NATUROPATHY
“Finding our potential for health”
Naturopathy is a philosophy of healthcare opening doors of opportunity and shining a light on some dark corners!
Naturopathy does not treat disease; it is about finding the courage to embrace sustainable changes in lifestyle and perceptions. Naturopathy awakens and nurtures the potential for health by facilitating changes toward a more appropriate and fulfilling lifestyle.
Naturopathy has a set of simple, but reliable and effective tools for helping a person to better nurture themselves. Primarily, the therapeutic relationship between practitioner and patient, modifications of eating habits and diet, encouragement of a non-sedentary lifestyle and regular bodywork treatments.
FOOD AS MEDICINE
Food has a more powerful impact on our bodies than any drug and good food is one of the great pleasures of life.
The food you choose to eat on a daily basis has the ability to nourish and build healthy tissue and to protect tissues and organs from damage. No other single factor in our lives has such an impact. How we eat. How much we eat. When we eat. What we eat.
The word ‘diet’ means ‘the structuring of life’ reflecting the vital importance of eating habits.
Why not make your diet work for you?
Why not learn to use the food you eat every day to enhance the quality of your health?
Are you ready to accept the challenge of letting go your long-held habits and perceptions relating to the emotive subject of ‘diet’ and ‘food’?
Be Warned! Once you begin to eat more appropriately for your body’s needs, everything else in your life will start to change also. What an opportunity! But, don’t panic, if major dietary change is too overwhelming for you to entertain at this time, then regular bodywork treatments are a pleasurable way to ease yourself into the world of naturopathy.
BODYWORK
Introducing the Naturopathic Body Adjustment - the “jewel in the crown” of naturopathic treatment. Non-manipulative and relaxing, but powerful and far-reaching in its therapeutic effect, improving digestion and circulation, helping to regulate hormones, increasing the flow of energy and life-giving substances throughout the body. It is a gentle and rhythmic treatment which allows your body to relax into easier patterns of movement. There is no need to undress and no oils are used.
ENERGY MEDICINE
Working with the Blueprint for Health – CranioSacral Therapy and Radionics.
“The essential blueprint for health is a deep and unwavering ordering principle - it is present at the very beginning of life as the cells of the embryo begin to form. This same embryological imperative continues throughout life, intrinsic rhythms continuously deliver order into the fluids and thus into each cell of the body. The various tissue and fluid systems of the body form around this essential blueprint and are maintained by it. As long as there is life, the ordering principle is never lost.”
“CST is an approach to healing, which involves listening with the fingers to the body’s rhythms and determining where and how they are out of balance. However, the main intention of treatment is to find, support and facilitate expressions of health. Not limiting our attention to what is wrong but identifying and supporting what works. Finding the health in the patient...”
From “Wisdom in the Body” by Michael Kern
Radionics or the ‘Black Box’ is a unique healing modality – a system of diagnosis and treatment of the subtle energy fields which sustain and vitalise us, thus helping us to release our own inner capacities for self-healing.
The aim of CranioSacral Therapy and Radionics is to facilitate the expression of the original blueprint in tissues which have become disordered and dis-eased.
Other aspects of energy medicine may also be utilised including flower essences, homotoxicology and Thought Field Therapy.
HEALING HOLIDAYS
Come to the magical island of Crete and be seduced by ’the land of the lotus eaters ‘. Walking in magnificent landscapes, lovely food, with optional yoga and swimming. A chance to discuss your health issues in relaxed surroundings and enjoy daily treatments. In conjunction with West Crete Holidays - www. westcreteholidays.com
BENEFITS
Marion works with knowledge and skill, delivered with warmth, discretion and humour, encouraging you toward a naturopathic lifestyle which, if wholeheartedly embraced and applied with consistency, patience and persistence will show many of the following benefits
“Light at the end of the tunnel” for those with chronic, often unexplained, symptoms that have destroyed quality of life.
Energy and stamina.
Calmness, focus and clarity.
Improved digestive health.
Balanced hormones.
Flexibility – back and neck problems often resolve.
Release of jaw tension.
Ability to identify stress triggers.
Improved ability to cope with stress.
Improved resistance to infection and allergies.
Improved ability to control pain and inflammation.
Regulation of appetite and weight.
Enjoyment of food without guilt.
Ability to identify and grasp opportunities.
Authenticity – a clearer understanding of what is meaningful in your life.
Autonomy – shaping our life around what is valued.
Acceptance – greater toleration of your own weaknesses and those of others.
Achieving an autonomous, accepting relationship to the world may free the body’s defences to oppose dis-ease more effectively.
If all this sounds too good to be true, please remember that for both naturopaths and their patients the main quality required is, indeed, patience. Health which is often lost slowly over many decades cannot necessarily be quickly recovered. The required changes in lifestyle often need to be slow if they are to be sustained.
So, don’t delay, start today, the easy way – make an appointment for a free 20 minute bodywork session and discover what naturopathy has to offer you.
Marion Kirkham ND has been in practice for twenty years and is co-director of the London College of Naturopathic Medicine and Health Science (LCNM) – www.lcnm.co.uk
The Blueprint for Health
“ The essential blueprint for health is a deep and unwavering ordering principle – it is present at the very beginning of life as the cells of the embryo begin to form. This same embryological imperative continues throughout life, intrinsic rhythms continuously deliver order into the fluids and thus into each cell of the body. The various tissue and fluid systems of the body form around this essential blueprint and are maintained by it. As long as there is life, the ordering principle is never lost.” Michael Kern
“In healing work, this is a critical point to understand. No matter how desperate the situation, the information of the whole, its inherent ordering principle, or blueprint, is still available. “Franklin Sills
The aim of CranioSacral therapy and radionics is to facilitate the expression of the original blueprint in tissues which have become disordered and affected by pathology. Thus CST and radionics may also be helpful for those with terminal illness, although they should not be used as a substitute for conventional medicine.
Working with the Blueprint – CranioSacral therapy and Radionics
“ CranioSacral treatment is very gentle and non-invasive, encouraging the body’s own self-healing and self-regulating capabilities. Every cell in your body expresses subtle rhythms. These are of vital importance for health, producing a harmony of body and mind. Physical knocks or emotional stress can disrupt these natural rhythms and lead to ill health. CST is an approach to healing, which involves listening with the fingers to the body’s rhythms and determining where and how they are out of balance. However, the main intention of treatment is to find, support and facilitate expressions of health. Not limiting our attention to what is wrong but identifying and supporting what works. Finding the health in the patient gives the practitioner some deep-acting and tangible resources to work with.”
