Advance With Health specialises in Integrative Therapy bringing together a wide range of healing disciplines and fashioning individual treatments specific to each clients need. My philosophy is described in two words:-

  • Integrate – to bring together or incorporate (parts) into a whole.
  • Heal – to make healthy, whole, or sound; restore to health; free from ailment.

Integrative Healing describes my own multi-disciplinary approach to healing. First, I consider all interacting components that make you who you are – your body, mind, emotions and spiritual force. Second, I determine which modalities, tools and techniques will best restore your health and vitality.

I focus on three in particular:

  • Massage
  • Living Energy Tune Up
  • TRE (Trauma Release Exercises)
In our sessions together, you will feel guided, supported and empowered; ultimately this is about YOU taking control and deciding to change and move forward. That’s why I provide you with a set of ‘Self Care Tools’ to take home and integrate into your day-to-day life.
