Her motto is simple- ‘empowering you beyond survive, to thrive’.
Abstract:
Sharon Tal will be presenting her talk on ‘How to move beyond survive to thrive’. This will entail the following topics, ‘The Benefits Of Kinesiology and Muscle Testing in Clearing Emotional Traumas’, ‘Amygdala & The Fight, Flight & Freeze Response Of The Body’, ‘The Importance of Magnesium And Other Tips In Recovering Adrenal Fatigue’, as well as ‘Enabling Better Hydration Into The Cells’.
Kinesiology is a modality based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and Chiroptic. There are a wide range of tools kinesiologists use to measure the level of stress a client is experiencing and then relieving the stress so that one can live optimally. Kinesiology will benefit a person’s wellness overall and will lead to a more balanced life. Muscle testing provides a bio-feedback system of the muscles in the body.
In times of stress and trauma, the body stimulates the adrenal glands that activates a meridian that is called the ‘triple warmer’. This in turn, effects the adrenal and thyroid glands and the temperature regulation in the body, resulting in extreme stress, tiredness, dread, terror etc.
As the adrenal glands are sitting physically above the kidneys, it can create and cause dehydration. Utilizing magnesium will calm the nervous system and will ultimately relax the muscles that will enable a body recovery into normal function.
Sharon will help empower you, ‘beyond survive, to thrive’ via meditations, tips and tools which have been developed during her 20 years of practice.

Abstract:
Reflexology is an ancient modality that has seen resurgence since the late 1800’s and more till today. It is a unique form of healing as, by working feet, hands and face, the depths of the body are reached, both physically and mentally. Research, using Doppler sonography and fMRI, shows that working specific reflexes on the feet increases activity in the organ worked as well as in the section of the brain that relates to that organ. Foot and hand reflexology were researched by Eunice Ingham over a period of some 30 years. She extensively mapped the body on both feet and hands based on feedback from clients during and after the treatment. Working on the face for healing has been practiced across cultures and continents. Facial reflexology today has two main streams. Dr. Prof. Bùi Quôc Châu, adapted auricular acupuncture to facial acupuncture and eventually to facial acupressure. He used various projections of the body on the face. Years of research led to the creation of effective treatment formulas using points and zones on the face. He called this method as Dien Chan. Lone Sorenson created facial reflexology sorensensistem. Lone, an Avid student of Natural therapies witnessed many healing traditions across the world including Asian cultures and South American tribes. Chosen and selected techniques from these ancient healing arts have created an effective modality that reaches deep into the body. Reflexology today is a vibrant modality.

Cassie Atkinson-Quinton
Body and Brain Centre
Keynote: SEA-sickness: the spine, eyes and ears involvement in dizziness and nausea
Time : 13:50-14:40 P.M
Biography:
Dr Cassie is an integrative Chiropractor and neuro-rehabilitation therapist. Director of Body and Brain Centre, a premier multidisciplinary clinic in Moonee Ponds, Melbourne, Cassie sees a variety of patients including developmental delays, dizziness, migraines and complex pain. She’s completed several post-graduate qualifications in the areas of developmental neurology, brain-based therapies, vestibular rehabilitation, sports chiropractic and functional brain scans.
Abstract:
Balance is a fundamental function that humans share with less evolved animals. It forms aprimitive building block for our elaborate, humanistic skills, such as working through complex problems. The balance system is complex: proprioceptive, vestibular and visual inputs are collated and manipulated to give an internal representation of our world. If one of these systems is dysfunctional, it can cause chaos throughout the body, including chronic pain, headaches, nausea, dizziness, fatigue and cognitive decline. These delicate systems can be disrupted by chemical, physical and emotional perturbations. For example, non-coeliac gluten sensitivity is increasingly being recognised by mainstream medicine, including as a cause of ataxia. There’s also increasing evidence for mild traumatic brain injuries and it’s involvement with vestibular dysfunction.
The function of each of these receptors and their collective processing can be assessed with physical examinations including visual inspection and simple bedside testing. More advanced tools, such as computerised dynamic posturography (computer balance assessments) and quantitative electroencephalograms (QEEG functional brain scans), can be used to further quantify and trackchanges in hyper- or hypo-functional areas of the brain and nervous system. These quantitative measures enhance our understanding of the “grey areas” in health concerns, such as chronic dizziness.

Session Introduction
Paul Turner
RMIT University, Australia
Title: Holism in Osteopathy – Bridging the gap between concept and practice: A grounded theory study
Biography:
Paul Turner has completed his Bachelor of Applied Science in Osteopathy and Bachelor of Health Science from RMIT University, Australia. He has been involved with education in manual therapies and conducting research exploring this relationship as well as to develop a theoretical framework model which helps bridge a perceived gap between holistic concept and its practical implementation.
Abstract:
Paul Turner presents some of the results of his research from a grounded theory study interviewing experienced osteopathic practitioners about their views on biomedical and holistic approaches as well as the relationship between any individual practitioners’ concept of holism and its practical implementation. This study also explored the role of education played in the understanding and practice of holism. These issues were important to investigate in order to develop a theoretical framework of holism which adequately explained these relationships and to provide a model of practice which may give insight into understanding, assessing and treating patients with chronic health issues. The theoretical framework identifies important relationships, not only between the tissues causing symptoms and the symptoms themselves but also between the tissues causing symptoms and other areas/components of the whole person (physical, energetic, emotional, mental, nutritional, environmental or other) which are potentially involved and which are collectively contributing to the entire ‘pattern of dysfunction’ within any individual patient, as well as how to recognize these other areas from clinical assessment. It is hoped that the theoretical framework of holism presented will provide a platform for future research to improve education (i.e., achieve a balance between holistic and biomedical elements) and health outcomes, particularly in the area of chronic health. Although participants were osteopaths and because the biomedical education and holistic principles form the basis of many health professions, the framework discussed has theoretical and practical implications applicable to many health professionals.

Abstract:
The world is going through a paradigm shift in its understanding of natural health sciences. The advances in technology such as “Google” easily allow the public to have full access to all forms of different health modalities. With new technological developments, we can analyze how illnesses form at a cellular level. This has revolutionized health sciences, so people are living longer, but unfortunately at the same time are not escaping chronic illnesses and pain, so whilst people live longer they are not necessarily living well. Dr. Davis (Director of the Cancer research unit and Founder of the Environmental Health Trust) noted in a recent talk, how the exposure to increased radioactive waves caused by new technologies was a contributing factor to people suffering from cancers, nervous disorders, memory loss and lack of concentration. Although people are mindful of the adverse effects of these rays, and how they may affect their health, there still seems to be no proven connection to these causes and we have no further advancement in prevention against them. I believe that the potential solution to these affects is to follow fundamental laws of nature and look at the eastern medical system. People are awakening to the responsibility of their own health and seek to be in charge in a partnership with their chosen healthcare professional. They are reaching more to the practices of natural therapy and ancient wisdom. In principle, practitioners of natural sciences can address a client’s family history, genetic factors, lifestyle, diet and social circumstances to land on the “core” health issue. This is clearly lacking in modern medicine as most often drugs are given to treat the discomfort but not to correct the cause. This in turn creates a loop of visits to Doctors with no real relief or sense of empowerment in the direction of one’s own wellbeing. As a natural health Ayurvedic practitioner, I focus on the root cause by working case to case to create physical, psychological and spiritual harmony in the human body. Ayurveda does this by improving and strengthening the immune system, reducing stress and cleansing the body, allowing it to expel the breeding ground for disease.
