About Me
Hi my name is Martine Coombs
Health and fitness has been a fascination to me for many years. In fact, as far back as the age of five, when I joined the school gymnastics & dance club, where I enjoyed the energetic feel and health benefits right up to the age of fifteen. I guess that was then hooked. I was chosen for many sporting teams events at school and after leaving, my interests developed into Weight/Circuit training and participating in many different cardiovascular activities such as Aerobics, Squash, Badminton, Running, Cycling and Swimming.
In 1992 I qualified as a Fitness & Aerobics Instructor and continued instructing on a freelance basis until 2001. Family commitments and personal circumstances, lead me in a different direction into sales and marketing for the next eight years, but my passion for fitness grew as a hobby in my spare time throughout those years, again participating in many new types of fitness including Yoga, Tai Chi, Power Walking and continuing with Weight Training, Cycling, Running, Swimming and all types of class orientated exercise.
My interest in massage dates back to a child, as I clearly remember massaging my mothers feet of an evening after her days work and over the years, I would always be the one to massage friends or a partner with an aching back or shoulders etc. I have also always enjoyed receiving massage and have learnt about other holistic therapies over the years. I enjoy keeping up with the latest research and learning about new therapies by being a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT) adhering to their Continual Personal Development (CPD) policy.
I have always had a great passion for healthy eating and consider myself as a bit of a foodie enjoying cooking and experimenting with exciting nutritional recipes. I intend to further my knowledge and understanding of nutrition by taking a diet and nutritional course to enable me to advise clients on how to eat healthily and get the most out of their food intake as I believe this is an important part of the Holistic approach to a healthy lifestyle. In fact I intend to continually broaden my knowledge into other aspects of holistic therapy such as Thai Massage & Thai Herbal Compress, as I have great interest in the Thai culture and their way of healing.

DAYBREAK HEALING
Dawn Waterfield is a registered Natural Healer and member of the British Alliance of Healing Associations.
Modern living, anxiety, stress, grief and worry can all lead to dis-ease in our physical, mental and etheric bodies producing a variety of physical symptoms. Healing can help many conditions from a sense of 'not just feeling well' 'off balance' or lacking in confidence' to distinct medical illnesses. Healing may help headaches, migraine, IBS, sleep disorders and also depression and bereavement.
Healing is distinguished from other therapies by being non-invasive, no medicines or drugs are given and no major inroad into the body or mind is made.
It seeks the wholeness of the patient by the power of unconditional love, bringing the spirit, mind and body into harmony and releasing more fully the inbuilt curative powers of the body so they they become active.
It recognises the source of healing to be divine or universal energy, working in and through those who channel it.
Dawn starts each session with a short guided meditation. During the healing session you will experience a sense of total relaxation in the body and mind.
Please note this therapy is not intended to replace conventional medicine.

What is.....
Ever wondered what something was?
Using the links on the left we have provided some information on popular holistic treatments.
We hope that you will find the information useful.
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy is a treatment facility using thermal and mechanical sound waves causing minor heat and expansion micro gas bubbles into the tissues inducing effective healing both deep and superfically. This helps to decrease the inflammatory response, reducing tissue swelling and thus decreasing pain. While ultrasound therapy is not effective for all chronic pain conditions, it may help reduce your pain if you have any of the following:
Osteoarthritis
Myofascial pain
Bursitis
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Pain caused by scar tissue
Plantar Fasciitis
Muscle Sprains & trauma
Tendonitis
Aromatherapy started in Sumer at the mouth of the Euphrates River around 3000BC. At least that is the earliest records exist. Simple stills were used where Myrrh, aromatic grasses and gums were heated in water to provide a fragrant steam
The Egyptians even had a God of Fragrance and Perfumes, Nefertem, that was how important aromatics were to well-being of the mind and body.
Aromatherapy is the systematic use of essential oils in holistic treatments to improve physical and emotional well-being. Essential oils, extracted from plants, possess distinctive therapeutic properties, which can be utilised to improve health and prevent disease
These natural plant oils are applied in a variety of ways:
Massage (most used method)
Baths (add a few drops to warm water)npcomments-->
Inhalations (not for asthmatics)
Aromatherapy is an especially effective treatment for stress-related problems and a variety of chronic conditions.
Essential Oils - An essential oil is an aromatic, volatile substance extracted from a single botanical source by distillation or expression. Essential oils have been utilised in fragrances, flavours and medicines for thousands of years. There are some 400 essential oils extracted from plants all over the world. Some of the popular oils used in aromatherapy today include chamomile, lavender, rosemary and tea tree.
Is there any evidence? -
Many researchers have shown that when they are applied to the skin or inhaled, essential oils are absorbed into the bloodstream and metabolised in the body, (Preen C. (2005) Today's Therapist (35) 2-4) substantiated by Aromatherapy Science, Pharmaceutical Press 2006 Chapter 7 p.78.
Clinical trials have shown that when applied topically, some essential oils, including Tea Tree oil, have antibacterial and [antimicrobial/antiseptic] properties (Hay et al. Arch Dermatol. 1998; 134:1349-1352) and that Peppermint oil may optimise/maintain a healthy digestive system (Stevensen C.J. Fundamentals of CAM, Churchill Livingstone 1996:137-148).
There are many studies that demonstrate how essential oils can positively affect mood and the sense of well-being. Buckle J. Alternative Therapy Health Med.1999 (5):42-51 states that studies suggest that essential oils induce mood changes. Essential oils also impact on brain wave activity, creating either stimulating or relaxing effects (Stevensen 1996).
Information Supplied by The Aromatherapy Council
Chroma Therapy or Colour Therapy as it is also known uses colour in a variety of ways to promote health and healing. It is a system of healing that dates back to ancient Egypt. Ancient Egyptians built solarium-type rooms, which could be fitted with colored panes of glass. The sun would shine through the glass and flood the patient with color.
Although Sir Isaac Newton, in the late 17th century, identified that light is composed of a mixture of colours, real interest in the healing properties of light did not re-emerge until 1878, when Dr Edwin D. Babbit published Principles of Light and Colour.
Further research on the effects of colour on disease was carried out by Dr Sinsha P. Ghadiali (1873-1966), who developed a system of coloured filters that could be used for healing. In 1947, a Russian researcher, S. V. Krakov, conducted experiments on the ways in which colour affects the nervous system.
Krakov identified, for example, that red light stimulates the adrenal glands, raising the blood pressure and pulse rate, whereas blue or white light have a calming effect. Many recent studies have shown that full spectrum light is necessary for well-being, and it is often used to treat SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and other forms of depression.
How does it work?
According to ayurveda (the Indian therapy which is, probably, the oldest system of healing in the world) the body has seven energy centres, which are called chakras. Although the chakras cannot be seen, they have a very important role to play in our health and well-being.
Each chakra is linked to physical organs within the body as well as mental and emotional states. In addition, each chakra is linked to one of the colours of the visible spectrum. For example, the chakra at the top of the head is linked to the colour violet; the brow chakra is linked to indigo, the throat chakra is linked to blue, the heart chakra is linked to green, the solar plexus chakra is linked to yellow, the lower abdomen chakra is linked to orange and the chakra sited at the base of the spine is linked to red.
Colour practitioners take the view that a blocked or ailing chakra will result in the manifestation of a physical, mental or emotional imbalance or illness. The aim of colour therapy is to cleanse, open, balance and strengthen these seven energy centres and the physical organs to which each chakra is linked.
Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy, an energy which is all around us.
