SERVICES

Welcome to Pat's Healing Centre Pat's Healing Centre is a busy clinic for both people and animals and has been operating since 1995 in the main street of Waipu. We cater for you both in the clinic and in our shop.
Consult with Pat I prefer to have a consultation with you, so I can take your case fully and then design the best treatment for your specific health needs. You will have at least an hour to discuss fully any and every aspect of your health as you wish. I then discuss with you appropriate treatment/s. Your treatment programme will be selected from the following treatment options:
  • Herbal medicine – When using herbal medicine I blend 4 or 5 herbs together creating a medicine for your specific needs.
  • Homeopathic medicine - I use traditional homeopathic case-taking in order to find the one homeopathic which best fits you as a whole in order to enhance your health and resolve health issues.
  • Naturopathy and lifestyle advice
  • Dietary advice
  • Bach flowers
  • All the above available for animals too
  • Ear candling –Ear candling is a gentle and pleasant way to clear wax from your ears without removing all the wax which is undesirable. Also it helps in the treatment of sinusitis.
  • Treatment of back, neck, joint pain. See below for options

Treatment of Back, Neck and Joint pain I will help you select the most appropriate treatment to resolve your back, joint or muscular pain using:
  • Bowen therapy – If you have back, neck, facial pain then Bowen is for you. If you have other health problems, read further information below about Bowen to see if it is the right treatment for you.
  • SCENAR therapy - The SCENAR is an amazing small hand-held device which I use to treat a wide range of health problems and especially those involving pain and discomfort. Read more information about the SCENAR below to see if you would like this treatment for yourself.

About Pat Hunter Training: I completed a 3½ year full-time diploma at Naturecare College in Sydney in 1986 when I graduated in Medical Herbalism, Classical Homoeopathy and Naturopathy. Experience: I was employed fulltime for seven years by two of Sydney's busy government funded community health centres. In 1993 I returned to New Zealand and settled in Northland where I have worked in my own private practice ever since. Clinic: I opened Pat's Healing Centre in Waipu in October of 1995. This was the first clinic of its kind to open in the main street of Waipu and there was immediate interest in what I was doing. The practice has grown steadily over the years and has involved me in treating many animal patients as well as human. Associations: The associations for which I have qualified as a trusted practitioner:
    • New Zealand Council of Homoeopaths NZCH
    • New Zealand Association of Medical Herbalists NZAMH
    • National Herbal Association of Australia NHAA
    Consult with Pat A consultation normally takes an hour. In the case of Bowen or Scenar therapy this time will mainly be spent doing the treatment. For other health problems Pat will be doing a thorough consultation with you. Then you and Pat will discuss possible treatment options for you. Any medicines can be dispensed to you at the clinic. In the case of animals: It is always advisable to seek the advice of a veterinarian about your animal, as Homeopathy does not take the place of qualified veterinary advice. It is always advisable to tell your veterinarian that you are having your animal treated by a Homeopath, so that any medication can be continued while on Homeopathic treatment and that the animal does not suffer any pain or distress. About Bowen Bowen Therapy is a soft tissue therapy, working the fascia, which administers changes to the both mechanics and function of the body, allowing for the body to gently re-adjust itself. It can be easily done through the client's clothes. Conditions that can be treated include: sciatica and other lower back problems, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, migraine and headaches, back and neck problems, sprains and strains, TMJ dysfunction, tennis elbow, RSI, carpal tunnel. It is especially beneficial for people with Lupus and MS. It is safe and effective during pregnancy and just prior to labour and following the birth. Children and babies usually enjoy it as it is very gentle. About Scenar Scenar therapy is a drug free and non invasive tool to stimulate the body to heal itself. Scenar therapy accelerates healing and helps the body to resume normal functioning. When the scenar tool is placed on the skin, it can exchange information with the nervous system and this guides the therapist to maximise the treatment. Conditions that can be treated include: fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, migraine and headaches, back and neck problems, shoulder problems, sprains and strains, skin problems and anxiety. It is especially beneficial for people with auto-immune diseases such as Lupus and various types of arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis.
