There are many forms of therapies which are highly successful alternatives to established medical solutions. In some cases, these 'alternative' therapies are the effective solutions. The healing of illness, affliction and dis-ease that are serious, chronic, addictive or terminal are most often complicated by a combination of physical, mental and spiritual processes, no single solution will offer a complete remedy. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>It is my firm opinion that the majority of medical, emotional or mental afflictions are rooted either in the sub-conscious or the superconscious minds where the patterns of the individual lives are held an played out. The subconscious mind is the doorway to the spirit or soul. Suggestive and challenging therapies (such as hypnosis, NLP, and Gestalt) are the best methods for total healing on all levels. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>I specialise in a broad range of therapies which address medical and emotional challenges rooted in the sub-conscious or superconscious minds. </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#990000" FACE="Eurostile" ><B>The Healing Practice </B></FONT><B>is not a medical facility, and I, and other therapists who work with me are neither licensed nor qualified to provide medical advice, nor do we render medical aid in any form.  All therapies focus on the subconscious or spirit (spiritual) aspect of your existence. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>My Philosphy and Work Ethics:</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>I bring an open mind to all issues. In my opinion that is a pre-requisite for being a good therapist and healer. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>I am not here to judge you or your issues, I accept things as they are.  I only take your personal and religious convictions into account to come to a fuller and better understading of you as an individual and to assess the most suitable treatment and method.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The reality is that things exist and they come into being for their own reasons. To be effective as a healer and therapist one has to accept life in all its forms. The universe too offers all-accepting possibilities, otherwise life would not be so diverse, nor would we have the ability to share different opinions. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>You are in charge of your life</U></B><B>; and it is you who wishes to change, improve or get better - I am here to help you, because I have the knowledge of a way and method that enables you to achieve your goals.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>My personal or moral convictions do not really come into play when I assist you as a therapist. My OPEN MIND philosophy does form my background, and much what you read on this website is based on years of experience.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>As a clinical therapist I apply </B><B><U>proven</U></B><B> and </B><B><U>beneficial</U></B><B> methods to my practice. </B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>POINTS of IMPORTANCE: </B></div> <bR> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f033000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Hypnotherapists or NLP practitioners cannot claim to cure anything - as in all medicinal practice you cure yourself with the help/effects of your own attitude toward of medication or treatment.
