I am sitting at Brisbane Airport awaiting my flight back to Melbourne after doing an amazing 5 days of training to upgrade and advance my skills in Iridology and Physiography.
In what I hear you say! Did you know that your iris (the coloured part of your eye) is a blueprint that reflects the genetic makeup of your parents, grandparents and great grandparents? No iris is the same and it is even more accurate than a fingerprint in identifying us.
The colour, structure and patterns or signs in your eyes reveal information on your genetic strengths and weaknesses, your predisposition to specific health conditions and can help in assessing why you have the symptoms you have now and how best to treat them. For example there are a number of signs in the eye that can indicate a potential for cardiovascular issues. This doesn’t mean you will develop the condition but that it is a nurture point or organ that should be looked after and preventative measures taken. Another example is chronic constipation – there are a number of physical and emotional factors that could cause or contribute to this condition – the iris wi
ll help to point these out.
Its not only our eyes that can tell a story….our posture, face shape, mouth, ears, nose, nails and hands and feet can all help to tell a story about our current state of health and future health! This is known as Physiography! Ever wondered what those lines on your forehead or the shape of your fingers or nails actually mean? Come and talk to us!

Naturopath, Natural Therapist, Naturopathic Physician, Osteopath, Chiropractor, Massage Therapist, Homeopath, Acupuncturist, and the list goes on and on………so how do you find the right one for you?
I think what is important to know is that there is no shortage of alternative health practitioners – the privately run colleges make sure of that! With little regulation and an educational industry driven by money, there are hundreds of new graduates every year ready to hang their shingle and start practising. So here are some tips to help find the right one for you.
- Experience is one of the first things I look for, particularly clinical experience. Knowledge and theory are wonderful but making the successful transition to applying it practically takes time and practise, especially if you are looking for results.
- Look for accreditation by an industry professional body such as ANTA (Australian Natural Therapists Association) so at least you know the qualifications are recognised, professional insurance is in place and you have more chance of being able to claim your consultation with private health cover.
- Price is difficult to comment on as the reality is the better practitioners will charge more. However they will also generally offer better value, service and guarantee results.
- Promotion of wellness generally across all aspects of life with advice and treatment not just centred on supplements and products. The aim should be long term wellness not just a bandaid approach to treating symptoms.
Its also important to remember that your natural therapist is going to take a holistic approach and not just treat your symptoms so it is not realistic to expect all the answers in one visit and your program is likely to involve some time depending on the condition. A ‘guessimate’ in many chronic conditions is 3 months plus another month for every year you have had the condition. You should also be prepared to be asked to make some dietary and lifestyle changes! If you are after a quick fix or miracle cure overnight you should probably rethink spending the money!
