Wellness Within
Reduce Fat, Improve Health

Bioimpedance Analysis provides a graphical explanation of precise fat mass, muscle mass and quality as well as cellular health.  It’s an excellent motivator of compliance in lifestyle changes and assists in the progress of patients with toxicity and inflammation by detecting the amount of fluid ‘leaking’ from the cells.Reducing body fat greatly improves health benefits involving diabetes, cardiovascular risk, insulin resistance and joint pathology.


Saliva Hormone Testing

Gives an insight into the prevention of breast, ovarian and prostate cancer.  It also provides insight into menstrual irregularities, menopause and infertility.

Adequate levels and an appropriate balance of the hormones (Cortisol, DHEAS, Oestrone, Oestriol, Melatonin, Progesterone, Testosterone) are necessary for maintaining optimal health and well being in both females and males.

This family of hormones supports a large range of essential physiological functions including, blood lipid balance, bone mineral density, fertility, sexuality, a general sense of well-being as well as certain aspects of balanced brain functioning.


Menopause need not be a worrying time

It is the normal physiological cessation of menstruation, characterized by a decrease in oestrogen secretion.  Knowing your body and how hormone levels have an affect on the body gives you and your practitioner an insight on how to manage a variety of symptoms. Symptoms include hot flushes, sleeplessness, mood or emotional changes such as anger or depression, not to mention feelings of tiredness and exhaustion.  Other symptoms may include unusual bleeding or you may have a history of fibroids, cysts, breast lumps or endometriosis.

Aims of treatment:
To assist the body to adjust to the new hormone environment, decrease mood swings and assist emotional transition by supporting oestrogen withdrawal as well as the adrenal cortex which is involved in the stress response.  The more stressful our lives, the more apparent our menopausal symptoms will be.

This can be achieved by taking herbal medicines such as Rehmannia, Sage, Chaste Tree, and Black Cohosh to name a few.  Other nutritional supplements include vitamin D, Calcium and Vitamin E and Magnesium as well as the essential fatty acids (omega-3,6 and 9).

Testimonials

"I started seeing Lea July 2010 for well being and eventually weight loss, unfortunately at the time and still to the present I have been on 1/2 a Lexapro tablet a day for Anxiety Attacks, which started late 2009. Since November 2010 Lea has been wonderful working with me with Homeopathy and Counselling. There was even one day I was going out to see Lea, my husband was driving thank goodness, because I had an attack come from no where, we had to stop 3 times in Midland and then run into Coles to grab a paper bag because I couldn't breath, my heart was racing, I was sweating and extremely agitated. I did eventually get to my appointment with Lea and by the time I left, other than feeling tired, I was feeling great. Lea has taught me to breath. Lea has had me on 30 drops of LM Argentum morning and night, I carry instra stress relief, just in case. Lea has also had me on various other things to help me relax but also to give me energy. When Lea emailed me with a newsletter regarding all that was available at yes2life, introducing Lea to yes2life there was an introduction on  what  Lea offers to people, I emailed her back and told her I was dissappointed that she had not mentioned her work with Anxietys. Lea has been remarkable with the work she has achieved with me, I would highly recommend her to anyone. I am still on the Lexapro, although I know Lea would be happy for me to come of it but I am just not ready yet. I am the strongest mentally that I have been in more than 20 years and Lea deserves a big thank you for that."

In October 2009 I had a consulation with Lea in which we discussed my past medical history, diet and lifestyle. I then commenced a six week course of anti viral herbal formula and a high protein diet. The second week of treatment I felt tired and sick but this quickly passed and I began to feel that I had energy again. Within three weeks I was sleeping better, felt energised and the swelling and pain in my joints disappeared. Following my treatment I also stopped catching every virus and cold which was going around, and all the symptoms of glandular fever and Ross River Virus disappeared. To date these symptoms have not reoccured.

During my consultations with Lea we discussed my medical history of polycystic ovarian syndrome and my desire to establish a regular menstral cycle in order to fall pregnant in the future. I was diagnosed with severe polycystic ovarian syndrome when I was 13 years old. My periods commenced regularly at 12 years old but within 8 months I stopped getting periods and experienced severe abdominal cramps. An ultrasound revealed my ovaries were covered with cysts and I was told by a gynocologist that it would be difficult for me to concieve and I may have to undergo IVF in order to get pregnant. Once my six week anti viral treatment was completed and I felt well enough, Lea prescribed a herbal treatment to stimulate my hormones to produce ovulation.

I took the herbal treatment for 14 days before I began to experience soft abdominal cramping. I did a pregnancy test which showed I had concieved. This was confirmed by blood tests and I now have a beautiful healthy baby boy. This was the first time I had ovulated since I was 13 years old. To add to this miracle the ultrasounds of my ovaries since taking the herbal treatments prescribed by Lea show that I no longer have any visible cysts on either of my ovaries. The amazing results I have experienced were compounded by the holistic, sensitive, caring and personalised care I received by Lea. I continue to recommend Lea to all my friends and family members who are trying to conceive as the results speak for themselves.

One of my friends who has been trying to concieve after many trials, has also taken the same herbal prescribed by Lea to stimulate ovulation and after 7 days has concieved.~ Chelsea-Anne Osborne"

Hi Lea,
"I feel so great on this eating plan and have more energy now than I have had in years.  My strength has increased greatly and I had lost a dress size already, and it's only been a month! ~ Kim"

"Thank you Lea for your hard work and determination to get to the bottom of my health causes.  I was able to lose 6kg in 3 weeks and get back on the path to good health.  I feel lighter and just generally feel better within myself after you prescribed the natural products.  Even my husband noticed big improvements with my moods, and for him to notice it must be a big deal!"

Thanks again.
