JANET HOMAN Regression Therapy
DR ANNE PARGITER Holistic Well Woman Practice
Your body can accumulate toxins for many years without complaining, but eventually, when your organs and vital systems can no longer cope, it will start to rebel. It is at this point of overload that you will experience disease. What starts out as frequent coughs and colds or regular headaches can progress to louder, more serious complaints. The process of a well-managed fasting and detoxification programme helps to release and eliminate unwanted toxins in a safe way, allowing the body to heal itself. Fasting is nature’s medicine, cleansing and repairing at a deep cellular level.
While everyone seems to be talking about past lives these days, it’s imperative to understand that entering a past life is only a small part of a far broader healing modality called regression therapy. Today we recognise that past or current life experiences are perceived either as negative or positive, and stored in the energetic layers of our body. Negative experiences (traumas) are translated and held in the body as energetic blocks. Regression therapy is the process where specialised techniques are used to locate energetic blocks caused by negative experiences, by uncovering the route cause at the source, navigating between past and current lives if necessary, and finally dissolving the emotional link to those experiences. Regression therapy deals with all energetic layers of a person at one time – physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual to facilitate very deep healing. Proper training in regression therapy teaches facilitators to first make sure that an issue does not need medical intervention and, if not, to proceed with therapy to ascertain why the issue is presenting itself. I put my clients into a safe hypnotic state or use repressed cellular memory techniques and take them back to the first time they felt the symptom, re-visiting and re-framing the initial situation. No matter whether we’ve accessed a past life or current life situation, it's important to bring the resolution through to the present day, bringing new energy into the system and letting the body assimilate that which has past.
I have been qualified for over 30 years, and in private practice for 20. I am a wellwoman GP practitioner and am certified with the North American Menopause Society (NAMS). Menopause can pose a tremendous challenge for women, with an array of symptoms that can be managed holistically. I believe that it is a life transition to be celebrated rather that suffered. In order for this to be the case, it’s important for women to have compete knowledge of menopause - what to expect when it arrives, and how to best deal with its symptoms. I practise integrative medicine, which involves counselling and exploring the integration of emotional, spiritual and physical health. My patients come for 45-minute appointments, in which they receive topto-toe physicals including gynaecological check-ups and an understanding into their emotional wellbeing. I see women patients of all ages ranging from eight to 100-year-old’s for both gynaecological and GP consultations. I run intimate and interactive Saturday morning workshops that offer a wellrounded view on the topic of a holistic approach to menopause. Having been a member of the original executive and founding committee of IMISA (the Institute of Mindfulness of South Africa) I have a keen interest in the subject. To this end, I run retreats at the beautiful Temenos Retreat Centre in McGregor, in association with creative writing Professor Wendy Woodward. We combine our knowledge to guide women on a journey of mindfulness, creative writing and the management of menopause. We will also be running retreats focused on loss and death next year.
I am the owner of Detox International Southern Africa, a franchise of Detox International UK (previously featured on the TV series, The Spa of Embarassing Illnesses). I work as a facilitator on my retreats, which I have been running in KwaZulu-Natal, Johannesburg and Cape Town for five years. The retreats consist of seven days of juice fasting, colon cleansing and daily yoga and therapies. They are closely guided by facilitators who give talks on various aspects of health optimisation, like reducing stress, improving diet and being aware of the toxins both in one's food and in the environment. I also supervise and oversee home detoxes for those who arent’t able (or prefer not) to attend a week-long retreat. I am available over the phone at all hours to assist people on their home detoxes, guiding and supporting them throughout the process. As a detox facilitator, Banting enthusiast, fitness professional and experienced counsellor, I am here to help you at whatever stage of your journey you are at, and will design a programme unique to you and your needs.

Past life sessions can become very informative on aspects like soul contracts, links to people from the past that are carried over into this lifetime, and more. The point of all of this is, of course, to help a person gain an understanding of their current life situation or symptom, become 'unstuck' from it, and make the current life more enjoyable and fruitful.
