Hypnotherapists use techniques that bring about deep
relaxation and in this
focused state
the client
is unusually responsive to an
idea or image that will benefit
their health - but a hypnotist cannot control the
person's mind and free will!
Hypnotherapy is
therefore completely safe,
wonderfully relaxing and can be very effective in dealing
with a host of issues including stress, weight loss
(including the hypnotic gastric band), anxiety, panic, phobias, unwanted habits (e.g. smoking, overeating,
social media 'addiction'), disrupted
sleep patterns & insomnia, lack of confidence and low self-esteem, fear
of flying, fear of examinations, driving
test and public speaking nerves, migraine and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Additionally, it has proved
beneficial in pain
management and with sporting, business and
artistic performance enhancement.
A core principle of NLP is 'If you
always do what you've always done you will always get what
you've always got'. In other words, if your current
behaviour is unconsciously not getting you what you want in
life then by making this unconscious behaviour conscious,
you can make more resourceful choices and get a better
result! Many people study NLP to help them
become more effective in their chosen field. The patterns
can be employed across a wide area of applications ranging
from fields as diverse as: education (all
levels), team building & training,
sales
& marketing, business & management, negotiation,
personal
& professional development, leadership and coaching,
relationships (personal & professional)
Coaching (which may or may not
include hypnosis - 'hypno-coaching') helps the client to
'unstick' from something holding them back in some aspect of
their personal or professional life.
Their life may lack direction or they are finding it
difficult to achieve goals that have been identified.

Therapeutic Massage Therapy (often described as
Relaxation Massage, Rehabilitation Massage, Deep Tissue
Massage, Anti-Stress Massage, Sports Massage) is a great way
to relieve stress and assist in the treatment of
muscular-skeletal and associated problems. Regular
Therapeutic Massage can improve circulatory, lymphatic and
neurological functioning.
These days, given the high
levels of stress under which many people live, Therapeutic
Massage is not only a highly beneficial therapy, but also
one of the healthiest options to improving one’s quality of
life. Andrea Holbrook is highly experienced and ITEC
qualified massage therapist and college instructor.

We
At your initial consultation we will explain the process of your
treatment and the principles involved. In order to
arrive at the appropriate solution(s) we will need to discuss (in
some detail) your lifestyle, diet, sleep patterns, medical
history, family and much more. For this reason your first
consultation may up to two hours, although subsequent
sessions will
be somewhat shorter. Please be assured that all personal
information is securely held and is totally confidential.
Our techniques can be used effectively and
safely for all - from babies and children to adults,
including women during pregnancy. Where remedies are
suggested these are
safe and non-addictive and can be taken alongside
prescription drugs.
Food intolerance is not, unlike a food
allergy, a reaction by the body's immune system. Symptoms
may be slower to manifest and may persist for several hours,
and a person may be intolerant to a number of foods or
groups of foods. Sometimes a person can tolerate a certain
amount of a food but if they eat too much or too frequently
then symptoms arise.
Dietary factors contributing to
conditions such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Asthma,
Eczema, Migraine, Thrush, PMT, High Blood Pressure,
Sinusitis, and Glue Ear in children can often be indicated
by food intolerance testing. Symptoms are varied and can
include headaches, low energy, tiredness, constipation,
diarrhoea, bloating, nausea, vomiting, IBS, skin rashes,
joint pain, dark circles under the eyes, night sweats,
chronic runny or blocked nose, etc. In food allergy, the
symptoms are usually predictable. With food intolerance, a
much wider range of symptoms may occur which can make
diagnosis more difficult.
A food intolerance consultation will include a detailed appraisal of the client's diet and lifestyle, followed by testing for the specific intolerances. Advice regarding any required adjustments to diet and lifestyle will then be provided and assistance offered to support these changes, such as nutritional advice and recipe suggestions. A second consultation will review progress and fine-tune the recommendations.
h2 Natural Health offers sensory movement / seated dance
sessions to care homes, residential homes and other
facilities throughout Perthshire, Angus and Dundee.

Dance is often an activity that people have to stop due to
reduced mobility and balance problems. We use appropriate
sensory movement (chair-based initially), music and props to
explore creative ideas, enabling participants to overcome
perceived limitations. Indeed, this type of fun activity has
been shown to be of particular benefit to dementia
sufferers. We often find staff and residents standing up to
enjoy a waltz or jive, exercising the body, stimulating the
mind and feeding the soul!
Social prescribing (or
community referral) is a way for healthcare professionals to
refer people to a range of local, non-clinical services.
This modern approach recognises that people’s health is
determined primarily by a range of social, economic and
environmental factors. It addresses people’s needs in a
holistic way and also aims to support individuals to take
greater control of their own health.
We at h2 Natural Health are
playing a part in this approach by not only signposting our
clients, but also directly facilitating beneficial
activities in our local area. Examples include micro-mastery
classes, qigong
exercise and movement classes, arts activities, group
learning, gardening, cookery, healthy eating advice and
natural history projects (such as the Alyth Bird Blogs and
children’s Nature I-spy in Alyth activity).
