Autoimmunity

With autoimmune conditions the immune system mistakes part of our body as foreign and releases autoantibodies that attack healthy cells.

Often these conditions start sub-clinically, meaning they are not picked up through lab tests because of the narrow measure of what is considered outside the normal range. Kinesiology and Naturopathy are wonderful in recognising tell-tale signs early, also easing and reversing conditions. 

I find that a gut imbalance and / or trauma often sits behind many autoimmune conditions, so these are areas I explore to support returning to vitality.

As well as targeted Kinesiology balancing, I use Eden Energy Medicine techniques for autoimmune conditions and I have specialist training in Hypnotherapy for chronic pain.

To support the underlying root cause of an autoimmune condition I complete a thorough Naturopathic assessment which goes back two generations. I also bring in Traditional Medicine often drawing on Ayurveda to restore natural balance.

I have worked extensively with clients presenting with autoimmune conditions including Addison's Disease, Coeliac's Disease, Chronic Urticaria, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Lichens, Lupus, Lyme, Multiple Sclerosis, Pernicious Anaemia, Psoriasis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Raynaud's Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Sjögren’s Syndrome.

Many autoimmune and chronic conditions co-exist which is why it is important to identify and balance the root cause.

Whilst not strictly Naturopathic I have also completed training with the Institute of Optimum Nutrition (ION) on Working with Complex Autoimmunity in Clinical Practice.

Kinesiology supports the whole-person by identifying what structural, biochemical, emotional, and energetic work is needed. 

There are targeted balances that are particularly supportive for autoimmunity. I am also about to start specific Kinesiology training on Lyme Disease. While not classified as an autoimmune disease, research indicates that Lyme Disease may trigger an autoimmune response.

I have also completed a specific Eden Energy Medicine course for autoimmune disease and include certain techniques into my balances if they test as a priority. Donna Eden, the founder of Eden Energy Medicine, regained her own health following a Multi Sclerosis diagnosis.

As a Master NLP Practitioner, Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Naturopath I am passionate about the mind, body and gut connection.

Getting an upset stomach during times of stress is an example of the mind-gut connection. Being on high-alert and having a gut imbalance significantly impacts our wellbeing. A gut imbalance has been linked to depression, eating disorders and disordered eating, neurodevelopmental, and autoimmune conditions. 

I offer a range of Kinesiology techniques to support gut health. I am a HypnoIBS® Practitioner, Certified GAPS Practitioner, and SIBO Doctor approved. I have specialist training in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis).

Trauma and self-belief are areas I work extensively with. I have added to my NLP and Hypnotherapy background by training in three trauma focused therapies: Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT), Metaphysical Anatomy (MAT®), and Somasense®. I have also completed training with NICABM on the Neurobiology of Trauma and Mastering the Treatment of Trauma.

I often combine my therapies with Kinesiology techniques, such as, trauma recall and the Emotional Stress Release (ESR) programme. Donna Eden's chakra healing is also a gentle way to release trauma. 

I have co-created Soma-Psych Alignment®, which allows the body to do the talking, so sessions can be content free.

Autoimmune and Chronic conditions are one of the specialities of The Mind Body Gut Training Company and the Optimal Mind Body Gut Programme.
