Triangle of Health

Imagine your overall wellbeing as three sides of a triangle – structural, nutritional and emotional. These three elements are all linked and must work in harmony for complete balance. Each side of the triangle can be affected by the pressures of daily life, and it is important to recognise when one may not be fully functioning, as this can ultimately affect another.

Structural – Your body can be physically affected by injury. A broken ankle may lead to less exercise causing possible weight gain and emotional issues.

Nutritional – Your digestive system will only function properly if you are eating well. A poor diet packed with chemicals and refined foods can lead to a hormonal imbalance, lack of energy and skin problems.

Emotional – Traumas that stem from childhood or more recent events may subconsciously affect your overall wellbeing. They may be underlying, causing you back pain from slouching or loss of appetite from worrying.

I can help you balance the triangle, restore your health naturally, giving you an overall sense of wellbeing.
