Kari Barron, Kinesiologist ‘My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD and struggled with learning difficulties and mood swings. After just one session with Kari, she has improved significantly.

She is now excited for school and much happier.

I can’t recommend Kari enough!’ – Bernadette ‘I don’t think words are enough to thank Kari.

Especially from people who suffer from PTSD and trauma… one session and the shift is real!’ – Darlene

Byron Bay

Kari is passionate about practicing kinesiology and supporting clients to reach their full potential; whether it’s for career, health, self-esteem, relationships, financial, learning difficulties or just overall wellbeing. It is amazing how quickly the results come. Through muscle testing she is able to identify and resolve physical, mental, emotional, nutritional, hormonal and neurological imbalances and restore health and vitality.

She specialises in neurological kinesiology called LEAP (Life Enhancement Acupressure Protocols), which focuses on addressing neurological imbalances that affect how the brain functions. It’s particularly helpful for overactive fight/flight response, anxiety, depression, PTSD, learning difficulties, self-esteem, motivation, deep rooted behavioural patterns etc.

Emma Bellamy, Crystal Bed Healing ‘I’ve had three crystal healings with Emma and each time I felt an impenetrable shield of positive energy around me for weeks after – it was impossible to have a negative thought! Truly an amazing experience. I can’t recommend it enough.’

– Samantha Horton

Bangalow

The Crystal Light Bed contains seven clear quartz crystals. As you lay comfortably down, fully clothed, on a bed, a crystal is aligned with each of your chakras. Your eyes are covered with tissue and you are guided through a meditation while the machine is switched on.

Coloured light is pulsed through the crystals corresponding with the light of each of your chakras. The pyro- and piezo-electric effects harmonise your body’s electromagnetic field, restoring it gently to its optimum levels.

When we are restored to balance, all facets of our lives benefit, as we are living in harmony with our perfect, natural state… We are able to heal faster, sleep better and go about our lives in a more energised, focused, clear and happy way.

Tristan Bray, Attunement Therapy ‘I am confident in saying Attunement Therapy is the most profound healing therapy that I have ever experienced.’ – Brijana, NSW ‘The space Tristan holds is impeccable so that I could fully surrender into his heartbeat, which nurtured my soul.’ – Sarah, WA

Mullumbimby, Byron Shire

Tristan provides a unique and very safe space for his client’s needs through this incredible modality. A session provides the opportunity for safe, neutral, non-sexual touch; so that clients walk away with a heightened sense of self.

Attunement Therapy is founded on some of the most ancient biological principles relevant to human physical and emotional health. Evolution has wired us to be physically connected with other people on a regular basis to maintain a healthy body, to de-stress and to heal.

This modality helps reduce fear, trauma, stress and anxiety in our life. Its influence on the nervous system balances hormones, which leads to enhanced digestion, immunity, longevity and physical wellness. This therapy is stunning in its simplicity and effectiveness.

John Bumpus, Mineral Balancing Practitioner ‘One of the most knowledgeable and caring practitioners that I have ever worked with!

John takes the time to listen to me and explain any concerns that I have. Having an HTMA to track my results has been a god-send.

Can’t recommend him enough! His work is truly the future of health-care.’ – JF

Byron Bay, online

If you use supplements to improve your health, let’s face it, you are guessing what your body needs.

With a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), we can identify exactly what minerals are needed, as well as a person’s hormonal status, and any potential heavy metal toxicity. John’s Mineral Balancing Program corrects these imbalances and encourages the body to naturally detoxify from heavy metals, using vitamins and minerals, paired with a healthy lifestyle.

John Bumpus is a Mineral Balancing practitioner who takes a holistic approach to health; and as a PhD candidate in natural medicine, his expertise, extensive background and vibrant passion for minerals, have made him a highly sought-after consultant and speaker, worldwide.

Byron Bayurveda – Dominic Gleeson & Julie Caracatsanoudis ‘Julie held a warming and kind space for me, making me feel very comfortable through the session.

She formulated a specific meal plan for me to follow to help re-balance my body. She listened and offered simple lifestyle changes that I now see as a treat to have in my life. Julie catered to me individually, and provided guidance on ways I can live a more simple, balanced and healthier life.’ – A Ahmet

Byron Bay and surrounds, online

Julie and Dominic specialise in classical ayurvedic nutritional medicine. Both are qualified ayurveda practitioners trained by Professor Chandler at the Ayurveda College, Byron Bay. Their training included classical ayurvedic health assessments – identifying and treating the very root causes of illness, nutrition, making and dispensing prescriptions, providing therapies including cleanses, yoga and meditation, counselling for health and wellbeing.

All suggestions and therapies are designed to suit individuals and their living environment.

Ayurvedic nutrition prescribes foods based on your current condition (vikrti), dosha constitution (prakrit), season, age and stage of life, in addition to nutritional deficiencies. This makes it unique in the fact that it considers the energies of the food as well as that of the consumer, the method of preparation, and daily meditation / spiritual practice, to restore and maintain health.

Rhonda’s Readings ‘I had my first reading with Rhonda and the clarification that she gave was incredible. I have had several readings since – personally and via phone, Her communication from Spirit is clear and concise, and the guidance is always given with loving intent. I highly recommend a reading with Rhonda.’

– Patricia, Sunshine Coast

Reserve Creek

‘The universe drew me to Rhonda and Spirit, I was world-weary, broken and depleted.

I brought to her table a heavy but open heart and a head in a similar state.

Rhonda met me in that place with sometimes brutal honesty, incredible generosity, and a good measure of genuine warmth and empathy.

‘Rhonda brought knowing and priceless communication from Spirit, and an invaluable connection to those on the other side, and for the first time in my 37 years a feeling of support and understanding. Receiving this, hearing the things that were hard to hear, although not easy, has brought transformation and soul-level renewal to my life.

‘These few mere “words” lack the weight and eloquence to do justice to Rhonda’s work but I hope that they might help others to make connection to this extraordinary human.’

• Take time out to de-stress, relax, rejuvenate and re-align your life force, maintaining your health and vitality through massage and therapeutic manipulation. A quality experience!

• Thai Sabai is Byron Bay’s ‘best massage experience’.

Byron Bay

Thai massage was developed by Buddhist monks in Thailand 2,500 years ago. It incorporates passive stretching and gentle pressure along your body’s energy lines to increase flexibility, relieve muscle tension, and balance energy systems. It encourages the body to detoxify whilst increasing flexibility and circulation. It relaxes, invigorates, and releases stress.

Foot massage opens sen energy lines by stimulating reflex points that correspond to internal organs. It improves circulation, removes toxins, stimulates lymphatic drainage, boosts immune systems, relieves stress and improves sleep and clarity.

Unlike the so-called fresh produce at the supermarket, which has often been picked days, weeks, or even months before it reaches the shelf, the fruit and vegetables at the New Brighton Farmers Market are grown locally and picked just hours before the market. There is minimal nutrient loss, meaning you are eating healthier, more nutrient-dense food.

Beyond fruit and vegetables, the market also offers healthier versions of other foods – pastured eggs from chickens that have had access to healthy, natural diets; breads made from nutritionally dense stoneground wholewheat flours, raw local honey, unpasteurised fermented foods and freshly made preservative and additive-free products such as dips, baked goods and organic fruit cordials.

Procedures can also be done through the public and private healthcare systems.

Minimise the risk of catching colds, flu, COVID-19

Make your environment safer: Avoid the 3Cs: spaces that are closed, crowded or involve close contact.

Outbreaks have been reported in restaurants, choir practices, fitness classes, nightclubs, offices and places of worship where people have gathered, often in crowded indoor settings where they talk loudly, shout, breathe heavily or sing.

The risks of getting COVID-19 are higher in crowded and inadequately ventilated spaces where infected people spend long periods of time together in close proximity. These environments are where the virus appears to spreads by respiratory droplets or aerosols more efficiently, so taking precautions is even more important.

Meet people outside. Outdoor gatherings are safer than indoor ones, particularly if indoor spaces are small and without outdoor air coming in.

Avoid crowded or indoor settings but if you can’t, then take precautions at the very least open a window to increase the amount of natural ventilation. You may also consider wearing a mask.

Don’t forget the basics of good hygiene Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water. This eliminates germs including viruses that may be on your hands.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and infect you.

Cover your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze.

Then dispose of the used tissue immediately into a closed bin and wash your hands. By following good ‘respiratory hygiene’, you protect the people around you from viruses, which cause colds, flu and COVID-19.

Clean and disinfect surfaces frequently especially those which are regularly touched, such as door handles, faucets and phone screens.

Ananda Clinics Ananda Clinics is a medical practice in Byron Bay specialising in endocannabinoid medicine and integrative health.

Their approach takes account of the whole person, including all aspects of lifestyle, and they emphasise the therapeutic relationship between practitioner and patient. They believe in facilitating the body’s innate healing response and using natural, minimally invasive treatments.

Byron Bay

Ananda Clinics offers residents of northern NSW a new legal treatment option. Dr Jamie Rickcord MBBS FRACGP understands that the medicinal power of cannabis can bring a whole new paradigm for the treatment of many chronic health conditions. This includes chronic pain, anxiety, insomnia, PTSD, IBS and many other common medical problems.

Medicinal cannabis is available through the TGA and the special access scheme for certain conditions. The endocannabinoid system in the human body is responsible for the maintenance of natural homeostasis in the nervous and immune systems. This mechanism maintains the body’s ability to stay in balance, and when functioning properly, returns an optimal state of wellbeing where the body acts as its own healer.

STELLAR Awards launched to recognise outstanding health workers The Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD) has launched a new award program to recognise dedicated nursing and midwifery staff across the health service.

The STELLAR Awards, developed by the Nursing and Midwifery Service, encourages members of the public to nominate a staff member or team who has provided exceptional care.

Photo by Jonathan Borba from pexels.com Katharine Duffy, Director Nursing, Midwifery and Aboriginal Health, said the awards were a special way to honour staff for their incredible contributions to their profession. ‘I am very pleased to launch the Northern NSW Local Health District Nursing and Midwifery Service STELLAR Awards’, Ms Duffy said.

‘The awards are a monthly recognition program which recognise individuals or teams of registered and enrolled nurses, registered midwives or assistants in nursing/midwifery who have made an outstanding contribution to the health service and the care of the local community.

‘The STELLARs will add to our existing annual recognition of excellence by providing an opportunity for patients, members of the community and other health care workers to nominate nurses and midwives on a regular basis,’ said Ms Duffy.

How to nominate Patients and visitors can nominate staff using nomination forms available in each health service, or online on the NNSWLHD website. Nominations will be reviewed each month and the winner chosen on merit. They’ll receive a badge and certificate, and go into the running for the annual STELLAR award.
