BEHIND THE BUSINESS: Helping to heal yourself naturally
“When you’re thriving, you’re able to show up in the world as the best possible version of yourself. You therefore thrive in all your life experiences,” Rita said.
HE goal whenever you leave a session with Rita Hatzissavas is to feel more yourself.
For more than four decades, she has used her skills as a naturopath to help people heal in the most natural ways possible.
Do you feel something is not quite right with your health? Do you have acute or chronic conditions that are not responding to orthodox medicines? Do you become sick often or are you searching for the health and energy you once had?
For Rita, her philosphy is working to get you back on track to feeling more vibrant energy and providing lasting health solutions.
“I have a passion for natural medicine and love working with clients and watching their health improve,” she said.
“I want to be a skillful and trustworthy guide through their healing journey.
“If you’re dedicated to attaining optimum health, I will endeavour to provide the necessary information and tools to acheive that in a personalised, warm and caring environment.”
At her centre in St Arnaud, Rita works closely with clients to uncover underlying imbalances and then formulate a personalised plan to address their needs.
“The first step to begin the body’s repair process is to evaluate the current biochemestry,” she said.
“This will establish your nutritional status, metabolic parameters and function of the body’s key systems working together that may be causing you to feel sick, tired or over stressed.
“We’ll take this opportunity to to check for nutritional deficiencies and imbalances that could be the cause of your current symptoms that could be negatively impacting you health, energy, weight, digestion and enjoyment of life.”
The biofunctional test, which only takes a few minutes and is not invasive, tests for food sensitivites, leaky gut, hydration, blood pressure, liver and kidney function, function of your nervous system, bacterial and viral infections, skin conditions, bones, tendons and joint function, allergies to grasses and vitamins and minerals, just to name a few.
Rita has been a leading master herbalist and homopathic practitioner for over three decades. This allows her to provide personalised tonics that could be used as an alternative. “The problem is, symptoms point to deeper imbalances and some approaches don’t necessarily address those root causes,” she said.
“One of our major considerations is dosage. We are all biochemically unique and our requirements can be different.
“Your treatments are tailored to your body’s requirements and the results and benefits are outstanding.”
You can also chat to Rita and get support for chronic fatigue management, lift in depression and anxiety, eliminating pain and inflammation, improving memory and sharpening mental clarity, improving certain organ functions and her large herbal and vitamin dispensary.
Rita said at her Alternative Natural Healing Centre, she is dedicated to achieving sustainable results so her clients can feel positive about the approach they are taking.
“When you’re thriving, you’re able to show up in the world as the best possible version of yourself. You therefore thrive in all your life experiences,” Rita said.
“I’m committed to delivering a premium service where every client feels completely supported and as your personal health coach, we will come up with the best path forward for you,” she said.
