Rumana Health - Newsletter November 2005

Also, a big heartfelt thanks to many of you who have been referring clients to me. My business grows through your word of mouth and I am deeply grateful to so many of you for supporting me.

Dear All

Last week I attended a meeting at the House of Commons hosted by MP David Tredinnick, looking at how we can integrate complementary medicine into the health service. This is quite a challenge to say the least but there are a few excellent projects going on around the country where it is beginning to happen albeit a small drop in the ocean. Governmental health policy states that health services are to become much more patient led. Therefore writing or campaigning to your MP or your local Primary Care Trust to request access to complementary medicine services will help. Your letter might be one of thousands that may begin to turn the tables.

What's New

I am introducing new therapies within the clinic and the first one is Ayurveda massage. This will be available in the New Year in the Newcastle Clinic only. I have decided to integrate this into my work as it will not only assist the treatment but enhance the benefits you gain during the course of your treatment. We are the only clinic offering this specialised Ayurveda Massage in the North East of England, so please give it a go!

Price Change

In the New Year prices will be increasing. This rise is principally due to demand for services but they are still competitive consultation rates - based on working with a Senior Naturopathic Physician and the unique integrated services provided by Rumana Health. You will have the options to pay per treatment (pay as you go) or choose from one of the three pay monthly schemes which start from £45/month. Clients on any monthly scheme which will also have the added benefit of 20% discount on additional treatments. Existing clients can choose to pay £5.50/month and access the 20% discount off treatments. These will be published in the new website.

If you are thinking of booking any treatment with me and waiting until 2007, I am honouring 2006 prices for any treatments booked before the New Year.

New Website is Coming Soon!

The new website is about to be launched, yes honest. I know I have been saying this for some time but we're nearly there! Watch out for the new blog written by a client who is going to share her experiences of her treatment with you! Yes it's going to be uncut so you'll get the highs and lows, good and bad. I want you to know what it feels like going through treatment. If you have goals for your health and for your life the rewards can be immense but the journey isn't always easy. Those of you who have worked with me know how much I demand, cajole, make you face things perhaps you don't want but also love and support you the whole way - so that you get the results you want.

I would love to hear from you readers about the topics you would like to know more about and would also welcome your general feedback about the newsletter. So please write in.

Keep well!

With love

Personal Reflections

I have been in an incredibly reflective mood over the last week which has been quite intense. I met a friend I hadn't seen in 15 years which set off what feels like a cataclysm of thoughts on what have I done in my life over the last 15 years. First of all I cannot believe 15 years have gone by so quickly - I know this sounds a bit cliché but its true!

In amongst the successes and happy times there is the sadness of what I didn't do. I cannot believe the overwhelming remorse that has gripped me over the past few days. I know the past cannot be changed but reflection of it can give us guidance and an opportunity to conduct ourselves differently (one would hope for the better) in our future actions.

I still remain in the reflective mood - but I know for sure that I am living my life to the full and feel the importance of reflection in the present too. I also heed the warning bells, addressing the things that somehow don't feel right any more, much more swiftly now than ever before.

Which Remedy?

There are so many good ones on the market but which one is the best to go for...

Stressed Out?

One remedy I would like to focus on that will help your stress levels over the Christmas and New Year season is Siberian Ginseng, Eleutherococcus senticosus. If your adrenal glands are working flat out, you're tired or suffering long term stress this it is one herb that really can make a difference. Not only does it help to improve mental resilience but will also help the body to withstand heat, cold and other physical stresses. There are many types of ginsengs so do not get confused - Siberian Ginseng is the one you need.
