We currently live in a chronic disease epidemic that is primarily caused by inflammation.

We become chronically inflamed when we don't give our body the chance to catch up with the toxic or infectious load that is imposed by our environment, diet and lifestyle choices.

Our integrative practitioners at OHE utilise functional testing and pathology to identify how inflammation is impacting your body.

Jeanette our Functional Medicine Health Coach tailors anti-inflammatory diets and detox programs to YOU. This ensures you are receiving a program that fits into your specific goals and lifestyle needs.

Shannon is a holistic Chiropractor with over 16 years of clinical experience treating a diverse range of clients.

During that time Shannon has become a specialist in the Mind-Body connection in the areas of Women's health and chronic illness.

Through her own health challenges in recovering from a chronic illness, Shannon understands the complexities of health and the need for an integrative approach. The years during and after her illness and recovery gave her a deep understanding of what it means to face a life-threatening disease.

Consequently she has become fascinated by the emotional experience of illness. It fuelled a lifelong exploration into spiritual growth, meditation and the mind-body connection.

Shannon loves working together to uncover what you might be holding onto (subconscious belief patterns) that are being stored as stress in your body.

Shannon has a strong belief in supporting and empowering women to nurture their Mind-Body connection in order to live a calm, connected and inspired life.

Candice Pert's research and subsequent book - ‘The Molecules of Emotion’ offers insight into the mind-body connection and the way in which emotions create a physiological response in our bodies.

Emotions are repressed when people haven't been given the opportunity to release their emotions as it wasn't safe to do so, there wasn't enough time, there wasn't anyone there for them who understood their experience or they were taught to “get on with it”. Subsequently these repressed emotions can manifest as symptoms or disease as ‘the body keeps the score’.

This is where Neuro-emotional Technique can be a powerful tool for ascertaining unprocessed emotion or trauma that is being held in the body. These emotions can then be released and is often processed with a physiological response from the body with sweating, heat or tears. NET is not a talk through therapy but a somatic approach to healing unresolved emotions or trauma.
