I often integrate the use of other therapies within a treatment, such as aromatherapy, iridology and nutritional advice to support the treatment given. The needs of my clients are my interest and priority. If I feel that another treatment would be more beneficial to their progress then I will make appropriate suggestions ie. osteopathy, homeopathy, counselling, conventional medicine.

Thermo Auricular Therapy (Ear Candle Treatment)
Ear candles have been used by many cultures for thousands of years. It is an ancient therapy that has been re-established and used by many therapists today.
The benefits of using ear candles to assist health have been recognised for over 15 years and confirmed by the experience of doctors, naturopaths and therapists worldwide.
Thermo auricular therapy is very suitable for all ages including children.
What Happens During A Treatment?
A consultation takes place at the beginning of the treatment session during which details relating to the clients health and lifestyle are taken. This is to ensure the suitability of the treatment.
During the treatment the client will lie on one side, supported by a pillow and covered with a blanket for warmth and comfort. The therapist will then check the ear canal using an otoscope before placing the ear candle into the entrance of the ear. The candle is lit and a very gentle sensation of warmth in the ear region can be felt. The therapist holds the candle throughout the entire treatment and the same process is then repeated to the other ear. The ear passage will then be checked again at the end of the treatment.
The Benefits Of Thermo Auricular Therapy
Thermo auricular therapy can be used to benefit many conditions, particularly those that affect the head region. For instance, colds, flu, migraines, sore throat, rhinitis, catarrh, mild hearing difficulties and glue ear.
When the candles are lit they create a light suction action that can help to balance the pressure in the ears, forehead and sinuses. This can help to ease headaches, sinus congestion, dizziness and ear noise.
Following a treatment, clients often report a feeling of clearing and release of pressure in the head region.
The candles are impregnated with herbs known for their soothing and calming properties. This can help to reduce irritation in the ear. The aromatic essences of the herbs can help to create a wonderful sense of calm, comfort and deep relaxation.
The combination of lying down with the warmth and calm induced by the candles offers a very pleasant a very pleasant and enjoyable treatment.

Iridology
What Is Iridology?Iridology is the observation and interpretation of the markings and colours of the iris. An iridologist uses this information to assess a persons' health and possible future predispositions and establish a suitable course of treatment to help guide the client towards better health.
What Can It Detect Regarding Health?
Iridology is not a diagnosis of disease but reveals the condition of every part and organ of the body.
The iris mirrors tissue changes and the level of health of the body. It also reveals body constitution, strengths, weaknesses, inherent weaknesses, emotional condition, personality traits, drug toxicity, congestion, inflammation, acidity and injury.
How Was Iridology Discovered?
The roots of iridology lie within the orthodox practice of medicine. A Hungarian physician called Dr Ignats Von Peczely, in the early 1800's, discovered the reflex relationship between the iris and the body.
When Ignats Von Peczely was 10 years old, he had caught an owl, and whilst struggling with the bird, he broke one of its legs. He noticed a black mark appear in the iris of the owl. Ignats Von Peczely kept the bird as a pet and helped nurse the owl's leg back to health. During its healing process he observed that the black mark had become overdrawn with a white film and was surrounded by white fibres. This change in the iris interested Ignats and he remembered this incident as he trained later in his life to be a Doctor.
Ignats Von Peczely worked as an internee at the college hospital where he observed the eyes of patients before and after surgery and following accidents. He gradually composed a chart of the iris relating to the body.
Many scientists and doctors have contributed to this science with their discoveries and much research is still being carried out today.
How Does It Work?
A well defined area in the iris represents each area of the body. The iris is connected to every organ and tissue of the body via the brain and nervous system. The nerve fibres of the iris receive their impulses from the optic nerve, optic thalami, and spinal cord. These fibres respond to changing conditions in the body tissues, manifesting this information in the iris with certain signs and colour pigments in the corresponding location.
What Happens During An Iridology Session?
A consultation will be taken regarding your health and lifestyle details, to ensure the suitability of the treatment. You will then be seated comfortably in an upright chair. A specialised hand held magnifying torch with an inbuilt light will then be used to observe specific areas of the iris. The length of this procedure can vary depending on the area of health that is being assessed by the iridologist. At the end of the treatment a summary with recommendations relating the findings will then be discussed with you. These often include dietary or lifestyle changes.
Nutrition
Our diet is one of the basic foundations of our health, alongside our lifestyle and our mental and emotional wellbeing.With a healthy and balanced diet supplying a good level of nutrients, a better level of health can then be maintained.
As part of my treatment advice if necessary I will include natural and simple suggestions specific to the clients needs, which may help to support their progress.
