Bioresonance Screening

Do you suffer from? Stress/Anxiety, Headaches/Migraines, Digestive disorders, Fatigue/Adrenal Exhaustion, Hormonal Imbalances, Menopause/Menstrual Disturbances, Sleep Disturbances/Insomnia, Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Infertility, Allergies/Food intolerances, Thyroid Imbalances, Depression, Chronic Fatigue/ME, Environmental Sensitivities, Inflammation, Emotional upset, Endocrine disorders, Immune system dysfunction, Addiction/smoking or alcohol, Infections, Medical conditions or other health conditions?

How does Bio-energetic Screening work? Bio-energetic screening utilizes the latest science and digital technology to scan the body and deliver a comprehensive picture of your current energetic health status including areas where the body is depleted, out of balance and weak. Bio-energetic screening is backed by 40 years of research and delivers life changing results for many people. The process is simple, accurate and comprehensive. Being a Naturopath, and having worked in the health field for 30 years, I am astounded at the depth of insight and information the testing offers for clients. It allows us to get to the root cause of your health issues quickly and effectively. I am finding this system a life saver for many clients who have suffered with ill health for a long time.

Studies point strongly to benefits such as quicker labours and fewer complications for mother and baby when therapeutic massage is incorporated into antenatal care.
