Some background on The BodyTalk System: An effective holistic therapy that allows one body's energy systems to be re-synchronized, so they can operate as nature intended. Clinical experience has shown that once clients overall systems are balanced through BodyTalk Techniques, they exhibit significant improvement in many areas ( For example: pregnancy and child birth, anxiety disorders, allergies, chronic stress, viruses, chronic pain, phobias, headaches, endocrine dysfunctions, etc.).

Some background in Naturopathic medicine: it is a blend of modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine making a distinct primary health care system. Its philosophy is based on the healing power of the nature and the body’s ability to heal itself by removing the underlying cause of disease. The disease is perceived as a process rather than an entity. Its symptoms are seen as warning signals of improper functioning of the body, most likely disrupted by unfavourable lifestyle habits. The natural forms of medicine employed to treat the patient include diet and lifestyle changes, botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, hydrotherapy, homeopathy, naturopathic manipulation and traditional Chinese medicine/acupuncture. The modalities of treatment, in conjunction with the patient’s condition/concern, are determined by their physiological, structural, psychological, social, spiritual, environment and lifestyle factors.

Simone speaks fluent Portuguese and English.
