ABOUT
Chris began his formal career in health and natural medicine graduating from Melbourne University in 1978 with a Bachelor of Human Performance – a four year undergraduate degree.
Over the ensuing years he continued to study graduating in all the major classical modalities in alternative, complimentary, traditional, natural and integrative medicine including German Electro-Medicine.
He began work in the health industry way back in 1972 at the age of 16 working in gymnasiums in Nunawading and Doncaster. After 2 years he then began to ‘unofficially’ treat people, as a type of health coach, by listening to their complaints trying to figure out what they needed and what would fix them naturally and prescribing exercise and diet programs with basic supplements and performing his own form of bodywork therapy and fitness tests. That’s how it all started.
He literally saw his first patient at 18 which was a male company executive seeking advice on weight loss, fitness, diet, nutrition and high blood pressure. He then went on to gain formal qualifications! He is now 67 and has continued faithful to the cause of natural medicine amid all sorts of ups and downs and practitioner challenges in the industry.
Chris has been involved in treating patients now for 49 years and has conducted more than 100,000 consultations treating everything from cancer to colds and in patients from top athletes to babies and geriatrics.
He is an accomplished public speaker and presenter and has a passion for electro-medicine, all herbal treatment philosophies (east and west), homeopathy, nutrition, sports science and somatic education as they pertain to health restoration, preventative health, human performance and longevity.
He has special interests in Energy Medicine, Mental Health (e.g. Anxiety, Depression, OCD etc), Respiratory Disease (e.g Asthma etc) and also Preventative Cardiology.
He is married with three children, four grand children and lives in Sunbury.
Sunbury Natural Medicine Clinic
Chris has worked in and has run several clinics over his years in practice to date in the eastern and western suburbs and in central Melbourne.
After all the clinics in different locations he now only practises from Sunbury. This particular clinic in Sunbury has been operational for over 33 years.
About the testing technologies
Chris uses various diagnostic means, including:
Iris Diagnosis – most people know what this is. The Iris can reveal surprising information about your constitutional make-up and is very useful to determine physical weaknesses and predispositions.
Kinesiology – This is a remarkable science and there are many forms of it that can be used in different ways. Chris uses a mixture of several kinesiological techniques but mainly Applied Kinesiology and mostly for musculo-skeletal conditions.
Pulse Diagnosis – This is the very sensitive art of detecting health patterns through various patterns in the human pulse.
Tongue Diagnosis – Many aspects of a person’s health are reflected in the tongue and its qualities.
Case History – A thorough case history that systematically explores chronological events and the many associated causes and relationships is a critical tool for discovery and revelation. Chris relies on
Face Diagnosis – The face provides an amazing amount of information about a person’s constitution and vitality.
Pathology – Various types of commercial lab tests are used as required.
Intuition – Chris is an excellent listener and is very intuitive when it comes to feelings, promptings and insights about a person’s health and emotional needs. This is a critical part of what he does and these feelings contribute some often deep and profound understandings for patients.
