At your first appointment I will spend some time (up to 30 minutes) taking details about you including your lifestyle and your medical history in order to give me a good understanding of your general health and well-being. I will discuss any specific problems and worries you may have and I will explain in detail the procedure and benefits of the treatments that I can offer. If necessary I will contact your G.P or consultant to ask for their consent for your treatment. The complementary treatments that I offer are safe and can help with various conditions, but occasionally I will need to confirm that there will not be a conflict with ongoing medical treatment or medication. The therapies that I provide will actively support your body's natural healing process and will help you to live a more holistic lifestyle. Your treatment will take place in a warm tranquil environment where you will be able to totally relax, forget the cares of the world and enjoy some quality time. Food sensitivity testing is useful for people who have conditions such as digestive problems, arthritis, asthma and hayfever. Much of the time these problems are not caused by an allergy but by an intolerance of the body to cope with certain substances. For example problems can occur with intolerance to wheat, dairy products, house-dust and pollen. The food sensitivity test will allow me to identify those substances that are causing an adverse reaction and I will then be able to recommend how best to eliminate them in order to assess the effect. If you want to you can usually gradually reintroduce them over time. Before we start testing I will ask you to complete a detailed questionnaire to enable me to have a good understanding of your current situation and general wellbeing. The actual testing which is non-invasive takes about 45 minutes to complete and I will focus on the particular problems that you have identified that require treatment. Following the testing I will be able to provide you with a summary of your "intolerances" and I will advise you how best to reduce or eliminate the substances that are causing the problem; where possible I will offer you alternatives - e.g. Soya products in place of dairy products. Sometimes you may experience "withdrawal" symptoms if you change your diet. In a few case people suffer headaches, extra tiredness or irritability, but this is normal as your system adjusts to the new regime - we call this a "healing-crisis" but don't worry it is usually short-term but if you are concerned you should contact me to discuss the options. If you are on medication I will always advise you to consult your G.P if you are concerned that there may be an adverse reaction, and I will never advise you to stop taking any medication that has been prescribed or change the amount that you are taking. Kinesiology was originally developed by an American chiropractor called George Goodheart. He found that by testing muscles before and after he made a correction he achieved better results for his patients. As time progressed he was able to make a connection between various muscles and acupuncture meridians. By testing these muscles the kinesiologist can get a picture of what is happening in your meridian system and how this is affecting you. But, equally, the muscle testing can also show what has affected the meridians in the first place and indicate what is the best way to deal with that stress, be it emotional, physical, environmental, nutritional or mental. So, kinesiology is a blend of the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and western techniques that allow a kinesiologist to treat you in a truly holistic manner. Each person's session is unique to them. Kinesiology can establish connections between imbalances and can establish which the priority issue to be dealt with is and what is the most effective treatment. Kinesiology uses a range of gentle yet extremely powerful techniques. These restore balance to your system and create and maintain health and well-being. You can function better on all levels. Kinesiology also allows the kinesiologist to draw on other healing techniques and modalities and integrate them into the session where appropriate and indicated by the muscle response. Some people consider kinesiology to be one
of the best methods to use to uncover and help the underlying causes
of health problems that are difficult to find by any other means.
The main tool in Kinesiology is muscle testing.
Gentle pressure is used to find out what is happening in the body
measuring the muscle's response. There is no need to remove any clothing, other than shoes, but wearing loose, comfortable clothing is recommended. Some imbalances can & will be corrected during treatment. Techniques used include:
Kinesiology is a very effective diagnostic tool and my clients are often amazed at how accurately it can pin-point the cause of the problem. Kinesiology can help with a variety of conditions such as:
The number of treatment needed varies, depending on the condition of the client and the amount of time the problem has been present. Instant improvement and a more relaxed feeling are very often achieved after the first treatment although most clients will need a number of top up at regular intervals. No consultation and treatment is ever the same; every client is treated as an individual and people will react to changes in lifestyle in different ways. The first session will take about 1 hr 30 mins. while follow-up sessions will last about 45 min. Aromatherapy is a complementary therapy that uses essential oils (concentrated plant essences) to improve and maintain physical and emotional well-being. It is a holistic form of healing; treatment can take place in the form of massage, steam-inhalation, creams, ointments compresses and baths.
Essential oils are highly concentrated and must be diluted before being applied to the skin. Essential oils applied to the skin are absorbed into the bloodstream, reaching the areas where they are most needed. Minute molecules of oils can also enter the system via inhalation or vaporisation.
Our sense of smell is very important, maybe more then we realise, evoking various responses and memories. The use of essential oils can also work on a spiritual and emotional level. Apart from anything else Aromatherapy is a great way to relax and wind down. Your treatment will take place in a warm, tranquil environment, and you will be covered in warm towels, except for the part of your body that is being worked on, with relaxing music being playing in the background. During the treatment, which usually lasts up to 1 hour, you will feel relaxed and at ease enabling stress and tension to be gradually reduced. At the end of the treatment you will hopefully feel calm and revitalised. I often prepare mixes of essential oils for you to take home to prolong the beneficial effects of the treatment. You can use the oil as bath oil, as inhalation or as a body treatment. Information will be given on how to use the oils safely. Mainly clients find regular treatments beneficial. Aromatherapy and massage can be beneficial for
many conditions such as Your first appointment will include a full consultation to discuss specific problems, your general health and to take your medical history. Always make sure you ask for advice from a qualified practitioner. For a list of local therapists please contact |
