homoeopathy
Homoeopathy treats the person as a whole, considering both physical and emotional symptoms. A remedy is selected based on the principle of
'like cures like' and adheres to the concept of minimum dose. The remedy prescribed will target the body's innate capacity of recovery,
encouraging a state of optimal health. The remedies are pleasant and easy to take, making them ideal for children. Homoeopathy is safe
for babies, children, expectant and breast-feeding mothers. It is effective in treating a wide variety of health issues, from digestive
disturbances to emotional problems.

naturopathy
Naturopathy encompasses the use of herbal medicine, nutritional medicine, flower essences, acute homoeopathy, dietary analysis and lifestyle advice.
It focuses on all aspects of the person, treating both acute and chronic conditions. The principle of the naturopathic approach is to provide the
body with the means to heal itself. The aim is to maintain health at an optimal level in order to prevent disease. Iridology (iris analysis) is
often used in consultations as a diagnostic tool; it can indicate how efficiently the body's systems are functioning and the effect of stress.

Live Blood Screening
What is Live Blood Screening?
Live Blood Screening provides an accurate and immediate indication of the state of your general health. It helps the practitioner to help you improve your wellbeing with health strategies tailor-made for you.
What is involved?
The process uses only one or two drops of your blood and takes about half an hour. The sample will be studied under a high magnification dark field microscope. This is attached to a LCD screen where you and your practitioner can observe your blood. At the conclusion of the screening, a report will be compiled for you. The report shows you images of your blood, what it means and how this relates to your current state of health. More importantly, the report and your practitioner will provide you with information on how your health might be improved. The size, shape and ratio of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets will provide an insight as to what is going on, on the inside.
What does it tell me?
Live Blood Screening allows your practitioner to assess the following factors:
- Poor nutrition
- Immune system health
- Oxidative stress and free-radical damage
- Inflammation
- Liver health
nutrition
A balanced diet plays an integral part in maintaining good health. Nutritional medicine involves analysis of the individual's diet, and tailors
it accordingly. Based on the principle that 'food is medicine', nutritional medicine uses a combination of diet and nutrient supplements,
if required, to achieve a
therapeutic effect.

acupuncture
The life force flows through the body along specific channels (meridians) creating a continuous circuit linking internal organs and connecting
the interior with the exterior. Disease occurs when there is a disruption to this flow. By stimulating key points on the body, blockages are
removed and imbalances corrected with the aim of restoring harmony and health.

osteopathy
Osteopathy is a system of manual medicine developed in the late 1800’s. It is based on the recognition that the body’s structure is integrally related to its function. Therefore, when the body is structurally sound the healthy state is normal. Structural impediments therefore become blockages to health.
Osteopathy can assess, diagnose and then gently correct these structural impediments using a variety of hands-on soft tissue and manipulative techniques to restore normal, healthy blood and nerve supply and therefore normal tissue function. Osteopaths assess not only bones, but also joints, tendons, ligaments, muscles and connective tissue. Correcting the structural imbalances in these areas alleviates a variety of painful conditions such as headache/migraine, back and neck pain, painful joints and soft tissue injuries, and often greatly improves conditions such as dysmenorrhoea (painful periods), reflux, constipation and arthritis.
Australian trained osteopaths have a minimum of 5 years university training and are recognised as Primary healthcare practitioners, trained to recognise conditions that require medical referral.
cranial osteopathy
Cranial Osteopathy is another method of assessment, diagnosis and treatment. Practitioners trained in this method develop the ability to feel very small changes in the shape of your whole body. The osteopath will assess for the presence of a small cyclic shape change, similar to the rising and falling of the chest while breathing. This cyclical shape change is often referred to as the Primary Respiratory Mechanism, and is associated with the subtle movement of the bones of the skull and pelvis, circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid and the coiling and uncoiling of the nervous tissues.
The practitioner will usually hold either the head or pelvis and check to see whether the mechanism is dulled, limited or distorted in any way. As this Mechanism is a reflection of the health of the body, any restriction indicates dysfunction in part of the body. Osteopaths are trained to identify where the restriction lies, and correct it with small, accurate balancing movements.
As well as the conditions already mentioned, cranial osteopathy is especially effective when dealing with trauma to the head, after car accidents or other large forces put on the body, chronic injuries, problems with recurrent infections of the ears, sinuses, throat or chest. It is also very useful for newborns who have just experienced one of the biggest traumas of life – birth!

hypnotherapy
Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state of deep relaxation. In this altered state of consciousness a person is much more able to use therapeutic
suggestions, explore problems and address issues to achieve effective change. Hypnotherapy is a cooperative process in which the therapist
facilitates the client achieving the agreed goal of therapy using hypnosis. At all times the client remains in control, aware of their
surroundings and their body. Hypnotherapy can be used to reduce physical symptoms, increase wellbeing and resolve past issues.
Hypnotherapy helps people to stop smoking, nail biting, bed-wetting, to lose weight, to deal with fears and phobias, and to stop migraines.
Hypnotherapy can also be used to increase self confidence, improves study and examination performance, reduce symptoms of stress and tension,
help with pain control, as well as other anxiety induced conditions. Hypnotherapy has proved very successful for people suffering from
Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Hypnotherapy and Ego State Therapy are effective tools to harness the power of the subconscious mind to bring about long lasting change.
These changes will improve the quality of your life and allow you to discover and explore your untapped potential. Self knowledge allows you
to move beyond the limitations of the past and generate a successful future.
