The TOP 10 BEST Aromatherapy in East Mackay QLD

Good Shepherd Village is a 42 unit Retirement Village Complex providing the elderly Mackay community with a trusted retirement community. So trusted in fact that Good Shepherd Lodge is celebrating 42 years this year in East Mackay. This complex is owned by Good Shepherd Lodge Ltd Trustee for Good Shepherd Lodge Charitable Trust. Stage 1 was officially opened in 1987 and was the first Retirement Village to be built in Mackay. The second stage known as Brampton Villa's initially opened in 1997 with a further 4 units being completed in December 2000. In 2011, 10 units were refurnished in Lindeman Lodge. They are very popular, being co-located within Good Shepherd Lodge Residential Aged Care complex. For this reason alone, the Good Shepherd Village can offer more services to its residents than the average retirement village. The Good Shepherd Village consists of 16 two bedroom units and 6 one bedroom units which are strategically placed to maximise the privacy of residents, and take advantage of the prevailing breezes. Brampton Villa's consist of 13 two bedroom units with private courtyards. Lindeman Lodge consists of 10 units - 7 two bedroom units with private courtyards and 3 one bedroom units. Residents are encouraged to maintain their community affiliations. They are more than welcome to join in any of the wide range of activities offered at the lodge. Not only do they find this entertaining but it also provides the opportunity for them to meet people and make new acquaintances. It is our aim that residents find a happy companionship where they can enjoy independence and privacy within a community lifestyle. Good Shepherd Lodge Residential Aged Care and Nursing Home offers supported living to family members who are unable to live independently.

We believe that for a large proportion of ageing residents some form of dementia is quite common. Most are able to be cared for within the general high and low care environment with only minimal interventions required, which are "tailored" to suit the individual. Some, however will be required to have more specific care plans developed, where specialized staff, including diversional therapists, nursing and other allied health staff conduct activities and programs that are dementia specific. All areas have been designed to be dementia friendly, with tactile walls, gardens, pets, and activity rooms for craft. A homely environment has been the aim with all single, ensuited rooms accessing a central courtyard and extensive secure gardens. All rooms are specifically designed to incorporate modern technology to monitor residents without invading their privacy. Families are encouraged to visit and participate in activities and qualified staff are on hand to support them in coming to terms with a loved one's condition and behaviours. Residents are encouraged to participate in appropriate general activities such as chapel, singing, sitting dance, and bingo and where necessary are accompanied by staff from their area to avoid unnecessary confusion. Bus outings are provided weekly as all residents enjoy getting out and about within various areas of the community. WAVES HAIR SALON Contact Reception to make an appointment today.

Julie Williams is the owner of the Walkerston Natural Therapies Centre, which she has been operating since 1998. Julie holds relevant qualifications in bowen therapy, remedial massage, Tuina (Chinese body therapies), reiki, orion healing, aromatherapy, reflexology, dry needling and is also an instructor in natural therapy practices. Prior to moving to Walkerston in 1995, Julie worked as a healthcare worker in the outback Northern Territory before moving to Darwin to teach natural therapies and beauty therapy. In 2006 Julie took extended leave from her business and sailed the Australian coast from east to west. Following this, Julie moved to the Philippines and set up a clinic in a poverty-stricken area, teaching local people and healthcare workers bowen therapy for medical emergencies. In 2010 Julie returned to the clinic in Walkerston where she continues to work as a practitioner. In 2011 Julie taught bowen therapy in the Solomon Islands improving life and giving hope to those less fortunate. Julie continues to donate her time to developing countries teaching Bowen Therapy for medical purposes. Bowtech is a gentle form of bodywork in which very subtle moves performed over the muscles and connective tissue send messages deep into the body, retrieving cellular memory of a preferred relaxed way of wellbeing. Results can be remarkable, even from the first session; often only a few sessions are needed to correct the presenting problem. There are frequent but very essential pauses throughout the session that allow the body time to respond and begin the healing process. The practitioner can target a specific problem or address the body as a whole SCENAR therapy is unique because it interactively locates, measures and prompts problem areas in the body (active points) through the skin to help relieve pain and restore function, without the need for diagnosis.
