Ozone therapy is her passion. It has been used in medicine since 1915 and now with 100 years of clinical use behind it has an impressive record in improving health and restoring normal physiological function.

What might it do for you? Essentially ozone restores oxygen saturation to the body’s tissues. With any form of illness, the oxygen levels drop and if they get depressed 40% below normal cancer is encouraged to grow. Low oxygen signals fatigue, usually becoming chronic. The oxidative (Life Force) power of the body is reduced and metabolism goes down to a less efficient level. Conversely, when the oxygen saturation is returned to normal there is a strong chance of recovery of normal physiological function i.e.: A return to better health.

Ozone therapy is unsurpassed as a method of oxygenation and is a cousin of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Six treatments are required to receive the ozone effect and as metabolism improves vastly resulting benefits are very long lasting.

Prolotherapy is a non-invasive, cost-effective solution to many problems associated with the wear and tear of joints and back problems.    Especially effective with knee and shoulder damage and lower back issues.

An injection of dextrose and lidocaine are used to perform prolotherapy.  The injection is given into damaged tissue (ligaments and tendons) which causes it to inflame and then heal.  In the healing process more strength is added to bony connections. Ligaments hold joints firmly, so they move in correct alignment.  Tendons attach muscles to bones. Tearing of ligaments and tendons off bones causes sloppy joint movement and pain.

Prolozone involves injecting ozone into the painful or inflamed areas, similar to prolotherapy.

Once repaired non-surgically with prolotherapy, muscles can then strengthen around the joint.  Once the joint is strong, it remains so unless another accidental injury occurs. Prolotherapy increases circulation and nutrients that help tissue repair itself.  This collagen strengthening technique can be used for all joint injuries, old or new.

Family Therapist-Counsellor

Sand Tray Therapy Sessions

Sand tray therapy (which is also referred to as sand play therapy) is often used with individuals who have experienced a traumatic event such as abuse. It’s most often used with children, but it can also help teens and adults. Psychotherapists may use sand trays to assess, diagnose, or treat a variety of mental illnesses.  Research shows that sand tray therapy can help increase emotional expression while also reducing psychological distress in many populations.

Counselling and Family Therapy

Why do people seek help from a Counsellor or Family Therapist?

I believe all of humanity seeks some type of help with life and the understanding of the emotions they are going through when we face diversity.  From children through to adults, we face many changes.  These changes can course heart ache and many emotions, dealing with these changes can sometimes be very difficult.  Counselling helps children, adolescents and adults find the answers they need to process the changes.  Helping them move through the changes with new understanding and skills to cope with the emotions they are dealing with.

Family therapy is a more systematic approach to families with the intent that everything is connected.  Family therapy works with the entire family system, to help address fractured relationships, children’s behaviour, adolescent behaivours.  It looks at parenting, patterns within their parenting and splits in the system.  By looking through the wider lens a Family therapist can help the parents strengthen their unity which in turn strengths the entire system, so the family is able to function at a higher level.
