LAKE SPA PRACTITIONERS

Thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself. I graduated from Macquarie University in 1999. After Graduating, I went on to practice for ten years in the UK where he trained extensively in the technique of Chiropractic Biophysics; a technique focussed around postural and structural correction which is the most researched form of chiropractic in the world today.

I have recently joined the team at Lake Spa and I am keen to implement the many techniques learned whilst overseas for the improved care of the residents of the Central Coast. My goal is to help each patient achieve optimum health through Chiropractic, by helping them to restore their ideal posture and structure, which in turn insures their nervous system functions to its maximum potential and their physical body is the best it can be.

My name is Adam and I would appreciate the opportunity to assist you personally with your health needs and/or your weight and fitness goals using Traditional Chinese Medicine.
I used to be a severe asthmatic and overweight when I was young and in high school. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine helped a lot with my asthma and it has almost completely gone. That started my interest in acupuncture and health. Since then I have studied Chinese Medicine, Massage and personal training courses. I have trained fitness wise with a professional body builder.
What a lot of people don’t realise is that Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is a medicine. A lot of people come to acupuncture for sports injury. Yes acupuncture is very good for treating muscle skeletal problems but that is just one branch that acupuncture can treat. There are so many varieties of illnesses that acupuncture and Chinese medicine can treat. Some of my specialties include:
- Anxiety - Asthma - Colds/Flu - Depression - Digestive Disorders - Energy boost - Fatigue - Headache/Migraine - Insomnia - Menstruation - Muscle Skeletal - Quit Smoking - Stress - Weight Loss

I have always had a strong interest in Natural Therapies and in particular options to assist in the treatment of pain and discomfort. I was drawn from this interest to study a variety of Massage Therapy bodywork options. I have qualified in Remedial Massage, Trigger Point, Neurolymphatic Massage, Rejuvination/Detox Massage, Pregnancy Massage, Hawaiian Fusion/Hot Stone Massage and Myofascial Release Therapy. I enjoy my work immensely and gain great satisfaction out of assisting my clients to improve their health and assist create balance in their life. I look forward to meeting and working with you to achieve and maintain the state of wellness you are looking for.

How Lymphatic Massage Can Assist You

I have always believed that your life path has been mapped out from the day you were born. Although, always having a keen interest in natural therapies, it wasn’t until my health took one of those detours in life’s journey, that I realised the benefits that natural therapies can ‘fully’ offer. I suppose I never really considered those rewarding opportunities, on a personal level, that this profession could offer either, until I experienced the benefits first hand. Therefore in 2003 I made the life ‘rewarding’ decision to leave a highly demanding job and commence studies in a new profession, as a massage practitioner. I feel blessed, to now be working in an industry and environment that continues to offer me, on a daily basis, a sense of fulfilment and achievement.
Observing clients, leaving my clinic room on a pathway to a restored state of well being and balance, is extremely rewarding.
Since obtaining my Diploma in Remedial Massage which incorporates Therapeutic Massage, Remedial Massage, Hot Stone Therapy, Sports Massage, Trigger Point and Ear Candling, I feel so fortunate and proud to be a part of this profession and being able to offer my professional services in such a caring and supportive environment. Taking a wholistic focus and interest in the health of my clients wellbeing, requires not only, a continued and ongoing learning approach, but also being part of a working environment with other professional practitioners here at Lake Spa.

How Can Positional Release Help Your Aches and Pains

My name is Zelka and I would like to tell you how I came to be part of the LakeSpa Practitioners team. I have always had an interest in massage therapy and over many years I was a very active sportsperson whilst working in labour intensive jobs, including the construction industry. Some six years ago I suffered an injury which required remedial and chiropractic work which was very successful. I had my initial treatments here at Lake Spa. As a result of this experience which assisted me greatly, and with my long time interest in remedial massage, I decided to embark on a career that would assist others whilst also giving me great personal satisfaction - hence my commencement at LakeSpa. I am a very enthusiastic person and am passionate about assisting clients in their recovery whilst also continuing my education ongoing in this field so I really look forward to meeting and assisting our clients.

I have had extensive clinical experience with conditions like Type 11 Diabetes; thyroid problems; stress and adrenal exhaustion; eczema and psoriasis; irritable bowel and coeliacs disease; hormonal problems including menopause and polycystic ovarian disorder. And for weight loss you can’t beat the detail and motivation provided by the body composition test!
My aim is to raise awareness and help people gain a greater understanding of themselves. The more we know about ourselves, the more we can do for ourselves.
Finding the unique picture for each individual is the basis for understanding what will best suit a person and building on regular healthy lifestyle choices to aim for true wellness.

I am registered with Medicare, WorkCover, and will soon be registered as DVA, VVCS and Victims of Crime provider. My positions have included State and local based activities in program management, training/group facilitation, organisational psychology and counselling.
