Jane Carter

Naturopath

Certified Healing Touch Practitioner, ND, CHTP

Jane is a qualified Naturopath with a Registered Nursing background and 12 years clinical experience working in the naturopathic field. Naturopathic medicine is an ideal preventative and remedial health care option and may be complementary in assisting wellbeing in conjunction with conventional treatments. So often we experience the effects of disharmony in ourselves and I feel passionate about working in a field that encourages a return to balance and wellbeing, using the gifts of nature to assist that process.

Her clinical focus is herbal medicine, nutritional guidance and supplements, lifestyle choices, massage, energy healing (Healing Touch) and ear candelling. A naturopathic consultation includes a health profile and analysis, suggestions and/or recommendations about dietary advice, clinical nutrition, herbal medicine prescriptions, Bach Flower remedies and lifestyle and stress management strategies, if appropriate. Healing Touch is a complementary energy based therapy that encourages the clearing, aligning and balancing of the human energy system, influencing self-healing. Healing Touch may be utilised to promote general health and well being, relieve stress, tension, relieve neck and back problems, promote accelerated healing of wounds and fractures, assist with the healing of lymphatic problems and assist spiritual growth.

Jane also provides ear candling which is a gentle procedure using principles of warmth and movement, that may help to relieve sinus / middle ear congestion, relieve tinnitus and remove build-up of excess wax.
