The Homeopathic Consultation
A homeopathic consultation is a deeply personal and holistic process. The goal is to understand you—not just your symptoms, but your overall experience of your life and how to improve your health,
“Every bit of information is like a piece in a gigantic jigsaw puzzle.”
During the initial consultation, we gather as much information as possible by listening carefully and asking thoughtful questions. Each detail you share is like a piece of a gigantic jigsaw puzzle. The more pieces we have, the clearer the full picture becomes. This unique picture will help to identify the homeopathic remedy that most closely matches your individual needs.
Homeopathy is a gentle, natural system of medicine that supports the body’s own ability to heal. Rather than focusing only on a diagnosis or physical condition, it considers the whole person—physical symptoms, spiritual and emotional wellbeing, and your family history.
Homeopathy can be used to support both acute conditions and ongoing, chronic issues. All consultations are conducted in a safe, respectful, and strictly confidential setting.
The Law of Similars has been known by Hippocrates.
Homeopathy means: “To treat with a medicine that produces a similar effect to the disease”
Samuel Hahnemann, a german doctor, founded the idea of homeopathy in the early 1800’s. Homeopathy follows a rule in Nature called "The Law of similar". This rules states that "like cures like" - a medicine that can cause symptoms in a healthy person can take symptoms away in a sick person. A good example is “Allium cepa” or red onion which commonly causes a person to get a runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing. Applied in a homeopathically potentized form the same substance can relieve a cold or hayfever symptoms with similar symptoms of a runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing. The homeopathic remedy therefore sends the body a message how it can heal itself.
Homeopathic medicines are mostly made from plant, mineral or animal material. The original substance is then diluted and potentized repeatedly.
The homeopathic medicines are gentle and effective. Homeopathy also works on animals, infants and plants. A placebo effect is therefore not in place.

Reflexology
Per one hour session
$60
In a foot reflexology session appropriate pressure is used to stimulate or sedate certain points and areas on the feet.
Specific areas and reflex points correspond to different body organs and systems, and by treating them it can have a beneficial effect on the organs and the person's general health.
Reflexology offers the opportunity to treat the whole body by working away from the effected area. For example, a person with a broken rib would not wish to be touch near the painful area, but after receiving a reflexology treatment focusing on the rib cage may feel relieved of pain for quite some time. Reflexology can also help to speed up the recovery after the injury.
Numerous conditions like asthma, anxiety, hormonal imbalance, sinusitis, autoimmune dysfunction (to name only a few) can benefit from regular reflexology treatments. Reflexology also aids to enhance general well-being, reduce stress, encourage relaxation, improves circulation, cleanses the body of impurities, improves digestive imbalances, revitalises energy, assists in natural fertility and nurtures emotional well being. Ear Acupuncture or Auricular Therapy is a form of reflexology that uses tiny acupuncture needles to treat specific point on the ear. It is a different system from Chinese medicine and was developed by French neurologist Paul Nogier. I quite often use both reflexology systems at the same time and let the needles do their work in the ear while I get to work on the person's feet.
Massage
Therapy
One hour treatment
$60
One and a half hour treatment
$80
Massage Therapy is a manipulation of the soft muscle tissue of the body.
This can be applied with different pressure. A gentle pressure promotes relaxation and well-being. A firm pressure or deep tissue massage with added Trigger Point treatment can be used in rehabilitation after sport injuries, sore necks and backs and many other complaints. Massage in general improves blood circulation, moves toxins out of the body, can help release adhesion's in
muscle fibers and increase awareness of what our body actually feels like and where tension might be stored. Massage Therapy is suitable for all ages. Babies benefit from massages by having their awareness of their own body increased. It is gentle on pregnant women and special care will be taken into consideration. Older people might feel relieve of their daily aches and pains decreased. I often also use Polarity Therapy and Reiki at some stage during a massage.

About.
Tanja Baker
(RC Hom NZCH, BSc, MT)
I am an experienced and qualified Homeopath and Natural Health Practitioner working in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. Empowering my clients by guiding them to become more aware of their current situation and therefore being able to look after and care for themselves better is my main focus. Homeopathy offers an amazing opportunity to get to that awareness in a gentle and deep acting manner.
I have been practicing from my clinic in Te Awanga using Massage Therapy, Reflexology, Ear Acupuncture, Reiki and Bach Flower Therapy since 1999. In 2012 I graduated with a Diploma in Homeopathy at the Bay of Plenty College and am grateful to be able to add Homeopathy as a valuable skill to my repertoire. I have also completed training in "Intentional Grace", a resonance testing method that assists in fine-tuning homeopathic prescriptions. I trained in Family Constellation Therapy which adds an amazingly powerful tool for resolving or shifting entangled family dynamic situations.
Originally from Germany, I moved to New Zealand after completing my studies in Pharmaceutical Chemistry (Engineering) and Natural Therapies (Heilpraktikerin). If I can be of any assistance in your quest for better health I would love to hear from you.
Best wishes and take care
Tanja
