Holistic Medicine addresses the whole person, looking at health issues on as many levels as possible, with the aim of returning complete balance, rather than simply removing surface symptoms.

Good nutrition,  herbal medicine,  and flower essences,  support the physical body,  and help to balance emotional & mental states,  providing complementary therapy to the alternative healing methods I use to address your energy balance.
Looking at the ‘big picture’ in this way,  I aim to help you reach a place of greater well-being, empowerment and joy.

As a herbalist,  I place great importance on the use of herbal extracts,  vibrational essences and nutritional healing,  to relieve symptoms and create new healthy functional patterns within the body.  
This provides you with the relief and comfort you need to be able to enjoy your body,  and your life,  once again,  while continuing to address the deeper causes.

Less is More

When I prescribe herbal medicine, essences or nutritional supplements,  I go by the belief that ‘Less is More’.
My intention is to help ‘re-educate the body’,  allowing it to transform out-of-balance processes,  by supplying it with trigger doses and the necessary resources.
This gives the body what it needs to take control of the unbalanced situation again and restore its own natural order.

I aim to empower the body to be able to take care of itself, in the same way that I do with you, as a client, rather than re-inforcing an energy of helplessness by giving the body a lot of things which will ‘take over’ and do its job for it.

This means, in most cases …
...   Prescribing herbsl remedies in smaller doses over a longer period of time
...   Nutritional guidance,  with greater encouragement toward changing dietary patterns and eating habits,  rather than relying on large amounts of nutritional supplements
...   A leaning towards more homeopathic and vibrational substances which will not interfere with any medications you may be taking,  and which you can later safely self-prescribe,  as you learn more,  without needing to rely on a practitioner for every little issue

In the past, I have also tried the ‘more is more’ and ‘let’s get instant results’ approaches but, over the years,  I have found that going more slowly and gently over a longer period is much more effective in bringing about permanent improvement in the long term.
