Naturopathy embodies a holistic approach to wellness, founded in the principle that the body has the innate capacity to self-heal. Our experienced naturopaths use their scientific and investigative training to identify the underlying cause of an illness and then tailor appropriate healing modalities to guide you towards restoration of harmony in the body and mind.
Our naturopathy consults aim to empower, educate and facilitate your connection to your full healing potential to achieve optimal health and well-being. Using a blend of traditional wisdom and the purest, evidence based natural medicines, complimented by modern functional testing and advanced therapeutic techniques, we help to target the root drivers of illness and suggest the best natural tools to optimise your wellness.
Every second an estimated 400 million impulses of information are processed in your body by 70 trillion cells. The extra cellular matrix communicates this information between the tissues and organs in your body. Other substances like toxins, parasites, bacteria and viruses also send out these waves, but with a different frequency. Advanced bioresonance devices are able to read electrical changes in these energetic, intra-cellular communications. It uses non-invasive techniques to screen for subtle energy responses to virtual stressors’ like chemicals, microbes, foods, hormones and other imbalances that could be affecting your ability to heal.
Common imbalances that are often screened include:
Allergies/sensitivities to foods, environmental toxins
Spinal and dental imbalances
Digestive disorders
Emotional stressors
Vitamins, minerals and toxins
Parasites, fungi and bad bacteria
And so much more…
The Physical Process of Testing
The bio-energetic software contains digitally encoded information related to a large number of health factors including anatomy and physiology, nutrients, pathogens, mental and emotional factors and metabolic processes. During a screen, a set of these signatures are chosen by the practitioner and using a safe low voltage circuit formed by holding two brass cylinders, the response of the body to these signals are recorded.
Bio-energetic (or just ‘energetic’) testing is effectively ‘asking the body-mind a question’ and obtaining the response directly from a physiological signal, without engaging the conscious and language centres of the mind. It is similar to kinesiology, a technique where the question is asked verbally or the subject may hold an object or substance that is being tested. The response is measured by changes in the contractile strength of the skeletal muscles and checked manually by the practitioner. With bioresonance, the challenges or questions are presented a micropower radio signal output, rather than in words. Using over thirty years of digital encoding methods it can run a large number of tests in a few minutes helping to give a broader picture of energetic functioning and responses in a person’s body. It is not a diagnostic device, rather it discerns an individual set of responses to signals which may be positive or negative. This allows our practitioners to work out the best therapies to help shift health in a positive direction.
The device we use is backed by thirty years of research and is safe to use with babies, pregnant women in their first trimester and anyone at any stage within their lives. If you are unable to attend in person because you live interstate or overseas, we can remotely test you using a sample of your nails, hair or urine.
Katrina and her naturopathic practitioners use the latest dark field microscopes with HD cameras to view dry and coagulated blood samples. From a prick of your finger we collect one drop of blood and place this on a microscope. From this you can see your red blood cells, white blood cells and more on the screen. Our practitioners are trained to recognise how different signs and symptoms may relate to your health status. This test is especially helpful at checking for
- Candida
- Gut health
- Inflammation
- Mould
- Immune Dysregulation and more
As this is not considered a diagnostic tool, we may still refer you to your doctor for further testing.
The colour and pattern of your eyes is as unique as your finger print and no two eyes are the same!
Approximately 300,000 nerves travel from your body to the optic nerves in your eyes. These nerves are not involved in sight; instead they relay information about the health of every area of your body. Every time something occurs (either physical or emotional) the nerves reflect this information into the eyes and relay this by creating a colour or specific change in the iris, showing us what is happening internally. By photographing the Iris (coloured part of your eye) our experienced iridologists can obtain information about all parts of your body and brain, just like a road map. Iridology can identify your inherited strengths and weaknesses, your tendency to health problems and even current health imbalances. This powerful information helps you to understand how to best take care of your body in order to prevent disease.
At Wholistic House we use state of the art technology to measure your mineral, vitamin and heavy metal status within your tissues.
Using a German spectrophotometry device, we can gain information on nutrients and heavy metals within your tissues. The basic principle is that every type of compound, regardless of whether it is chemical or mineral, absorbs, emits or reflects light (electromagnetic radiation) over a specific range of wavelengths. This test is painless, non-invasive and can be used from the age of 2 years old and the results are immediate.
Why test this way?
Blood tests only show what nutrients are circulating around your body NOT what is being absorbed or stored in the body’s tissues. Urine tests measure what the body is capable of excreting, not necessarily what is being stored. This is a highly accurate method of assessing what is being stored in tissues and how this may be affecting body systems.
A Biofield Tuning session is a unique sound healing experience designed to balance and harmonise the body's electromagnetic field, or biofield. During a session, our practitioner uses specially calibrated tuning forks to locate and correct distortions within this energy field, which can be caused by physical, emotional, or mental stress.
The tuning forks are passed through the field around the body, and as they encounter areas of dissonance, they emit frequencies that help to restore balance and coherence. This process is believed to help alleviate pain, reduce anxiety, and promote a sense of overall well-being. As the session progresses, clients often feel a deep sense of relaxation, lightness, and clarity as stuck or stagnant energy is released and the biofield is brought back into a state of harmony.
In a typical Biofield Tuning session, whether conducted in person or remotely, you can expect to lie comfortably while the practitioner assesses your biofield. The experience is generally very gentle, with most people reporting feelings of calm and subtle shifts in their energy.
Some individuals might experience physical sensations, such as tingling or warmth, or emotional releases as the tuning forks interact with their energy field.
Post-session, it is common to feel lighter, more centered, and to experience a greater sense of clarity and emotional freedom. Over time, multiple sessions may lead to profound changes in one’s physical health, mental state, and overall energetic balance
At Wholistic House we have one of the best near-far infrared saunas in Australia for use in our clinic. There is a big difference between traditional, infrared and near far infrared sauna or heat therapy. Traditional saunas heat the air around you, while infrared saunas work on heating your core from the inside and this allows them to operate at a much lower temperature. Infrared is a spectrum of light that is emitted by the sun and is a part of the light spectrum that is visible to us. Infrared light covers the spectrum of 700-100000 nanometres with near far (NIR) covering 700 nm to 1400 nm and far infrared (FIR) 3000 – 100000 nm.
Most sauna brands in Australia are primarily far infrared saunas that generate heat using carbon panel heaters. Unfortunately, these generate EMF frequencies which can be dangerous. Far infrared only penetrates 0.1 mm below the skin and because of this is unable to drive out toxins and heavy metals. However, it does have some other useful effects like reducing arrythmias, improving blood circulation and reducing pain and stiffness. Near far infrared saunas use heat and light to enhance healing on a deep level. A proper near far infrared sauna generates next to zero EMF frequencies. The near far rays penetrate the skin’s surface by up to 5 inches. Because NIR can penetrate so deeply it can push our most heavy metals and toxins via sweat in the skin.
When near far heat and light penetrates deep into the tissues it causes some incredible metabolic healing effects. It prompts the body to produce heat shock proteins that can offset oxidative stress by helping to scavenge free radicals and support antioxidant production.
