a LITTLE ABOUT ME....

I have been practising in and around the lake district since 1999 I run my own clinic which has successfully treated many people with a wide range of health conditions. These include emotional problems, stress, low energy levels, food intolerances, weight issues and hormonal problems. I have spent several years working with the breath for life children’s clinic based
in Lancaster, I particularly enjoy working with children who are very responsive to natural support I am both a member of the complimentary medical association, the foundation of natural therapy and the professional kinesiology association, and the local representative for the candida society
 
 
I test for imbalances in the body covering the emotional, mental and energetic Needs If intolerances and allergies are found we then deal with the underlying cause of this which could involve dietary change and supplement taking. Everyone is individual in their needs but it can take 4-6 or 8-12 weeks for positive changes to occur. We then do the repair step which enables in most cases a re-introduction of foods taken out and a minimal programme of supplement to support the work .
I also test for geopathic electromagnetic mercury toxicity and discuss ways to support using natural methods whatever is presenting. 

a LITTLE ABOUT naturopathy....

"Naturopathic Medicine is about inspiring and empowering you to make positive changes in your health and your life."

By drawing on the very latest advances in conventional health sciences and research, and integrating them with a range of safe, effective natural therapies and age-old traditional medicines, Naturopathy or Naturopathic Medicine offers a truly holistic way of assessing, preventing and treating conditions of both the body and mind.

Whilst taking into account all aspects of current state of wellbeing - physical, mental and emotional - Naturopathic Medicine not only provides symptomatic relief, but also seeks to address the underlying causes of illness and disease, in a supportive rather than suppressive manner.

In utilizing a range of Naturopathic techniques, including:

    * Professional Health Screening
    * Dietary and Lifestyle Strategies and Advice

    * Food as Medicine
    * Western Herbal Medicines
    * Flower Essences
    * and Counseling Techniques

 I aim to work with you to devise a health and wellness plan that fully takes into account your individual needs and lifestyle.

The main principles of naturopathy are:

• First do no harm. Naturopathy uses natural healing methods and treatments that limit harmful side effects and that are as non-invasive as possible. In other words, naturopathy doesn’t advocate suppressing one symptom at the expense of another area of the body, like antibiotics that disrupt digestion.
• Nature heals. Naturopathy honors the body’s self-healing abilities and seeks to remove challenges that stand in the way of recovery.
• Treat the whole person. Naturopathy takes the whole patient into account, including physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, environmental and socioeconomic influences.
• Treat the cause. Naturopathy seeks to treat the cause of the ailment, rather than alleviate or suppress symptoms.
• Prevent disease. Naturopathy focuses on preventing disease, not just treating it.
• Practitioner as teacher. Practitioner of naturopathy work in cooperation with their patients to maximize self-healing abilities and provide them with the knowledge and tools they need to promote and enhance wellness.

a LITTLE ABOUT KINESIOLOGY....

"Kinesiology is the fastest developing Natural Health Science. Kinesiology is the science of using simple, gentle, non-intrusive muscle test to analyse and assess body function, to locate functional imbalances in diet, structure, and emotions and help to correct them speedily."

KINESIOLOGY IS THE BODY'S DETECTIVE

You can be free of them. Get relief from the things that are holding you back. Be will ing to make some changes in your lifestyle.

THE MIND
With its emotions, thoughts, ideas, dreams, fears, anxieties and phobias. Kinesiology has many ways to help with stress and emotional disturbances which are having a psychosomatic effect. There are many powerful techniques to help with dyslexia, slow learning, reading difficulties and other co-ordination problems.

THE BODY
The structure of the muscles, bones and organs. Kinesiology helps find and correct common structural weaknesses and imbalances that can cause pain, discover muscle malfunction from whatever cause. It utilises gentle methods of instant activation to begin to restore normal function. Backache, sports injuries, and most aches and pains can usually be resolved.

THE BIO-CHEMISTRY Of organ, function, food digestion, digestive enzymes, minerals, vitamins.

Kinesiology is a quick way to check for food sensitivities, allergic reactions, and specific nutritional needs. It can also help assess our adrenalin and endocrine levels, and bio-chemic responses to stress. A strong immune system is vital to health, and Kinesiology can help restore balance and strengthen our resistance to disease.

LIFE FORCE
The fourth often neglected vital part of us is the life force, it is the energy which enables everything to function in what we call life. Kinesiology is used to detect and remedy energy excesses and deficiencies and blockages. Too few people eat what their body really needs and suits them individually. All too few people exercise as much as is desirable for optimum health. Too many find their cheerful disposition troubled by all the pressures, stresses, strains, and traumas of everyday life.

 Kinesiology can pick up many common functional imbalances long before they are serious symptoms.

 The trouble is, we have been brought up all our lives to wait until something gets really bad before we get around to doing something about it. We don't want to be called a hypochondriac, so we keep quite, please don't…………HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH!
