We would like to welcome Rose McKenna to Bairnsdale Natural Health Centre.
Rose is a Reiki Energy Healer who is now available for appointments Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
A Bit About Rose
Rose has had extensive experience in the East Gippsland area over the past 15 years, helping children and adults with disabilities to reach their potential and supporting their families through the process.
Rose wanted to explore how else she could assist people, and extend her services to the general public. She has completed a Source Healing Accreditation , Reiki 1 and 2 and Access Bars. These are all energy healing modalities.
Energy Healing
Energy Healing is beneficial for everyone and is a broad term for any modality that involves activating the body’s energy systems. Energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or emotional pain. These blocks can cause illness. As energy blocks are dissolved through the energy healing modality, the body’s own healing system can begin to activate deep inner healing.

Are we consuming too much sugar? Sugar is found in many products. If it is listed in the first three ingredients, it is one of the main ingredients of that product. There may be other hidden sugars used to add sweetness and or as packing to bulk up the product. Read the nutritional information of what you are about to purchase and consume.

Our Naturopath, Glenys Hammond says:
Did you know that these herbs can be grown around our houses to protect our family and pets from nasty bugs and pests? Most of them can be easily sourced and or grown from cuttings. This is just another use for herbs which are beneficial in so many ways.

Announcing that upon entry to Bairnsdale Natural Health Centre, Shelley is taking everyone’s temperature. Due to 2nd wave of Covid 19, it’s another step towards preventing the spread. If you have fever, you will be asked to go and get the Covid test and stay home until you have the result.

Naturopath Glenys Hammond, is now available to see clients for face to face appointments.

We have been working tirelessly implementing the COVID 19 safety measures to protect you, the practitioners and staff at the Clinic and others within the community.

Outside the front door of the Clinic there is signage requesting that you wait outside and or in your car until your appointment time.

Signage to remind everybody to keep physical distance of 1.5 metres at all times.

Also, signage reminding you to wash hands either in the rest room, or use the pump pack of hand sanitiser. There is one on the table outside the door and one on reception counter.
There is paper towel for hand drying in the rest room.

Inside there are crosses with coloured tape, indicating where to stand. Four persons are allowed in the waiting room at one time plus our receptionist Shelley. Only people with appointments are allowed to sit in the waiting room.

We have minimised chairs in the waiting room, the arms are wiped regularly as are the door handles and surfaces. Perspex screens on the have been installed in the reception counter and Shelley is wiping the EFTPOS terminal in between clients. Disposable cups are at the front counter if you need a drink of water.
Every person that enters the Clinic will be asked to provide their name and phone number; a requirement by the Government in case of a positive outbreak.

We have allowed more time between consultations so that we have time to wipe all surfaces in between. The practitioners have staggered consultation times to avoid a cluster in the waiting room.

HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO TO ASSIST US TO IMPLEMENT SAFETY MEASURES.

It is paramount that you notify the Clinic is you are unwell, and have been in contact with anyone with a cold and or the virus.

Please adhere to the health regulations of washing your hands.

Do not attempt to bring a visitor into the clinic with you.

After making payments and re-booking please leave the Clinic promptly to allow for other clients to enter the building.

Thankyou for your co-operation and support.
Call 51531679 to make your appointment.

A Naturopathic perspective to respiratory and viral infections

Viruses are opportunistic parasites exploiting the weakness in ‘host’ immune systems, they cannot reproduce without a host. Viruses effect your immune system and metabolism.

There is a lot of information readily available on the net and in the media about what vitamins, minerals and nutrients you should take to prevent and or address a viral attack.

So much so that it can be overwhelming and confusing without really knowing if it will prevent a virus attack or not.

Should you take their recommendations?

Is the supplement as good as what they advocate it to be?

Are you taking the correct dosage?

But most importantly, are these recommended vitamins and wonder remedies going to clash with medications you may be taking?

We really do need to be mindful of this at all times but especially now with the onset of winter and the viral pandemic.

Our body needs a well organised, balanced immune and metabolic counter response to reduce susceptibility to viruses and bacteria and a nutritionally sound, well balance diet with adequate protein, a low glycaemic diet, avoiding sugar consumption and processed foods.

Warming foods such as soup/broth, fresh ginger, fresh garlic and onion, medicinal mushrooms such as; sh*take and reishi and peppers. A healthy gut microbiotica is paramount.

Plenty of sleep, intermittent exercise, breathing exercises, (not in the cold), sun therapy (morning sun) and control of the process of the fear related to media and television coverage of the viral pandemic is essential. Fear is counter-productive.

I can only emphasize that it is highly recommended to seek professional advice from a qualified Naturopath in regards to which vitamins, minerals and or nutrients you may or may not need.

Consider a hair Tissue Mineral Analysis.
Discover if you are you a slow or a fast-metabolic type?
How balanced your mineral status is and if you have a toxic overload…

Your health is our concern, we care about you.
