Metabolic Typing is an exciting new technology that addresses an individual's fundamental metabolic state. It helps to increase energy levels, enhance disease resistance, and normalise weight. As explained on our website: www.metabolictyping.com.au. Metabolic Typing does exactly what it claims: It "Takes the Guess-work out of Nutrition"! |

Rebecca Mitchell - OSTEOPATH Rebecca's enthusiasm for working at Gold Coast Holistic Health relates to the 'family practice' feel that exists here. All ages come, from seniors to babies, and people from all walks of life - sports, school, managerial, trades. Rebecca loves applying her knowledge and skills in this broad variety of situations, and has a particular passion for treating women. She is especially interested in the changes that occur in the body during and after pregnancy and the way in which Osteopathy can support these changes.
