It is widely accepted that your body has a powerful ability to heal itself and that your mind plays a major role in health promotion.
Your initial consultation for naturopathy and acupuncture involves an in depth inquiry of your:
* Presenting symptoms (When it started, how long, sensation, how your life is influenced etc),
* Past history of any illness
* Family history of any serious illness
* Current medications/ supplements
* System review - Kidneys, reproduction, cardiovascular, respiratory, GIT, bowels, musculoskeletal, Skin.
* Lifestyle
* Diet
It may also include assessment of your iris (iridology), pulse, fingernails and even your tongue (all give clues as to your overall condition).
We treat from the grass roots up.
This means that we intervene only as necessary.
Treatment may include lifestyle, dietary or therapeutic adjustment (eg Damien often uses chinese herbs and magnets, Alexis often uses western herbs and self-hypnosis, Thi-Thi uses yoga)
Your health goals will be established at your first consultation and reviewed regularly. Only those that are realistic are included, but be prepared to be challenged.
Please bring a shortlist of goals, symptoms or questions to raise at your first consultation.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
"I originally went to see Alexis to improve my energy level.
I
was experiencing nausea regularly, chest pain and palpitations at
times, I found it hard to get up in the mornings and I knew I had
slipped into poor habits.
I found the Do-able Detox enjoyable and surprisingly easy.
Since
completing the program now over a month ago, my energy has been
consistently good, I have had absolutely no digestive symptoms nor
chest pain, and my stress levels are way down.
The program has given me the skills to listen and respond to my body's needs in a way that is simple and sustainable.
For me it has truly been a life changing experience and I would
recommend it to anyone who wants to feel rejuvenated in both body and
spirit."
