Rebecca Alliker from www.kanikernaturalhealth.co.uk tells her inspiring story. Seven years ago, when I was suffering from the sudden onset of severe and very irritating eczema, I would never have thought that I would now be opening my own natural health centre in Blythe Bridge, Stoke.

This is even more surprising as, at the time, I was certain that nothing would be able to clear up my skin. The creams from the Doctor’s weren’t working and elimination diets were difficult to follow and my skin was actually getting worse!

A friend recommended that I try Health Kinesiology. Full of scepticism I went along for my first session, not even knowing what to expect. But since that day I have never looked back - not only did my skin clear up but my sense of well-being was better than ever. My skin is now so clear that some people don’t even believe that I ever used to suffer from eczema.

I decided I had to find out more about Health Kinesiology so I booked onto the very next training course - and my passion for health was ignited.

I have now been practicing Health Kinesiology for four years in Shrewsbury, Shropshire where I have a thriving practice.

A move to Blythe Bridge, Stoke-on-Trent inspired me to open a practice closer to home - the Kaniker Natural Health Centre. Here I offer Health Kinesiology, Allergy Testing, a Weight Loss Clinic and a Children’s Clinic. Angela Bradbury also works from the centre and provides Aromatherapy, Reflexology, Swedish Massage and Reiki. We are both very passionate about improving the health and well-being of others. Common complaints that we deal with are IBS, headaches/migraines, eczema, asthma and stress. I also run one-day workshops on allergies and health and well-being.

One of the things that I feel people lack today is an awareness of what they can do to help themselves and of how things actually affect them. I believe that, with the right information, people really can change their lives.

With this dedication to providing information I joined together with Wire member Penny Parrott of the Stafford Website Company and, together, we have created a fabulous website. The site not only tells you what we have going on at the Kaniker Natural Health Centre but is also an information resource to help people make informed choices to create great health and well-being for themselves.

One of my particular concerns is the amount of chemicals that we are in contact with on a daily basis. This increase is directly linked with the increase of immune disorders such as allergies, asthma and ME.

This really struck home to me when studying for a detoxification college course where I learnt that you could absorb 2kgs of chemicals into your body just from what you put onto your skin! So I decided to help people reduce their daily contact with toxins and included a shop on the website which sells skin care products that are made from natural ingredients. The products contain no harmful chemicals, have not been tested on animals and many are organic.

To celebrate the launch of my website and to offer my commitment to your health, I am offering Wire members a 10% discount on all orders placed through the website – just use the discount code "wireuk" at the check out.
