Brain health

Brain function is crucial for optimal health, when the brain has not been fully developed or matured it will affect every aspect of life. For a well-functioning nervous system we need a well connected brain with good vagal tone.

Trauma, toxins and stress affects the brain and can keep a person stuck in a state of threat, one rarely feel safe enough to relax.

The brain and body become a single system in response to a threat in order to survive. Made up of several different systems, they become a unified system for the sole purpose of survival.

The nervous system is a rapid communication system between the brain and the body. It is the primary system for survival, designed to keep this machine we call, our body, alive.

It is the system that allows for quick responses to help us survive against any threats that come our way. It has 2 ways to respond to threats.

It can respond in an active way for survival by fighting or running away (sympathetic). The nervous system is also able to respond to an overwhelming threat by becoming passive or by freezing (dorsal vagal/parasympathetic).

It acts on instinct and subconscious wired pathways to know what to do.

The way each person’s brain and body responds to a threat depends not only on the threat. In large part, it also depends on the resources available to the system, internal and external resources.

One may not be able to effectively manage as much stress as someone else, because one’s internal resources may be less balanced than another’s. An event may be stressful to one person, but traumatic with chronic PTSD for another person because of their biology and genetics.

The body needs to be well-resourced and have all of its biological needs fully met. Then, the nervous system is optimized for neuroplasticity and reorganization of trauma patterns in the nervous system can happen. Then we can help the nervous system shift to an overall parasympathetic state rather than sympathetic or dorsal vagal state.

It is not until all our basic needs for survival and security are met that we can search for deeper meaning and purpose.

I offer many easy and practical solutions to strengthening the nervous system as well as looking at maturity of the development of your brain.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Traditional Chinese medicine is one of the oldest healing systems, it includes herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, massage, food therapy, and physical exercise. TCM is a fully institutionalised part of Chinese health care and widely used with Western medicine.

Like a network of rivers nourishing a landscape, the meridians are the channels through which qi flows, to nourish and energize the human body. These channels exist within the subtle body. Though they may have a correspondence to the physical nervous system, you won’t find the meridians on the operating table.

Collectively, the meridians form the matrix within which the physical body functions. They also act as a network of communication between the physical and the more subtle energetic bodies.

There are twelve main meridians in the body, each associated with a particular element and Chinese medicine organ system. Along the path of the meridians, there are certain places where the energy pools, making the qi of the meridian more accessible there than at other places. These pools of energy are called acupuncture points and they each have a specific function.

When symptoms arises such as physical/emotional pain, discomfort or any dis-ease, it is because a blockage has occurred within the energy flow of the person and there can be many reasons for this, such as environmental, physical or emotional stress.

I use many modalities working on these acupuncture points to clear the blockages and imbalances, guiding the body to its natural flow.

Bio-resonance frequency therapy

The principle behind Bio-resonance is the principle Einstein has found more than 100 years ago – that matter is actually energy frequency, in which the frequency (or speed) of it is so low that it is not perceivable by the physical senses.

Every cell in the body vibrates at a particular frequency. Groups of cells in an organ or system have multiple vibrational frequency patterns which are unique and harmonious with the bigger system which is the whole body. While some frequencies are health supporting, others are detrimental to our health. Frequencies that are dissonant with us cause us to be out of balance, whereas frequencies that are resonant with us bring us back to balance.

To take a simple example of Bio-resonance at work, found in nature – think of the sunlight; some frequencies will warm you up, other frequencies will tan your skin and some make a beautiful rainbow. Life on earth is based on frequencies.

I use a Bio-resonance device to detect dis-harmony in the field, this can relate to hidden food sensitivities, heavy metal toxicities or detection and clearing of parasites, viruses, mould and other pathogenic factors.

Food and nutrition

Nutritional deficiency is a major cause of dis-ease and ill health, even in the Western world. The majority of people consume a considerable amount of processed food, as a result, nutritional deficiencies are inevitable.

Research proves that common epidemic diseases are directly due to nutritional deficiencies and dietary imbalances play a greater role than any other factor in the cause of ill health.

Hidden food sensitivities are also rising amongst the population and this can stem from a weakened immune system caused by toxins, lifestyle or genetics.

I am passionate about food and the use of foods as medicine, having been gluten-free since 2012 and dairy free my whole life, I am well-versed in cooking and baking without these highly allergenic ingredients.

I offer support, guidance and teachings around foods and nutritional deficiencies and hidden food sensitivities/allergies.

Natal care

After the birth of my first child in 2010, I realised that I was not prepared at all for what pregnancy, childbirth and parenthood brought. Although I had been lucky enough to have a water birth at home, it was a struggle the coming months.

As a result I became passionate about natal care and created a program that will empower and prepare for parenthood, something I wished I had had when I expected my first child.

This is for parents hoping to experience an empowered birth and wanting to learn more about the process. Anyone who fears pregnancy and birth, or simply need help directly after birth.
