The Conclusion of an Era
The last eight weeks have been filled with some memorable trips down memory lane for many of our clients and, of course, ourselves.
With Gregory’s 45 years of clinical experience and 38 years of practice together building our multidisciplinary centre, looking back through the eyes of so many grateful clients has been both joyful and humbling.
Yes, there have been a few tears and a lot of hugs and well wishes for our future.
Many of you have keenly expressed interest in Gregory’s future writings as well as requests for us to impart knowledge through teachings and public talks.
Perhaps you could tell us what those talks and teaching subjects might look like from your perspective?
Looking back, our heartfelt gratitude extends to all who have shared our journey, particularly the dedicated practitioners that offered naturopathy, herbal medicine, and homeopathy. Bodywork modalities including shiatsu, osteopathy, Bowen, and massage therapies.
Also, psychology, psychotherapy, and hypnosis.
Additionally, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and fertility management.
Diagnostics including Dark Field microscopy, urine and saliva analysis, and electrodermal testing for a vast range of foods, substances, and medicines.
Gosh, and the list goes on!
Additionally, thank you to the wonderful reception, dispensary, and bookkeeping staff and, of course, our innovative son Joshua who transitioned us into the modern technology age, streamlining everything as practice manager.
Not forgetting the many keen naturopathic students who undertook their ‘eye-opening’ clinic hours with us, including students of second-year nursing and fourth-year medicine, who all bought something valuable to our practice.
Then, of course, there was the large community room that accommodated many classes and workshops, including yoga, specialty Food as Medicine cooking classes, environmental health subjects, genetics, feng shui, astrology, and just about every conceivable health and mind-related subject.
In 2011, we were honoured to receive the Small Business of the Year award for our services, and we were further rewarded by being assisted by other educational bodies to make training videos that encouraged other young practitioners on their career paths.
It’s been a fast-paced, fulfilling, and yes, at times challenging journey which has only served to strengthen us as a couple towards betterment in all aspects of ourselves and our careers through helping others.
Thank you to everyone who has sent us both and Alison heartfelt messages, gifts, and cards. It’s been an honour and privilege to assist you all.
Finally, thanks to Katrina and Trav from La Bell Wellness for providing space for us in our graceful wind-down over the last eight months. 🙏🏼 🌟
And now ……. to continue our journeying within and without, exploring this magnificent, beautiful, diverse, and powerful land that is our home.
