Jo-Anne Barron

Good health is everyone’s birth right. Good health doesn’t have to be a struggle. My aim is to empower my clients to make better choices and feel as passionate as I do about healthy eating, healthy lifestyle choices and self-care. The answer to vibrant health is not found in a bottle, it is the whole package - how we treat ourselves, how we feed ourselves, how we talk to ourselves, how we love and are loved in return.

I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and supporting you to reach your health and wellbeing goals – the sky’s the limit!

As a qualified herbalist and nutritionist I offer naturopathic advice on prevention of ill health; how to have more vitality and better energy; good gut health; preconception care; healthy ageing; and women’s health (from menstrual health to mid-life and beyond).

Every consultation with me is a conversation, aimed at providing you with meaningful, useful information and recipes for better health that you can use forever, share with friends and family and actually fit into your daily life with ease. I use herbs to cleanse and strengthen the body.

Nothing changes if nothing changes. Be a verb about your health, and put an ‘ing’ behind everything – doing, being, loving, exercising, cooking, eating, napping, communicating, and caring for your self. Let me show you how easy it can be!

Taking time out on a regular basis to feel the compassionate touch of a healing massage is an essential part of self-care. To truly be at your best you need to be able to listen to your body and clear your mind. Massage is a great stress reliever and a super way to hit the reset button. It allows you to think with clarity, find stillness, and refocus on what really matters.

With 20 years of massage experience I use a combination of massage techniques including Hawaiian KaHuna & Lomi Lomi massage, Remedial & Swedish massage, Aromatherapy and Hot Stone massage.  I also offer Pregnancy Massage with the unique bodyCushion system which allows the pregnant mum to really lie comfortably during her massage session – check our Pregnancy Massage page for more details including photos.

My professional qualifications include:

• Diploma of Herbal Medicine
• Diploma of Nutrition
• Certificate in Natural Fertility Management
• Diploma of Remedial Massage
• Diploma of Aromatherapy
• Level 6 Hawaiian Ka-Huna Massage and Healing
• Certificate of Iridology with Iris Tech Australia

I have been working as a natural therapist since 1992. I started as an Aromatherapist and Massage Therapist and then went on to study Herbal Medicine, Nutrition and Iridology. In 1998 I was granted the status of Naturopath by the ATMS (Australian Traditional Medicine Society) one of the leading associations for complimentary medicine in Australia.

• Physiotherapist
• Orthopedic Manipulative Therapist
• Qigong Practitioner/Trainer
• Muscle Imbalance Practitioner
• Acupuncturist

I started my studies in medicine by becoming a Registered Nurse in 1981. In 1986 I completed my physiotherapy degree after studying in Zagreb, Croatia for 4 years. During this time I was fortunate to be introduced to Prof. Vladimir Janda’s Muscle Imbalance principles of treating the musculo-skeletal system. A Professor of Neurophysiology, Vladimir Janda from the Czech Republic, was a pioneer of Muscular Imbalance principles, which later developed into the core strengthening principles and principles of neuro-muscular kinetics.

I migrated to Australia where I have continued my studies in the field of physiotherapy. In 1998, after 5 years of studying, I graduated with a Masters of Health Science Orthopedic Manipulative Therapy. Orthopedic Manipulative Therapy was developed by Prof. Olaf Evjenth and Prof. Freddy Kaltenborn from Germany and uses the principles of functional biomechanics and applied anatomy in the treatment of the musculo-skeletal system.

I have been training in martial art techniques and principles since the age of 16. Over the last 15 years I have been training in Lohan Qigong and Acupuncture with Grand Master Jong Fa Chen in Sydney.

During a consultation:

• my understanding of muscular imbalance / neuromuscular kinetics helps me understand why our muscles and nerves behave in a certain way – why they are tight, weak or just not working.
• Knowledge of Orthopedic Manipulative Therapy / functional biomechanics helps me diagnose what is happening with your joints and spinal discs. Which joints require manipulation and which joints require stabilization or support?
• My personal experience, knowledge and understanding of Qigong helps me understand your Qi flow and/or Qi blockages.

Over the last 17 years I have been using a combination of all 3 above-mentioned principles in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the musculo-skeletal system and of course, all 3 principles compliment and overlap each other.

I am very fortunate that I had the opportunity to learn and continue to learn with such great teachers. After all, I always wanted to be a physiotherapist and musculo-skeletal practitioner

Depending on what is affecting your musculo-skeletal system I  will do one or more of the following treatments:

• biomechanical and kinesiological analysis of the musculo-skeletal system identifying the dysfunctional pattern that is causing the pain or problem
• spinal adjustments
• sports injury treatment, physiotherapy
• physical exercises
• sports massage, myofacial release or deep tissue massage
• relaxing massage
• qigong breathing exercises
• qigong therapeutic exercises
• acupuncture for the musculo-skeletal system
• qigong and acupressure massage
