Families are the core of health communities. If families are stable, and family members emotionally well adjusted, know how to communicate well amongst themselves, can resolve conflict and work together to assure the success of all the members of the family unit, it will in turn build a stronger community and thus a better society as a whole.

Reflexology is an holistic healing technique based on the premise that the entire body is mirrored on the feet through a system of reflexes.  The aim of a reflexologist is to stimulate these reflexes utilising a specialised and specific form of therapeutic foot massage and thereby triggering the body to return to a state of homeostasis, where balance is brought back. 
This massage helps clear blockages and encourages vital body energy to flow unimpeded. Reflexology has the potential to impact on the whole person so therapists do not diagnose or isolate a disease and treat it symptomatically, nor do they work specifically on a problem organ or system. 
As the feet represent a microcosm of the body, all the organs, glands and other body parts are laid out in a similar pattern on the feet. Pressure is applied to the reflex areas using thumb and finger techniques. This causes physiological changes to take place as the body's inner healing potential is activated. 
The roots of reflexology are embedded way back in ancient history when pressure therapies were recognised as preventative and therapeutic modalities in daily life. Evidence indicates that therapeutic foot massage has been practiced throughout history by a variety of cultures. A widely held theory is that reflexology originated in China over 5 000 years ago and was also practiced by Egyptians, Babylonians and early Europeans. However, Eunice Ingham (1879 - 1974) is considered the mother of modern reflexology as she revived the practice in the United States. Reflexology is now taught by numerous schools around the world and has become a widely used and respected healing modality.

Therapeutic massage therapy (TMT) uses one of the oldest form of healing known to man, namely touch. This works well for physical rehabilitation and emotional nurturing by influencing anatomical structure, physiological function, psychological states and emotional health. The therapy also provides emotional nurturing to assist patients in dealing with the consequences of unnaturally high levels of stress.
 TMT encompasses a wide variety of styles, approaches and techniques including deep tissue, orthopaedic, medical, remedial, relaxation, sports, connective tissue, myofascial, wellness and holistic massage.
Until recently massage was viewed as part of the leisure and beauty sector but is now acknowledged as capable of playing a role in the  prevention as well as the treatment of a wide variety of conditions. TMT is considered as a relevant, viable and safe treatment option for stress management, repetitive strain disorders, post-operative musculoskeletal rehabilitation, general rehabilitation and maintenance of the soft tissue to prevent wear and tear on the skeletal system, general health maintenance to prevent degenerative conditions; biomechanical wear and tear to preserve the integrity of the body structures, management of degenerative diseases such as arthritis, diabetes and multiple sclerosis, pre-and-post sports care, emotional and psychological disorders and as a form of palliative care for patients suffering from a terminal illness.

HIV & AIDS and related illnesses are on the increase with exposure to these and other illnesses and virusses being more pronounced in our modern society. These conditions don't just have a physical effect on the individual but also a psychological, existential and relationship effects an fallouts on the individual. Many times the docters and specialists can help with the symptoms and and advise on health living but lack the skills and/or knowledge to support the individual in terms of the emotional and psychological aspects of these deseases and illnesses. The counselling we do focusses on the changes that needs to happen and management of the effects of these illnesses on your daily life and living. We can also recommend certain herbal remedies and supplements to support and strenghthen the immune systems and that can help to manage the symptoms of individuals with HIV/AIDS and related conditions. In most cases individuals find it difficult to discus these illnesses with family, loved ones or friends out of fear of judgement or rejection, thus seeing an independent individual that understands the condition and knows the effects it has is very helpfull to most clients.

Plants and herbs have played a significant role in medicine since prehistoric times and were used extensively by the ancient Greeks, Chinese, Indians and Egyptians - and many other aboriginal societies. Knowledge of the healing power of plants was traditionally handed down from generation to generation by tribal herbalists. The Greek physician Hippocrates made a list of over 400 plant remedies, and apothecary Nicholas Culpepper (1616-1654) became famous for his book on herbal remedies. 
Although herbal medicine was temporarily eclipsed by the advent of modern pharmaceuticals, it has recently experienced a resurgence in popularity in the West and is today one of the fastest-growing health trends.
Also known as phytotherapy, herbal medicine involves the preparation of the roots, leaves, stems and seeds of plants, either for consumption in the form of medicine or for use on the skin in the form of balms and ointments. Plants act in a variety of ways. They can be used for cleansing, eliminating and detoxifying as well as for stimulating the body's self-healing capacity and to boost immunity and resistance to disease.
The pharmaceutical industry owes much to the plant kingdom. Many synthetic drugs are based on the active ingredients found in plants. These active ingredients are isolated, imitated, refined and marketed as drugs. But it is often the whole plant, not just the active ingredient, which has the beneficial action as the plant constituents work synergistically to stimulate the body's healing capacity.
Many medicinal plants have highly beneficial therapeutic properties and can be used to treat a wide range of symptoms and diseases. While some people consult a trained medical herbalist, most people use herbal medicines to self-medicate for prevention or treatment of common ailments.
A variety of herbal preparations is available over-the-counter in health shops, pharmacies and supermarkets.
 Although generally considered safe, it is important to be aware that herbal medicines contain active ingredients, which can be toxic if taken in excess and can also interact with prescription medications. With the growing popularity of herbal products, more research is currently being conducted into their safety and efficacy.
