Consultations

Health and well-being depend on many factors. When a person is not feeling well, there is usually more than one reason for this, for example emotional stress combined with nutrient deficiencies, therefore the main aim is to determine:

* the cause(s) of the problem
* how best to deal with the cause(s)
* what the best treatment modalities are to help the body heal in the best way
   
possible
* where to start

I use Kinesiology as a biofeedback tool to help identify the cause(s) of the imbalances, problems or issues. I also use Kinesiology to determine how best to deal with these cause(s) so that the body can be brought back into balance  We then proceed with the priority treatment modality. A treatment can be a Kinesiology balance, a change in diet and/or lifestyle, nutritional supplements, (heavy metal) detoxification, homoeopathy or a herbal tonic.

Consultations can be any length of time from half an hour to 5 hours, depending on how many issues the person wants to address. Some people want to take their healing one step at the time and prefer short consultations (up to one hour). In short consultations we concentrate on one thing at the time, for example diet one week, herbs the next. Others want to do everything they can and as soon as possible by addressing all the factors that contributed to the health issue (see Health and Nutrition
information booklets). These factors can be: stress, emotions, diet, environmental factors, detoxification pathways, the digestive system, nutritional deficiencies and lifestyle. Sometimes it is best to tackle them all at once because you won’t see results until all pieces of the puzzle have been found. Other times especially with emotional issues, one issue at the time works best as it gives the body a chance to recover before the next issue is addressed.

Consultations are claimable from most private health funds under Naturopathy, Herbal medicine, Homoeopathy or Kinesiology depending on your cover and the individual heath fund. If you have Private Health insurance with Health Partners you may be able to claim on 3 modalities for one consult on one day as I will always use these modalities in every consult and they have higher rebates for long consults as well.
