Technically an array of gentle, non-invasive spinal and cranio-sacral corrections, combined with lifestyle choices and dietary advice, are offered to enhance your overall wellbeing.

CRANIO-SACRAL BALANCING : :
The Cranio-sacral system contains the bones of the head and spine, the spinal cord and the sacrum. These parts of the body are interconnected through a continuous layer of membranes and fascia. Sometimes accident, illness or emotional trauma leaves this system weak, disturbed and out of balance. Cranio-Sacral balancing is a subtle, yet deeply effective bodywork, which combines scientific skills with the sensitivity and intuition of the practitioner. During the process, the movements of the cranial bones, membranes and body tissues are fully supported and encouraged to naturally re-adjust. This helps to balance the system and release tension. Particularly effective for headaches and migraine, neck, jaw and whiplash, depression, babies and children.

ESOGETIC THERAPY ::

Iridology states that each area of the body is represented by a corresponding area in the iris. Iridology is not a treatment for illness in itself, rather it is used to diagnose health problems and make recommendations for changes in diet or lifestyle.

JIN SHIN JYUTSU : :

For the patient the photographs are an indicator of changes within the body and its healing process, which may not necessarily be felt as an immediate conscious or physical experience.

NATUROPATHY : :
Naturopathy is based upon natural medicine. Through treatment of the whole person it supports the individual’s innate healing mechanism. Following thorough assessment, treatment may involve dietary changes, herbal and homeopathic medicine, bodywork or nutritional supplements. The word holistic means an approach that includes the mind and body together. Naturopathy follows that philosophy.

METAMORPHOSIS : :
Metamorphosis helps us to release the blockages and stresses created through the pre-natal time. It uses the spinal reflex on the feet, hands and head as a way to tune into the clear primary blockage in the unconscious which inhibit our functioning.

PHYSIOTHERAPISTS ::

REFLEXOLOGY : :
Reflexology is a gentle form of healing done by simulating pressure points on the feet or hands, which orresponds to the organs of the body.

Reflexology is a natural therapy and complementary to traditional medicine.

REIKI : :
Reiki is a Japanese word referring to the active “life force” of the Universe.

The flow of energy is experienced mostly as heat by both the person channeling the energy and those receiving, but is may also be experienced as a fine tingling, a tremor, and in cases of extreme need, a deep chill. Following treatment the person feels more relaxed and peaceful. 

SYNAPSIS WAVE THERAPY ::
Synapsis Wave Therapy assists the mind to calm and relax overworked or overstimulated parts of the brain by restoring balance to the alpha, beta, delta and theta brainwaves.  Beta, alpha, theta and delta brain waves are produced at different times during our waking and sleeping cycles. Our brainwave patterns closely correlate with our thoughts, emotions and state of being. By restoring the rhythmic brain wave balance, blocked body systems also return to normal.

When traumatized, the fascia can thicken, harden and dry out causing restricted movement in the body and pain. Therapy with this method stretches and applies heat to the connective tissue, thereby altering its viscosity and allowing it to restore its original condition.
