"Each patient carries his own doctor inside him" (Albert Schweitzer)
 
Through seeking answers to her own health issues, Helen developed an interest in complementary and alternative medicine.  She has a keen interest in learning and is passionate about the health benefits of natural medicine especially in its role of prevention of chronic disease.  She regularly undertakes further professional training to keep up with the latest advances in natural therapies, the medications she prescribes and to generally expand her knowledge as a health practitioner.    
 
Hemaview Practitioner
Helen is an accredited Hemaview Live Blood Screening practitioner.  Live blood screening uses just one drop of your blood taken by a simple finger prick.  This is put under the microscope and the picture is projected onto a large screen for you both to see and discuss.  You will see how this "window" into the state of your health can be used effectively to devise a tailored treatment program.   After treatment, another examination can be done and you can see the changes for yourself. 
 
Seeing is believing!   
 
"Although we can't change our genes many conditions can be prevented from developing by following a healthy diet and lifestyle.    I aim to educate and empower patients with the knowledge and skills required to take control of their health in order to achieve optimal health and vitality at all stages of their lives."  Helen Karambalis
 
Prevention is the best medicine! 
Helen has a keen interest in Wellness and Preventative Medicine through all stages of life - preconception care through to old age.
  • Preconception care works with prospective parents to create the best possible conditions for creating a healthy baby. 
  • Adolescents and adults live very busy lives and although their needs may be different both age groups can sometimes neglect their health.
  •  Healthy ageing, good memory and warding off disability are long term benefits of achieving optimal health.   
Children
Treating children is of special interest to me.  I prefer to use safe, natural remedies for children such as homoeopathic remedies, tissue salts and celloids and can teach parents how to use these remedies as a first choice for common uncomplicated ailments such as a cold, a sprained ankle or teething difficulties. 
 
Preconception and Pregnancy Care  
Producing a healthy baby depends on both the mother's and father's health.  If you are planning to have a baby it is best to prepare well in advance of becoming pregnant.  Helen can design programs to improve the health of sperm and the ovum so that a healthy embryo is produced.  This can be followed through with good health during pregnancy and the joy of a healthy baby. 
Helen can help identify and correct factors that may be affecting male or female fertility.
