What is Naturopathy?

Naturopathy is a safe, effective, patient-centred type of health care practised extensively worldwide. A Naturopathic practitioner takes a holistic approach to wellness, considering all systems of the body when looking for, and treating, the underlying causes of illness. Naturopathy aims to educate the person to look after their health, minimising symptoms of any illness, supporting the body’s capacity to heal, and balancing the body so that it is less likely that illness will occur in the future.

What is Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy is the manual manipulation of the soft tissues of the body — muscle, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and skin — at varying degrees of pressure and movement to give relief from a wide range of conditions. Massage can reduce pain, muscle soreness and tension, reduce stress, improve circulation, improve energy and alertness, lower heart rate and blood pressure, improve immune function and increase relaxation. Organs can sometimes reflect distress and dysfunction in the same way as muscles, bones, or nerves. We know they benefit from massage too, since they share neurological pain pathways with muscles, bones, and nerves.

What is Kinesiology?

Kinesiology is a holistic therapy that uses muscle response testing to measure the motor response of the central nervous system to a sensory challenge. By doing this, we can determine imbalances and indicate methods to rebalance the body. This bio-feedback mechanism allows every treatment to be tailored to each individual’s needs. It is a profound modality that works on the basis that your body can naturally heal itself when given the correct tools and building blocks. It works on multiple levels such as physical, mental, emotional, financial, spiritual, nutritional, biochemical and energetic to bring about long-lasting changes.

What is SomatoEmotional Release?

SomatoEmotional release helps to release the emotional energy of past traumas.

Most therapies separate mind and body. However, body and mind are inseparable and are actually just facets of a single, unified being. Studies show that a significant change in mental perspective will cause changes in the physical body. SomatoEmotional release facilitates personal growth as well as recovery from injury and illness.

What is Visceral Manipulation?

Visceral Manipulation (VM) is a form of gentle hands-on manual therapy that aids the body’s ability to release restrictions and unhealthy compensations that can cause pain and dysfunction. Connective tissue surrounds your internal organs and holds them in place in the body. Healthy connective tissue should move easily to allow organs to slide on each other when you rotate or flex your torso. However, inflammation from illness, or trauma from an accident can thicken and tighten this connective tissue. Through gentle visceral manipulations, internal organs and connective tissue can be encouraged to release restrictions improving mobility, tone and functioning. This has many benefits, including improvements in musculoskeletal, digestive, vascular, nervous, respiratory and lymphatic systems.

What is CranioSacral Therapy?

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - which is comprised of the membranes, bones and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. It uses gentle pressure on the head, neck, and back examining and adjusting the membranes, bones and movement of fluids in and around the central nervous system which can, as a result, help to treat a number of conditions including musculoskeletal, digestive, respiratory, circulatory, depression and anxiety and more.
