It's Summer 2012

Summer is well and truely here. Christmas and New Years have come and gone and the temperatures are heating up.

Keep hydrated this summer and make sure you drinkl enough water. I drink a litre of water when I wake up in the morning. This is a great start to the day for everyone. Follow this with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and you will always be hydrated. Don't think that you will get enough water just through your food. This is a huge mistake and can lead to dehydration and feeling tired.

Feel like a cleanse. Book a consultation for a personal program to get your cleanse started.

Green juice is all over the media at the moment and as many of you know it is one of my favourite things. Green juice and smoothies are an easy way to get your nutrients in, keep your body healthy and keep us feeling great. Here is one of my favourite recipies.

Body

Keeping our body fit, healthy and relaxed is a priority in todays world. We are all busy with work family and social activities and it can be easy to neglect your physical health. Using techniques such as massage, cupping and hot stone therapy, we can maintain a state of physical balance. Massage is perhaps one of the oldest healing traditions. Many cultures - including the Ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Chinese and Indians - were convinced of the therapeutic properties of massage and used it to treat a variety of ailments. The skin is the largest organ of the human body and is packed with nerve endings. Massage works by soothing soft tissue and encouraging relaxation.One of the immediate benefits of massage and hot stone therapy is a feeling of deep relaxation and calm. This occurs because massage prompts the release of endorphins, the brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that produce feelings of wellbeing. Levels of stress hormones - such as adrenalin, cortisol and norepinephrine - are also reduced. Studies indicate that high levels of stress hormones impair the immune system. Body therapies are also useful in conditions such as: AnxietyArthritisBack painChronic painConstipationDepressionFibromyalgiaHeadacheHigh blood pressureInsomniaIncrease immune functionOld injuriesMiagraneMuscle cramps and spasmsNeck PainFatiguePoor circulationMuscle sorenessBody treatments pricing$90 45 minutes $110 1 hourBooking Essential

Reiki Reiki treatments and attunements up to Reiki Master available. See below.Reiki is a non-invasive, gentle, yet powerful method of healing. Reiki energy, (often described as `universal life energy' or `spiritual energy') is accessed by the practitioner during a treatment. It enhances the body’s natural healing ability and promotes wellbeing.Reiki treatment stands on its own as a healing practice and is also safely used to support orthodox and complementary medicine. Reiki doesn’t interfere with or diminish the intended effects of other health or medical practices.Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. An amazingly simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to the student during a Reiki class. This ability is passed on during an "attunement" given by a Reiki master and allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of "life force energy" to improve one's health and enhance the quality of life.Reiki treatments $90 40 minutes$110 1 hourA series of 3 treatments is recommended for clients new to Reiki.Reiki Distance Healings available by appointment.Reiki treatment is included as part of all bodywork.

Flower Essences

Flower Essence TreatmentFlower essences are herbal infusions or decoctions, made from the flowering part of the plant, which uniquely address emotional and mental aspects of wellness. The first 38 flower remedies were formulated by a British physician, Dr. Edward Bach, in the 1930's, although new remedies from other plant species from around the world are now available.Rather than determining the physical symptoms, flower essences are best chosen by understanding the specific mental or emotional challenges which face you. These remedies are uniquely suited to address this part of your wellness program.The gentle nature of Flower Essences means that they are very useful in a variey of situations from treating small children and pregnant women to people on medications. Flower Essences can be prescribed along with other remedies during a Naturopathic appointment. For specific Flower Essence treatment please add to the cart and we will contact you shorlty for a 20 minute phone consultation.
