Herbal Medicine
Herbs have been used for thousands of years successfully in different therapeutic philosophies.  Throughout history and in recent times there is a strong growing interest in their use for many health disorders and to restore balance and harmony to our body.

They play a very important role in the spiritual healing ecology of the North American Indians of which I use many of their herbs, along with herbs from Australia and several other countries.

When you visit a herbalist your formula will be blended in accordance with your own individual needs after a full health assessment is taken.  These can be given to you in the form of extracts or herbal potions.

Nutrition
If your diet consists mainly of “take away” foods, high fat foods and processed foods with high sugar content then this can contribute towards many health disorders related to a faulty diet.  Health whether it be good or bad is largely determined by nutrition. The healthy function of our digestive system is very important and stress, pollution along with lifestyle factors have a tremendous effect on the state of our health and vitality.  A few dietary/lifestyle changes may be required along with some nutritional supplements in the form of vitamins and minerals in order to bring about a better quality state of health.  
 

Ear Candling
Used for centuries by the North American Hopi Indians, Egyptians, Oriental and European cultures.  This treatment is very safe, painless and non-invasive.  The candles contains various herbs with honey extracts.  It has been noted that they have been beneficial for sinusitis, many ear disorders, certain headaches, sore throats, allergies, post nasal drip, and catarrh during colds and flu etc.  This treatment is followed with a facial/head massage.  Ear Candling assists in clearing the physical hearing and opening up the spiritual hearing.
 

Essential Oils
These oils are commonly used in aromatherapy treatments but can also be absorbed by the body by using in baths and vapourisation.  Depending on your individual needs at the time of your consultation I may suggest the use of appropriate oils to assist in bringing about a state of harmony, vitality and good health.

For instance in cases of respiratory disorders such as colds and influenza,  the use of inhalations along with herbal medicine and nutritional supplementation can bring about a faster recovery in relieving congestion from the sinuses and lungs.
 

Ayurveda/Herbal Energetics
Ayurveda means “The Science of Life” and therefore the science of herbal energetics.   This is an ancient system used to determine the qualities and powers of herbs used in accordance with the laws of nature.   Herbs are selected for your individual needs along with your constitution type.  The 3 main constitution types being Kapha, Vata and Pitta.   Assessment of a persons constitution is ascertained during a consultation.

Plants absorb the energy of the sun and therefore in turn, bring to us the healing energy power of the sun along with all the nutritional and mineral content it absorbs from the earth.
 

Reiki & Seichim
(Including Native American Smudging & Aura Dusting)
Reiki is a Japanese word which means Universal Life Energy.  It is an Ancient Healing Art channelling universal life energy through the laying on of hands.  The Energy is out there in the Universe and it’s ultimate source is the Creator which is a limitless force of energy.  Reiki is healing energy that is transmitted through the hands of a channel (practitioner).  When activated and applied for purposes of healing, Reiki addresses body, mind and spirit.  It accelerates the body’s ability to heal physical ailments, opening the mind and spirit to the underlying reasons of disease, pain, discomfort and blockages, which might have caused the problem in the first place. By receiving Reiki you start to release these emotions and better able to confront them.  Energy levels are increased and you gain more self-esteem and confidence, releasing all stress from your life and bringing about clarity and focus.  Only by experiencing Reiki can you know how good you can feel.

Seichim is an Ancient Egyptian Healing often incorporated with Reiki.  Seichim is the feminine healing energy and Reiki is masculine. Seichim is associated with the Eastern Goddess of Compassion and Mercy, Kwan Yin.  The origin of Seichim being ancient Egypt - particularly Karnac - which, in ancient times, was a place of learning.

Vibrational Medicine
Using the following;

Flower & Gem Essences , such as Australian Bush Flowers/Australian Living Essences/Californian and Bach Flower Remedies are a few of the selections I will use including some I have made myself. Flower remedies are tailor made for your individual needs and are quite safe to use with no side effects both on young children/aged people and animals.  Flower remedies can assist you with emotional issues such as grief, sadness, anger, frustration, along with life direction and change.  They can also assist you in letting go of unwanted "baggage" from your life enabling you to move forward more positively without unnecessary burdens or attachments you have long outgrown.

Colour Therapy was used in ancient times and is now experiencing a new awakening.  Many ancient cultures used colour in their beliefs and in healing.  The Rainbow consists of 7 colours along with the chakras and the 7 layers of the Auric Field.  I incorporate colour into Reiki/Seichim treatments.

Crystals have been used for thousands of years by ancient civilisations, dating far back to Atlantis.  Holistic healers have utilised the energy of crystals in healing particularly during body work.  They are often placed on the body during healing and sometimes around the body depending on the nature of the problem.  An extension of crystal/gem therapy is by taking Gem Essences orally to assist with the overall healing process.

Tibetan Sounds Singing Bowls originated in the Pre Buddhist Shamanic Bon Po culture of the Himalayas also called “Tibetan” Singing Bowls.  Originally from Bhutan, Nepal, India and Tibet.   Used in Body Therapy, Massage, Reiki,  meditation and clearing the energy fields.  The extended toning and vibration of the sound during the session brings about relaxation on a deep cellular level.  I may use sound therapy during Reiki treatments or Ear Candling depending on the situation or in accordance with your wishes.
 

Polarity Therapy
Polarity therapy heals by activating the Universal Life Force Energy, also known as Ki Force, and Qi/Pranic Energy which balances the natural life force energy fields that sustain the human body.  If your energy becomes blocked within the body – it results in pain, tension, stress etc.  Polarity is another form of hands on healing which incorporates gentle rocking movements of the body and occasional rotation and stretching of legs to release constriction and tension

When hands are placed on positive and negative points on the body this activates an energy current between these 2 points, assisting in balancing and recharging the body as the energy flows.  This treatment is deeply relaxing yet revitalising and is a powerful healing technique.  When we are in a relaxed state our bodies own intelligence will automatically correct any temporary imbalances.  Disease simply means a state of dis-harmony where the energy flow is not able to return to its origin.

On a physical level Polarity Therapy is used to treat numerous back problems, including rotating and tilting pelvis, short leg syndrome, tennis shoulder and more.  Polarity therapy can increase your physical energy, relieve fatigue, stress, relax muscular tension, balance the metabolic and nervous system, increase self awareness, whilst releasing deeply held emotional patterns.

Polarity exercises will be shown to you at the end of the treatment to enable you to assist in your own healing.  They are easy stretching postures combining use of sound, breath.

Polarity therapy is received fully clothed, so please wear comfortable clothing.  Appointments are scheduled for either 1 hour or 1½  hours.
