Elizabeth Bray

Registered Nutritional Therapist &Associate Naturopath

Nutritional Therapy, Allergy Testing, Weight Loss, Health Problems. Practising since 2005,
I see clients with a wide range of health problems, offering allergy testing for both foods and 
airborne substances, optimising health through natural nutrition with the use of supplements if required. I use scientific laboratory testing to assess and identify nutritional imbalance that may be contributing to symptoms.

•  Tests for vitamin D levels, toxic and essential minerals, essential fatty acid levels, zinc levels, chronic fatigue, imbalances in gut flora, Candida and many others. Weight problems often result from their association with allergies and food intolerance.
• Food intolerance testing, lgG antibody blood test, symptoms often result from eating foods that are causing a problem.
• Identifying nutritional balance, supporting the body towards maintaining health, providing personalised and effective nutrition programmes. My philosophy is that food, used to its best advantage , maintains and restores health. I frequently work alongside other healthcare and medical practitioners if needed.

Degree qualified in herbal medicine and health sciences at The University of East London and a diploma in nutrition at The College of Natural Nutrition in Bristol.  Registered with BANT, the Professional Association for Nutritional Therapists, the NNA (Naturopathic Nutrition Association), CNHC (complementary & Natural Healthcare Council) registered practitioner.

Nutritional Therapy Descriptor

'A health and nutrition questionnaire is sent to the client to complete. The practitioner  asks detailed questions about current health concerns, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, medical history, family history, lifestyle, levels of physical activity, use of medication, supplements and diet. The practitioner then evaluates these results at the consultation which takes one hour.'

'Using the extensive evidence base for nutritional science, a personalised, safe and effective nutrition and lifestyle programme is developed. Follow up appointments may be recommended, but are not always necessary.'

It is important to choose a qualified nutritional therapist who has undertaken all the necessary training. By choosing a Nutritional Therapist who is a member of BANT you can be confident that they follow the strict BANT code of Professional Practice & have professional indemnity insurance for clinical practice.'

Yoga in the traditional way!

Begin your yoga journey with Eleni. 

Eleni is offering 6 private yoga classes for just £60

Imagine the benefits from having 1:1 teaching over the course of 6 sessions.

Eleni's view is that the 5,000 year old multi-faceted tradition called Yoga refers to one thing only and that is Happiness.

Yoga can clear the mind and lead to a harmonious, peaceful and happy life. 

It can be a means to explore your true self and help you identify your thoughts, emotions and conditional behaviours.

What is kinesiology?

Kinesiology, through muscle testing, uses the body's biofeedback mechanism to gain information about the client. Muscle testing is non-invasive and locates imbalances in the realms which make up a human being. These realms are structural, energetic, mental emotional and nutritional. If a muscle circuit has an imbalance or deficiency in any of these realms it will effect how the muscle responds.

Balance is restored by light touch, energetic tools, lymphatic massage and emotional techniques. When a muscle is strengthened by a combination of any of these energy is released which enhances all functions and the muscle.

Our new therapist, Jane, is a kinesiologist. She has been practicing for many years from the Natural Health Practice in Exeter.

Jane will be joining the team here at Axminster Health and Wellbeing Centre from January 2015. She is taking bookings now for the New Year so please feel free to give her a call on 07850565182

New Yoga Sadhana class with Eleni Markante 

Every Wednesdays 10 - 11.30 am    (6 classes £40)

Also one to one sessions available on request

Eleni had her first taste of Yoga in 1997 at the Life Centre in Notting Hill, London, and fell in love with the practice.

On relocating to Athens,Greece, she practised at the NYSY Studios and it was here that she took her 200hrs/NYSY/Yoga Alliance/Bhakti Flow teacher training under the loving care of Vivi Letsou and Rusty Wells.

As a visionary and activist for positive change, she loves to share the way of Yoga and as a permanent student, she is trained in different styles only to find that the path of her evolution is partly in her heart and in the hearts of those she meets.

Classes are breath focused to quiet the mind and challenging to purify the body. There is no prerequisite to be flexible or strong, fit or young - just turn up, get to know yourself and keep coming back to practice.

Eleni teaches group and private Yoga sessions.
