  • Lisa is our Nurse Practioner (RGN Bsc INP) and provides a variety of blood tests and aesthetic services. Using York Test Laboratories, a leading health and wellness company with over 40 years of excellence and scientific expertise, we strive to empower you to take control of your nutrition and wellbeing. These tests can be done from the age 3 years and above.

    Essential Health Check - This test helps identify if there is any risk to your health and wellbeing including vitamin deficiencies, cholesterol, liver function, iron deficiency, folate, triglycerides and more.

    Premium Food Intolerance Test - When food particles enter the bloodstream your immune system can sometimes identify these food proteins as ‘foreign’ and produce lgG antibodies to ‘attack’ the particular foods. This response is the immune systems natural defence and can create inflammation and can trigger troublesome symptoms, which may persist if neglected.

    Food and Environmental Allergy Test - This test will help understand what is contributing to any symptoms. This will show clear results for IgE reactions to 23 foods and 19 environmental allergens.

    Inflammation test - Inflammation can impact the whole body and can indicate underlying health conditions or an infection. It also has potential to damage the heart, arteries and blood vessels.

    Menopause Test - This is used to understand whether your menopause status is impacting your health and can help track hormone levels over time.

    Stress (Cortisol) Test - A small amount of stress is a good thing. However, when levels increase it can impact daily life. Raised or low levels of cortisol can tell us if stress is impacting your health.

    Thyroid Check -This test can detect amy imbalance in thyroid hormones. Be aware of your thyroid function and whether you might have overactive thyroid or an underactive thyroid.

    Diabetes Check - Obesity, a sedentary lifestyle and a Western diet can all contribute to developing Type 2 diabetes. This test checks your blood sugar levels over the past three months. This provides and accurate indication and early detection of your risk of developing pre-diabetes/diabetes.

 

  • For your first appointment, Lauren will do a full consultation regarding your medical history, lifestyle, physical/mental issues and much more. From here you may be referred to our on-site nurse Lisa for further test e.g. food intolerance, cortisol, allergy, menopause etc, and Kim our skin and supplement specialist for nutritional advice and any vitamins/supplements that you may benefit from. The final step is a referral to one of our holistic team for treatments based on your consultation results.

  • Acupuncture and Chinese medicine is classed as a whole medical system and can be used as a treatment for a wide range of conditions helping to regulate the body’s vital systems, e.g. the endocrine, circulatory and nervous system. We use this method to help the body function to its full potential and bring the body back to full health.

  • Cupping therapy is used to release tension from the muscles and superficial tissues of the body to increase better blood flow and movement of fluids. It is used primarily for injuries and pain, but can also be used for conditions such as menstrual pain and constipation.

  • Tui Na is a form of medical bodywork that is used in the same way that physiotherapy/osteopathy is used to treat the body. Although the techniques are similar to other forms of bodywork, Tui Na uses the principles and diagnostics of Chinese medicine to guide treatment.

  • Moxibustion is a therapy that entails the burning of mugwort leaves. This practice is derived from Chinese medicine and its purpose is to strengthen the blood, stimulate flow of Qi/energy and maintain good health. Moxibustion can be used to enhance healing with Acupuncture.
