Kinesiology

Kinesiology enables people to detect and correct imbalances that relate to stress, nutrition, learning problems, minor injuries and other issues they meet in their daily life. The energy pathways within the body not only relate to the muscles but to every tissue and organ that make the body a living, feeling being. These pathways can be evaluated by testing the function of the muscles, which in turn reflect the body’s overall state of structural, chemical, and emotional wellbeing. Kinesiology brings a person closer to achieving any goal of their choice - in sport, relationships, learning or coping with life generally.

Sam Miles is a PKP certified Kinesiologist and a Pilates instructor. Sam has experience working with active sports and dance people wanting to achieve optimum physical potential, as well as injury rehabilitation and relief of chronic pain.

Holistic Massage

Massage is an ancient healing art, using the power of touch to connect, listen to and understand the body’s rhythms.  It is an instinctive and deeply powerful therapy.  Different massage strokes, techniques and pressures can help you feel more relaxed, energetic, uplifted, or bring a greater sense of calm and well-being.  Holistic massage treatments draw on classic therapeutic techniques such as Swedish massage, deep tissue and trigger point therapy and combine these techniques with an intuitive approach to create unique treatments that are tailor-made for you.

Reflexology

There is evidence that reflexology began as a therapy thousands of years ago and that variations were used by both the Native American Indians and the Ancient Egyptians.  It is an extraordinary pressure point therapy given via the feet based on the premise that the body has the ability to heal itself.  Not only is a treatment deeply relaxing but can also help identify and treat specific physiological conditions.  Stimulating a reflex area on the hand or foot that corresponds to an area of illness, injury or stress, releases blocked energy pathways and enables healing mechanisms to work more effectively.  Reflexology is a non-invasive and gentle treatment.  Whilst balancing the body’s systems, it provides deep relaxation and a sense of wellbeing.  Only shoes and socks are removed for a treatment which is given with the client lying down.  During the treatment there may be some discomfort at certain reflex points indicating a point of imbalance. However, these feelings are momentary.

Energy Work

Energy is a powerful and expressive presence in our everyday lives.  When we have an awareness of the energy that surrounds us, we have the potential for perfect balance of body and mind.  In modern society we may find ourselves feeling disconnected and in a state of imbalance.  Energy healing can help to bring you back into alignment.  It can help you find peace and groundedness in your everyday life.  Taking a holistic approach to energy healing, we will discuss your overall health and well-being, and formulate a treatment that is individually yours, and which may include breath-work, sound or visualisation techniques.

Nutritional Medicine and Weightloss

Good Nutrition - the Cornerstone of Great Health
Nutritional Medicine involves is using vitamins, minerals and trace elements to correct imbalances.  The goal is to restore optimum ratios  of all nutrients that are required for day-to-day function.

A deficiency or imbalance of essential nutrients can cause significant symptoms, or underpin some disease states.

Lifestyle choices, mal-absorption of nutrients as well as metabolic derangements can lead to an imbalance in your nutritional status.

Nutritional Medicine aims to assess you as an individual, so to ascertain the specific imbalances and correct them using vitamin and mineral supplements, as well as recommending lifestyle and general dietary adjustments, for a lasting benefit.  Like with all other therapies, the work is done together with you, the client, so every dietary change and lifestyle adjustment is discussed and alternative solutions are explored together!

It is often underestimated what effect the lack of certain minerals and vitamins can have on behavior and development of children.   For example, a number of learning problems, such as ADHD, Aspergers Syndrome, Dyslexia, and autism may be significantly connected to nutritional imbalances.

Once those have been corrected there is usually a marked improvement in the affected person's condition.

Eating a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds and animal proteins allows us to obtain the broadest possible selection of nutrients. But what is right for your best friend or your partner may not be right for you.

Our 21st century eating and lifestyle habits have narrowed down the range of foods in most people's diets and increased the proportion of simple carbohydrates compared to protein.

A diet high in carbohydrates - especially refined ones - leads to weight gain, elevated cholesterol levels, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and cardiovascular disease and other related problems. It is also the main culprit for fatigue and the all-too-common "afternoon slump" - the feeling that descends on a great number of people about 1-2 hours after eating lunch, when one feels one must have stimulants to get through the rest of the afternoon - sweet foods and caffeine being the oft - but ill-chosen remedy.

There is no "one size fits all" diet. Just as we are all different, the way each of us processes foods can differ greatly.

Finding our your Metabolic Type and fine-tuning your diet accordingly can help with issues such as:

sleep problems, mood swings, fatigue, irritability, weight gain, bowel or digestive problems...and many more. "After all, we are what we eat" !

Working closely together we can identify the problem foods in your diet and devise an eating plan that is appropriate for you. The end result will be an improvement in your general health, reduction of risk factors and more energy.

Women's Health & Natural Fertility

Women's bodies go through a great many changes due to the cycles of reproduction and the the dance of the hormones that control these cycles.

With so many players in the orchestra, it doesn't take much for one aspect of our lives to have an impact on the way the whole symphony ends up playing!

Women-specific health issues can include:
Problems associated with menstruation:

pain, cramping, bloating, anxiety, irritability, flooding, irregularity, spotting.
PMS is a common issue for many women, causing irritability, cravings, bloating, depression and breast tenderness.  Fortunately this is an area that natural management can improve exponentially.  Don't suffer for a single month longer - request an appointment NOW!


Hormonal irregularities can lead to or worsen:

depression
stress
skin problems and
weight issues.
Endometriosis, fibroids, cervical dysplasia and cancers of the breast, cervix, ovaries and uterus are all connected to hormonal irregularities.

Menopause can cause hot flushes, sweats, dryness, depression, mood swings, high cholesterol, weight gain, high blood pressure

Infertility can be an issue for couple at any time during the reproductive years and can often be treated with great success when a "whole person" approach is taken. Ideally both partners should attend an appointment - although it is not essential that this be done at the same time. Rest assured that you will be treated with the utmost respect and confidentiality. As a basic tenet of natural medicine is discovering the causes of problems, we will thoroughly investigate all possible avenues.

Pregnancy is a very special time - women require extra nutritional support which must be co-created with great care to enhance the health of both mother and baby.

Breastfeeding has its demands as well, and again great care must be taken to ensure safe and effective strategies are put in place.

Our skilled Health Care Practitioners are here to support and advise you in all these areas.
