Why complementary and alternative therapy?

Unlike conventional medicine and therapy, complementary and alternative therapy takes a more holistic view of an individual. It includes practices that often incorporate spiritual, metaphysical and newly-developed approaches to healing.

Type Of Treatments
Simone specialises in the following complementary and alternative therapies:

• Acupuncture (Traditional Chinese Medicine)
• Nutritional Therapy

Acupuncture is an ancient system of healing first recorded in China, Japan and other Eastern countries, dating from 4,500 years ago. Treatment involves the use of very fine needles on acupuncture points along the meridians. It is based on the theory that stimulating specific acupuncture points affects the functions of various organs and systems of the body. The needles affect the flow of vital energy (called “chi” or “qi”) through the meridians and thereby stimulate the mental and physical healing energies.

Nutritional Therapy Contrary to popular belief, you are not what you eat. You are what you can digest and absorb. Taking in all the nutrients we need at optimal amounts is not only a recipe for a long and healthy physical life, but also helps us achieve our full potential as human beings.
Nutritional Therapy aims to help individuals achieve their optimum level of health. We all have different nutritional needs based on our individual make up. Nutritional Therapy attempts to address these needs by supplying the body with the appropriate nutrients from a tailor made diet and supplement programme.

Mode Of Consultation And Treatments Treatments and consultations are available on the following basis:

• Face-to-face sessions
• Remote sessions: Email, Instant Messaging, Phone and
Skype Webcam

About Simone...

Simone Telo is trained in Nutritional Therapy and Traditional Chinese Medicine (Acupuncture). She offers a unique and holistic blend of complementary therapies that serve to enhance the well-being and overall health of her clients.

She trained in nutrition at the renowned Plaskett College and acupuncture at the Shanghai Acupuncture College in Dublin. After completing her studies in Nutritional Therapy, she was drawn to Traditional Chinese Medicine. In practice, she found that the scientific approach of Nutritional Therapy marries well with the energetic medicine of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

To further enhance her knowledge and skills, Simone underwent further training at the Shanghai 6th People’s Hospital in Shanghai, China. There, she had the privilege to train directly under one of the top ten Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors in China, Dr Zhang and Professor
Wu Yan Chi

Combining these various complementary therapies has enhanced Simone’s practice. She is able to offer her clients a broader range of effective options to address their health challenges; from emotional health, female issues to general concerns that adversely affect their lifestyle and causes imbalance in their well-being.

Simone’s personal experience: In 2002, Simone was diagnosed with a thyroid condition and following a lengthy and difficult period attempting to address her health concerns through traditional Western approaches with little success, she decided to consult a practitioner of Chinese medicine.

The positive outcomes achieved prompted her to study this form of treatment which she believed, when coupled with Nutritional Therapy, could offer clients a more complete and effective prognosis.

She has since used her own life experiences and challenges to successfully work with a wide range of health issues, and to instil in individuals the ability to nurture their own bodies and to make safe and wise lifestyle choices.
