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 and family pets.
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 Flowers for Life Essences.
Flower Essences can powerfully assist in resolving emotional crises and negative states, while at the same time gently nudging us to find strength within ourselves.
When overwhelming feelings or negative states persist, physical or mental symptoms may develop, such as tiredness, neck and back pain, sleeplessness, migraines or depression. By subtly treating emotions, flower essences are actually addressing the true underlying causes of the symptoms.
Meditation
Meditation is the practice of focusing your 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.
Sylvia holds regular Tuesday evening courses that teach meditation step by step. She teaches techniques that are simple to use and readily applicable to everyday life.
Come and join us and experience meditation's benefits. Enjoy more calmness, energy, concentration, better health and wellbeing, improved sleep, ability to cope with stress and lots more. Why not do the course with a friend? Or if you cannot attend any of the groups, come and have a few sessions on your own.
Each course runs for 4 weeks from 6pm to 7pm. The cost is $45 (payable in advance).
Next course is Tuesday 28th April to Tuesday 19th May 2009, 6pm to 7pm. Places are limited, so booking is essential.

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.
Massage and Body Therapy
Sylvia specialises in an intuitive, gentle style of remedial massage 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 and flower essence remedies. Sylvia will prescribe remedies based on the whole person which will encourage and guide the body back to a perfect balance so that pregnancy 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.
