Dianne Levick ND
Naturopath, Iridologist, Nutritionist, Medical Herbalist, Homeopath, Pranic Healer
BHSc(Nat), Adv ND, Adv DipHerbMed, Dip Nut, Pranic Certificate
Dianne has been practising as a Naturopath for many years and specialises in mood disorders such as depression and anxiety as well as childrens health and related problems such as ADHD, Autism and special dietary needs.
Dianne has a background in the fitness industry where she worked as a fitness instructor / personal trainer prior to completing a Bachelor of Health Schience Degree (Complimentary Medicine) at the University of Western Sydney. Dianne has lectured in Nutrition at Premier College and due to my background in the fitness industry can answer any of your dietary/weight loss questions.
Iridology is used as part of her diagnosis within a consultation. By studying the fibres, markings and colourings of the iris, strengths, weaknesses and genetic tendencies as well as current disease states either acute or chronic may be diagnosed for treatment.
Pranic Healing is a highly effective therapy that corrects the energy imbalances underlying physical, psychological and psycho-spiritual disorders. It involves systemic techniques of removing diseased energy from the human energy system called the Aura and energising it with fresh and vital energy called Prana. By integrating pranic healing into a naturopathic healing programme she finds that patients experience faster and better results from their treatments.
Cholesterol and blood sugar testing are also available on request during a consultation.
EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE (EFT)
EFT is based on the discovery that imbalances in the body’s energy system have profound effects on one’s personal psychology. Correcting these imbalances, which is done by tapping on certain body locations, often leads to rapid remedies.
This may mean freedom from years of self doubt, or negative memories involving rape or other forms of abuse. Freedom to earn that greater income, make those business calls, start that new business, lose that weight, improve that golf score to name a few.
Freedom from the anxiety that causes you to take those pills, drink that alcohol, smoke those cigarettes or raid that refrigerator.
Freedom from intense fears, phobias or anxiety, panic attacks or post traumatic stress disorder, addictive cravings or depression.
There is no long drawn out tell me your life story procedure. There are no pills, there is no painfully reliving past traumatic experiences. It doesn’t take months or years, it takes a fraction of the usual time and is often done in minutes.
People simply get beyond their emotional luggage, usually permanently, and go about their lives more effectively.
When using EFT there is no long, drawn out, “tell me your life story”
There are no pills
There is no painfully reliving the past traumatic events
It doesn’t take months or years
It takes a fraction of the usual time and is often done in minutes.

Karen is a family naturopath with a particular passion for assisting couples with natural fertility, pregnancy, or supporting couples through assisted conception such as IVF. Working with babies and children is prominent in Karen’s practice, especially after the birth of Karen’s beautiful boy Tyler in July 2010, the experience has furthered Karen’s first-hand knowledge!

All autoimmune conditions especially thyroid disorders are a specialty as well as digestive disorders, and female and male reproductive health. Karen has a DAN! (Defeat Autism Now) qualification and enjoys assisting families with autistic spectrum disorder children which is very prevalent in our modern society.
Karen uses the latest technology in each consultation, an electro-interstitial 3D body scanner (EIS) which was developed by a French neurologist and is used by many Doctors especially in Europe to show over and under function of all body systems and some measurements of hormones, electrolytes and brain chemistry to assist with a more accurate treatment plan and visual results for the client. Karen also offers this technology to other local professional practitioners and performs this test for their client and prepares a 7 page report of findings to send directly to the referring practitioner. The client returns to their practitioner who goes through the results with their client as it is best interpreted with the knowledge of their full case history. The EIS 3D body scan is quick and easy and non-invasive (clothes stay on!) and is approved by TGA as a reliable medical screening device.

Coreena Willoughby
Oriental Health Practitioner
Mobile: 0424 133 428
www.coreenawilloughby.com
Whether we have acupuncture to increase our energy, for fertility and pregnancy support, or for relaxation, it is with no doubt one of the best and oldest forms of both fundamental and specialist health care.
Coreena Willoughby is a local Oriental Health Practitioner who has been practicing in the Shire for the past 7 years. She runs a busy practice specialising in acupuncture for fertility, pregnancy, facial rejuvenation, stress relief, pain relief, and children’s no-needles treatments.
Acupuncture offers a safe, effective and drug free way to address all concerns with IVF and fertility support for male and female, pregnancy support, labour preparation, labour induction, pain relief during labour and post-partum recovery.
A study undertaken by the University of Adelaide fertility clinic “Repromed” in 2006, indicates that Acupuncture can be safely integrated with your medical treatment, and can impart emotional balance, self-confidence and well-being during this time – to help improve your chances of success. The study found fertility rates during embryo transfer can be DOUBLED with the use of acupuncture.
Reference: http://www.adelaide.edu.au/news/news11641.html
Pregnancy is an exciting and wonderful time; it can also be a time of discomfort with the many hormonal and physical changes associated with pregnancy, the symptoms of which can all be treated with acupuncture, when many western medicines cannot be used during this time.
As more women seek drug-free treatments, Coreena’s acupuncture treatments on a regular basis during pre-conception and pregnancy lay the foundation for a healthy mum and baby, and a shorter and easier delivery experience. |
