THERAPIES
All therapy sessions are available in person and online/long distance. In person sessions take place at practice rooms in various locations depending on availability (please enquire directly for more details).

Naturopathy
Initial Session: up to 90 minutes          Follow-up Sessions: up to 45 minutes
A philosophy and system of healthcare which encourages and supports the body's Vital Life Force and naturally intelligent self-healing mechanisms using an eclectic approach that is best suited to the individual person's needs. This practice also works on the principle that the whole person (physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually) is supported since everything is connected for wellbeing, not just illnesses or body systems/organs in isolation.

Herbal Medicine
Initial Session: up to 60 minutes          Follow-up Sessions: up to 45 minutes
The use of plants and natural botanicals and preparations derived from plants to restore balance and vitality. Gillian has been trained in Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Herbal Medicine, which she uses in combination in her consultations in order to choose the best herbs to suit the client's needs physically and energetically.

Reiki 
Sessions: 30 or 60 minutes
Gillian becomes a conduit between you and the Universal Life Force to channel its energy into you, which assists in activating your own self-healing potential. This works to cleanse, realign, and balance the flow of energy between your body's energetic focal points (Chakras) to create a sense of relaxation and restoration to every part of your physical and emotional well-being. This technique can also be focused on specific parts of the body that require extra attention.

Energy Healing 
Sessions: up to 60 minutes
Also known as having "hot hands", this is a flexible, gentle, non-invasive, holistic form of energy-based therapy that deals with issues in the body, emotions and mind. This can sometimes feel similar to Reiki, but in this process it is Gillian's own energy used to direct yours around instead of your own, and without focusing primarily on Chakra health. This helps to release energy blocks and misalignments trapped in various areas of the body that can manifest as physical, emotional and mental dis-ease that Reiki alone may be unable to shift. Benefits can continue long after the session has ended and does not interfere with any medications protocols prescribed by a GP.

Shamanic Healing 
Sessions: up to 60 minutes
A form of healing that deals with ailments of the spirit/energy that filter down to affect the body, mood and thoughts. Symptoms that have no apparent physical cause, for which tests cannot give conclusive results and/or do not shift despite natural or conventional treatments, often signal a need for healing of the spirit; such symptoms can include a continuous physical/mental malaise in spite of a healthy lifestyle, or perhaps a sense of being out-of-sorts or “not like yourself”. 
The experience during a session is different for everyone: unwanted energies and attachments can be removed are replaced with healing energies that protect and nourish you; sometimes visions and messages are received to provide insight; healing guides of any shape and nature from the spirit realm may come to assist in the process. Clearings, soul retrieval, channeling/mediumship, psychic surgery and psychopomp work are just a few examples of what can be experienced in a session. And in accordance with the traditions of this practice, the use of some herbs may be included and/or recommended in order to enhance the process in-session and to continue the benefits after the session.
