I am a fully qualified homeopath who uses muscle response testing and naturopathic principles as an integral part of my approach to identify from the numerous potential factors in your environment what is affecting your health.
This can include:
- dehydration
- chemical
- pesticides
- artificial hormones
- computers
- mobile and cordless phones
- past and current consumption of pharmaceutical drugs
- vaccinations
- food and substance intolerances,
- deficiency in nutrients
- accidents, operations or emotional shock
Research has now shown that the activity of your genes is affected by the conditions surrounding your cells and by your perception of the environment – which comes from your conscious and subconscious thoughts. Emotional and physical traumas, such as a difficult birth, accidents, divorce or bereavement from any stage of our lives can have a continuing effect, making us prone to stress, anxiety, insomnia, allergies, digestive problems and so on.
As your environment becomes increasingly toxic it is more difficult for you to stay energetically in balance and to be able to eliminate toxins and absorb nutrients effectively, especially as everyone is now living in a soup of electro-smog.
I therefore use a holistic approach – viewing your emotions, physical state, lifestyle, surroundings and typical thought patterns as an integrated whole, where one affects the others. Usually this means I will use a combination of therapies to stimulate your own natural healing processes. I believe it is important to empower you in your own healing, so I encourage you to develop practices, such as deep breathing, to reduce stress and maintain your equilibrium between sessions.
Typically my treatments consist of using some of the following, according to your needs, as determined by muscle testing you:
- energy balancing techniques,
- homeopathic remedies,
- flower essences
- kinesiology
- guidance on lifestyle changes to reduce exposure to toxins
- advice on suitable electromagnetic protection devices where needed
- suggested dietary changes to enhance your energy levels
- ways of eradicating negative thoughts
- stress reduction techniques
Muscle response testing is a technique that kinesiologists believe allows the practitioner to tap into your body’s inner knowledge of what is causing an imbalance and how best to correct this. The muscle testing I use involves applying very gentle pressure against your arm while you hold it down by your side. This is done with you seated and fully clothed. For more details please see ‘What To Expect’ below.
Areas of SpecialityI am a registered homeopath and have completed a Foundation in Systematic Kinesiology. Since I discovered that I was electro-sensitive and suffered from chemical sensitivity, I am able to offer information, remedies and protection devices for dealing with environmental toxicity and electro-sensitivity, acquired through personal experience and research of these issues.
I use kinesiology techniques and homeopathy to help overcome learning and concentration difficulties, dyspraxia, high levels of stress and eliminate intolerances and allergies.
For many people, simple ways of reducing their exposure to various forms of electromagnetic frequencies can make a big difference to how they feel. I identify where using electromagnetic radiation protection devices would be helpful.
I also discuss stress reduction and relaxation techniques, such as suggesting subliminal learning CDs to let go of negative beliefs held in the subconscious.
I am certified by Foresight (the Association for Pre-conceptual Care) as a Foresight practitioner. This means I can give information and support if you wish to improve your health before conception, in order to increase your chances of conceiving a healthy baby. If you have a history of miscarriages or infertility the Foresight programme has demonstrated its amazing effectiveness at helping couples produce full-term, well babies.
Previously I have been a La Leche League leader (breastfeeding counsellor) for 10 years and therefore I have an understanding of the issues affecting breastfeeding families.
Areas of Special InterestPeople come to me with a wide range of conditions including (but not exclusively):
- Acne
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Indigestion & heartburn
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Chronic fatigue
- Menstrual and menopausal difficulties
- Learning difficulties
- Recurrent headaches
- Feelings of overwhelm/stress
- Sleep disturbances
- Eating disorders/lack of appetite
- Brain fog and concentration difficulties
- Memory problems
- Chronic back and joint pain
- Nausea and dizziness
- History of miscarriage
- Chemical sensitivity and electro-hypersensitivity
If you have a complaint that is not on this list, please contact me to discuss how the therapies that I offer might be able to assist you. I will be delighted to talk to you.
What to ExpectBefore seeing you I will send out a client questionnaire asking for information about your medical history and that of your family, details about your diet, conventional drugs that you’ve taken, vaccinations, accidents, surgery, and the condition for which you are requesting help.
At the consultation I will go through the questionnaire to obtain more detail and to clarify anything I am not clear about. It can be very helpful if you can find out details about your birth as this can be the first trauma that many people suffer.
After that, I carry out muscle testing with you seated on a chair with one arm down by your side. I apply very gentle pressure to your wrist to see if I can pull your arm away from your body. If I can’t this means the muscle is activated, i.e. there is energy flowing through it. I then test to see which organs and parts of your body are energetically out of balance, which will switch off the flow of energy to the muscle keeping your arm in to your side.
If you would like your baby or a young child tested, I can test on you as a stand-in, while you touch your child or a sample of their hair.
I also can test for appropriate remedies for you if you cannot attend in person, using a hair sample.
Some techniques such as kinesiology and energy balancing are performed with you lying fully clothed on a treatment couch.
About TherapiesHomeopathyHomeopathy is a natural system of medicine which has been in use for over 200 years and is often prescribed by doctors in countries like Germany and Switzerland. It uses the energetic imprints of many substances, such as plants, minerals, organisms etc to shift energy blocks in your body and thereby stimulate your own healing mechanisms. This is normally given in the form of tablets or tinctures. As the remedies are made from extremely dilute forms of the original substance there is no risk of toxicity. They are therefore safe for people of all ages, including babies, pregnant women, the frail and elderly.
There is substantial evidence both in clinical trials and from past epidemics showing the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies to both prevent illness and cure the sick. For research on this see www.homeopathyheals.me.uk
KinesiologyKinesiology is a holistic therapy that works on every aspect of health, the physical, psychological, emotional, nutritional and spiritual levels, to identify and relieve the stress which may be preventing you from enjoying vibrant health. It was developed in the 1960s by Dr George Goodheart combining modern Western techniques and knowledge drawn from Eastern health systems.
Kinesiology makes use of muscle testing techniques to monitor the flow of energy throughout the body on a very fine level. Through this system a kinesiology practitioner can identify the factors which may be disrupting the natural flow of energy which are essential for good health.
Corrections are made by gentle massage and touch on reflex and acupuncture points. Kinesiology makes use of specific body movements and may suggest changes in lifestyle or nutrition. By restoring balance to the energy channels, stress on your body is reduced so that your vitality and healing mechanisms are stimulated.
About Me
I have been using homeopathy and other natural therapies since my first child was born 19 years ago. Both my children have been brought up using nothing but natural medicine. I have witnessed many times the wonder of giving an appropriate remedy and seeing my children regain their energy or the pain diminish within minutes.
I qualified as a homeopath in 2005 and since then I have been incorporating other therapies and strategies into my practice so that I can treat people who are suffering from the impact of an increasingly polluted environment. Muscle testing has enabled me to learn so much about the major sources of pollution in our society and how best to deal with this.
A few years ago I discovered that I was electro-sensitive and so started to learn about and use what measures were available to help people who were susceptible to EMFs.
Prior to qualifying as a homeopath I was a La Leche League leader for 10 years and ran a local support group for breastfeeding mothers. In this time I assisted around 2000 women who were having difficulties with breastfeeding. This was an immensely rewarding task and I learnt so much about sensitive and effective parenting from La Leche League.
I have used the Foresight programme before becoming pregnant with one of my children. This gave me tremendous confidence that all would be well in that pregnancy and I was delighted to have such a healthy baby.
Opening TimesI offer appointments during the day and in the evening up to 7pm on weekdays. Appointments can be made on Saturday mornings according to my commitments,
First consultations last from 1 ½ - 2 hours
Follow-up consultations last from 1 – 1 ½ hours
TestimonialsFacial Rash Gone!Having had recurrent skin problems, including a pronounced facial rash for 7 years which defied treatment by other practitioners, Hellis was able to make a real and lasting difference and give me confidence for the future. Thank you so much.
Andy, Orpington
Amazing Process!I am amazed at how the process works. The combination of muscle testing along with the homeopathy ensures that all remedies are completely relevant and given at the right time and in the right sequence for my body. I have been seeing Hellis for over a year now and I feel that I am still in the process of detoxing from the last 40 years but I can already feel the benefits. I feel less tired all the time, sleep better, feel more positive and am also progressing well with my original problem of a blocked Eustachian tube and dizziness .
J.W., Sidcup, Kent
Improved ConcentrationMy mental focus and clarity of mind have improved so much since starting treatment with Hellis. I hadn’t realised how much electro-smog was affecting me or what to do about it. My performance at work is now on a higher plane.
K.J., OrpingtonHighly Recommended!Hellis has a unique approach to her therapy and I am constantly amazed at her knowledge and expertise. I cannot recommend her highly enough and would encourage anyone with any issues, be they physical or emotional, to contact her and let her work her magic! She is so much more than a homeopath and I feel privileged to have found her.
