Mullen Health

If you suffer from issues such as low energy, sleeping disorders or digestive problems, you may want to consider naturopathy, a holistic approach to health and wellness suitable for all ages.

Naturopaths can help determine the cause of your health conditions, provide useful advice and come up with individual treatment plans to guide you towards your health goals. Encompassing a variety of treatment methods such as herbal medicine, dietary, lifestyle and nutritional advice, naturopaths can aid in boosting your body’s natural healing potential and restore harmony.

Peter Mullen, owner of Mullen Natural Health, has more than 30 years of experience helping people get to the bottom of their health conditions and back on the path to wellness. His team of qualified naturopaths provide free mini consults, natural supplements, herbal medicines and helpful advice to guide, teach and support in all areas of health and wellbeing.

The team specialises in areas such as women’s health, gut issues, anxiety and depression, and focuses on not just treating symptoms but determining the cause. The practice also has a fully stocked herb bar, which is beneficial in naturopathy treatments.

Based in Hamilton, NSW, the team of qualified naturopaths treats clients in person across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter Valley as well as Australia-wide via telehealth consultations. For more information, visit their website.

Float Centre

Float therapy dates back to 1954 when a physician and neuroscientist designed a floatation tank to study the origins of consciousness by cutting off all external stimuli. Over the years they have become increasingly popular, with many scientists now saying they can aid in stress and anxiety relief, better sleep and relaxation.

The Newcastle Float Centre is Newcastle’s longest established float centre and its services include sensory deprivation, float therapy, hypnotherapy, EMDR, NLP, healing inherited trauma and hypno-floating, infrared sauna, salt therapy and massage.

“We have offered float therapy using the 100 per cent Australian-designed, manufactured and owned Apollo Float Tank for more than nine years,” said Trish Wallace, co-founder and clinical hypnotherapist at Newcastle Float Centre.

Their tanks utilise a mixture of Epsom salt and heated water and can create a zerogravity environment, with the tranquil and dark space allowing your mind and body to drift into deep relaxation without any interventions from the world outside.

When floating, the majority of your senses are restricted causing the nervous system to reset and your mind to enter a deep state of equanimity and healing. Many people believe that regular float sessions improve stress-related disorders and stimulate the production of feel-good endorphins.

So whether you are after a simple massage or something more unique, the Newcastle Float Centre can support you in achieving a state of relaxation and rejuvenation. For more information, visit their website.
