The Matariki Practice

Alison Donley trained at the British College of Naturopathy and Osteopathy, London, UK. To become an Osteopath and Naturopath in the UK requires the undertaking of a four year full-time course. This includes in-depth study of human anatomy, neurology, physiology, pathology, orthopaedics, rheumatology and psychosomatics, which equip us to analyse and diagnose your problems.

Naturopaths are trained to diagnose and treat the patient rather than the disease.

Naturopathy is a truly holistic therapy, based on the recognition that the body possesses an inherent ability to heal itself. Treatments are tailored to the individual..

Therapeutic measures used are those designed to restore and promote the body(TM)s own functional ability. These measures include nutritional medicine, supplement use, specific diets, relaxation techniques, exercises, hydrotherapy, advanced massage techniques, joint mobilisation, cranial and fascial work.
