hat started as a small market stall has grown to an international natural products company with busy stores across Australia and Asia, thanks to the vision of Perfect Potion co-founder and Endeavour College alumnus Carolyn Stubbin. Along with business partner Salvatore Battaglia, Stubbin has spent the past 22 years leveraging her experience as a herbalist, aromatherapist and beauty therapist to form a thriving retail chain after studying acupuncture and natural therapies at Endeavour College of Natural Health. “We’ve designed our products to be a sanctuary for the senses, and offer everything from aromatherapy-based haircare, face care and bath and shower products to essential oils, teas, blends and perfumes, with all our products made locally in Brisbane,” says Stubbin. “Our point of difference lies with our unique merchandise and the integrity of the
“Our point of difference lies with our unique merchandise and the integrity of the range, from the environmentally conscious manufacturing processes right down to the certified organic and cruelty-free ingredients we use. What you get with us is the real thing.” range, from the environmentally conscious manufacturing processes to the certified organic and cruelty-free ingredients we use. What you get with us is the real thing.” Perfect Potion is proud to be the first company to offer certified natural cosmetics to meet very strict European guidelines called the BDIH certified natural standard. These standards mean most Perfect Potion products are derived from raw materials obtained from certified-organic plants, have had no animal testing, contain only naturally derived preservatives and support fair trade. What’s more, Perfect Potion was awarded the Queensland Business Review Environmental Sustainability Award in 2010 and was recognised as a top-400 Queensland company. After humble beginnings where they had to sell off half their possessions to make ends meet, Stubbin and Battaglia opened their first Perfect Potion store in Elizabeth Arcade, Brisbane. Over time they have built a solid network of eight stores, including three in Brisbane and Sydney, and two in Melbourne. An alumnus of both Endeavour College and its sister training organisation, the
College of Natural Beauty, Stubbin credits her studies as central to Perfect Potion’s success. “These courses were the starting point for understanding how Perfect Potion could enhance the health and wellbeing of others. This knowledge underpinned everything, from choosing the products we make to sourcing the ingredients we use and educating our team,” she says. Perfect Potion has also expanded overseas, boasting nine stores in Japan and distributors in Singapore, Taiwan and Korea. “We chose to focus on Japan as the
gateway to our international business due to the Japanese consumers’ interest in natural products,” Stubbin says. Stubbin also drew on her studies to write a book, Do It Yourself Pure Plant Skin Care, to expand the awareness of aromatherapy and natural skin care. As part of Perfect Potion’s mission to “naturally enhance people’s lives”, Carolyn and team are working on a 100 per cent natural sunscreen with organic ingredients, and new aromatherapy and skincare items. Perfect Potion holds themed “discovery” nights and weekend workshops at which participants are educated about health, wellbeing and holistic living. Says Stubbin, “I’m thankful to Endeavour College for giving me the building blocks and confidence to turn my love of natural therapies into building a successful business that soothes and heals so many people around the world.”

Performed to music, Kahuna bodywork uses sensitivity and long, flowing strokes to provide a compassionate space for clients to experience healing and wellbeing for themselves.

BUDDHIST STUDIES – A PATH TO A NEW LIFE? A unique kind of education has been quietly turning out qualified and enriched students for nearly three years. This government accredited tertiary education, grounded in Buddhist values and wisdom, is the first of its’ kind in Australia. Word of mouth is now spreading about Nan Tien Institute (NTI), and as it gears up for the completion of its’ new Tertiary Campus, Cultural Centre and Art Gallery next year, an increasing number of students are discovering this visionary education opportunity and using it to forge new career paths and enhance their personal lives. Students are attracted to NTI because of its “incredible and inspiring” location, world class teachers, and unique teaching programs and methodologies. The current campus at the Nan Tien Temple – the largest Buddhist Temple in the Southern Hemisphere – is a serene, authentic and stimulating environment. NTI’s lecturers and researchers are world renowned. The Head of Program, Dr Tamara Ditrich, is a university lecturer and scholar that has studied and practiced meditation under various renowned teachers of Buddhist meditation in India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Europe and Australia, for over 35 years. Dr Ditrich draws on mindfulness, religious, scientific, research, ethics and mental health minds from throughout the globe, to put together a comprehensive, world class and inspiring Buddhist Studies program that attracts students from throughout Australia and overseas. NTI students have graduated with Graduate Certificate and Diploma credentials, and are working towards a Masters qualification. Many have completed single or multiple subjects for professional and personal enhancement. A number have taken the skills and new outlook they have developed to their careers, and say it has
given them a unique edge in diverse areas such as human resources, management, health care and teaching. Personal lives have also been enhanced with the skills, knowledge and state-of-mind acquired at NTI. Who studies? Each class contains a small and supportive mix of students with varied backgrounds. The combination of academics; those seeking personal and/or professional development; students who select subjects to complement their health, Asian, art, philosophical or Humanities studies at other universities; and monastics from around the globe, provide a stimulating environment where students learn from each other, the teachers, and the mixture of theoretical and practical classes.

an White, a fifth-generation herbalist and author of five bestselling books, grew up in the Australian bush near his grandmother. She and his great-grandmother were the first white people to seriously study the medicinal properties of native plants; his father was a pharmacist and herbalist. White grew up helping his grandmother prepare tinctures and extracts, and learning about
the healing qualities of plants and flowers. A successful naturopath, for the past 35 years White has kept alive his family tradition of working with native plants, through specialising in their emotional and spiritual qualities and by developing the Australian Bush Flower Essences. These essences are deep and quick-acting, since Australia has the world’s oldest and most numerous
flowering plants, a pristine environment and, metaphysically, very wise, old energy. Flower essences help us deal with societal changes. They absorb these energies and transform them so we can use that power to bring about internal healing and balance. White, along with the 100-plus teachers he has trained worldwide, teaches one- and two-day workshops in Australia and abroad. Come do these workshops to learn practical tools to help yourself and your family with emotional problems such as worry, fear, frustration and loneliness; enhancing learning; relationship and ageing issues.

TRANSPERSONAL FACULTY The Advanced Diploma of Transpersonal Counselling and Advanced Diploma of Transpersonal Art Therapy are nationally recognised courses designed to give students the skills they require to work as counsellors and art therapists in private practice or in the community services sector, in: Counselling services Women’s and men’s health centres Rehabilitation community health centres Refugee support, outreach, residential services Youth centres Schools Correction facilities Hospitals Government agencies Based on a psychological-spiritual model, transpersonal work helps clients achieve more authenticity and creativity. It combines mainstream art therapy and counselling theory with traditional healing models and techniques that demonstrate how different cultures use art and altered states of consciousness in healing practices and
rituals. One of the significant diversions from mainstream approaches is the transpersonal discovery of spiritual crisis and emergence and the relationship between mental health and spiritual experience.
All of the College of Complementary Medicine (CCM) programs are highly experiential, life-changing and focus on the “whole person” in counselling and therapeutic practice. Students learn to work with clients, and are also guided through a powerful process of selfawareness and reflection that facilitates a humanistic and holistic approach to counselling and therapy.
Mind Body Medicine/Kinesiology Faculty “I can see,” shouts a 12-yearold child running down the stairs, able to see clearly for the first time after his scotopic vision has suddenly improved following a session. This work is so rewarding. Having worked in other fields, I appreciate such direct feedback. Clients send me pictures of their newborn child, having seen me for fertility help; they cry for joy after becoming pain-free for the first time in 30 years. Each case makes the effort it took to change careers worth it. One of the great things about mind body medicine is that it has such wide application. You can specialise
or have a wide-ranging clinic. What is mind body medicine? It is a natural therapy that unites physical wellness approaches with neurological, psychological, Eastern medicine and kinesiology approaches. It makes so much sense. The mind controls the body. The body nourishes the mind and affects its functioning through the nervous system and neuroendocrine system. They are codependent. So mind body medicine aims to address both mind and body, often simultaneously. For example, I may rub a client’s body to help them connect better with their
feelings while counselling. The physical stimulation helps to reconnect the client to their own wisdom: suddenly they start generating profound insights into their life. CCM has been training people for more than a decade and has seen over 1000 people change careers and embrace complementary medicine. CCM’s Kinesiology and Mind Body Medicine diplomas take 18 months, enough time to get up and running successfully in clinic as an independent practitioner, with private healthfund coverage for your clients.

CAREER PROFILE: REBECCA PAUL, TRANSPERSONAL COUNSELLOR Describe your job in a sentence. A challenging and rewarding career that fulfils my life purpose. What education and training do you have? I have a Bachelor of Nursing Practice, Graduate Diploma in Advanced Nursing, Diploma in Transpersonal Counselling and a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling. How has this training helped your counselling career? It has given me the foundation on which my practice is built; it is the best training of humanistic counselling
I have encountered. It’s way more than just tools for helping people. What skills do you most need as a counsellor? First and foremost, selfawareness; you need to know yourself and have done your own work before you can help others do theirs. Of course empathy, understanding, interest and good communication skills are also important. What is the best part about being a counsellor? Extremely rewarding work with great flexibility in my work schedule. No two people are the same, so the opportunity to learn and grow is continuous.
What is the most challenging part? I do a lot of marriage counselling, so it can be challenging when one person wants to do the work and the other doesn’t. And not all situations end how you’d hope they might. What advice would you give an aspiring counsellor? Helping people is an extremely rewarding career, I couldn’t think of anything I’d rather do. Being a working mum, it fits in well with my family as I work weekends and evenings. If it’s something you’ve thought about for a while, now could be your time! Rebecca Paul is a principal counsellor at Eshé Counselling. She has been counselling for over 10 years and is passionate about helping individuals achieve their best life. W: eshecounselling.com.au

Southern School of Natural Therapies T: +61 3 9415 3333 | W: ssnt.edu.au
S
tudents come to the Southern School of Natural Therapies (SSNT) because of its high-quality training in natural therapies. They also come for the vibe. “Everyone’s friendly. It doesn’t matter if you know them or they’re from the same course as you, they all say hi,” says Chinese Medicine student Josh Wood. At SSNT, the aim is to provide the bestquality training and to produce the best complementary medicine practitioners in Australia. It combines academic and vocational training with degree programs in Naturopathy, Nutritional Medicine, Western Herbal Medicine, Chinese Medicine and Clinical Myotherapy, a higher-education Diploma of Health Science and VET-level courses in Massage. As the longest-established school of natural therapies in Australia, SSNT is an active and passionate advocate for a natural approach to health and wellbeing. It’s a position it’s held since Alf Jacka established the school in 1961. Since that time, SSNT has played a leading role in the development of complementary medicine both in Australia and internationally. The school doesn’t like to rest on its laurels, however. It’s expanded its curriculum to offer the new Bachelor of Health Science (Nutritional Medicine) and Bachelor of Health Science (Western Herbal Medicine) qualifications, and Diploma of Health Science, just part of its ongoing commitment to providing top-tier complementary health education. Today, as natural therapies practitioners build careers in integrated clinics alongside GPs and allied health professionals, SSNT graduates are right there amongst them. Clinical Myotherapy lecturer Adele Appleby believes the SSNT approach pays off. “Our graduates are excellent at focusing on the needs of the patient,” she says. Whether you are new to the field of complementary medicine, or an experienced practitioner seeking to broaden your existing skill set, when you attend SSNT you will become part of an extensive, supportive community. “It’s quite a caring, respectful environment,” says Naturopathy student Sasha Lilford. Much of this energy comes from the fact that SSNT’s students are passionate about learning. “The feeling is that everyone is here to learn how to heal,” says Clinical Myotherapy student Tanya Todd. The journey starts at SSNT’s Melbourne
campus, in the purpose-built teaching spaces in the heart of Brunswick Street, Fitzroy (some online subjects are also available for many courses). Whether it’s a workshop or a practical class, face-to-face learning at SSNT takes place in an active environment where theory and practice meet. SSNT also teaches a method of natural therapies that is infused with scientific rigour. “This means our graduates will be able to communicate with other professionals who might be talking about health from a Western medicine perspective. That’s really important,” says lecturer Ivana Baru, who teaches Bioscience and Biochemistry 1. While she admits that science subjects can be content heavy, Baru says the rewards are great for those students who put in the time. “Get ready to be blown away by what we’re going to be learning.” But at SSNT, learning isn’t limited to the classroom. All students have access to hands-on learning within The Wellbeing Clinic at Fitzroy campus. This muchvalued resource serves the needs of the surrounding community while providing students with supervised practical training throughout their studies. Working with a professional, multi-modality clinic team, students treat real patients, gaining experience in all aspects of working in, and running, their own clinical practice in a safe and supervised environment. While the clinic is great for learning, it’s also an excellent (budget-priced) service SSNT’s students love in its own right. Says
SSNT OFFERS PROGRAMS IN: Naturopathy Nutritional Medicine Western Herbal Medicine Chinese Medicine Clinical Myotherapy Health Science Massage
Josh Wood, “I use it consistently; I’ve had myotherapy and acupuncture treatments there. It helps keep me well for the time I need to spend at a desk studying.” SSNT’s students can also gain valuable practical experience through work placements at external clinics and practices. These placements help students learn a combination of skills to ensure they are industry-ready upon graduation. Naturopathy student Sasha Lilford has found that work placements help solidify what she’s learned in class. “I did a work placement with a GP who trained as a naturopath here. We did home visits; that was one of the most eye opening experiences of my life,” she says. Like many of SSNT’s students, Lilford has found that her studies are already paying off in ways she didn’t expect. “I’ve learned so much about how to manage myself in a busy life and keep myself grounded … I’m getting closer every day to where I want to be.” WELLBEING.COM.AU | 19

DOES YOUR CAREER NEED A HEALTH CHECK?
Students are drawn to NCC because of its longstanding reputation, established in 1973 and still going strong. Word of mouth still appears to be its closest ally: the power of the “word” has spread among the population and industry for the past 40 years. The college remains the number-one educator of natural medicine as supported by the Australian and international practitioner population. In order to get a feel for NCC, check out the three-minute video on its website homepage. You’ll be introduced to the college’s associate director of education and get a glimpse of some of the campus facilities. At the end of the video, you’ll see the following testimonial from Deepak Chopra, MD, doctor, international keynote speaker and author: “I am impressed with the natural health programs at Nature Care College. Their dedication to quality education is truly inspiring.”
Research published in the journal Human Relations found that employees who stayed at organisations out of either obligation or a perceived lack of other job options were more likely than other employees to experience physical health problems, including symptoms of exhaustion, stress and burnout. While this comes as no surprise, we often get stuck in a rut and some of us find it difficult to take that first step to promote change and find excitement in something new. It can be scary starting something new but life is short and there’s so much to do and learn in it, so don’t waste your life — start something new in 2014. If you enjoy helping people improve their health, wellbeing and self-esteem, and learning new skills while learning about yourself, Nature Care College offers professional training qualifications that may be the perfect stepping stone to achieving a healthy career change in your life.
NOT INTERESTED IN A CAREER CHANGE? Some people are just not interested in embarking on a new career but want to learn as much as possible about health and wellbeing for self-knowledge, their friends or family, without becoming a practising therapist. This is where the college’s certificates are the perfect choice for non-career seekers or, rather, “knowledge-seekers” wishing to gain valuable, insightful information that can be applied on a daily basis in the use and application of natural therapies and nutritional foundations. These certificates are offered on campus or via blended/distance learning in the studies of Naturopathy, Western Herbal Medicine, Homœopathy and Nutrition. If you live in Sydney, attending classes on campus is optimum. You’ll meet likeminded people and engage and learn from some of the best trainers in the field of natural medicine, coaching, counselling, yoga, meditation, bodywork and more, plus a diverse selection of short courses. Sydney students may also choose to mix study formats between on-campus and blended learning. If you live outside the Sydney area, you have the option to study via a blended learning format. In this study format, your
WHAT DO STUDENTS SAY? trainer/tutor will be in contact with you via email on a weekly basis. Because of the quality of the curricula, this is an excellent option for distance students. All enrolled students have remote access to the college’s library database, which houses thousands of journals and learning tools to augment your studies. The college’s trainers, who teach the core natural therapy subjects, are successful natural therapy practitioners and bring their firsthand experience and knowledge into the classroom — a great advantage to students embarking on a new natural medicine career.
Each term, classes are surveyed and students are invited to write a testimonial, like those below. These testimonials are sprinkled throughout the college’s website under the relevant qualifications or subjects. Discover how you can love your work and your life at Nature Care College’s Healthy Career Days, which are scheduled throughout the year, or the January 2014 Open Day. Alternatively, call +61 2 8423 8333 and make an appointment with a course advisor. For more information, visit naturecare. com.au or email info@naturecare.com.au.

The Reconnection Spotlight The Reconnection: Healing on All Levels Dr. Eric Pearl and The Reconnection Teaching Team visit Sydney offering several events in November. If you haven’t heard of The Reconnection and Reconnective Healing you might have heard of Dr. Pearl’s recent visit on the Dr Oz Show, where Dr. Oz was ‘flabbergasted’ by the on-camera healing he witnessed first hand. A woman who couldn’t raise her arms more than a foot from her hips for more than 20 years — and had tried every medical and alternative modality without success — instantly regained her full range of motion, raised her arms out and up over her head, fingers and hands touching, pain-free. According to The Reconnection, a new study by researchers at the University of Arizona has shown that people who have range of motion limitations in their arms and shoulders show a significantly greater level of healing and pain reduction with a 10-minute one-time session of Reconnective Healing than when treated with physical therapy. “Reconnective Healing is a simple, easy-to-learn, healing approach,” says Pearl, “which transcends ‘energy healing’ and its complexity. It accesses vibrational frequencies that are accessible to everyone. Without physically touching people, it frequently has instantaneous and life-lasting results for individuals with a broad range of health challenges.”
The study, coupled with the Dr. Oz segment, has propelled this revolutionary form of alternative healing into the public consciousness and to the forefront of new healthcare options. You don’t need medical insurance to take advantage of this new opportunity to obtain balance and wellbeing — you can learn Reconnective Healing to assist others and yourself in just one weekend. As part of a Friday night introduction at his seminars globally, Dr. Pearl invites one or more audience members with visible ailments on stage to demonstrate this work. Dr. Pearl has taught more than 75,000 people how to become catalysts for healings — both for themselves and others. Dr. Pearl is the author of The Reconnection: Heal Others, Heal Yourself — an international bestseller now translated into 36 languages — a book that relates his transformation from a highly successful Los Angeles chiropractor into the first Reconnective Healer when his patients began reporting sudden healings even though he physically had not touched them. “We are on the threshold of a whole new era of healthcare,” says Dr. Pearl. “And Reconnective Healing shows that we can take healing into our own hands.” For more information about Eric Pearl, The Reconnection and Upcoming Reconnective Healing events visit TheReconnection.com or call +1.323.960.0012.
