What is Self Healing?

The motto of my work is ‘Truth, Goodness & Beauty
in the Healing Arts’ as it is the pursuit of these
three qualities in our daily lives that bring joy to
living. This site is devoted to supporting and
inspiring those who wish to heal themselves, to
evolve in truth, goodness and beauty, and who see
life as an opportunity to be appreciated. Life isn’t
perfect for anyone. How we choose to deal with this
reality becomes the essence of how we experience
life. The more conscious this choice becomes, the
greater our healing experience is.
Through more than twenty years of practise as a Naturopath, Iridologist and Herbalist, I have observed that the single most important quality, consistent in those that genuinely heal and evolve as human beings, is a sense of personal responsibility and a willingness to learn and then to apply that knowledge… experiment with it and make it their own. Those who become students of their own life and actively participate in living are able to ‘spin the straw’ of life into ‘gold’ and in doing so enlighten their life with wellness and happiness.
Self Healing is the process whereby an individual, who seeks genuine healing, experiences a shift in perception from dependence to a self reliant sense of personal responsibility. Patients become students of their own life in search of independent health, as they explore the many facets of life, such as lifestyle, habits, inherent strengths and weaknesses, and their physical, emotional and spiritual history, and how these facets shape them into a form that they live within. If this form is one that causes pain and illness, then self healing seeks to reshape this form by altering and healing the facets of life that contribute towards it.
The practitioner undertakes the role of guiding the self healer towards the healing modalities most suited to their individual goals. The relationship of practitioner and patient becomes ones of teacher and student. Rather than simply recommending herbs, diet changes, and supportive therapies, the practitioner encourages the individual to actively understand what they are doing and why, and to reflect on the changes in their life and how this affects their over all form. Through education and personal experience the patient becomes the practitioner of their own life, with the tools to care for themselves, and to seek support appropriately as needed.
