A little bit about me and the services I offer you.

​

Welcome!

 

My name is Socrates and I am a qualified and experienced Naturopath, Bowen Therapist and Scar Tissue Release practitioner.

 

As a holistic healthcare practitioner, my aim is to significantly enhance the health and vitality of my clients by identifying and addressing the root causes.  Given the right environment, the human body has an incredible self-healing capability.  I am here to guide you in creating an optimal environment to encourage self-healing and progressing towards better health and vitality.

​

I've had a lifelong interest in health and wellness, especially in the prevention and treatment of illness by utilising the body's inherent healing capabilities.  This led me to study a Bachelor of Health Science majoring in Naturopathy at Endeavour College of Natural Health.  This four year full-time program is recognised by the Australian Qualifications Framework as meeting the educational requirements to join a relevant association and practice as a recognised Naturopath in Australia.  It involved extensive studies in health sciences (biological and clinical sciences, pathophysiology, biochemistry, nutritional biochemistry and pharmacology) and advanced studies in dietetics, clinical nutritional medicine and clinical herbal medicine, including naturopathic philosophy, principles and practice.

 

Following the completion of my Naturopathy degree, I undertook further studies in the bodywork field and completed the Diploma of Specialised Bowen Therapy through Bowen Training Australia. This gentle, yet very effective technique, has equipped me with an amazing technique to help my clients resolve conditions relating to musculoskeletal or related neurological problems including acute sports injuries and chronic or organic conditions.  Rounding off the bodywork skills, I undertook additional studies in the McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release Technique (MSTR®) to help address pain and restrictions caused by scar tissue.

 

How my own personal health journey has shaped the way I practice today.

​

Prior to making the decision to pursue a career in the complementary medicine field, I worked for many years in a high stress corporate role. The lifestyle I lead during this time was not conducive to good health and ultimately resulted in the deterioration of my health and well-being over time.  I found that conventional medical treatments did not provide all the answers to some of the health problems that I faced at the time, so I sought assistance from various complementary medicine practitioners.  Many of the treatments I received helped to address various aspects of my health and wellness through diet and lifestyle modifications, the use of nutritional and herbal medicines, homeopathic medicines, flower essence therapy and Bowenwork (also known as Bowen Therapy).  This personal experience provided me the opportunity to obtain a deeper personal understanding of some of the underlying causes of ill health from a mental, emotional and physical aspect. Combining my clinical experience with the lessons learnt on my own wellness journey, it has given me a unique understanding of the complex nature of ill health and that a one size fits all approach to health doesn't help to address and resolve the problem. As everyone is unique, I offer personalised care to my clients to suit the individuals' needs.
