What is Naturopathy?

Approaching health holistically

Naturopathy is a system of healing that focuses on prevention and uses non-invasive, non-toxic natural therapies to support our self-healing capacities and to reinforce our inherent tendency to move towards wellness. The approach is holistic with a focus on treating the person, rather than just targeting the symptoms of disease. It addresses the underlying causes of disease and produces lasting effects. It is a very safe and effective system of healing that may be self-sufficient or can be used as a supportive therapy to complement conventional medical treatment.

Who can Benefit?

Treating the person, not just the disease

Naturopathy can address most issues relating to your health and wellbeing. Because it adopts an holistic and integrative approach to healing, with a focus on treating the person rather than just addressing the symptoms of disease it is a healing approach that can achieve powerful results by itself, or act in support other medical treatments.

Some examples of issues facing patients Peter has recently worked with are:

• allergy
• arthritis
• anxiety and depression
• chronic fatigue syndrome
• digestive problems
• women’s health
• natural fertility management
• headaches

• hypertension
• respiratory problems
• skin complaints
• stress management
• low energy
• low libido
• weight loss

A Visit to the Naturopath

The initial consultation

At your initial consultation Peter will ask you about your diet, lifestyle, energy levels, stamina, immunity, physical health and medical history. He will assess the functioning of all your body systems, to identify the factors that are contributing to your current health issues. The consultation will last for 60-90 minutes, will include an iridology reading, and may require some further clinical examinations.

Peter will work with you to identify your key health priorities and to develop a healing program specifically tailored to your present situation and lifestyle.

Follow-up Consultations

Helping the patient to heal themselves

The required number of follow-up 30 to 45 minute consultations will vary, depending upon the nature of the issues to be addressed. Typically, I will ask you to return after either one or two weeks so that we can evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment and make adjustments if necessary. It is often the case that a patient learns to self-manage, and prevent, even quite serious issues after only two or three visits.

Healing Methods

Enhancing your body’s self-healing capabilities

Peter will select from a range of therapies designed to enhance your body’s self-healing capabilities; stimulating your powers of recuperation and resistance to disease.

Dietary Changes :

good food is good medicine and a poor diet will reduce the capacity of your body to function effectively.

Exercise Advice :

at all stages of our lives we need to maintain an appropriate level of exercise in order to enjoy good health.

Vitamin and Mineral Supplements :

even if your diet is excellent, and your digestion is functioning well, your full nutritional requirements may not be met because the soils in which our foods are grown have become seriously depleted in the last 50 years.

Herbal Medicines :

herbal medicine, made exclusively from plants, is the oldest and still the most widely used system of medicine in the world. Its benefits are increasingly being validated by modern scientific investigation. Side-effects from these, whole-herb, medicines are virtually unknown.

Health Tonic:

I use a Natural Health Tonic; an amazingly powerful nutritional beverage. It is a blend of 19 super-fruits offering multiple health benefits derived from its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory qualities. A key ingredient is the Acai Berry which grows in the Amazon Rain Forest and has greater anti-oxidant capacities than any other known fruit or vegetable.

Homeopathy :

has its effect by impacting on our subtle energy fields and can greatly enhance the healing powers of the body.

Flower Essences :

these gentle essences can influence people at the subtle levels from which illnesses arise. They affect our emotional selves and can act as powerful catalysts for positive inner transformation; for seeing things in new ways.

Therapeutic Massage :

Peter offers Swedish (relaxation) and therapeutic massage, including deep-tissue. You can pamper yourself, manage stress, reduce pain, enhance wellbeing and ease muscular problems. Massage also enhances the effectiveness of natural health care by improving blood and nerve supply, and stimulating lymphatic drainage.

Reiki Healing :

Reiki calls upon a universal healing energy to support your management of physical and emotional issues in your life. Some describe it as a spiritually guided life force. The energy flows along the meridians used in shiatsu massage and in healing with acupuncture.

Energy Healing :

when Peter uses this approach he moves beyond the passive channelling of healing energy that works so effectively in Reiki healing. Here he work through Chakra balancing and seeks to invoke the healing essence of the soul of the patient. This reinforces the effectiveness of all the other healing modalities employed.

Iridology :

is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that helps build an understanding of the areas in which a patient’s natural healing capacities may be compromised.

Testimonials

My goal is to empower my patients to take responsibility for their own health and wellbeing. I share my knowledge, while drawing on my life experience, to help you achieve health and harmony in body, mind and soul.

- Peter Phillips-Rees

I was somewhat of a cynic regarding natural therapies before I met Peter. I went to him with a recurring deep bronchial cough that had developed every year for 4 years, following an episode of Whooping Cough in ’02. Over that time doctors had merely said I’d have to cough my way to health and this usually lasted for up to 8 weeks!

Armed with vitamins I was lacking, and a potent mix of herbs, I was astonished that the coughing ceased in just over a week. Through building my immunity, with a better diet and the ongoing vitamin plan, any coughs and colds that come my way now are thrown off quickly and don’t result in the deep debilitating cough I have always known.

Thank you Peter for showing me a better way.

I would recommend Peter Phillips-Rees for his naturopathy services as I found his services to be professional and honest. I was feeling tired and would get the flu too often. Peter reviewed my health overall including my diet, exercise and vitamin supplements. After one year has passed, I am still referring to his diet plan and taking my daily vitamin supplements and feeling much healthier than before I met Peter.

When I decided to use Peter’s services for the first time I had a severe and embarrassing rash just below my eyebrows which had been treated unsuccessfully by the GP using cortisone. He had referred me to a skin specialist, but I decided that I really wanted to move away from chemical treatment.

I met Peter at a networking event and felt very comfortable from the start. He gave me a small jar of cream that he had mixed together. I was a little impatient, so after 2 weeks when it hadn’t gone away, I spoke to Peter and he reassured me that I just needed to give it more time. He was right of course! I started to notice it improving after about 6 weeks and within 3 months it was gone altogether. It is now about a year and I am thrilled to say it has never returned – which is amazing because I had the condition for years!!

I have also used Peter’s expertise with regards to vitamin therapy and feel much more energized as a result. Last (but not least) are the relaxation massages that I have regularly. No matter what our profession – paid or unpaid – we all deserve not only to pamper ourselves, but to rest and restore and that’s what Peter is able to provide
