Chronic Pain treatment viewed through a "Wide Angle Lens"
What I offer you is very much a generalist point of view. Yes, I have for many years specialised in treating chronic pain but my viewpoint, my lens is very wide from my career as a natural therapist.
​
Presently I've joined Howard Schubiner to learn his process of Freedom From Chronic Pain. His philosophy of neural circuit disorder actually explains my many successes of freeing clients from pain.

Study of the medical methodology and philosophy, as a postgraduate, helps me understand the pain journey that clients or patients had in the proceeding months or years before I met them.
​
Unfortunately most clinicians and medical specialist change my 'wide angle view' into a magnifying glass and see only the physical part of a person who has chronic pain. The often mentioned 'biopsychosocial model' seems to get stuck on the biological methods rather than the mind body holistic ideas of health.

Women and Wealth Meeting
Tuesday Evening I went to a meeting "Women's Wealth". Yep, just for women.It was a real pleasure to be able to talk about shares and investments to another person without seeing that "glazed look" in their eyes.

Also Georgia Heard told her story about the fabulous work being done by the Champion Centre in Christchurch. It's a community of specialist and experts working with infants and pre-schoolers with disabilities.

Her life changed when her two year old son developed autism. She described how she had been helped with not only treatment for her son but support and education for her as a parent.

Go Green Expo at Horncastle Arena

Charlie and I are going to the Go Green Expo to promote the Rockit Boards.
We got a phone call on Monday to ask whether we could help promote the Rockit Boards as the new owner could not make it down this weekend.

I am going along to help Charlie out.

If you are stuck for something to do, then why not drop in to the expo and have a play on the boards.

Try a little bit of Zumba on the Rockit Board.

Brain Fog
It seems that I'm not the only person having a few memory recall problems. The most interesting thing is that the harder you try to remember
the deeper the memory hides away. Ten minutes later it's waving at you saying "Here I am".

That's why I've decided to organise some workshops to help us all improve, memory, focus, concentration and all the other fabulous things our brain does for us.
And we don't even notice until it stops being so amenable. Wednesday 29th July is the next one, in Riccarton Christchurch.
