Healing does not simply mean the elimination of disease – that is what we call a cure.

Healing has a more exalted meaning than that – healing happens when one releases conditions that have produced harmful tendencies or patterns, whether those tendencies have led to frank disease or not. Thus, healing can occur even before there is disease. When disease has occurred it will be eliminated when the release of these conditions happens early enough for the body to recover. One who is healed has the ability to remain relaxed and peaceful in the face of difficulties and has the flexibility to adapt to changing and difficult conditions in an appropriate healthful way.

Life in the modern day world is not what life once was.

Humans have become savagely divorced from their true spirit and the natural flow of life, which we see and experience in the current epidemics of fatigue, depression/anxiety, stress, cancer and autoimmune disease. As our lives and environment become increasing unstable, our qi, yin, yang and essence (life force) reflect this extreme imbalance; our health and well-being are the things we sacrifice.

Yang energy – the assertive, strong masculine force that enables us to survive and thrive has become overly aggressive, which we see reflected in the increasing rates of conditions such as depression, stress, heart disease and headaches.

Yin energy – the dark, moist, receptive feminine quality which enables us to find the still point or nucleus of life. Yin energy is grossly deficient in our ever ready society which keeps us constantly striving and stimulated (yang qualities)…..consequently we are unable to cool down, rest, regenerate, sleep and heal – all of which are essential elements for a healthy,balanced body and life. Increasing rates of burn out and adrenal fatigue reflect our modern, fast-paced life, and are a direct result of our lack of Yin.

When working clients, Natalie draws on her extensive experience and knowledge gained as a therapist (she practised acupuncture for over 30 years) and lecturer with your individual story – elements such as blood chemistry, lifestyle, Oriental Medicine differential diagnosis (case history involving analysis of the bodies systems according to Oriental medicine). This uncovers your personal imbalances of yin and yang, with the aim being to then restore that balance. With yin and yang in balance we get our life energy flowing and can remove any obstacles that are or have been obstructing the natural flow, all of which opens the doors to your bodies natural health and healing capacities.
