MEET THE TEAM
Naturopath, Herbalist, Nutritionist, Homeopath, Thai Massage & Bowen Body Work Therapist
Christine started in private practice in 1996. She specialises in Nutritional Medicine for a wide variety of health problems in women, men, and children. It is vital that the body and mind are nourished well before they can perform for us like we want them to, and as they should.
Naturopathy is not "alternative" medicine - it is simply a different system of treatment that focuses on optimal wellness and preventative medicine, rather than just the absence of disease.
That is, even without the diagnosis of a disease, you may still feel tired, unwell, stressed, bloated, suffer with recurrent infections, feel hormonal, or have aching joints. Your choice to seek Naturopathic treatment means you are ready to make dietary and lifestyle changes, that will benefit you in the short term, as well as set in place the foundations for life -long health, and disease prevention.
Christine's approach is down-to-earth, sensible, and achievable… no extreme diets or mountains of pills to swallow. A Naturopathic consultation typically takes 1 – 1.25 hrs, and your diet, digestive function, sleep, stress levels, hormones, physical activity, and energy levels will be discussed. We offer support, education, and expert guidance – to get you well, and keep you there.

Massage Therapist
Maria has been working as a massage therapist since 2006. She practises Remedial massage, Sports, Swedish, Reiki and Kahuna Hot Stone Massage.
Remedial massage... Is used for general and specific areas of the body to soften and mobilize muscles. Also used to treat tight and constricted muscles in the face, neck, shoulder, back, arms and legs.
Swedish massage... A relaxing and nurturing treatment. Relieves stress, tension, headaches and muscular aches.
Sports massage... Prevents injury with regular massage, treats specific injuries such as muscle micro tearing, tendonitis. Also used to enhance recovery during injury, reduce and help align scar tissue formation.
Kahuna Hot Stone Massage... Is based on the ancient art from the Hawaiians using hot stones, coconut oil and techniques from Hawaiian Ka Huna Lomi Lomi massage. The smooth basalt stones are chosen for their size and shape. For example the three larger stones are placed on the key energy centres (chakras) totally relaxing and warming the body. Smaller stones are used to massage with, and even smaller again are placed between the toes. The stones are high in magnesium and iron and retain their heat and with the use of the coconut oil glide easily over the muscles smoothing tension along the way. A full body massage starts with the legs and feet and finishes with a gentle face massage. 90 minutes is recommended for a full body massage.
A comforting and nurturing treatment which improves blood circulation, calms the nervous system and relaxes muscles. Improvement may also occur in clients with fibromyalgia, depression, insomnia, stress, anxiety, tension, back pain, rheumatism, arthritis and muscular aches.
Remember having regular massage will preserve your good health by managing stress, preventing injuries and increasing your energy levels.

Naturopath ND, BA. (Social Science), Herbalist, Iridologist, Homoeopath (ATMS accredited), Frequency Specific Microcurrent Practitioner.
As a Naturopath, I use different tools to support and encourage the body to heal. The aim is to find a balanced way to manage health and well-being, so that one can live their best life.
What is Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM)?
It is a gentle current system that provides drug-free pain relief. It is a safe, non-invasive, clinically proven tool which offers a healing current for ‘specific’ tissue.
Patients are not attached to an electrical outage. It is not a Tens Device in any shape or form, as it can decrease pain, inflammation and heal the tissue.
Stress, Infection and Trauma, tend to decrease Vagal tone which leads to conditions like Dysbiosis, Autoimmunity, Anxiety, Low Immunity. With FSM, it increases ATP, which is energy in cells, and increases Vagal Tone which is much needed for our Nervous System to repair and calm.
Conditions it has benefitted include PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), Autoimmune, Chronic Fatigue, Long Covid, SIBO, Phantom Limb Pain, Fractures, Shingles (which can relieve pain an increase recovery from), Fibromyalgia, Back Pain, Sciatic Nerve Pain, Joint Pain, Disc Pain, Sprains, Ligaments, Tendons, Mild Neuralgia.
I also consult as a Naturopath.
Days available: Tuesdays & Wednesdays.

Senior Yoga Teacher
Christine Harpley is a Senior Teacher (Yoga Australia), who has been teaching Yoga for 23 years. She uses Yoga postures, breath work, and mindfulness to help people break through the barriers that may impede them from living a balanced and fulfilling life.
“When we feel emotionally imbalanced, one way to gain clarity and a new perspective is to slow down and connect with our body.”
Yoga Therapy is known for activating the calming part of our nervous system, called the parasympathetic pathway. This can bring a deep sense of calm and self-understanding.
Clients have reported being less reactive and better able to recognize triggers that create chaos in their lives. This type of therapy is also known as "Insight Practice."
To begin, we need to understand what we are currently doing, become aware of our habits, take responsibility for our choices, and be willing to make changes. Somatic practices help us get to know ourselves on a deeper level.
While experiences may vary, one thing that is universally felt is a sense of integration, greater acceptance, and ultimately a peaceful heart. What could be more important than that?
To gain the maximum benefit from the sessions, you would need to attend one or two sessions each week and practice at home for 15 minutes, at least two times between sessions utilising my downloadable resources.
The cost is $115 per hourly session (all inclusive).
When you're ready to start, I'm here to support you on your journey towards living your best life.
