AYURVEDA

Ayurveda is widely recognised as the oldest system of health care in the world. The basic principles of Ayurveda have not changed over thousands of years and are based on laws of nature that are eternally true and as humans are part of nature are governed by these laws.

Ayurveda is a complete system which is holistic and understands that there are many aspects of our life that contribute towards our sense of health and wellbeing.

How can Ayurveda help you?

Ayurveda provides you with an understanding of your unique constitution in a way that will empower you to manage your own health and wellbeing.

You will learn how to recognize and rectify imbalances before they become issues.

By understanding your individual constitution and the most effective diet and lifestyle choices you will be able to feel healthier and happier.

Your Experience

Rainbow Atma wants every client's visit to be a nourishing and nurturing experience. An appointment is allocated to ensure clients never feel rushed. Appointments allow for time at the beginning to touch base before starting and a relaxing cup of herbal tea can be enjoyed afterwards, before venturing back into the world.

Ayurvedic Treatments offered:

Consultation - You will have a detailed analysis of your constitution and will know your natural constitution (Prakruti) and what imbalances you have (Vikruti). I will work with you and plan alternate choices that will start you on the path to a healthier and happier you. Normally this will take about 1½ hours.

Follow up visit - It is a great idea to have a follow up visit 2-4 weeks after your initial consultation. During this session we review your progress, discuss any challenges and find solutions. This is an opportunity for you to discuss what is working well for you and what you might be finding difficult. This session should take about 1hour.

Ayurvedic Marma Point Massage - Using warm medicated oils, Marmas (vital energy centres) are worked to release any blockages. This massage also realigns the energy flow in the body. Marma points are the storehouse of energy and when imbalances occur these points get affected. Usually this massage will take approx 1 hour depending on the constitution of the individual.

Kati Basti - This treatment is wonderful for joint and muscle problems. Again using warm medicated oils, the area of stagnation or inflammation will be treated and you will feel the healing process starting straight away. It can be applied to any area of the back, neck or shoulder and can also be beneficial in the relief of menstrual pain and irregularities. This treatment usually takes between 40 - 60 mins. For difficult conditions such as a frozen shoulder, you would need a course of this treatment.

Shirodhara- - A heavenly treatment using warm oil that runs in a constant stream over the forehead to bring a deep sense of calm by relaxing and nourishing the nervous system. Used for many imbalances including anxiety, depression, headaches, insomnia and stress relief. This treatment usually takes approx 1 hour. To gain the most benefit from this treatment it is better to have it on a day that you can rest afterward. You will also need to bring with you something like a towel to cover your head to go home.

Length of treatments vary depending on the individual conditions and imbalances.

ONCOLOGY MASSAGE

Oncology Massage is the adaptation of massage to an individual with cancer or a history of cancer. Its systemic touch is very gentle yet progound.

Oncology Massage works with the fascia just beneath the skin. The fascia is a web of connective tissue that connects us from head to toe. Immune system cells move through the fascia as the body requires them.

Adjustments are made in consideration of:
* Lymph node removal;
* Chemotherapy;
* Radiotherapy; and
* Mastectomy.

Why is Oncology Massage Safe?

Oncogenesis is the formation of a tumour and occurs when external factors such as viruses or hereditary factory change the normal function of cellular DNA. These malfunctioning cells are weak, usntable and erratic by nature and if the immune system is awake, they will be destroyed.

These cells keep moving through the body looking for somewhere to connect and grow. They are spread biologically not mechanically which is why Oncology Massage is a safe treatment for cancer patients. It is possible with Oncology massage to help heal women's mastectomy scarring. After just a few weeks, noticeable improvements may be seen.

One of the benefits of Oncology Massage is the opportunity to relax deeply and have positive gentle touch and a break from the necessary hospital treatments.

This massage may help with:
* Anxiety
* Depression
* Pain
* Nausea
* Fatigue
* Insomnia; and
* Immune function

Depending on the type of cancer and where you are up to in your treatment, the session time will vary from individual to individual. This will be discussed during the initial visit.

Gentle Scar Tissue Mobilisation Techniques

These techniques help relieve tightness in scars for post mastectomy and radiation treatment clients. It reduces scar tissue build up and increases circulation for healing of skin, fascia and muscles.

These techniques can also help reduce pain. Every treatment is guided by you being comfortable with the area being touched. I understand how emotional it can be when your scars are cared for.

Oncology Massage will be beneficial in any life limiting illness. If you would like to take the opportunity to rest your mind and body, please give me a call on 0402 811 742 or email me at conyard@ozemail.com.au.
