Alternative / complementary health care can be used to help even the youngest patients.
I frequently suggest homoeopathic remedies which are gentle, safe and very effective in both acute and chronic health care.
Immune system support and nutritional advice are both important preventative health care measures given to both parents and children. Most of the prescribed remedies taste nice and are therefore easy to take. Depending on age I try to involve the children as much as possible and encourrage them to take responsibility for their lifestyle choices and resulting health or lack thereof.

Empowers and enhances your ability to understand your baby's special needs.
Helps baby sleep better! Helps your baby release stress which builds daily from new experiences which means more rest for baby and you; everyone feels better!
I am qualified with the INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF INFANT MASSAGE (IAIM) to teach INFANT MASSAGE to parents and caregivers.
IAIM MISSION STATEMENT
The purpose of the International Association of Infant Massage is to promote nurturing touch and communication through training, education and research so that parents, caregivers and children are loved, valued and respected throughout the world community.
Classes can be held in community centres and I am available for play groups, mothers groups and individual sessions.
Cost:
Group sessions (3-6 families): $30.00 per session per family (duration of course 5 weeks)
The Buteyko Breathing Method is a program of education and simple breathing exercises that allows asthmatics to control and reduce the frequency of their asthma symptoms.
It may also be helpful in the treatment of sleep apnoea and respiratory problems other than asthma.
Children and adult classes available.
Classes are held over a period of three weeks.
Buteyko Classes
Prospective Buteyko participants are invited to make an appointment for an initial naturopathich health assessment. During this one hour session I take a thorough health history and conduct various tests which I would do with all my new patients.
In addition to this first interview I also explain the Buteyko Method and point out not only the excellent advantages of this treatment but also discuss the commitment required by the patient to achieve the desired outcome.
The six sessions which follow the initial assessment are held over 3 consecutive weeks. The first 3 sessions in week 1 are held on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. The 2nd week sessions are held on Monday and Thursday and the last session is held one week later on Thursday.
It has been my experience that timing the sessions in the above way, over 3 weeks rather than the conventional 5 days in a row, is allowing my patients greater flexibility and it gives them a chance to gradually become self-sufficient. The aim is to get every patient to a stage where they are comfortable with the level of skills achieved so that they can practice the method correctly on their own.
Fees
There are no upfront payments but each session is payed as you go.
Iridology is a diagnostic tool. An iridologist examines the iris or coloured part of the eye.
The iris is divided into several portions representing various parts of the body and equipped with this map the practitioner interprets the colour of the iris, pupil shape and specific iris signs. Iridology can give the practitioner an insight into possible problems ahead, before symptoms become clinical or even noted by the patient.
Iridologists do not diagnose diseases but analyze tissue and organ integrity, the level of health of a person and his / her constitutional and inherited weaknesses. Effects of life style choices, chemical imbalances and recuperative powers are also considered.
Dr. Ignatz von Peczely, a Hungarian physician, first developed this diagnostic techniqu about 1861 and today it is practiced around the world.
Dorn Spinal Therapy was developed in Germany over 30 years ago. It provides treatment for people wanting relief from back, neck and joint pains.
During a Dorn session you will receive a structural alignment without cracking, jerky or sudden movements. Most people report immediate relief after only one treatment and on avaerage 3-5 treatments are recommended.
Reiki is the ancient Japanese art of energy renewal whereby the practitioner is the medium for the energy transfer. The energy transfer takes place when the practitioner lays hands on the patient. The universal energy which stands at the center of Reiki is the same "force" other therapies such as acupuncture and meditation are making use of. It is known under names such as Qi, Chi, Ki, Prana or Life force.
The experience of a Reiki treatment can be different from person to person. It is sometimes described as experiencing warmth, a tingling or buzzing sensation, relaxing and calming or energizing. Many times people describe a feeling of improved health following a number of treatments.
It is non-invasive and the patient is resting on a massage table, fully clothed, during the treatment.
A note to skeptics
Firstly, let me state that I believe that healthy skepticism is absolutely essential in anything, especially in health care! Sick people can be quite desperate and therefore they can be taken advantage off easily. So choose your health practitioner carefully and inform yourself about everything. Do not accept anything on face value alone but ask as many questions as possible.
Go with your instincts! If something doesn't sit right with you then listen to those possible warning signals and proceede cautiously.
Apply this skepticism not only to natural, alternative and complementary health care but also to orthodox medicine. Why, you ask? Aren't there more studies behind pharmaceutical drugs and isn't there more scientific proof for orthodox medicine? It all depends what you call 'proof' or 'scientific' and if you trust studies which are mostly funded by the companies which produce and sell those medicines.
Did you know that most pharmaceutical companies spend more money on marketing than actual product research?
Skepticism about energetic healing
For some of you the idea of energetic healing may seem a little bit 'out there' and you might hesitate to embrace something so new to you. I respect your feelings but would like to encourage you to open your mind to new experiences.
If you are the 'scientific type' you might shudder and dismiss energetic healing altogether. But let me bring you up to date with QUANTUM PHYSICS and what some highly respected scientists think about energetic medicine.
Richard Gerber, M.D. has this to say in his book Vibrational Medicine - New Choices for Healing Ourselves - "Quantum physics and experiments in high-energy particle physics have shown us that, at the particle level, all matter is really energy. Einsteinian medicine is a viewpoint that tries to put the Newtonian picture of biomachinery into the perspective of dynamic interactive energy systems. .... The energies employed by those who use vibrational methods of healing also deliver measured quanta of energy to patients. However, the energy delivered by these therapies exists in frequencies far beyond those measured with conventional detection equipment. As unbelievable as it might seem, this higher dimensional energy is predicted by Einstein's famous equation, E=mc2."
Remember: Before man invented the microscope to confirm the existence of tiny sickness causing microbes, they still existed and caused many to become ill. Sometimes we just haven't developed the right tools to measure or validate the effect of certain therapies. Seeing - is not necessarily - believing!
The basic technique of ear candling involves the use of a hollow candle which looks like a thick straw coated with wax. It is placed gently in the ear and the outer end is lit.
The flame creates a gentle warm air vacuum in the auditory canal that draws out old wax and debris. Most people are amazed at all the wax that comes out of their ears!
Candling is less intrusive and gentler than ear washouts and it is therefore especially suitable for children.
This ancient remedy was used by the Egyptians, Chinese, Greeks and the Hopi Indians of North America and is now widely used in many countries throughout the modern world.
Ear candling may suitable for following complaints:
Excessive wax build up. Fungal problems. Sinus irritation. Glue ear or swim ear. Before taking a flight.
Note: In case of ear infection or suspected ear infection it is recommended that medical advice be sought. Once infection has been treated ear candling can be performed and with regular application may help in the prevention of further problems.
In naturopathic terms we consider the body to be healthy when HOMEOSTASIS or BALANCE in all body systems is maintained. Dis-ease occures when this balance is lost.
There are mechanisms within the body called "feedback-loops", which allow for constant observation and down or up regulation of body functions such as hormone or enzyme production, heat regulation or blood sugar regulation. An energetic blockage in any of these loops results in the messages not being properly perceived by the body and it can therefore not self-regulate and bring about homoeostasis or balance.
Homoeopathics act as amplifiers, which reinforce these messages that something is wrong so that the body is able to perceive and act accordingly.
Homoeopathy makes use of the "like cures like" rule, using very diluted substances, which are able to cause the very symptoms the sick person is experiencing, when used in a healthy person. For instance, we can use a homoeopathic made from Bee venom to treat the effects of a bee sting.
Homoeopathy is a very effective treatment modality, which acts fast and which is suitable for everyone especially babies and children.

Time Line Therapy™ (Source: http://www.nlpcoaching.com)
Do you ever feel like you're not entirely in control of your thoughts or emotions — like they just "come to you" from nowhere? Do you feel like you've lost the instruction manual to your mind? Unfortunately, it didn't come with one, but using tools such as Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Time Line Therapy™ Techniques and Hypnosis, we can learn to take charge of our thoughts, emotions, behaviors and outcomes without the missing manual.
What is Time Line Therapy™?
A simple process that allows you to let go of all the negative emotions and limiting decisions from the past and to create your future the way you want it.
Throughout history, humankind has been aware of the passage of time. Aristotle was the first to mention the "stream of time" in his book Physics IV. William James spoke of linear memory storage as early as 1890. Finally, the concept, nearly forgotten, was revived in the late 1970's by the developers of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming)
In 1985, Tad James, M.S., Ph.D. applied a therapeutic process to this concept of an internal memory storage system. The result was a collection of techniques which produces long-lasting transformation very quickly-faster than what is currently called Brief Therapy. These powerful Time Line Therapy™ techniques are becoming the method of choice to make fast, effective, long-term changes in behavior.
What is a Time Line?
Your "Time Line" is how you unconsciously store your memories or how you unconsciously know the difference between a memory from the past and a projection of the future. Behavioral change in an individual takes place at an unconscious level. People don't change consciously. The Time Line Therapy™ process allows you to work at the unconscious level and release the effects of past negative experiences and change "inappropriate" programming in minutes rather than days, months or years.
After years of development, working with clients and publishing Time Line Therapy and The Basis Personality, Dr. Tad James has become known worldwide for his Time Line Therapy™ model. It is a revolutionary new approach which has become so popular because of its ability to create quick, long lasting results.
NLP, Time Line Therapy™ and Clinical Hypnosis are now available at this clinic
My services are designed, to not only help you with issues like smoking, weight loss or emotional problems but to help you create an entirely new destiny — one of your own design. Using tools such as Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Time Line Therapy™ Techniques and Hypnotherapy, together we can transform your destiny to help you create a compelling future.
Learn how to let go of negative emotions and limiting believes from the past so that you can forge forward and create the future you really deserve!
Learn how to design and formulate business and personal goals so that they become achievable with ease and speed!
Costs and session outline
Have you considered the cost of not living your life the way you always wanted to? The loss of income you suffer because you settle for a lesser paid job? The unhappiness you experience for living in a relationship that is going nowhere? Or the lack of personal growth you are enduring because you just feel paralyzed by limiting believes about what you can or cannot do?
We start our therapy with a personal history interview for which I allow approximately two hours. The therapy or intervention sessions are packaged into “two-hour blocks”. Generally, patients require between three and five sessions and a final goal setting session which may also contain some hypnotherapy.
A “one-day / six-hourbreak-through session” is also available for those clients who are particularly seeking help with goal setting or who wish to stop smoking or need added help with weight loss or career changes.
Each two hour Time Line Therapy™ session is charged at $180.00
The “one-day / six-hour break-through session” starts at 9am-4pm (incl. one hour at noon for lunch) and is charged at $540.00
WHAT CAN BE ACHIEVED?
Define Your Goals You've tried setting goals in the past, but have you always reached them? I will help you understand why you may not have reached those past goals, and will help you define achievable goals for the future.
Eliminate Obstacles Are there negative emotions, limiting decisions or limiting beliefs in your past that are preventing you from achieving complete success? I will help you identify and eliminate these obstacles, often in surprisingly little time.
Solve Inner Conflict Perhaps you are torn and conflicted when it comes to success. Many people attach moral meaning to wealth or believe that they don't deserve to make a lot of money, have personal happiness, or meet the love of their life. Sadly, these meanings are often so overbearing, they prevent any measure of success at all. I will help you discover what your inner-conflicts are and — using advanced NLP and Time Line Therapy™ techniques — eliminate and free you from those conflicts so you can realize your ultimate potential.
Discover What is Important Often times, the things we think are important in life don't match up with the success we want. I will help you to discover what is important to you and to adjust those values and beliefs to be fully aligned with your hopes, dreams and goals.
Support E-mail supportand phone- sessions can be scheduled. Phone sessions will be charged at the same rate as clinic sessions and are payable before the session commences.
You can no more blame your circumstances for your character than you can the mirror for your looks.....
Are you on the cause side of the scales of life or on the effect side?
Are you living the life you want or are you seeing yourself as the victim who is helplessly exposed to your circumstances, cornered with no-where to go?
A big part of my job is to help inform and educate people about alternative / complementary health care. When a patient is better informed then he or she will be able to make better lifestyle choices.
I have talked on subjects such as "Anxiety and Depression", "Positive Self-talk and Healthy Minds", "Health From Your Kitchen Cupboard", "Women's Health", "Running a Healthy Business" and "Asthma Management with Butyeko".
