Acupuncture
“After 2 years trying for a baby and being put on the IVF waiting list, I decided to try Acupuncture as I had heard it helps while trying naturally as well as with IVF treatments. After a month of Acupuncture, Reflexology and Herbs I found out I was pregnant (Quicker than usual). I was very happy. Sarah 30/8/08”

Buteyko
- Janet Winter
Janet will be available to explain the basis of the method, provide free assessments and describe the Buteyko course. She can provide information about Buteyko for health care professionals.
Ecotherapy
Ecotherapy draws its ideas from both ancient and modern practices. Research has shown that simply connecting with nature can have a very benefical effect on mental well-being, and help alleviate many very common conditions such as anxiety, depression, stress and addictions. Nature-based personal development deliberately encourages a deep connection with nature, and then utilises this relationship for therapeutic purposes. Nigel Magowan provides ecotherapy, via group settings and one-on-one sessions, in wild camping weekend retreats and shorter workshops, held in countryside and parkland settings.
Nigel will be providing a taster session of Ecotherapy conducted on Chorlton Meadows, offering an introduction to its principles and practices, in the form of a brief talk, games and exercises, many of which have a meditative and reflective element.

Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a system of medicine which involves treating the individual with highly diluted substances with the aim of triggering the body's
natural system of healing. Based on their individual symptoms, the homeopath matches the most appropriate medicine to each patient.
It is based on the principle that you can treat 'like with like'.
At the Festival I will be offering a free initial homeopathic consultation and information/advice on the use of homeopathy for first aid and longer term health problems.
Trish James is a Registered Homeopath based in Chorlton. Contact: 07754 460 172/ 0161 881 6845
Meditation
Vairochana Centre offer regular classes on meditation and positive thinking, using wisdom from the Buddhist teachings. Meditation calms and clears the mind, leading to inner stillness, and positive thinking eliminates patterns of unhealthy thinking or emotion, leading to inner strength. This inner stillness and strength has a beneficial impact on our life, health and relationships.
Visit our stall to discover the benefits of meditation and positive thinking, and pick up a voucher for a free meditation class.

Shiatsu
- Susan Dawson
Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing experience and benefits a range of conditions including back and joint pain, digestive problems, gynecological disorders, fatigue, depression and most conditions that have stress as an underlying cause. It uses a variety of techniques to improve energy flow. These may include gentle holding and rocking, pressing with palms, fingers, thumbs and when appropriate, more dynamic rotations and stretches.
A session usually takes place on a padded mat at floor level with the client staying fully clothed, so it is best to wear loose comfortable clothing. It can also be received in a seated position. If you would like to know more about Shiatsu or try it for yourself, I will be offering taster sessions at this years Big Green Festival.
