What we do
Our practitioners use a variety of healing modalities and work in a holistic manner to help your journey to better health. Working with your body’s natural ability to maintain good health, address present ailments and prevent disease and illness from occurring, a personalised treatment plan is developed specifically for each individual.
Treatment plans may include the following;
HOMEOPATHY
​
Homeopathy uses remedies to stimulate your own healing.
Homeopathy is a complete system of medicine encompassing soul, mind, emotions, and body. Remedies are selected on the principle of “like cures like”.
It is an energy-based system of healing suitable to be used in all situations of ill health or injury.
Effects can be immediate and long lasting.
ESSENTIAL OILS / AROMATHERAPY
​
This is the use of essential oils to improve well-being by external application or inhalation.
​​
“Aromatherapy is a caring, hands-on therapy which seeks to induce relaxation, to increase energy, to reduce the effects of stress and to restore lost balance to mind, body and soul.” - Robert Tisserand
BACH FLOWER REMEDIES
​
Bach Flower Remedies help manage emotional demands and life stresses. Flower essences are remedies which are gentle in action.
They help stimulate positive attitudes and effects for self-healing. Rescue Remedy is a mixture of five flower essences. We mix a blend that meets your own constitution and needs.
EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE
​
EFT involves tapping acupressure points to aid energy flow and words to address anxiety, stress, phobias, pain, and habitual behaviours.
EFT sessions provide you with skills to work on problems yourself and to gain insight into your own patterns of thinking and reacting to situations.
HOLISTIC NUTRITION
​
A holistic approach to nutrition focuses on individualising nutritional interventions to promote optimal wellness based on lifespan, physical & mental/emotional conditions, and sustainability within family systems.
Macro and micronutrient density, bioavailability and food quality are important for our wellbeing on every level.
HERBS
​
Herbs are used as part of holistic treatment that considers lifestyle, diet, individual weaknesses and needs to tailor specific remedies for your care.
We predominantly use compounded herbs in supplement form to support your health.
BIO-ELECTRONICS
​
Bio-electronics is a discipline involved in promoting healing and easing pain. The treatment approaches extend into the field of neuro-science.
Using photobiomodulation (covering the use of both red, near-infra-red, LEDs and laser), it assists chronic pain, migraine, depression, anxiety, PTSD and traumatic brain injury.
We also work with vagus nerve stimulation.
This treatment/therapy helps migraine, seizures, depression and inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and chrons disease.
