      Using a combination of Naturopathic, Herbal Medicine, Nutritional and Metaphysical Counselling techniques (or Spiritual Healing) - such as visualisation, past life regression, shape shifting, emotional release, NLP therapy, meditation techniques, and several other therapies utilising the power of the mind, he specialises in difficult to treat conditions, such as:

• Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, Type 1 diabetes and other Autoimmune Diseases,
 
• Naturopathic and natural therapies for the debilitatingly painful condition of Migraines and Cluster headaches. Specific meditation techniques may also be extremely powerful, in addition to some homeopathic remedies that have been successfully applied for migraine and other chronic pain conditions,
 
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), whereby he orders specific metabolic tests to determine the actual cause of this condition, specifically IgG blood tests for food allergies, Intestinal Permeability test for leaky gut syndrome, comprehensive hormonal tests for Thyroid and Adrenal function, and more - depending on the presenting symptoms of the client,
 
• Fibromyalgia, where Mark suggests a similar range of pathology tests to those mentioned above (with regards to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome),
 
• Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, including adult ADHD,
 
• Autism & Autistic Spectrum Disorder,
 
• Anorexia Nervosa - primarily by using the Spiritual Counselling techniques, especially age regression to assist in improving self-esteem, but many other techniques as well,
 
• Osteoarthritis - with lifestyle changes, and quality supplements (not calcium carbonate - which is actually chalk!),
 
• Major Allergies, whereby homeopathic desensitisation may be beneficial,
 
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), initially with a product called Iberogast, which has shown positive results in trials with IBS patients. After this initial treatment will come a lot more specific individualised treatment for the person, such as dietary suggestions, more comprehensive pathology testing, such as a comprehensive digestive stool analysis, and also herbal formulas which are appropriate for the person.
 
• Depression - a condition that can even affect people without them realising that they are actually clinically depressed. Now that is a depressing thought! On a more serious note, it may be associated with something quite simple, such as food allergies or inaapropriate food choices. So one of the initial tests that I suggest most depresed clients take is a comprehensive IgG blood test for allergens. For more resources on depression see: www.beyondblue.org.au/ . Another test I recommend is a check for the function of the Kreb's Cycle, disruption of which can contribute to many condiitons, including neurological disturbances that can lead to depression and ADD/ADHD.

      The investment in an initial Naturopathic Consultation is $285.00, and generally lasts for 1 hour, but you should allow up to an hour and a half. The investment for a follow up consultation, generally of 40 minutes or less, is $185.00.
