Penny Barron

Adv.Dip.Hom. B.Sc.  D.R.M

There is more to the immune system than we realize. There is the common belief that the body’s defence system consists of a few different types of white cells floating around the bloodstream. A homeopath, however, sees a person’s ability to deal with the surrounding environment as functioning on all levels, a cooperation of the physical body, emotions and mind. Often one or all of these aspects of our health may be out of balance, whether due to the stresses in our lives, our naturally occurring tendencies, or a mixture of both. A well chosen remedy combined with the support provided by regular homeopathic consultations can be extremely effective in helping to gently and naturally return the self to a state of wellbeing.

Penny Barron is a classical homeopath with an interest in the connections between the state of our body, thoughts and feelings. Being a mother herself, Penny has a passion for the care of mothers and children, particularly fertility management, post natal issues and childhood anxiety. The aim is to strengthen the whole person on all levels to allow the body/mind complex to effectively function despite stress from the outside environment, as well as to discover new ways to deal with or reduce existing sources of stress in our lifestyle.

Penny offers a fresh approach to practicing, combining modern developments in the homeopathic field with the classic tried and true methods. Penny focuses on the various levels of emotional links to every day complaints, especially those that keep recurring in the same pattern. Often these have an underlying cause at a much deeper level, which can be resolved if it is possible to go within and discover what it is that motivates the self to react to a particular situation. Penny has a keen interest in aiding people to discover for themselves the solutions to the difficulties in their lives, and strongly believes that this approach can be used as a catalyst to bring about true wellbeing on all levels.

Lorraine Ellison

Dip.Hom.Med. AHA

We all vary in our ability to adapt to, and cope with stress. Stress can be divided into 2 main categories, healthy stress and unhealthy stress. Healthy stress pushes you to perform better e.g. gaining that little extra from your body in a race. Unhealthy stress brings you near to overloading - you make mistakes...you fall ill.

The body operates as a unit, with the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual working together to maintain balance.

Your symptoms, the signs or indications of your being ill - are an expression of need and a call for help from your body on any of these levels.

A homeopathic prescriber is a symptom sleuth!

The homeopathic medicine prescribed can be equally effective when dealing with chronic conditions e.g. menopause, arthritis, anxiety and depression, as with more acute conditions such as 'flu', morning sickness, also falls, stings, burns, hangovers, digestive upsets etc etc.

Homeopathy works beautifully with children. Help is at hand for night terrors, behavioural difficulties, colic and much more.

Being the mother of young adults and a teenager, Lorraine has developed an extensive and sensible understanding in this area. Lorraine initially worked in pathology, studying part time for a New Zealand Certificate of Science.

Lorraine also has a long standing interest in the psychological connections to disease, especially depression, behaviour and major life transitions. She brings a steady quietness to the consultation, making it easy for the client to talk and their story unfold. This is an integral part of the visit to the homeopath, allowing a thorough understanding of the client, and the issues - physical and emotional - to develop.

Kim Powell

Dip.Hom. Dip.Botanical Medicine Hom.Post Grad. Studies

Kim first became interested in natural therapies when her younger brother, who had asthma, was on constant medication. Being disenchanted with his treatment she studied Naturopathy graduating in 1989. Her study in Homeopathy led to a Post Graduate course. Much of her current interest is in Asthma, and the anxiety it brings for the whole family. In general Kim’s practice includes treatment of the many different types of anxiety that go hand in hand with menopause, headaches, migraine and sleep issues. She has found that other problems such as RSI and tenosynovitis can be effectively relieved using homeopathic treatment along with bodywork. Kim is happy to work along side your chiropractor or osteopath.

Kim has seen some amazing results with homeopathy and her patients enjoy her quirky sense of humour, her friendly attitude and good listening ability. She feels homeopathy often surpasses other forms of treatment being a subtle yet powerful method of healing.
