The Clinic's philosophy is that all therapists work together bringing their education and experience, however, it is their personal energy, how they relate to people, and how they feel about the healing process that are of greatest importance. The primary role of a therapist is to be a facilitator of healing; ultimately people heal themselves.

If you aren't sure which therapy would be best for you, call or visit the Clinic for information. Try a technique with which you feel comfortable. Finding the best therapy for you may be a matter of trial and error, but it will be well worth the effort. All therapies work towards the same goal - maximizing your physical and mental potential and gaining a greater sense of focus and well-being. 

Wellness Considerations

 Take a look at our outside environment

Soil demineralization:

In the last decade or two the mineral content in the soil has been greatly depleted. Farmers no longer allow the soil time to replenish its minerals. This leads to diminished nutrients in our food, so that even with a seemingly healthy diet it is impossible to be sure that you are receiving the desired and expected nutrients from your food. Also the manipulation of our food at the genetic level, has produced foods that are bigger and tougher for travel, but have been depleted in nutrients.

Pollution:

Air pollution, pesticides and industrial pollution contaminating the water all end up on your dinner table with your food.

Higher stress:

Excessive stress can lead to digestive tract disorders and malabsorption of our food. If you cannot digest what you eat, you are not actually getting any of the nutritional benefit from your food. There are supplements which can help repair the digestive system.

Chemicals, additives, colouring and preservatives:

These can be largely eliminated from your diet by eating organically.

Look at our inner environment 

An overall increase in degenerative diseases

    * Heart
    * Cancer
    * Arthritis
    * Alzheimer's
    * HIV/AIDS
    * Chronic fatigue syndrome

And many others. Some common complaints:

    * Low energy
    * Overweight
    * Indigestion
    * Headaches
    * Allergies
    * Depression
    * Mood swings
    * Lack of mental clarity
    * Colds/Flu
    * Eating disorders

We need over 100 nutrients on a daily basis:

    * 12 Essential Amino Acids
    * 16 Vitamins
    * 70+ Minerals, three minerals and rare earth's Essential Fatty acids
    * and a good supply of friendly flora

Stress relief is an essential part of overall fitness and wellness. And there can be no doubt that "solice comes through repose". However, in a hectic fast paced lifestyle we sometimes need a more dynamic means or a variety of means to reduce and eliminate our high levels of stress.
