What is Naturopathy

Naturopathy is both a science and a philosophy of healing with a tradition dating back many centuries. In Naturopathic medicine rather than treating the symptoms alone, the Practitioner endeavours to find the underlying cause of the disfunction. The Practitioner will then use a variety of treatments suited the clients individual needs such as Nutrition, Herbal Medicine, Life Style counselling, Flower Remedies and / or Massage Therapy.

What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is about ‘rewiring’ the mind. Many of us are held back in our lives by negative belief systems, experiences and mind programming that can block our success, health and happiness. Also barriers to change, which we may not be conscious of, can be uncovered in hypnosis and then dealt with.

During Hypnosis the body and the conscious mind are in a relaxed neutral state while the subconscious mind remains awake, alert and more receptive to therapeutic suggestions. People under Hypnosis are in a state of deep relaxation, they are conscious and able to hear the Hypnotherapist's voice. At all times they are in control of themselves and they will not do or say anything that they would not choose of their own accord.

A typical Hypnotherapy session.

Importantly, a Hypnotherapy session bears no relation to what happens in stage Hypnosis Shows. Stage Hypnosis is for entertainment purposes whereas clinical Hypnotherapy is about using the power of Hypnosis for therapeutic reasons to help people make positive life changes.

Generally, a Hypnosis session will last from 1 hour to 90 mins. It takes place in a comfortable a relaxing atmosphere. The client relaxes back in a reclining chair, with soothing background music and simply listens to the guiding voice of the practioner.

People who have experienced Hypnosis observed that they remain in control, are pleasantly aware of all that happens, yet feel wonderfully relaxed. It has been described as a "feel good" experience, that works.


Can anyone be Hypnotised?

Everyone can be Hypnotised - some more easily than others. All that is needed is the desire and agreement to cooperate with the Hypnotherapist. You will work with your Hypnotherapist at all times towards producing the changes that you desire.

Hypnotherapy can help people deal with a whole range of life limiting issues, including habit control (eg smoking, nail biting, stuttering), weight loss, managing stress, overcoming depression, putting a stop to negative thinking and excessive worry, addressing insomnia, building self esteem, getting motivated, building confidence, curing fears or phobias, reducing anxiety and panic, overcoming learning difficulties, healing relationship problems, dealing with emotional issues and so on...

A major benefit of Hypnosis

Is that improvement happens in a very short period of time. Instead of having to go through years of psychotherapy or counselling, generally only a few sessions of Hypnotherapy are required to achieve lasting results. Change is usually very apparent right from the first session.

Iridology

Iridology, the study of the iris, involves examination of the fibre density, colour changes and special signs in the eye. The iris structure is such that all tissues and symptoms of the body are reflected in a "map" like format. Thus iridology can be used as a tool for pinpointing and confirming areas of strength and weakness in the body.

Nutrition

A consultation with Susan involves a thorough investigation of diet and eating habits. Many dis-eases are directly related to nutritional deficiences and excesses. Therefore correct nutrition is of primary importance in treating illness and maintaining good health.


Herbal Medicine

Herbal Medicine is the use of specific plants as medicines. Traditionally based on knowledge gained over many hundreds of years. The therapeutic use of plants is now increasingly based on a scientific understanding of plants actions in the body.
