Kid’s Health

Jan has been advising parents about their children’s health for over 20 years. She takes the time to find out exactly what is needed to bring a child to their optimal health and maintain it. Jan offers practical advice and works with parents to create an individual program for each child. This may involve herbal remedies, nutritional supplements or homoeopathics.

Women’s Business

Naturopathy has successfully been used to treat a wide range of problems which affect women. Hormonal problems such as PMS, period problems and menopause all respond well to herbal treatment and dietary changes. Jan provides care for couples wishing to conceive and delights in continuing her care through pregnancy and birth.

Hypnosis for Childbirth

Jan offers hypnosis for childbirth classes to couples to help eliminate the fear which many women experience during pregnancy and childbirth. Couples learn to use relaxation, breathing and visualisation techniques to create their own positive birth experience. Jan completed Calmbirth® practitioner training in 2007.

Wellness Living

There is no need to live your life putting up with nagging health issues such as sinus and hayfever, digestive and bowel problems, headaches, poor sleep and allergies. Simple naturopathic remedies can help correct underlying imbalances to calm annoying symptoms, improve energy and create optimum vitality.

Positive Changes

Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool which can help to change unwanted patterns of behaviour and achieve positive goals. With hypnotherapy it is possible to create a sustained calmness and peace of mind. Determination, resilience and optimism can be increased. Hypnosis is safe, relaxing and completely natural. Under hypnosis, concentrated focus and imagination are used in a deep state of relaxation to positively change behaviours and beliefs. Hypnotherapy can help in the management of anxiety, insomnia, fears, lack of confidence, weight management and becoming smoke free.
