ABOUT OUR PRACTITIONERS: Katherine, Stewart and Jeanne-Claire
KATHERINE ARMITAGE
MLCHOM (Complementary Therapists Association)
Katherine is a qualified, registered &
insured Yoga teacher, homeopath & flower essence prescriber.
She is also a healer and member of the North Devon
Natural Health Organisation
I have been using yoga, homeopathy & natural healing systems for transformation for 20 years. Having been fully dosed with antibiotics as a child and watching my mother die of Cancer when I was 18, I sought to find some answers to my questions about life and started on my healing journey. When my son was born in France 1987 I discovered homeopathy and I've been using it ever since. I teach homeopathy for the Lakeland College in London.
I was brought up in a beautiful old water Mill and I have always been inspired by the natural world and how it can help us heal. It is also a major reason for setting up a healing centre in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the north devon coast. I like getting groups of diverse people together, hearing their stories and learning from them and having fun. Other interests include, playing tennis, walking by the sea and making hearty vegetarian soups and salads. I am a trained Sivananda Yoga teacher and a follower of many great yogis including The Master Babiji, Sivananda, Yogananda and my own spiritual teacher George King. www.aetherius.orgA consultation with Katherine:
A full case history is taken encompassing physical and mental/emotional areas. Treatment can either be constitutional: looking at inherited tendencies plus all present issues and treating the whole or, therapeutic: aiming at managing distressing symptoms, with homeopathic remedies, with the goal of understanding these symptoms as part of the whole picture.The
consultation and treatment are an interactive
process with frequent feedback sessions to find out how your health
journey is
progressing.
I believe that
disease occurs only when our internal
environment is favorable for disease growth and we create our internal
environment through our diet, life-styles, and thoughts. So we will
explore all
these areas.
What homeopathy can be
used for:
Homeopathy can be
used for all kinds of acute or chronic mental/emotional and physical
states,
from immune deficiency to insomnia, from depression to diarrhea,
addictions or
overeating, serious or mild conditions. In fact people often come to
see
homeopaths when all else has failed.
What is different about
homeopathy?
Homeopathic remedies,
from plant, mineral and other sources are ‘potentised’ by diluting and
shaking
them many, many times. This distinguishes them from herbal medicines
and takes
away any toxic side effects so they can be used safely in pregnancy and
if you
are on other medication.
Many orthodox doctors,
operating in a Newtonian paradigm,
do not recognize the benefits of homeopathic treatment because they
have not
caught up with the quantum physics which underlies its philosophy.
How
homeopathy
works:
Homeopathy is based on
the resonance principle that like cures like. As
with acupuncture it works on the body’s energy system, it works to
retune your
energy.
For example we use apis
mel, a remedy made from bee sting, for
soreness, redness or swelling (the kind of symptoms that you would get
if you
were stung by a bee) occurring in any part of the body. This might be
painful
arthritis, a sty or even the after effects of a black eye. It is often
a good
remedy for the very active person, the proverbial: ‘busy bee’!
‘Thank you for all your
help, for fifteen years colds always used to go
to my chest, this year I have avoided all that.’ JM Chichester
‘I had no idea how
powerful homeopathy is, I have cancelled my operation.’
TS London
My life was
handicapped from birth through constant bronchitis.
I was given so many antibiotics that my
immune system was also breaking down.
I met Katherine
Armitage at The Mind Body Spirit Festival in 2006 and I managed to
capture a
few moments to talk with her about homeopathy.
She was able to quickly diagnose me and give me some
tablets having
heard my story.
With my every
breath I say Thank You for Homeopathy…and of course to Katherine, for
my longer
healthier life…
Telephone Consultations:
I have always worked a lot on the phone but since I moved most of my practice from London to Devon I love giving consultations on the phone. It is practical, flexible, time saving and often cheaper for people to talk to me, on the phone, rather than to come and see me. It also means that I can work with people who live a long way away or abroad. I work very fast, so sometimes a 10 minute consultation will be able to offer you what you need.COST: Telephone Consultations are £1 a minute or 75p a minute for children up to 16 years and pensioners.
You can decide how long you want to speak for. A first consultation is usually 45 minutes or an hour so that you have time to describe what is going on. After that follow ups can be 15 minutes, half an hour or an hour depending on how much time you need. It also means that you can speak to me every week for 10 minutes , for example, if you want ongoing support.STEWART JOHNSTON

Brigid Hurley MA
Brigid lived at Cranleigh House from 2010-2011, she is now the coordinator for Mother Earth's Minerals, our company selling volcanic basalt dust for remineralising soil.
Brigid
trained in Environmental Studies and Whole Systems Design (
Whole
systems design is discerning the hub of a wheel
that connects different spokes which represent disparate or component
elements
of, for example, a family, a community, or a large corporation, so that
the
‘whole’ can work better and more efficiently.
Whole systems design can be applied to the smallest family
or to the
largest country, from a small storage closet to an oil refinery. Brigid’s experience as a
whole systems
designer has been mainly working with community and environmental
projects and
in the field of education.
Brigid
focuses on the relationship between community and environment as it
pertains to
Human Ecology – the wider association we have with the planet that
expresses
and hopefully promotes environmental and cultural survival – right down
to the
function people have to ‘place’, as it relates to daily existence in
our homes
and the workplace.
In
courses she has developed over the years, Brigid has joined aspects of
history
with those of Ecology, promoting cultural and environmental
sustainability
wherever possible. In
TUATHA: The
People, a communication and community development course she
taught at the
University of Washington’s Experimental College, she used the model of
a 16th
century wool producing Irish village to bring zoologists, engineers,
university
fundraisers, midwives, other professionals and students together to
create
community and learn about the value each individual can have in
designing a
communication process.
Brigid loves the natural world especially plants and animals. Brigid says, “Nature has always been our teacher; cultures embraced similar cosmologies, myths and archetypes that were significant to them even though they evolved from very different ecosystems, from temperate forests, deserts or at the edge of the sea. Oral traditions speak of the phenomenal aspects of the spirits in the environment; dryads in the forest or the Jinni of the desert”. She is fascinated by the sacredness of place defined by each culture as it evolves from within its own specific environment, with its own characteristics and ecology having its own biological peculiarities and particular foods. She is also great at space clearing and teaches courses in ‘Voluntary Simplicity’ to help you to keep your everyday or sacred space clutter free!
Brigid
helped to bring all the diverse elements
of Cranleigh House together while she was living with us for a year,
she has now returned to Ireland and she is Project Development Manager
for our joint business MOTHER
EARTH'S MINERALS.
Katherine,
Stewart and Brigid met while attending a Practitioner course in Body
Electronics – www.bodyelectronics.co.uk -which includes sustained
acupressure point
holding and other related naturopathic therapies that align body mind
and
spirit.
