Why Choose Judy Harland as your Practitioner?
SPECIAL NOTE TO BABY BOOMERS!
BABY BOOMERS don't want to grow old! They are rejecting the 'Senior Citizen' image and they are reshaping the way society perceives 'old age." Many BABY BOOMERS, of which I am one, remain in full or part-time work; they want to look good, travel and to remain active and ENJOY GOOD HEALTH.
The old 'three score years and ten' is outmoded; many are now living into their 80's, 90's, 100's and beyond!
Although we are indeed LIVING LONGER, its QUALITY OF LIFE we want.
QUALITY OF LIFE takes committment and a willingness to change!
Australian's don't die of epidemics; we mostly die of lifestyle diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancers.
And, many of our foods and lifestyles are killing us. Sadly, we often reap what we sow!
Many of us are addicted to our 'bad habits' - they are those of our Australian culture, we think, "everyone else is doing it why not me" or "why should I stop now" - and we pay with our health and sometimes our lives.
Only you have the power to change your OLD HABITS.
AND IF YOU NEED SOME HELP, DIRECTION AND ENCOURAGEMENT ALONG THE WAY, to prevent or help restore existing health problems, make an appointment.
ATTENTION: COMPANY DIRECTORS OR HUMAN RESOURCES
I also practice in CORPORATE HEALTH.
This means, I can come to your office and carry out various health checks on your staff.
For example:
CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH. These include blood pressure, total cholesterol. Referrals to GP's can be made if your employees is found to be showing elevated readings.
BLOOD GLUCOSE CHECKS. Many diabetics are still undetected.
DIET AND LIFESTYLE CHECKS. These include nutritional assessments and recommendations.
IRIDOLOGY CHECKS. Staff love iridology! Ask them.
BIOIMPEDENCE CHECKS. This machine measures muscle and fat mass and gives a good insight into the general fitness of the individual.
CANCER AWARENESS. This is basically to explain to staff the dietary and lifestyle changes they could implement to reduce their risk of developing a cancer.
TALKS:
On Male Health issues
On Female Health issues
On General Health and Wellbeing Issues.
Any of the above could increase staff morale (wow the company care about me and my health), less sick days, increase productivity.
GENERAL PRACTICE INFORMATION
I have been practicising natural therapies for many years during which time I have observed positive health changes in many clients. These changes have been achieved with the appropriate use of diet and lifestyle modifications. I often prescribe nutritional supplements, herbal medicine, homeopathy and counselling.
During your first consultation which takes around 1 hour, I gather as much information as possible including your presenting signs and symptoms, past and present medically diagnosed conditions, pathology results ordered by your doctor, medications and supplements you are taking.
I request you complete a brief or extensive health appraisal questionaire.
At times it is advisable to carry out heavy metal testing, urine and urine indican testing (to test GUT toxicity levels), live blood analysis, bioimpedence, iridology and other tests that may be necessary.
I believe client education and motivation are major factors to bring about positive change and I therefore incorporate this into all consultations.
Its my belief that natural therapies and a holistic focus can improve the health of most members of our community - regardless of age or their current health status.
I work with clients on an individual basis; and I will do home visits if required.
GROUP TALKS
I TALKS to community groups including Adult Education Programs on topics ranging from Healthy Aging, How to increase Energy and Vitality, Cancer Awareness.
TALKS ON anxiety, depression and ADDICTIONS; and give nutritional support and guidance to only those who want to help themselves with diet and lifestyle changes.
I work in Palliative Care and provide comfort and soothing massage to those who are in discomfort or pain.

What conditions can a Naturopath treat?
As a naturopath, I focus on your health holistically physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually —I Look at Balance verses Imbalance. As such, Naturopathy is suitable for the treatment of most health conditions. At times, however, it is essential to work along with your doctor, or other health care professionals and therapist.
The Naturopathic Philosophy
“Health is not simply the absence of disease” Balance is the key to good health — something we may often lose track of. Imbalance on the other hand — can result in sickness and disease. As a Naturopath, my aim is to help you identify were there is imbalance and help you get back on track to good health and wellbeing.
As a naturopath, I adopt a holistic approach to your health care problems — this is unlike the orthodox approach that often focuses on disease and the relief o symptoms. For example, in the case of (acute/chronic) infection, although I may prescribe herbs and other formulas - I also look at why your body succumbs to infection.
By identifying the imbalance we are able to restore balance and health. Commitment is the key — you play your part too. To restore & maintain good health is a life long goal, with life long rewards
What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is based on the healing power of nature and the body’s ability to fight disease and heal itself. It is holistic and therefore acknowledges all aspects of your health — mind, body and spirit
Naturopathy includes the following modalities:
- Herbal Medicine/Bach Flowers
- Lifestyle
- Nutritional supplements
- Diet
- Iridology/other tests
Successful Ageing
No one really wants to age unsuccessfully do they, but unfortunately many of us do. In Australia, we develop a very broad range of ailments from arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis through to cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disease, diabetes and even cancer. At this time of life it is even more important to take extra good care of our health and maintain ‘balance’ so those extra years do not have such a huge impact on the quality or quantity of life to enjoy. By completing a detailed health questionnaire and taking a few simple tests (if required) we can get a good insight into how well you are ageing — and how we may improve on that if required.
Stress
Stress can have a major adverse impact on our health — especially when the stress goes on for an extended period of time. Chronic stress can ‘distress’ — your immune system, your cardiovascular system, digestive system, hormonal (endocrine) system, - in fact, all ‘systems’ of the body can be impacted by stress — declining health and disease can result. During consultation, we can look at stress and methods of stress management and various ways to reduce your body’s response to stress.
Wellness Program
Why wait for sickness and ill health — why tolerate low energy and vitality that can lead to disease. Good health is rot an accident; it is something that is worked on daily, weekly, yearly - in fact for an entire lifetime. We can get off track from time to time, we are only human, overall, however, our commitment to good health - practiced on a daily basis will invariably pay off, just as sure as disease will catch up to those who neglect their bodies. Enhst in a Wellness Program, even if in the past you have erred.
Women & Mens Health
Naturopathy looks at the health problems women and me face. The range is vast - from PMS through to Menopause (andropause in men) When balance is out symptoms like PMS, mood swings, fluid retention, pain/discomfort result. Hot flushes and other discomfort for those going through menopause - and beyond. Mens problems can include difficulty with urination, reduced energy and drive.
Vitality a Longevity Assessment
What does VLA give you?
- Insight into the health of your cells
- Highlights factors that increase the ageing proc
- Records muscle and fat levels in your body
- plus (if you are brave) — your biological age!
Ageing involves a deterioration of body cells and tissues. This process can be accelerated by lack of exercise, poor nutrition, stress, smoking, exposure to toxins including those in your environment and those you take in through your diet and lifestyle habits. The culmination of these factors lead to loss of vitality and chronic disease. To maintain good health, vitality and longevity - adopt a healthy diet and lifestyle. This will ultimately slow down the ageing process.
The Vitality & Longevity Assessment (VLA) can measure the impact lifestyle factors have on your body.
The test uses a small electrical current to measure some of the ‘biomarkers’ of ageing - the VLA records the following markers:
- Muscle Mass
- Fat Mass
- Intra and Extra Cellular fluid ratios
- Cellular health and vitality
These results, along with some ideas on improved nutrition and lifestyle changes will help you improve on those areas highlighted by the VLA. Remember, most results are reversible - and providing you are prepared to make the change, you will feel improved energy and vitality - and an improvement in your ‘biological age’.
Iridology
Iridology - the study of markings on the coloured part of the eye called the ‘iris’. Iridologist believe different patterns, colours and markings can give insight into existing and emerging health conditions.
The concept that the eyes are a mirror to the body has been around for centuries. Hippocrates examined eyes for signs of illness. In 1670 Phillipus Meyens stated that iridology could be used as a tool to view overall health. In 19th century Hungarian physician, lgnatz von Peckzely carried out experiments, concluding that markings on the iris corresponded with events happening in the body. Bernard Jensen expanded on this further. - Jensen’s work involved ‘mapping” segments of the iris to correspond with various organs and systems of the body.
Today - trained iridologists use this ‘map’ and view the eye using a specially adapted torch with magnification attached. Whilst the iridologist cannot diagnose disease, overall health and any potential weakness may be seen. In this way, iridology forms part of preventative health care in that it may identify health problems at an early stage and suggest ways to keep disease from developing.
