Insomnia

Insomnia

If you've been experiencing difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early, you might be dealing with insomnia.

Melatonin addresses 60% of your body's repair system at night when you are asleep, in the same way Serotonin wakes you up in the morning with its feelgood energy. The causes can be many including under-active thyroid, adrenal burn-out, multiple chemical sensitivities and stress can be the underlying cause for all these symptoms.

You may be well aware of the reason why you're not sleeping. There are some factors however that aren't as obvious as work-stress, moving house, menopause; if you have experienced insomnia since moving house, it may be that something is affecting you in connection with the placement of your bed or the new house itself. I offer energetic house surveys to follow-up on any concerns you might have.

Kinesiology treatments are designed to help you balance your body's biochemistry and address sleep-related issues, such as insomnia.

They can also ascertain whether your house is affecting you and provide solutions. This may include the effect of EMF's on you, from electricity, microwaves and radiation.

By working together, we can identify the underlying causes and triggers of your sleep problems and develop a personalised plan to promote better sleep.

Please feel free to share any concerns or experiences you have related to insomnia. My aim is to assist you on your journey towards a more restful and balanced sleep pattern.

Massage and Bodywork

“The de-stress scalp and neck massage was the most magical treatment. Total relaxation induced by the skillful hands of an expert practitioner. I’ve had many treatments on many continents. This was the best.” F Lynne

The more stressful your life, the more you need the uplifting experience of a massage, facial or energy balance.

Gut healing

Heal, restore and promote wellbeing

Improvement and recovery can be supported through the Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS) gut healing nutritional protocol benefitting very small children to adults, and the effects of gut dysbiosis are far-reaching. An unhealthy gut can cause a myriad of problems because 90% of all cells and genetic material in the human body is gut flora - a complex mass of microbes residing in your digestive system.

In a healthy person these are dominated by beneficial microbes in harmony with your body, making sure you are well-nourished, protected from pathogens and toxins with a healthy immune system.

In a GAPS person the gut flora is dominated by pathogenic microbes causing multiple health problems.

Kinesiology

Feel good from the inside out

I usually don’t need reminding if I’ve been behaving badly. I know I need some help, and it can really put my life in perspective again!

I can be full of blame or shame and guilt, isolation or fear about my bad behavoir, or how I was treated. A big one as you get older, is how stupid you can feel around technology, or the clumsiness of menopause. It may be that we need to revisit painful trauma, childhood experiences or habitual patterns of behavoir. I use Health Kinesiology which uses muscle testing to ask the body what it needs to rebalance itself; it can balance your emotions and take the charge out of them, has ways to support your immune system and can find individual biochemical pathways that can make a huge difference.

Some of this may be connected to your physical organs and the story you're telling yourself diminishes considerably once I work on them. This is how I connect your issues with Chinese medicine (TCM); each organ is associated in TCM with a taste, a sound, an emotion and a season.

An injury or illness can make you feel less confident and a bit silly; you are in good company. The patterns in our lives can shape us or make us; luckily once we get to face them, they have a habit of becoming easier.
