When Julie Woods had to take a rest for ten minutes after having a shower this young, normally vibrant woman knew she had to find something that would stop her feeling like an old woman.

Having gone down the conventional path, her doctor told her that it was a virus that would run its course but, not convinced, Julie went to see homeopath Elaine Shaw.

This visit was to change her life. Not only was she introduced to phytobiophysics, she was cured within a matter of weeks.

Convinced by her own well being that phytobiophysics work, Julie had to find out more.She rang up Professor Dame Diana Mossop in Jersey, whose plants and flower formulas are based on the science of phytobiophysics. When Mossop answered the phone herself Julie got all the information she needed.

Having researched and documented her work for more than twenty years Mossop discovered these formulas could harness the vibration energy of plants to release energy blocks in the human body in order that the balance is restored on all levels of consciousness, spiritual, emotional, mental and physical. The result gives the body the ability to heal itself. Having experienced the benefits herself Julie then decided to train in Phytobiophysics.

A qualified nurse with Psychology and counselling training, Julie always had an interest in alternative medicine and was a qualified Reiki Master. At the time she was working in research and development for UCD in the Coombe hospital.

Julie then decided to study with Mossop in Jersey, London and Galway. For Julie this was a life-changing experience. Having looked at her own life to see where there was disharmony, Julie embarked on a process that has led her to open her own clinic.

On a miserable, cold January morning I went to visit her in her bright, cheerful rooms in Sandymount. I was curious to find out about this science which is part of the world of natural healthcare.

In the warm, quiet, relaxing atmosphere with the beautiful scent of oils wafting throughout the house, Julie takes a full medical history, taking note of any traumas you may have suffered.

She firmly believes that whatever has happened to you on all levels physical, mental and emotional remains in your body. So we all have issues in our tissues.

Without getting too technical a healthy body has a constant flow of energy at a specific level. When this energy flow is blocked it can result in disease, an indication of imbalance in your life.

Your first consultation can be quite a revealing experience. Initially you are asked to select from the heart lock box of little bottles the colour that most appeals to you. Each colour is attached to the top of a little bottle that when diagnosed holds the identity of what ails you. I was surprised to see that the results were correct.

Then an in-dept health analysis by Electro-Acupoint testing through contact points on your hands or feet enables Julie to get the combination of formulas that will work in order to restore harmony within your body.

Phytobiophysics formulas correct the imbalance to restore health on all levels of your life. The time passes very quickly and soon you’re leaving clutching these little bottles that hold the key that will unlock the blocked energy to hopefully give you a quality of life you may only have dreamed of.

I found it a fascinating experience and will be very interested in the results. Each person is different and a course of treatment could take from two to six sessions depending on the individual.

Julie was very generous with her time which helps get a complete picture of each person’s needs. So allow a good one and a half hours particularly for the first session.
