Mizan (pronounced Mi-zahn) is an Arabic word that means balance. By using traditional reproductive healing techniques (utilising abdominal massage), Mizan Therapy helps restore balance when life feels unbalanced – physically, emotionally or spiritually.
Do you suffer from menstrual pain? Are you struggling with infertility and want to get pregnant without the invasive treatments and extreme costs of IVF? Do you have PCOS? Do you have digestive problems, or IBS? Are your menopausal symptoms embarrassing? Have you had any abdominal surgery, including caesarean section? Are you pregnant or just had a baby? Have you recently had a stillbirth, miscarriage or termination? Mizan Therapy can help with any of these – and many more!

I had been struggling for a long period of time with hormonal symptoms such as chronic pain, pms, low energy levels, dizziness, mood swings and sugar cravings. I had been seeking treatment from doctors and other naturopaths for a long time with little to no results and was starting to feel a bit desperate. I was finally diagnosed with adenomyosis but still had no appropriate treatment.I did some research and saw that Mizan therapy had been used in some cases with positive results. Virginia was one of the practitioners who offered this treatment so I booked an appointment. Virginia started doing Mizan therapy with me on a monthly basis and put me on a course of herbs and supplements.Within 3 months I started to see great results. My hormonal issues and chronic pain have significantly decreased, I am back to exercising and having no more regular time off work each month. My results have been life changing and I can’t recommend Virginia highly enough![Posted on Facebook by Marcelle Jordan on Saturday, January 26, 2019 ]
