, if there is an injury, to reduce the recovery time.
What Sports Massage Can Do For You
Sports massage can treat a variety of ailments and injuries that may occur as a result of exercise. It also has other benefits that allow you to train or exercise more efficiently. Some benefits that sports massage has include:
• draining away fatigue
• relieving swelling
• reducing muscle tension
• promoting flexibility
• injuries that occur as a result of overexertion or overuse
• relieving pain
• preventing injuries
• improving heart rate and blood pressure
• increasing blood circulation and lymph flow
• treating injuries such as shin splints
Iridology
Iridology, through the study of the iris reveals changing conditions of every part of the organ of the body. The various signs and discolouration reveals inherited weaknesses and strengths. Iridology does not detect a specific disease, however, it can indicate if there is over or under activity in specific areas of your body.
Iridology is not a treatment therapy but rather a diagnostic tool used to detect underlying signs of developing disease. The goal of Iridology is therefore to recognise health problems in their earliest stages or inherited weaknesses and to suggest ways to keep disease from developing.
Flower Essences
Flower remedies come from ancient tradition used throughout the world by the Aboriginals, the Egyptians, in India, Asia, South America and Europe. .
This healing method was popularized by Dr Edward Bach, a renowned British practitioner of Bacteriology and Homoeopathy. Dr Bach believed that disease originated with the mood and temperament of the patient and seven categories of negative states of mind, and he then developed a range of 38 flower essences.
Ian White, fifth generation Herbalist developed the world renowned Australian Bush Flower Essences which explores the application of essences in areas such as communication, self-esteem, sexuality, learning, creativity, abundance and spirituality to name just a few.
Negative emotions and thoughts, and even diseases are treated by choosing a remedy to match your temperament and current state of mind. They are not used directly for physical complaints but for your worry and anxiety, as these states of mind are seen as primary causes of illness. The essences work on a vibrational level, allowing the life force to flow more freely as harmony is restored to the body.
Up to five remedies may be chosen by the practitioner, with your assistance and these are combined to make an individual preparation.

Fusion back to the Innermost Self through the Akashic Records.
- 1 Hour sessions
The Akashic records is the soul level dimension of consciousness. It is a variational level
archive of every individual soul and their journey through time. As a child we were betrayed,
abandoned or rejected by others and then we unwittingly abandoned and rejected our
own true-self. Because of this, we then live life doing for others what our inner child
yearns to have done for us. This sacred Fusion ceremony allows you to move from Self
abandonment, Self rejection and Self sabotage to Self advocate, Self nurturer and Self
acceptor; it then allows us to accept fully from others what we cannot give to our self
