Facial Reflexology Sorensensistem TM
With Nikke Ariff  Cert ECBS, AoR, LCIC, D.N Med
PA marriage of Eastern and South American healing traditions and neurology, Facial Reflexology SorensensistemTM works on the basis that the face is the front of the brain, which is the control centre of the body. By working on facial body maps, FRS seeks to initiate a re-balancing process within the individual to restore homeostasis and therefore, better health.The face is also an organ of communication and as a result, the aesthetic benefit of working on the face for a full 45 minutes is an important “I look good therefore I feel great about myself” factor.In this one-day introductory workshop, Nikke will explain the history and underlying principles of Facial Reflexology SorensensistemTM. There will be a demonstration of a basic 7-stage treatment. This workshop is an opportunity to learn some practical skills, which will be useful in your general therapeutic practice. www.AllAboutNaturalMedicine.com

Four Constitutions & Temperaments
A Two Day Workshop With Salim Khan and Philip Weeks

Did you know there is a way to understand yourself and your patients that is more than 2,000 years old and yet little used today? If you are a health practitioner this workshop will give you a fascinating insight into the temperaments and characters of your patients. Whether your patient is predominantly sanguine, melancholic, phlegmatic or choleric can have a major influence on the causes, development and treatment of dis-ease. Understanding the patterns of physical, emotional and mental health of these 4 basic temperaments can help you to understand both your patients and yourself better.

Over the course of the weekend:
1. Learn about the 4 Humours and Temperaments.
2. Learn how to identify an individual constitution, which will form an important foundation to lifestyle and herbal prescriptions.
3. Learn how the 4 Humours are reflected in personality and emotions. Understanding the constitution of an individual is the foundation of all classical traditions of medicine, whether it is Western Herbal Medicine from Greece and Europe or Ayurveda, Traditional Arabic Medicine (TIBB) and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This day is especially useful for herbalists, homeopaths, naturopaths and nutritionists, although anyone is welcome to participate. Understanding the dynamics within yourself and your patients is the foundation of a successful practice. The day is presented by two highly respected and experienced practitioners.
