About Health Essence
Our approach to your health is based on four principles.
- Your body, mind, emotions, and spirit form an inherently wise, integrated system. That system actually knows what it needs to be healthy and sends you clear signals when it is not in balance as an early warning mechanism. You can learn to read these signals.So, it is our job, at Health Essence, to help you identify the signals, understand what they mean, and take the steps your system needs to bring it back into balance.
Based on what your system tells us it needs, we will provide the homeopathic, nutritional, and lifestyle support designed to help you restore balance.
- To provide you with the best and most relevant support, we stay continuously updated on the latest research findings in every field of health and wellbeing.We then distil this understanding to equip you with remedies and advice that will enable you to gain and keep control of your health. Our objective is to establish a diminishing need for our assistance.
- To achieve all this, we take the time upfront to understand your needs fully so as to provide you with support and guidance that is directly suited to your specific circumstances.
- We work as your health partner rather than your health provider.
Dr Estie Terblanche
Estie qualified in 1998 as a general practitioner (MBChB) at the University of Pretoria.
During her two years of community service in rural clinics in the Northern Cape, she began to understand that specific living conditions, core family relationships and the broader economic and environmental pressures at play throughout the entire communities directly impact a person’s health.
During the ensuing eight years spent at the Kimberley Hospital applying the principles of conventional medicine in the oncology, pediatric, and internal medicine departments, she never lost the feeling that there was more to ‘healing’ than conventional medical disciplines account for.
She also never forgot that it was homeopathy and not conventional medicine that had helped her with the period of chronic fatigue she suffered in high school. While working at the hospital, she took the four-year post-graduate diploma course in homeopathy (MFHOM SA), which was run by the South African Faculty of Homeopathy and accredited by the British Faculty of Homeopathy and the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa.
She graduated in 2006 and a year later, started her own health practice – Health Essence.
She has since qualified as a Food and Spirit practitioner and is finishing registration as a functional medicine practitioner.
