Campaigner expands to natural health

A Umina resident known for her fight to save the rock pool environments of the Central Coast has expanded her business to offer natural health consulting.

Ms Jeannie Lawson has been known for her love of the ocean and whales as well as for the marine life of rock pools.

She is now offering consulting at the Gnostic Healing Sanctuary, Woy Woy, on Mondays, and The Neswell Room at MacMasters Beach on Thursdays.

Ms Lawson offers nutritional counselling, flower essences, past-life regression and shamanic drum healing.

A drum-making workshop will be held at the end of May, with an intensive workshop in flower essences scheduled for July.

Free talks on "the six stages of nutrition" will also be held at the Gnostic Healing Sanctuary on April 18 and May 9.

Through her business, Harmony Visions Health and Environmental Education Promotions, Ms Lawson has operated an eco-tour business in whale watching and marine education, as well as teaching bush regeneration.

"To me, health and the environment go hand in hand.

"Looking after yourself and living more naturally puts you more in touch with the natural world, makes you more aware of how great a part the environment plays in our everyday lives," Ms Lawson said.

"I began studying natural therapies in the 1980s and specialise in naturopathic nutrition and flower essences.

"The health of our bodies depends on our emotional state and the foods we eat.

"The foods we eat depend on a healthy environment.

"As with the environment, I believe that education empowers people.

"If people can learn better ways of looking after themselves, then they can change their whole lives."
