Introducing Our Practitioners

Posted on 09 June 2010 by

At reception we are often asked what practitioners we have available, what they do and when. While we love being able to guide you and in many cases match you to a practitioner that best suits your needs, we thought it a good idea to give you a comprehensive list of the very wide range of skills our practitioners have…and we were amazed at just how much our practitioners can offer you. It’s exciting to think that we have this available at Vitalelife!

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Within the natural medicine framework is a well recognized notion, that for each year that a person has had a disease, a month of treatment will be required. The symptoms of a recent physical problem can be generally relieved within four to six treatments. The longer the condition has been there the longer the treatment time taken. Chronic disease patterns can take some months of treatment.

Emotional problems may sometimes involve three or four sessions spread out over a longer period, whereas, often a single session alone may be sufficient for a spiritual counseling session.

Each case is individual and merits a unique cooperation between the practitioner and the client.
