We all know that many treatments can be toxic but some diagnostic procedures can also do more harm than good. So it’s refreshing to find an investigatory procedure that can pick up problems in the very early stages, which is completely harmless and non-invasive – The Thermographic Body Scan. Wendy Calver, RN is a certified Clinical Thermographer. She has been a registered nurse for over 35 years and has also studied Reflexology and Reiki during that time. Wendy has always enjoyed using natural therapies to look after her own health and that of her family. She had a thermographic scan a few years ago, could see the many benefits, and decided to become a Clinical Thermographer so that she could continue to help people in a different way. This investigatory procedure has the unique ability to pick up the nervous system’s projection of disease, alerting an individual to a problem in their body. A non-contact digital infrared camera captures and records temperature variations on the skin. While it doesn’t diagnose cancer, it can detect increased blood supply (as found in cancers) called angiogenesis. It is well documented in all fields of medicine that the earliest detection leads to the best outcome. Thermography can detect early danger signs in the body years before other devices. In many diseases there are variations in blood flow which in turn affect the skin temperature. Thermography enables earlier intervention and gives people more options to look after their health.

Many therapists have a Facebook page but, many do not use it or use it to benefit and create clients. This talk will cover why social media and blogging is good for business and why it is used as a marketing tool, plus why and how to use Facebook Live in getting to your clients and building relationships and expertise. Also, the game changer that saves time! Alison Brown has been running her own therapy business since 2000. After finishing training and previously being a stay at home married mum of 2, Ali had no idea how to run a business. So over the years she has done much training and learning about running a business, and in 2013 decided to help other therapists in a similar position. Ali's Therapy Academy was built to share her knowledge and experiences and to help therapists.

I am a trained Aromatherapist and Reflexologist (specialising in fertility and maternity). Qualified also in Indian Head Massage & the original LaStone Therapy & Spiritual Healing. My main passion is Homeopathy, and after many years of study was awarded a Licentiate. I am also the student mentor for 'Southern College Of Homeopathy' in Tunbridge Wells. In 1999 I felt it was time to offer people the opportunity to take responsibility for their own health and to explore different approaches to medicine other than those generally being offered. With this in mind I opened The Mews Clinic in the Old Town offering complementary health care. As this was one of the first clinics of its kind to be opened in Eastbourne the practice has always been extremely busy. Homeopathy is controversial and has its share of bad press but it is an amazing form of medicine, gentle but powerful and works with your body not against it. Homeopathy has over 200 million worldwide users and has been available for over 200 years. Unbeknown by most it is available on the NHS, and our Royal family have used and supported the practice since the 1830's, also reflecting its long standing presence in our health care system. I would like to share my journey into Homeopathy with you as I truly believe it helped to save my life. I don't just practice Homeopathy, I have become a Homoeopath and as you will discover, I certainly try to walk my talk.
