A woman’s hormonal system is highly sensitive to her physical, emotional and spiritual environment. Factors such as stress, environmental pollutants, alcohol and poor quality diets can have a potent effect on hormone balance.The body’s hormones are interrelated, each performing a unique biological function which controls bone density, weight, mood, metabolism, reproduction and cognitive function. When hormones are disrupted and deviate from their natural rhythms and cycles they may cause ill health and disease in one or all of those areas. Disturbed hormone metabolism has been associated with a wide range of complaints including:
Throughout a woman’s life, the flow of hormonal changes from day to day and year to year will dictate her quality of life. The proper levels and amounts of various hormones are the foundation of optimal female health. Female hormone imbalance is a direct result of poor nutrient food intake, poor diet choices, chronic stress, a lack of physical activity and an accumulation of toxic substances that enter our body everyday. A dietary and Lifestyle approach has its basis in understanding that a woman’s health is a reflection of her environment. By looking at the whole person and her unique story, hormonal issues can be treated effectively.

Reflexology
Reflexology is a therapeutic method of improving health by stimulating predefined pressure points on the feet and hands. This controlled pressure alleviates the source of the discomfort. In the absence of any particular illness or abnormality, reflexology may be as effective for promoting good health and for preventing illness as it may be for relieving symptoms of stress, injury, and illness.
Reflexologists work from maps of predefined pressure points that are located on the hands and feet. These pressure points are reputed to connect directly through the nervous system and affect the bodily organs and glands. The reflexologist manipulates the pressure points according to specific techniques of reflexology therapy. By means of this touching therapy, any part of the body that is the source of pain, illness, or potential debility can be strengthened through the application of pressure at the respective foot or hand location.
I offer various forms of Reflexology practice, including: Classic Foot and Hand Reflexology, Vertical Reflex Therapy (VRT), Nerve Reflexology and Maternity Reflexology.
Nutritional Therapy
The foods that we consume play more of a role in our health than perhaps anything else. The saying, “you are what you eat”, is very true and good nutrition leads to a healthy body and a sound mind.
Nutrition is the science that establishes the relationship between a person’s diet and their levels of health. As a fully qualified nutritional therapist I can advise you on dietary and nutrition matters relating to your health. Following a good diet can have an incredible effect on your quality of life and hence Nutrition is one of the most important things to consider in your life.
