Homoeopathy

Is a totally safe, non-toxic system of natural medicine which stimulates the body’s own
defence and immune system so that health is restored.

Homoeopathy treats the underlying causes of illness. It has a wholistic approach, taking into account the individual differences of each person together with all the symptoms they may present with. Remarkable improvements have been recorded with this treatment in common acute illnesses, a large range of chronic diseases, as well as behavioural and emotional problems.

Homoeopathic medicines can safely be used for everyone including babies, pregnant women, seniors, family pets and farm animals.

A Homoeopathic Preventative Program is available for your children to keep them safe and protected. They can begin at any time, from as early as one month of age.


Naturopathy

Naturopathy is a system of treating disease and disorders based on assisting nature.It does this by the use of a wide range of modalities such as homoeopathy, dietary changes, massage, flower essences, herbal medicines, Reiki, nutritional supplementation, exercise and sunlight.

Naturopathy is wholistic medicine which means that it evaluates the total health of the person, looking for ways to improve the whole general health and well-being, as well as the specific symptoms that might have initiated seeing a practitioner.


Flower Essences

Sylvia uses the Bach Flower Remedies; the Australian Bush Flower Essences; her own Forest Essences and the Elemental Essences.

Flower Essences can powerfully assist in resolving emotional crises and negative states, while at the same time gently nudging us to find the strength within ourselves.

When overwhelming feelings or negative states persist, physical or mental symptoms may develop, such as tirdness, migraines or depression. By subtly treating emotions, flower essences are actually addressing the true underlying causes of the symptoms.


Meditation

NEW MEDITATION COURSE NOW AVAILABLE: MINDFULNESS MEDITATION

Mindfulness meditation has been demonstrated to effectively assist us to live with less stress, pain, anxiety and fear and to help our lives to contain more comfort and ease. Meditation is the practice of focusing the attention on one thing at a time in order to still the mind. Meditation works on many levels from simply relaxing the body to being used as an aid to healing, maintaining wellbeing, or as a tool for the journey within.

This course guides the meditator through different mindfulness practices providing time proven tools for handling stress, for easing body pain or discomfort, for stress management, to improve sleep, to improve general health and for living life with the richness of being present.

By gently allowing each person to move at their own pace, the course will be suitable for those new to meditation as well as those more experienced.

Regular meditation practice promotes balance, stability and health so that even in times of procrastination, confusion, upheaval or lack of clarity we can be more present, aware amd accepting of our situation and maintain a greater sense of peace within.

Iridology

Provides an accurate diagnosis of the physical and emotional health of the whole person, from the study of the iris of the eye.

The iris is the portion of the eye showing colour. It reveals body constitution, inherent strengths and weaknesses, health levels, and transitions that take place in a person's body according to their way of life.

Sylvia specialises in an intuitive, gentle style of remedial body therapy that releases muscle tension, spasm and pain, leaving the body feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.

Effective in healing and/or managing many problems such as:

  • Stress
  • Sprains
  • Sciatica
  • Insomnia
  • Back pain
  • Headaches
  • Chronic pain
  • Sports injuries
  • Sinus problems
  • Muscle soreness
  • Over-use injuries
  • Emotional trauma

Note that treatment is safe, effective and relaxing for pregnant women also.

Reiki

Reiki is a 'hands on' technique that taps into the unlimited supply of "life force energy". It treats the whole person, improving health and enhancing the quality of life.

Reiki heals by raising the vibratory level of the person's energy field. This allows the "out of balance" or negative energy to fall away. By this occuring, Reiki clears, rebalances and heals the person's energy, thus allowing the life force to flow on healthily.

Natural Fertility Management

Fertility may be greatly assisted naturally by the use of rebalancing homoeopathic, herbal and flower essence remedies. Sylvia will prescribe remedies constitutionally endeavouring to get the body back to a perfect balance so that pergnancy has more chance of occuring. Sometimes some rebalancing body massage is required as well.

Allergy Testing and Treatment

The treatment for allergies is best done by constitutional homoeopathy geared to desensitizing the immune system so that it is not as "reactive" to the allergens. Treatment is simple, effective and safe.
