Our unique approach to health and wellness came from our personal experiences with our own health challenges, researching the latest science and protocols, and learning to sequence interventions and information in a way that simplifies what you need to do to realise your health goals. We are an integrated team of natural health care professionals, including chiropractic kinesiologists, acupuncturists and health coaches. We believe that great health begins with preconception care and ends when you let go of your body. We are here to support you and your family through the challenges of life as we all navigate a world that is changing rapidly.. We understand that healing requires energy and the fast-paced lifestyle of today can often lead to burnout.
That’s why we are the most experienced users of energy medicine in Australia. Our protocols incorporate laser therapy, iMRS PEMF Therapy, Brainwave Entrainment therapy, infrared sauna, and Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) to accelerate the body’s natural healing process. As a team, we start each day by meditating and focusing our intent on the underlying intelligence of life that creates the healing in every individual. Our goal is to inspire and share greater health, love, happiness, and conscious awareness.
We are an integrated group of natural health care professionals, including integrative chiropractors, kinesiologists, acupuncturists, nutritionist and energy therapists.
At Optimum Health Essentials, we take a holistic approach to health, going beyond symptoms to isolate the root cause of the imbalance in your body and provide solutions that will help you achieve both your short- and long-term goals.
Whether you have an annoying niggle of pain or a more chronic condition, our holistic approach helps you find the underlying cause and get back to doing what you love.
Healing the body is about understanding how all the parts fit together.
“Everything is connected to everything” and although some symptoms can look the same, underlying causes can vary dramatically. Headaches, back pain, shoulder pain, irritable bowel syndrome, even allergies can all have physical, emotional, nutritional and/or toxicity as underlying causes.
“Life is like a photograph; we develop from the negatives.
“Hurt is a state, and it is interpreted through your stage or level of consciousness. As you evolve, your relationship to your wounds naturally shifts. More than any other single barometer, what you do with your hurt reveals to you and others your genuine level of consciousness.”
Marc Gafni – Your Unique Self
Your level of consciousness is the set of implicit organising principles that create your world view. At early developmental stages your consciousness is powerfully influenced by your conscious and unconscious wounds. The unresolved feelings from these wounds become the default settings with which we react to life e.g. fear, guilt, anger or pride. When we heal our wounds, and they no longer define us, we tend to respond to life with confidence and kindness.
We are less motivated by or egoic needs for recognition, power, competition and pleasure and are more connected to our Soul Self, which is inspired by the quality of our relationships, communal and world needs.
At the higher levels we can feel connection to the underlying field of intelligence working through you in the process of evolution, utilising your unique gifts and perspectives. A great resource for understanding these concepts is:
Letting Go by David Hawkins.
Optimising your mind is a lot more than just mindfulness, breathing techniques or taking medication to suppress unwanted feelings. These all have a place, but a skilled practitioner understands that similar states and symptoms can require very different approaches.
Our practitioners are trained to understand that in dealing with a person’s state of mind they may need to:
We often deal with the build-up of emotions and feelings that happen because people often haven’t been given the opportunity to release their emotions as it wasn’t safe to do so, their wasn’t enough time, there wasn’t anyone there for them who understood their experience, or they were taught to “get on with it”.
It takes a lot of energy to manage all these unresolved thoughts and feelings. Many people think that they “have moved on” but what we now understand is that “the body keeps the score”. Subsequently many symptoms and diseases have underlying emotional causes.
Great resources to understand this include:
Using the tool of muscle testing as a biofeedback tool, and utilising a technique called Neuroemotional Technique, we can efficiently ascertain the emotion and the body sensations of unprocessed trauma being held in the body. The energy of this trauma can then be released and is often processed with a wave of tears, sweating, heat, changes in breathing and with words that have often never been expressed. This process doesn’t require in depth analysis as NET is not a “talk through” therapy but a somatic approach to healing unresolved trauma. Our clients may need to explore and understand their thoughts and feelings further and for this we refer to psychologists or other mental health professionals.
Secondly, we offer health and life coaching which will often involve muscle testing as this can be used to locate limiting beliefs and “emotionally congruency” with statements. E.g. If a client says a statement “I’m ok being healthy” but tests weak to this statement, they may be in a psychological reversal. This means that their unconscious nervous system ie their limbic or reptilian brain would prefer to be unwell as it supports an underlying need eg as a child their mother only gave them undivided attention when they were sick so they have learnt to be sick in order to get the undivided attention or love from others. This approach can be utilised for health, relationship, career or financial mindset coaching and is very helpful when clients feel “stuck” in repeating cycles or are in a transition and need to reduce stress to think creatively.
We believe in a family system approach to being healthy. Each generation in a family influences the other in more ways than we can imagine. We commonly see three generations of a family in our office and it’s amazing how healing an emotional trauma in one generation can influence the behaviour and emotional state of another.
Healing and health optimisation works best when everyone is on the same page and health and vitality is an important goal for everyone.
Kids are always modelling what their parents do and what they choose to invest their time and energy in. Keeping your family healthy can be fun and incredibly informative. Kids love to work through their issues and express what’s going on for themselves. Having a safe place to do that and feeling empowered with their health creates healthier kids with purpose and passion who take more responsibility for their own health over time. Family healthcare begins prenatally and ends when your soul leaves your body. It’s about keeping your system in balance and evolving to grow through the life stressors that change with every stage and life transition.
We love sharing our retreats with parents and children and this experience can be incredibly healing and life enriching. Specifically for children we address alignment and postural issues, delayed development, fine and gross motor problems, anxiety, concentration, behavioural issues, digestive function and poor immunity.
Our approach incorporates gentle chiropractic techniques, cranio-pelvic balancing, retained neonatal reflex integration, dietary and nutritional support, and Neuroemotional Technique.
Optimising movement, diet, detoxification and mindset creates the physiological conditions for increased healthspan (i.e. how long you stay in great health in your life). No one wants to spend the last 30% of their life suffering, but unfortunately this is an all-too-common occurrence. In fact according to the ABS, 58.7% of people between 15-44yo have at least one chronic health condition.
These statistics have been getting worse every decade. We need to all start taking a much greater responsibility for our health, our food production and the health of our planet.
We support regenerative farming, organic and local food systems, ethically produced meats and a greater accountability for toxic and largely unregulated industries involved with personal care products, plastics and pharmaceuticals.
Our integrative Mind-Body Approach is trusted by High-Level Athletes, Performance Artists, and Business Executives to Overcome Physical and Mental Blocks, Optimise Nutrition and utilise Biohacks, for increased energy, optimal well-being and goal realisation.
