Allergy Testing in Children: our chief practitioner in allergy testing and treatments is Jacqueline Dekoke… Jacq has over 20 years experience in natural health techniques and over 6 years experience specificially in allergies.
Did you know that there are effective natural treatments, with no side effects for allergies in children, and because at our clinic we do kinesiology to find the best treatment for you and your family… we can quickly and easily determine which supplements and treatments will work the fastest.
The key allergens we find in our clinic are:
- wheat and gluten allergens
- rice (is becoming a bigger problem as people are steering away from wheat and gluten)
- eggs (generally because of eggs in vaccinations…)
- preservatives, colourings and flavours
- peanuts
- tree nuts such as cashews
- dairy proteins and sugars
- amine allergies – not handling the proteins in foods, usually due to lack of hydrochloric acid in the gut
- nightshade family of foods
- salicylates (aspirin like substances in foods which causing leaky gut in sensitive people)
- town water supplies
There are others, but these are the ones we find the most in children.

It’s amazing to me how many people ring me on 4BC to ask about foot spurs, heel spurs and plantar fasciitis… It seems to be a very important, painful, and debilitating issue for many people in Australia.
Firstly, we need good connective tissue support so that the foot can heal and repair properly. Nutrients that can be used are things like silica, magnesium, calcium… Products that support connective tissue support: Metagenics Arthrex; BioCeuticals Silica liquid; Metagenics Cartrin; Blackmores SCF; Metagenics Glucosamine Intensive Care.
Secondly, ensure weight is optimal… carrying excess weight puts huge amounts of pressure on the feet, and they will of course, be inflamed over time. Foot spurs, heel spurs and plantar fasciitis and natural side-effects of long term weight issues. See us about our fat loss programme which has a fantastic success rate and saves you money long term.
Thirdly, structural balancing can be very beneficial: in our clinic we do:
- remedial massage to increase blood supply to the extremities
- structural kinesiology to balance hips, knees, ankles, feet
- foot manipulation to ensure all the bones of the feet are in correct positions
- frequency specific microcurrent to help to break down calcification in the joints
So, there really is plenty of help for heel spurs, foot spurs and plantar fasciitis. Call us today to book your appointment!

Current Bonus: 30% off your initial massage with both Katherine & Nathan – mention this website!! Our beautiful natural therapies clinic in Wynnum, Brisbane, has a fantastic remedial massage team: the key practitioners being Ms Katherine Lynn & Mr Nathan Leach. Other therapists with additional skills in naturopathy, kinesiology, frequency specific microcurrent and testing procedures such as live blood analysis and cellular analysis include Madonna Guy ND, Jacqueline Dekoke ND & Linda Hoggard ND. We also have Reiki sessions available with Gabby Graham.
Remedial Massage is very different today than it was 30 years ago. Today is becoming more and more recognised as a way of repairing muscles and tendons: these can be damaged through many problems in daily life – the product of overuse, trauma or bad posture.
Remedial massage involves a number of applied techniques involving deep pressure, trigger points released and longitudinal strokes on shortened and tight muscles to allow proper function and restore muscle strength.
Remedial Massage Technique: It uses several specialised techniques to locate and repair damage and to support and speed up the body’s own repair mechanisms. The massage is applied directly to the skin using a lubricating medium, usually oil, which ensures that the muscles associated with the disorder and mobilisation of the joint are deeply penetrated. Passive stretching moves are also used.
Benefits of Remedial Massage
Key benefits of Remedial Massage include: the stimulation to the blood supply allowing toxins in the muscles to be removed; the calming of the peripheral nervous system to ease pain and discomfort; and the toning and relaxing of muscles to improve joint mobility. An improvement to the health of the cells, the repairing of tissues, and the easing of stiffness and tension can also be experienced through therapeutic relaxation.
Muscular and skeletal dysfunctions often addressed with Remedial Massage include Fibrositis, Spondylitis, Arthritis, frozen shoulder, muscular cramps, Whiplash, muscular atrophy, sports and dancing injuries.
Ring and ask about our specials – we often have great bonuses available for first time clients!

There is effective, natural help and support for depression and mood disorders available at New Leaf Natural Therapies. Have you been told you’ll be on anti-depressants for the rest of your life for your depression? Have you tried, and failed, to get alternative help for those debilitating mood disorders? Been to psychologists and psychiatrists, but nothing ever seems to change? Have you been told nothing else will help since it’s just a ‘chemical imbalance in the brain’??
The great news is that there is help for depression and mood problems. There are very specific things we can do to help with depression and mood disorders. Our clinic has been dealing with depression and mood disorders since 1995 with great success. So if you are looking for another avenue to try, then look no further. We are a specialist naturopathic and kinesiology clinic with plenty of knowledge and experience with depression and mood disorders.
Basically depression and mood disorders are about hormonal imbalance (that’s the chemical imbalance they’re always talking about). Hormones are made of good fats and proteins and other nutrients. So when we’re talking about improving depression and mood disorders we have a system to deal with it.
Here are 5 keys to improving depression and mood disorders.
- Find out which nutritional deficiencies you have and deal with those. We have tests, questionnaires and processes to find out where the clinical nutritional deficiencies are and high quality supplements to improve these shortfalls. Depression and mood disorders may be linked to magnesium, potassium, calcium, zinc, iron, B12, folate and other B Complex, essential fatty acids, to name a few.
- We have products which improve specific hormonal/neurotransmitter deficiencies such as serotonin, dopamine and gaba. Proxan is a natural anti-depressant which improves serotonin levels, Gaba is a natural anti-anxiety capsule which improves gaba, the calming hormone, Prozestan is a natural supplement which improves dopamine, which helps give us the umph to get through the day, Stressan and Relaxan help to calm mood disorders which are linked to hormonal imbalances.
- We use kinesiology and/or frequency specific microcurrent to reset/reboot the nervous system and to ‘open up’ the conscious areas of the brain, which are the areas where happiness and feeling optimistic and looking forward to life, takes place. Kinesiology and frequency specific microcurrent help to diffuse deep survival patterns which have been running for weeks, months or decades. These are gentle processes which make huge changes to the way the brain functions.
- We need to reduce inflammation of the brain. It has been medically proven that depression and mood disorders are inflammatory conditions: the brain and spinal cord are inflamed, this disrupts the nerve conduction and makes it harder for many processes to function well. Inflammation also eats up many nutrients which are also necessary for creating our feel good hormones – therefore the process of being inflamed (which is a proven medical fact in depression and mood disorders) means that we have less serotonin, dopamine and gaba.
- Reducing pain and increasing relaxation. Many people with chronic depression and mood disorders are in pain (or take pain drugs regularly so therefore don’t feel pain) and their relaxation time isn’t actually relaxing. We recommend Remedial Yoga and Meditation Classes, infrared saunas, relaxing and lymphatic drainage massage and supplements to help REAL relaxation and REAL reduction in pain.
So, don’t just cover up your depression and mood disorders, come in and let’s fix your depression and mood problems today!

If you are after weight loss only, you can do it easily, but it’s not safe to lose muscle! Therefore we focus on permanent weight loss through aiming to lose only fat in our fat loss programme!
Many people want to lose body fat simply so they look good, however, having a high percentage of body fat is known to be one of the risk factors in just about every chronic disease known to man. Elevated fat mass also increases muscle aches and pains and reduces energy and causes chronic fatigue and general tiredness.
In Australia and New Zealand, obesity is skyrocketing with 55-65% of men and women currently overweight or obese. 20-25% of children are also overweight or obese. The good news is that even reducing your body fat by 10% greatly reduces your risk of chronic disease. We all know it, but here are 5 great reasons to lose weight…
- Looking good means feeling great. Excess body fat can affect your self-esteem. Meeting a challenge, improving your health and looking better can improve your sense of accomplishment, self-esteem and health in countless ways. You can do it!
- Improved energy levels. Overweight and obese people have much less energy than people who have a healthy body weight. More energy means more vitality.
- Reduced risk of developing many chronic diseases. Being overweight dramatically increases your risk of developing a number of chronic diseases. Losing weight and keeping it off improves your long term health!
- Healthy ageing. Obesity is related to unhealthy, premature ageing. Consider fat loss a type of “life insurance.”
- You can empower yourself. Losing body fat is an incredibly powerful experience. You are actualising something that only you have the power to do and only you will truly experience the personal reward.
Our fat loss programme, using regular cellular analysis (to ensure muscle maintenance and fat loss) also includes huge benefits such as:
- highly discounted tests such as live blood analysis, insulin resistance…
- highly discounted treatments such as lymphatic drainage massage for moving congestion…
- highly discounted kinesiology balances for emotional reasons for weight gain – stress, self-sabotage etc
Book in to talk to our naturopaths Jacqueline Dekoke or Madonna Guy today about our fat loss programme.

Have you been worried about your arthritis or the drugs you need to take to reduce your pain? We can help, right here in our beautiful professional clinic in Wynnum, Brisbane! With our Chronic Pain Programme you can use simple naturopathic treatments such as natural pain products and Frequency Specific Microcurrent to get you on your way!
Normal medical tests often miss out on some basic information that can really create an environment in your body where arthritis will just continue. Our naturopathic tests such as live blood analysis, our urine and blood tests and our cellular analysis (VLA) give loads of information that we can then work on with you to improve!
- how acidic are you??? We often see people 200 x more acidic then they should be, that means the minerals (calcium & magnesium) are being pulled from your bones, making them more brittle;
- how hydrated are you? The less hydrated the more acidic and inflamed your body is – see point 1!!
- where is your BMI? If your body mass index is over 30 (20% higher than perfect weight), the body is an inflammatory, stress creating, insulin resistant machine. That means that you’ll be more inflamed and acidic…
Are you seeing a pattern here? Therefore we work on, you guessed it, inflammation and acidity!!! Our frequency specific microcurrent machine helps to target specific areas of the body and reduces inflammation such as joints, tendons, bursa, joints, vertabra etc.
Talk to us today, and fix your arthritis! In our Chronic Pain Programme (payment plan) you also get other benefits such as:
- 1/2 price massage therapies with Katheine Lynn & Cherice Day (until we are fully booked)
- 1/2 price kinesiology sessions
- 1/2 price infrared saunas
- 1/2 price allergy testing and treatments with Jacqueline Dekoke and lots more!!!

Is your life, or the life of a loved one, hampered by chronic auto-immune conditions?
At New Leaf Natural Therapies we have had great success with auto-immune diseases such as Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis. Hope truly is out there if you have these, or other auto-immune disorders such as fibromyalgia, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, hashimotos & Graves Disease and much more. Our practitioners and team have a combined 60 years experience within the natural therapies industry, and plenty of experience with auto-immune diseases.
Interestingly, the experience our practitioners and I have had as newer, stronger and more effective supplementation is much available, has been even better. We utilise detoxification products (auto-immune conditions are heavily linked with heavy metal toxicity) and products which increase the production of stem cells, products which balance the immune system (as auto-immunity is like having an ADHD immune system – overworking to attack specific cells in the body).
We provide the following tests for people with chronic auto-immune disease:
- live blood analysis: looking at immunity, anti-oxidant levels, invisible toxicity, sluggish or overactive immunity, essential fatty acid levels and more;
- acidity levels – the more acidic the body is the more risk of chronic disease, the more minerals are ‘pulled’ from the bones, nerves, muscles and brain;
- reasons for auto-immunity – gut issues such as leaky gut, helicobacter, candida, celiac disease, insulin resistance. All of these conditions increase inflammation and toxicity levels in the gut, and the gut is home to over 70% of the immune system;
- BMI, fat mass & muscle mass readings with Cellular Analysis: if the BMI (body mass index) is over 30 then inflammation continues unabated in the body regardless of the amount of anti-inflammatories (natural or drug) are being taken, so working on the BMI is imperative.
So the treatment involves working on inflammation and acidity, the immune system, weight issues, toxicity levels, gut and liver health. Wow, can it be done??? It sure can, ask about our payment plans for saving you money on our programmes today!

Here are a few quick tips for weight loss, with the reasons why listed below. Weight loss can be challenging. Australia is gaining 6000 tonnes of fat per year, most weight loss programmes are NOT helping long term. Our weight loss programme focusses on FAT-LOSS and MUSCLE-GAIN and FLUID-BALANCE: this is the way to have sustained weight-loss long term without creating other health issues such as thyroid issues and diabetes.
- Eat a small portion of protein every 3-4 hours to keep your blood sugar balanced. Proteins and good fats contain little glucose which stores as fat. About 80-100g protein per meal, 5-6 x daily.
- Eat plenty of salad veggies and low-carb veggies. We need to eat 5-6 cupfuls of veggies per day to keep us alkaline throughout the weightloss process. The more acidic we are the less weight comes off.
- Know your thyroid numbers… take your temperature first thing in the morning before getting out of bed. If the temperature is less than 36.5 (consistently) your thyroid may be sluggish. Jacqueline Dekoke ND or I can prescribe natural supplements to help this problem. When the thyroid is dysfunctional it slows down every metabolic function in the body.
- Drink oodles of water. When the BMI is over 28 we find the body is ALWAYS dehydrated. Our high BMI and/or waist measurement over 88 are both high risks for many chronic diseases, which are also linked to dehydration and de-oxygenation of the body’s tissues. We get oxygen from breathing, water, and green leafy veggies.
- Avoid grains: rice, breads, cakes, biscuits, rolls… In weightloss grains have no value. Grains make the body more acidic which impacts negatively on weight loss. Grains are mostly carbohydrates and raise blood sugar, therefore causing the body to store fat.
- If weight loss doesn’t begin quickly, have yourself checked for the foods you are eating. Jacqueline Dekoke ND has a technique whereby we can find out if the body has an issue with particular foods. Sometimes we are eating a healthy food which isn’t doing us any favours – it may be making us acidic, not digesting and creating allergies, slow down our metabolism and cause tiredness and digestive issues.
Mostly, you need to know what your muscle mass is to start with. When we have held weight for a long time, we often lose muscle mass. This causes thyroid issues and chronic fatigue. Our Cellular Analysis (VLA) machine takes these measurements accurately and quickly. Therefore we can start you on the right treatments immediately to support your weight loss goals!
