Holistic health is fast gaining popularity as it emphasises the need to look at the whole person, including analysis of physical, nutritional, environmental, emotional, social, spiritual and lifestyle values.

Nutritional therapy uses dietary changes, supplements (vitamins, minerals, herbs) and lifestyle changes to help people reach their health goals. This could be for losing weight, sports optimisation or for a specific health problem. Nutritional changes can make an enormous difference to everyday symptoms such as tiredness, bloating, hormone problems, low immunity, etc. Reiki is a non-invasive therapy which gently produces a favourable change in physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing by channelling energy. During a treatment you remain fully clothed and are made comfortable on a couch. The practitioner lightly places their hands on or near your body to allow healing energy to flow into you.
Reiki is particularly effective for stress relief. Life Coaching helps you move forward towards whatever future you want to create for yourself. If you want to be more spiritually in tune, realise your true potential or focus on those things which are really important to you, life coaching can help. It asks you to imagine you ideal life and encourages you to make realistic steps towards achieving your goals.

Reflexology can be used to help restore and maintain the body’s natural equilibrium. This gentle therapy encourages the body to work naturally to restore its own healthy balance. During treatment a practitioner will use their hands to apply pressure to the feet to detect subtle changes in specific points on the feet, and by working on these points may affect the corresponding organ or system of the body.

Meditating for 30 minutes a day aids spiritual development and helps us to lead a more guided life. It allows us to take control of circumstances and regain mental balance. Meditation can be done anywhere – the essential thing is that you do it. For those new to meditation, you may find it useful to use a guided meditation CD.

Tai Chi is meditation in movement. Through Tai Chi your mind becomes calm and devoid of eagerness and your thought processes become instinctive. The power of Tai Chi isn’t derived by physical force; it arises from an understanding of how the body should move, so we can join with our own energy and with others.

Aromatherapy can help induce a state of deep relaxation and thereby help you achieve inner harmony and reconnect with you spiritual side. This state of peace is achieved through the use of powerful scented oils which are both inhaled through the nose and absorbed through the skin. Different scents can evoke different feelings. During hypnotherapy the practitioner takes you through states of relaxation to where your unconscious mind is more receptive. You are aware at all times during the session and by relaxing and diverting the conscious mind, you are able to send messages direct to the unconscious mind where actions are pure and with the highest intention. Hypnotherapy is very effective with smoking cessation, weight management and removing fears.
