Welcome to Felicity Rushton
Boundaries of Care
Naturopaths are more than happy to work along side your G.P. to bring you back to optimal health. If I find that a diagnosis I have reached is beyond my knowledge or expertise, I will not try to bluff my way through it but would refer you to your G.P. with a letter saying what my findings are.
Safe Environment
No interruptions during sessions, lots of natural light, a non-threatening atmosphere. All this for as relaxing consultation as can be provided.
Re - Assurance
As Naturopaths are like Doctors, everything that is said in a consultation is strictly confidential and will go no further.
Naturopaths work through all the body systems to come at the most probable diagnosis. In other words I would first list a number of different conditions that could relate to the symptoms that you have presented with and from there, break it down until the correct diagnosis is reached. I do this mainly through muscle testing. At all time you will be involved and informed.
Decision Making
You as the client will be involved in all decision making about your care. I will make sure that you understand about the condition that you might have and provide information on it to my best ability.
Program
Any program that I make up for you has to be something that you are happy with and will continue with at home. PLEASE tell me if you think that the program is not to your liking or you feel that you will not be able to do it. We will adjust it to something that works for you. Remember that it is your health and I want what is best for you.
Remedies
All remedies prescribed to you will be labelled accordingly. This will be done the same way that a pharmacist would label an antibiotic etc. Your name and date, what the prescribed medicine is and instructions on dosage and how to administer would also be noted.
What Is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is a system of healing which treats the person, not the dis-ease. It respects that each person is an individual, made up of a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual dimension.
If any one of these are out of balance, disease can manifest in the body in many different ways, each one unique to the individual.
The methods used in naturopathy are aimed at supporting your body to return to a state of balance. Your body will do the rest.
Less than optimum health, and even disease, is a process which does not occur overnight. Likewise, a return to optimum health needs time and some effort on your part. The remedies you will be given can only work in conjunction with your efforts towards leading a healthy lifestyle.

Homeobotanicals
Homeobotanical therapy is where Homeobotancial remedies are carefully blended to suit the patients individual ease needs. A typical prescription can contain three or four primary Homeobotanical remedies matched to the symptoms to reinforce the bodie’s natural efforts to restore health. Homeobotanical remedies are blends of herbal extracts and tinctures which are potentised in the homeopathic manner to release a unique healing energy. These remedies stimulate healing in either the organs or systems of the body.
How does it Work?
Prescriptions are taken a few drops at a time, there are no side effects and these preparations are so gentle acting that even the most sensitive patient, elderly person or infant can use them. Even animals benefit from them.
Often in ill health the body has undergone a long term sequence of symptoms. These can mask the initial cause of ill health. Once the cause has been removed, the body can begin to heal itself. Our body is designed to heal itself but it cannot do this until it is brought back into balance. Homeobotanical therapy triggers this healing response.
The aim of a Homeobotanical Therapy practitioner is to find and treat the cause of ill health, in doing so, restoring the bodies natural balance. This gentle natural health therapy can be used for most health conditions and can be taken alongside other medication. It can be used alone or with other treatment processes.

Bach Flowers
Bach Flowers are gentle natural remedies made from liquid plant preparations which carry an imprint of specific flowers. They are prepared by a special technique developed in the 1920s by Dr Edward Bach.
Flower Essences do not directly treat disease, but help to stabilize emotional and mental stresses. The essences are designed to help transform emotions, attitudes and patterns of behaviours which hinder the person’s full development or potential. They are used to help restore emotional and psychological equilibrium to individuals during periods of stress. Rescue Remedy is a combination of five Bach flower remedies, which is used to address fear, panic, severe mental stress and tension. It is beneficial for all psychological and physical stresses.
Muscle Testing
Muscle testing, also called kinesiology, applied kinesiology, or energy testing is an ancient healing tool that has been around for centuries. Muscle testing is biofeedback without all the gadgets. It can be used anywhere to test anything. You can test to find out which foods you are allergic to, or find which foods can cause side effects such as weight gain, gas! Bloating! Hiccups! Tiredness, etc. You can also use muscle testing for finding deficiencies or excesses of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, oils, fatty acids and amino acids. Muscle testing is also used to test the core cause of disease, which options are best to heal the challenges, which drugs or supplements are best for you. I use muscle testing to check your body systems and decide which supplements, vitamins and flower essences that you may need.
How Muscle Testing Works
The body is an integral interacting whole. Muscles, organs, and glands are interconnected via energy circuits of nerves, lymphatic’s, energy meridians, and blood vessels. These circuits “turn off’ when imbalanced or blocked by illness, injury, or toxin overload. By balancing the body’s energy, the systems are able to heal returning us to a state of health. Muscle testing is one method that allows us to do this.
An indicator muscle (any old muscle that is available for use) is used to test the answer to our “yes” and “no” questions. Your practitioner may use the arm muscles, leg muscles or their fingers (like I do). A negative answer to a question gives a sagging, clicking, or spongy feeling to the indicator muscle by short-circuiting or overloading the system. This makes it impossible for the indicator muscle to maintain its strength or hold position when pressure is applied.
I believe that the body knows why it is sick and how it got that way. By asking the correct questions we are able to find the core cause of illness.
What is Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive, If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words
- Reiki which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy”. So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.”
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.
What Is Bowen
Bowen is a gentle form of bodywork involving a series of delicate moves with the thumbs and fingers across muscle and tendons to relieve pain and discomfort. These moves are thought to stimulate energy throughout the body, allowing it to reset and heal itself. The healing may occur at all levels as needed: physical, chemical, emotional, mental and energetic.
The Bowen Technique is believed to work primarily through the nervous system on both structural and energetic levels. Bowen moves send electrical impulses to the brain, resulting in muscle relaxation and pain reduction. The moves also stimulate blood flow and lymphatic circulation and drainage. Several of the moves are located along acupuncture meridians or on specific acupuncture points which are known to stimulate and balance the body’s energy
Some things that Bowen can help with:
• Low, middle or upper back pain or stiffness
• Neck pain or stiffness, including wry neck and whiplash problems
• Shoulder or arm problems, including Carpal Tunnel syndrome (pain, numbness or tingling in hands or fingers)
• Headaches, migraines, dizziness
• Sinusitis, eye, ear or nose and throat problems
• Sciatica, pain in the groin, hip or buttock
• Thigh, hamstring or knee problems
• Lower leg, ankle, foot and toe problems
• Lymph and circulatory problems
