Hi, I'm Alison Odey. I've been operating a Naturopathic & Osteopathic clinic in Papamoa since 1989. Now named 'Naturally Holistic Health' as I feel that this best describes what I do, as all treatments are a blend of many therapies.
I am the mother of two grown children and grandmother of three and I first studying with the New Zealand Naturopathic College in 1988, with subjects ranging from massage, Naturopathy, Shiatsu to Reflexology. Later I studied Iridology, the use of herbs and then Osteopathy.
My home-based business began as a simple massage clinic but soon evolved further as my skills developed. My work has been termed 'eclectic', a term I quite like as the dictionary meaning is 'drawing from many schools'.
Today I use a blend of therapies but the focus is always on treating the body as a whole. While everyone is unique, their mental or physical problems their own, I believe good nutrition, body balance and spinal alignment can be a good first step to treating health issues from within.
My consultations usually last about three quarters of an hour and I try to keep costs and further appointments to a minimum. The emphasis is on teaching each person to be well rather than relying on practitioner appointments.
I see a huge variety of people at the clinic, from all backgrounds, of all ages... but each one has something in common - a desire to help themselves and a strong determination to be well.
