our philosophy
the lumina approach
A holistic, natural and hands-on approach to family health and wellbeing, with the nervous system at the centre of our focus.
We offer a holistic, natural and hands-on approach to family health and wellbeing. We consider your health from a personalised, functional perspective, with the nervous system at the centre of our focus.
Your family's optimal health and wellbeing is our top priority. Everyone has a place here, from expecting mums and new parents, to babies and children, teenagers, stressed-out dads and people in their 90s. Lumina is built around meeting your family exactly where you're at, and providing a safe, nurturing space for you and your family to reconnect, heal and thrive.
how we work
We understand that everyone carries their own life experiences and layers of accumulated, often long-standing stress, which affect the body differently and at varying intensities. That's why we take the time to understand the wider, holistic picture of your health: your history, your patterns, your day to day life, because the body and life are dynamic. That's also why we don't perceive any issues to be isolated events.
We find that when the nervous system is under prolonged stress or sudden acute stress it typically moves into survival and protection patterns. This is where we often see pain, symptoms and distress appear, either gradually or suddenly.
Lumina works with a unique blend of analysis and adjusting techniques. Every aspect of how we work is personalised to suit the person in front of us, and what that person needs on that particular day (which you may not even be aware of).
We're always listening, not just to your words, but to what your body is communicating. A newborn, a toddler, a mother in her third trimester, a stressed-out dad, a manual worker, and a grandparent may all need something different, and each receives care tailored and most appropriate to their individual needs and requirements in that moment.
behind lumina
Lumina takes its name from the Latin word for light, and we use it to acknowledge the brilliance and light within each and every one of us.
The eclipse in our logo represents the returning light. A reminder that change and new beginnings are always available to us, as we see the rhythms of nature mirrored in seasons of life. We believe your body is always working for you, and healing is an inside job, from the top down and inside out.
