Holistic Health Guide Sunshine Coast- Holistic Medicine, Natural Therapies, Natural Health

About Us

Hi everyone, our names are Fiona and Lyn and we live here in this beautiful part of the country called the Sunshine Coast. Our passion for Natural Health inspired us to create this website, in the hope that we could not only promote many of the talented Healers and Natural Therapists we have met here on the Sunshine Coast, but to be of assistance to the many hundreds of people in this area alone, that are turning to Natural Therapists and Spiritual Healers for guidance and advice. More and more people are waking up to the fact that conventional medicine is not all it has been made out to be. We have both been interested in holistic health for many years- finding ourselves turning to Naturopaths over medical doctors quite early in life. As the years have gone by we have gained a deeper respect for and better understanding of just how powerful Natural Therapies can be. We now understand that we are not just a physical body, but also an energetic and spiritual body and it is with all of these combined that Natural Therapists carry out their work. It is exciting to see the amount of different Holistic Therapies that are available to all of us here on the Sunshine Coast.
More About Lyn For me, it was our daughter’s eczema that had me turning, at the age of 22, to Natural Therapies. At 18 months old the eczema on her feet became so chronic that we had to keep lace up boots on her 24 hours a day. Bath time was an absolute nightmare, as the instant I took her shoes off she would do everything she could to get to her feet and scratch, not relieved of the itchiness until they were bleeding. I couldn’t turn my back or take my eyes off her for one second. Her feet were constantly becoming infected.
Each time I would go to the doctor and each time I would come home in tears. “There was nothing I could do except wait for her to grow out of it”, they would tell me and in the meantime, “give her 15mls of phenergan every night before bed” (which I am ashamed now to say, that I did). It would make no difference at all though, I would still get woken up most nights to the sound of her crying after she had managed to escape from her boots and scratch her feet to pieces. Finally after months of desperately searching for cures, someone suggested I try a Dietician, which I did. He taught me about the salysilates and amines in food and how they affect some people more than others. He gave me a strict diet to put her on and to my amazement, 24 hrs later she was a completely different child. It turned out that certain fruits and vegetables I had been feeding her were doing her the most harm. After months of dosing her up with antihistamine at the doctor’s suggestion, it was a simple diet change that answered our problems and changed our lives for the better. Her eczema didn’t disappear over night but the itchiness did and that was all that mattered! Around this same time, out of sheer exhaustion, I booked into a Health Retreat where I learnt a lot about diet and the body’s potential to heal itself. I learnt that everything is curable, even cancer! I saw the most amazing thing while I was there. The lady who ran the retreat had been on a cleansing diet for almost 7 years. Incredibly, the new growth at the roots of her grey hair was all coming back brown, after years of being grey. It was seeing this with my own eyes that really blew me away and made me realize the power each and every one of us has over our own health and wellbeing.
More About Fiona When my son Nick was born with heart problems 16 years ago, I took him straight to see a Homeopath who treated him for a few years. During this time, at his regular checkups, the Cardiologist would comment at how amazed he was at Nick’s progress and the reduction in size of the major hole in his heart. He was quite staggered at the results he was seeing.
Because of his heart problems – we had to be extremely careful of any infection getting into the heart. For example, before any dental work he was given a course of antibiotics. As you can imagine, over the years he had many courses of antibiotics and eventually built up a resistance to them. The doctors would prescribe antibiotics readily because of Nick’s heart, when normally they wouldn’t be necessary. Unaware that there might be an alternative, we would go along with these recommendations. Nick also had a chronic green runny nose when he was around 4 years old, which had lasted for around 3 months. I took him to an ENT Specialist, who after prescribing a number of different antibiotics, none of which cleared up his runny nose, politely told me that conventional medicine could really do nothing more for Nick. At this time I went straight back to the Homeopath. Within 3 days his nose had cleared up completely. Why didn’t I do this in the first place!! The Homeopath suggested I take him off cows milk, which I did and changed his diet quite drastically. Nick has never looked back.
