The NNA Conference 2024 - A unique afternoon of Naturopathic Workshops
Published to Upcoming Events on Apr 09, 2024
We will have 4 workshops and you have time to attend 3 out of the 4 available:
Workshop 1 – Transformational Breathwork Techniques for you and your client.
Embark on a transformative journey with our Breathwork Workshop — a game-changer for practitioners seeking a renewed approach to wellness.
Say goodbye to overwhelm and exhaustion as you discover the power of some simple breathing techniques in practice. Witness how these techniques support your own well-being, keeping you present and grounded, but also provide a unique avenue to guide your clients from a stressed state to one of balance and receptivity.
So many of our clients are overwhelmed and perhaps not focusing on our advice or questions because their minds are in a different place. These are the clients who are less likely not to follow through with your protocol. We will teach you Breathwork techniques so you have another tool in that tool box to help foster compliance and elevate your practice.
Workshop 2 - Mental Health: Impact on chronic disease, case study and protocols
In this immersive experience, we'll explore the profound impact of chronic stress, neuroinflammation, and neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's within the context of naturopathic nutrition. We will also look at malnutrition, especially in the context of eating disorders, shedding light on its intricate relationship with mental health and the broader health implications.
You will discover the power of nutritional strategies in promoting mental well-being, offering a fresh perspective on enhancing both cognitive and emotional resilience within your practice.
Get ready to be an active participant in this dynamic workshop! Engage in stimulating discussions, ask questions, and collaborate on a real-life case study. Together, we'll craft a personalised and effective plan.
Workshop 3 - Iridology: Looking at genetics through the eyes
Discover the fascinating world of iridology and elevate your diagnostic expertise. The eyes reveal more than you can imagine both on a physical and emotional level — After all, they are the windows to the soul!
Join us for a workshop where you'll discover the secrets hidden within the eyes and learn the foundations of the iridology constitutions. You will also learn about key features and markings, and how to correctly interpret them, including the intricate various ‘rings,’ colours and pigments, and the importance of their location in the irides.
During the workshop, we will take pictures of some of your eyes and use these images to guide you through the constitutions together with their inherited strengths and weaknesses. With this insight, you can offer more tailored advice along with your own analysis to your clients.
We aim to give you the confidence to use these simple techniques in practice along with your nutritional expertise to provide more accurate therapeutic support for your clients.
Workshop 4 – Practical Herbals
Join us for our whistle stop Practical Herbal making session with Gabi Forrester, a seasoned Naturopath and Herbalist with 20 years experience, as she demonstrates the many ways in which herbs can restore balance and release stress.
During this workshop you will make your own:
- Relaxing Room Refresher: Learn how to blend Essential Oils and Bach flowers to create tranquility.
- Aphrodite’s Love Nuggets: Create adaptogenic balls of luurve, so you can enhance your va va voom.
- Lovely Lozenges: Soothe a seasonal sore throat with herbal pastilles.
