Acupressure
An alternative medicine technique similar in principle to acupuncture. It is based on the concept of life energy which flows through "meridians" in the body. In treatment, physical pressure is applied to acupuncture points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians. Please refer to Fen Gerry or Leisa De burca for more info.
Acupuncture
A form of alternative medicine in which thin needles are inserted into the body. Acupuncture is a key component of traditional Chinese medicine. Please refer to Jenny Westwood for more info.
Allergy Therapy
This is a simple safe procedure using muscle testing (applied kinesiology) to test for food sensitivities. The procedure is to look at foods first, to heal the digestive system by eliminating those challenging foods and by giving supplements to improve the biochemistry of the environment and also repair the structure of the gut. Please refer to Jo Hofman for more info.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy uses the volatile aromatic plant essences, known as essential oils, to treat ill-health and help maintain good health and wellbeing. Please refer to Fen Gerry for more info.

Medical Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a system of medicine which uses potentised remedies, individually selected for each patient and following a principle known as 'like cures like'. It can be used by anybody including babies, children and pregnant or breastfeeding women. Homeopathy does not interfere with conventional medicine, and both can work very well alongside each other. Please refer to Elfie Klinger for more info.

Solution-focused Hypnotherapy
A powerful combination of Psychotherapy and Hypnosis.
