TREATMENT FAQ

A Holistic Therapy is a therapy..... "which uses an approach to patient care in which the physical, mental and social factors in the patient's condition are taken into account, rather than just the diagnosed disease." Oxford Concise Medical Dictionary.

Holistic therapies deal with the 'whole' person. They treat the body as a whole and integrated system, not a collection of isolated parts. Medicine can only truly be holistic if it acknowledges the social and cultural context in which the 'illness' and the desired healing take place. It therefore needs to look at the patterns of thought, behaviour, work and culture that were the sources of the 'disease' in the first place. Emphasis is placed on helping people to understand and to take responsibility for themselves, on prevention of disease and promotion of a healthy lifestyle. The person who is ill is also the healer. Aid can be sought from 'experts' but the responsibility for healing and health lies within the person who wants to be well.

There are lots of wonderful benefits to having a holistic treatment, and of course it depends on the treatment you choose. However, these are just some of the benefits you may receive:

Improved blood circulation and lymphatic drainage
Stimulation of immune system, nervous system and toxin elimination
Reduced stress, tension and anxiety
Increased relaxation and energy levels
Increased confidence, self-esteem and self-worth
A sense of tranquillity, calmness and positive well being
Greater creativity, clarity of thought and concentration
Balance of mind, body and soul
In addition, depending on the treatment you have received you may also benefit from the following:
Improved skin, muscle tone, metabolism, digestive system
Reduction in muscle fatigue, stiffness, sports injuries, fluid retention, arthritis, hormonal problems, blood pressure
Relief from headaches, insomnia, ear, eye and nose conditions, coughs/ colds

At your first appointment, we will run through your pre-completed HEALTH QUESTIONNAIRE before we start the treatment. This will allow me to understand a little more about you, your current health situation and what you would like to achieve from your treatment/s. The more information you can give me, the better I can tailor the treatment to your individual needs. Please be assured everything we discuss is confidential.

If you have any health conditions you think may affect your treatment, please mention this when making your booking. In some cases, a doctors’ referral note may be required; in some cases, it might be possible to adapt your treatment; in other cases, it might be necessary to recommend an alternative treatment. However, it may not affect your treatment at all. In particular, please advise if you are: pregnant or lactating; have an injury, allergy or infectious disease; are taking medication; have recently had surgery, stroke, heart attack; have a history of thrombosis, embolism or phlebitis; have cancer, diabetes, high/low blood pressure, arthritis, paralysis, epilepsy, haemophilia or an undiagnosed condition. If you think you may need medication, for conditions such as asthma, angina or diabetes before, during or after your treatment, please remember to bring these with you. If you have experienced a reaction after a previous treatment, please let me know.

The 'Healing Response' is a where you might feel slightly worse before feeling better, after receiving your treatment. For example, you may feel achy or tired, get a headache, feel nauseous or thirsty, experience a little dizziness, have hot & cold flushes, feel emotional, have a runny nose, experience more frequent urination or break out in spots. This is part of the detoxification process whilst your body is rebalancing and cleansing itself and it is perfectly normal for these symptoms to last up to 3 days. However, because we are all different, you may or may not experience this. To reduce the likelihood of feeling such symptoms, please follow the 24-hr after care advice below.

For 24-hrs after your treatment please remember to:

Drink plenty of water or herbal teas
Rest or sleep if necessary
Eat light meals
Keep caffeine, tea, fizzy drinks, alcohol, smoking to a minimum
Do not carry heavy bags or loads
Avoid stressful situations and long-distance driving
