Naturopathic
Optimise your health and wellbeing through the guidance of our naturopath Aaryan. Aaryan aims to educate and empower clients into taking charge of their own health. She believes that naturopathy is a valuable complement to conventional medicine.
Aaryan has a particular interest in the areas of weight loss, reproductive health, menstrual disturbances, menopausal related problems and digestive disturbances.
Naturopathy is effective for a wide variety of health issues. For example general wellbeing, low energy, poor digestion, poor immunity, menopausal symptoms, menstrual problems, and preconception care.
An Initial consultation involves an extensive look at past and present health history, family health history, body systems review, diet and lifestyle overview, tongue and nail diagnosis, and iridology (only if time allows).
Your treatment plan may include:
Diet and lifestyle modifications
Clinical nutrition (vitamins and minerals)

Remedial, Swedish, Trigger Point, Pregnancy, Heated Stone and Sports Massage are performed at Change For Life.
Remedial Massage is quite a deep massage which relieves tight muscles especially in the legs, lower back, upper back, neck and shoulders. Benefits of massage include relaxation, relieving pain and headaches due to tight muscles, lengthening muscles that are tight or contracted to gain better range of movement and improve general well-being.
Sports Massage can target specific sporting injuries, assisting in the recovery or can be used pre or post game.
Pregnancy Massage Change For Life has an experienced midwife and massage therapists. Massage is very safe for pregnant women and it helps relieve a lot of the aches caused by pregnancy thus helping you feel and sleep better. The secret to our wonderful massages is the fantastic massage table we have, with removable sections so that you can lie on your front and the baby is cradled in a padded sling.
Heated Stone Massage Heated Stone massage uses heated volcanic stones on key acupressure sites to relax muscles. This form of massage using the heat from the stones allows your therapist to perform deep tissue manipulation, promoting relaxation and opening up energy pathways throughout the body
Swedish Massage is much lighter and generally assists in providing relaxation where muscles are not found to be tight. This can be included in your Remedial Massage.
We have a great team of massage therapists at Change for Life: Katherine, Melissa, Aaryan and Liza
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine
An initial consultation, with Kim, involves an in-depth look at the patient’s health and wellbeing history to ascertain a Chinese medicine diagnosis. The patient then lays on a massage bed while small sterile acupuncture needles are inserted into specific points on the body. Other Chinese treatments may be used in conjunction with acupuncture. These include cupping, the use of an infra-red heat lamp, electro-acupuncture, Tui Na (Chinese massage), and the application of Chinese herbal oils and adhesive patches. Chinese herbal medicines can also be prescribed as treatment. Kim has had great success treating many clients with a variety of problems/conditions.

Chiropractor
Joe is an experienced and professional chiropractor, who is passionate about providing gentle, effective chiropractic treatment for the whole family. Over the last 7 years, he has cared for, and educated thousands of people. By teaching “lifestyle” issues, and treating the body to help the nervous system to develop and function to its optimal level, he hopes to help each individual reach their full potential in life, the true idea of health and “wellness’. He has completed a number of post graduate courses, including paediatric care and pregnancy care.
