A little bit about me and the services I offer you.

​

Welcome!

 

My name is Socrates and I am a qualified and experienced Naturopath, Bowen Therapist and Scar Tissue Release practitioner.

 

As a holistic healthcare practitioner, my goal is to significantly enhance the health and vitality of my clients by identifying and addressing the root causes. Given the right environment, the human body has an incredible self-healing capability.  I am here to assist and guide you in creating an optimal environment to encourage self-healing and progressing your journey towards better health and vitality.

​

Based on my training and clinical experience, I may utilise one or more of the following to help identify the root causes of your health concerns and address and bring balance to your health and well-being:

​

• Functional and pathology testing

• Naturopathic assessment techniques

• Physical health assessment techniques

• Herbal medicines

• Nutritional medicines

• Diet and lifestyle modifications

• Flower essence therapy

• Bowen Therapy treatments (Bowtech ®)

• McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release technique (MSTR ®)

• Referral to other health practitioners, as deemed necessary

​

How my own personal health journey has shaped the way I practice today.

​

Prior to making the decision to pursue a career in the complementary medicine field, I worked for many years in a high stress corporate role. The lifestyle I lead during this time was not conducive to good health and ultimately resulted in the deterioration of my own health and well-being over time.  I found that conventional medical treatments did not provide all the answers to many of the health problems I faced at the time, so I sought assistance from various complementary medicine practitioners.  Many of the treatments I received helped address various aspects of my own health and wellness journey through diet and lifestyle modifications, the use of nutritional and herbal medicines, homeopathic medicines, flower essence therapy and Bowenwork (also known as Bowen Therapy).  This personal experience provided me the opportunity to obtain a deeper personal understanding of some of the underlying causes of ill-health from a mental, emotional and physical aspect.

 

By combining my clinical experience with the lessons learnt on my own wellness journey, I have a unique understanding of the complex nature of ill-health and that a "one-size fits all" approach to health doesn't help address and resolve the problem. As everyone is unique, I offer personalised care to my clients to suit the individuals' needs.
