New Season, New Owner
Firstly,
all of us here at MNWC would like to wish everyone a happy and healthy
winter for 2007. Also, we would like to introduce you to the new owner
of Melbourne Natural Wellness Clinic.
After 10 successful years practicing in Sydneys Macquarie Street,
Linda Parker ND, moved to Melbournes Collins Street to start this
beautiful peaceful clinic and made it into a highly regarded business.
Linda has decided to make a change and concentrate on other areas of
her career and has handed over the clinic to Jodie Fleckney ( Coall )
one of the existing Massage Therapists.
As well as massaging, Jodie is a personal trainer and gives advice
as a Wellness Coach to bring you the best treatment for your needs!
This is Jodies second clinic and brings 9 years of health experience as
well as new ideas on programs, workshops, courses, retreats and
packages to help you get well and stay well! Jodie is very passionate
about prevention and maintaining a happy and healthy state of body and
mind! So come on in and have a massage or make that appointment with
your Naturopath that you have been putting off! We have a growing range
of services so jump on to the website to see what you have been missing
out on.
A note from Jodie
Hi Everyone! I would like to thank you all for your support of
MNWC. Also I would love to hear how we can help you more, so feel free
to email me some suggestions at jodie@mnwc.com.au.
If you know someone that isnt quite sure what they need or why they
need us, just have them call for some free wellness coaching, a few
simple questions and a quick chat about what is going on in their lives
and we can reccomend ways and methods to get them to be the best they
can be! See you soon,
Jodie
Cosmetic Acupuncture Coming Soon to MNWC!
How does Cosmetic Acupuncture work?
It involves the insertion of hair-thin needles into specific
meridians on the face and body to improve the flow of Qi (energy). This
greatly increases the flow of blood circulated to the face, which
in-turn nourishes, hydrates, tones and diminishes the appearance of
wrinkles. It also enhances the elasticity of the skin and its
underlying muscles for firmer and smoother skin. This gives rise to a
firmer, healthier and glowing skin complexion.
What kind of results can I expect?
Results with facial acupuncture are slower and less pronounced
than with a surgical face-lift. However, it is a less expensive and
safer option with no side effects. Don't expect immediate results as
you would from harsh treatments like peels or laser procedures. Do
expect a gradual increase in tone, more firmness (less sagging) and
softening of facial lines. Problem skin, such as dryness, acne or
rosacea can be improved or eliminated, particularly by combining
external treatment with internal approaches such as herbs, dietary and
other changes. Once the procedure is completed, results can last for 3
to 5 years. Maintenance treatments once a month can also be very
helpful in maintaining the benefits.
Shantell will be commencing her treatments at MNWC from the 23rd of June. Book now!

Medicine to MNWC with 10% off all initial consultations with Shantell
