 The Foxburgh Wellness Centre

From my extensive experience, I specialise my practice in the following therapies for a more holistic and rounded aspect of treatment.

It all starts with an initial consultation, during which I will go through a detailed medical questionnaire, examine the irides of the eyes, take a blood-pressure reading and pulse.

Iridology:

Is an important analytical tool, as every part of the body is represented in the eye: the pupil, the iris and the sclera.

 

Remedial Massage:

Through my work, I noticed that more spinal deformities such as Scoliosis or Kyphosis are causing a myriad of health problems. Although, ultimately, there may be a need for surgical intervention in severe cases, an incredible amount can be done before. 

As I am always searching for ways to improve my patient's problems, I came across the 3-dimensional physiotherapy scoliosis treatment according to Katharina Schroth. I trained at the world-renowned Asklepios Katharina-Schroth-Klinik in Germany. The treatment is a combination of remedial massage, breathing exercises and a specially designed exercise programme. The results are simply amazing. I am happy to have been accepted on their register of qualified therapists working with and being recommended by the clinic.

Further massage treatments available:

Lymphatic drainage, Thai-Style massage, Indian-Head, Pre- & Post-Natal and Baby massage (which can be a gift for life for the baby and a boost against post-natal depression for the mother).

 

Homoeopathy, Herbalism and Aromatherapy:

Of course, a wide range of these medicines and oils will always be an integral part of the treatments.

 

Colour Therapy:

This is another therapy which I find helpful. As the whole world, including humans, consists of vibrations, it is only natural that, if there is an imbalance, things - health - goes wrong. Certain colours have specific vibrations and thus these can “repair” the imbalances.

 

Reflexology is based on the principle that every part of the body is connected by energy pathways which end in specific reflex areas on the feet and hands. By working on these reflexes in a precise and systematic manner, the therapist stimulates the body's own natural healing abilities to restore balance and good health.

 

HealthPoint needle-less electro-acupuncture and micro-current stimulation can help with many health problems and pain relief, but can only be used with other treatments, such as remedial massage, reflexology, etc.

Dorn Method is a gentle vertabra and joint treatment, akin to chiropractic and osteopathy.  It has been around on the Continent for some 30 years and is completely safe and effective.  The treatment includes a massage either before or after treatment, self-help exercises

The following treatments may also be beneficial (please ask for further details):

Traction table, Orthotics, Fra Infra-red Aqua Detox, Aqua-Detox, and Fra Infrared Sauna.

The Swim-Spa

 

Yoga:

These classes - on a one-to-one basis or in a group, are a welcome link between the practice and wellness aspects of my work. The latter is especially appreciated by our Bed &Breakfast guests (see the B&B brochure). Although one does not have to stay in order to receive treatments, it can be of special benefit for those coming for the scoliosis treatment programme.

Hatha Yoga, is a major branch of yoga, which was developed by Goraksha and other adepts c.1000 CE. It emphasises the physical aspects of the transformative path, notably through postures (asana) and cleansing techniques (shodhana), but always with breath control (pranayama).  Please ask about one-to-one sessions or classes.

 

Please note:

With all these treatments, it should be borne in mind that only a course of treatments will bring long-term relief or improvements. Also, as with all holistic treatments, symptoms can get worse before they get better. However, even a single treatment can create a feeling of well-being and be of benefit.

 

It is not advisable to have a massage treatment, if you are on anti-biotics. Please ask before making an appointment. May I also advise not to eat approx. 1 hour before treatments. Please bring any X-rays or scans relating to your condition with you if you have them. If you wear contact lenses please bring your glasses with you for the initial consultation.

My Qualifications:

I am Police checked, fully qualified through the International Therapy Education Council (I.T.E.C.) and the Asklepios Katharina-Schroth-Klinik, and a member of the Guild of Naturopathic Iridologists (International) as well as a qualified Yoga teacher.
