Testimonial of Alison Marshall
Prior to the chronic illness, I was a fit and healthy owner of a dance studio. I was completely hands on and very involved in the studio teaching 15 or more classes per week and dancing publicly with the students in our end of year performances. At age 43 I was still doing acrobatics including 9 back flips on stage.
In January 2001 I was diagnosed with a large tumour on my adrenal gland. After major surgery via a large kidney incision , and removal of the tumour, an adrenal gland and rib, I was told that I would recover and be able to do back flips again within a year. This did not happen. I spent the next 4 years being tested for every imaginable disease. All with no positive results and all the while living in a situation of deteriorating health in every area physically, mentally and emotionally and not knowing why. At one point I weighed 41kg, couldn’t remember how to drive home in a small town I had lived in for 16 years, or close friends names. Had clinical depression and my family and friends feared they would be saying goodbye to my physical being. My health continued to deteriorate through misdiagnosis to a point where I ended up in St Vincents Hospital Melbourne. After extensive tests over a 2 week period, I was diagnosed with an incredibly rare and complicated illness called MEN Type 1. (Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia) I was told most doctors would never see a MEN 1 patient in their life time. Thus the unawareness of many doctors to help me fully.
In my case, the MEN Type 1 syndrome produced tumours on most every endocrine gland through out my body. I was told I had tumours in the Pituitary gland in the brain, Parathyroids, Breast, Pancreas, Kidney, Liver, Lung. I have experienced several surgery’s. During the last surgical procedure for removal of Parathyroids, Thymus and half my Thyroid, the results returned as Positive for Papillary Thyroid Cancer. Some medical professionals suggest this is an unrelated illness to the MEN 1 Syndrome. Due to complications and an immediate 2nd operation on my throat, I was unable to have a completion thyroidectomy and radio active iodine therapy as desired by medical professionals. As unusual as it may sound for some, I am actually very grateful.
Throughout my wellness journey, I have always been pro active using many alternative, holistic and natural therapies from vitamins to past life journeys, personal development courses. Meditation, TCM, massage, Nia movement etc. I have always kept a positive attitude and mind set, and a strong will to live, even in the midst of seemingly overwhelming circumstances. I noticed that when I really needed assistance, it would always come to me through the most incredible people /practitioners and wonderfully miraculous ways.
I had experienced Chronic Diarrhea for some 20 years prior to the diagnosis. To the point of it being uncontrollable whilst I slept. This was most embarrassing, debilitating and dehydrating. After diagnosis I was told this was because of the pancreas tumours. Bloating and severe reflux was also on the daily agenda.
A huge part of my healing journey has been with a Japanese company called NIKKEN, which promotes MAGNETIC PRODUCTS and ALKALIZING WATER to detoxify the body. Also PROGURT.
These products have assisted me in many ways. PROGURT has realign my intestinal track. Even though I have not had the pancreas tumours surgically removed, the diarrhea and related symptoms are well managed. I have gone from a 41kg anorexic body to a healthy, strong and flexible 53kg body now able to digest correctly and absorb nutrients. I immediately noticed a huge difference in my wellbeing upon taking Progurt, even though it probably took several months consistantly taking it before I was feeling really well again. I told the owner of Progurt he should call this Angel food as in essence it is a miraculous health food.
In August I will be 52 and happy to say that everything has settled down to a very managable place and I am back dancing again and feeling fabulous. No back flips as yet, but I am sure I could do one if I put my mind to it.
I am now able to enjoy my life, my children and grand children and enjoy the lovely compliments I often receive on how well and young I look.
The photos on my website are of me in late 2009.
I would happily recommend PROGURT & NIKKEN WELLNESS PRODUCTS to anyone seeking either preventitive health care or those who are experiencing severe health issues seeking answers towards healing.
I have become a reseller for both companies products because both companies have incredible products which work, and can assist in the transformational process of ones healing and wellness. Also because both companies have high standards of ethics and integrity.
I have experienced much in my journey with health and wellness over the past 9 years. Here I have shared with you a very small glimpse of what I have really been through. If I can assist but one person on their own personal wellness journey to save them the pain that I have known, then I will be so happy.
If you wish to speak with me personally regarding my journey or anything I have written here, please feel free to contact me.
Yours in Love, Life and Laughter

Nia is a therapeutic and form of movement which enables those who participate in the class to become consciously aware of their mind body spirit connection and to tap into it’s intrinsic wisdom to integrate self healing on many levels. It assists in realigning your chakra system and clears negativity from your subtle energy bodies.
The rhythmical and repetitive nature of the easy movements allows you to feel at ease with the move so you can then really feel what is going on within your body.
You are invited to work at your own level and pace, thus allowing your body to speak to you as to what is best for you and your body at that particular moment in time.
You are given basic movements and invited to do what ever you feel inclined to with your arm movements. By giving your body permission to move in the way it wants to it can freely heal physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
Nia is a fun, non judgemental movement class done to unique and interesting music which has been commissioned especially for Nia classes.
I also incorporate some core strength exercises and a relaxation/meditation section at the end.
Many people comment on how relaxed, free and flexible their bodies feel after completing my Nia class.
So join us……… experience the joy of movement and see how you feel.

NEW BEGINNER CLASS COMMENCING SOON!
Massage is The Caring Touch of The Heart Expressed Through the Hands…..
I’ve been involved with massage for many years and received my Diplomas and Certificate qualifications through the Brandon Raynor School of Natural Therapies.
My massage style is intuitive, and is greatly enhanced by the power of crystals, colour, universal energy and magnetics. All of which restore harmony within the body’s natural energy systems.
During my healing massage session, I incorporate all of the above healing modalities.
I also use a special Japanese chiropractic mattress on my table which incorporates high quality magnetics and far infra red technologies. This re aligns the bodies electrical and nervous system whilst you relax and receive the healing massage treatment.
In essense, this is no ordinary massage….
Energetic Medicine
Have you ever felt out of sorts but couldn’t work out why? More than likely an energetic medicine treatment would assist your well being. The therapies in energetic medicine allow you to reconnect with your body’s own innate wisdom and energy systems, harmonising and re balancing them.
Energetic medicine is awesome because many of the therapies are completely non-invasive and only do as much as you are comfortable with at any given time. By freeing stagnant energy, whether contained in the muscles, or in the subtle unseen energy bodies, you are freeing yourself of emotions and energy which may no longer serve you, enhancing your health in general, and inviting fresh, new positive energy into your life.
Your environment can also affect your energy so ensure that you are living in the most positive environment possible.
Spiritual Treatments
Spiritual Healing has the potential to access disturbances on all levels of our being – emotional, mental, spiritual and physical. Bringing the chakras (Sanskrit word for wheel) into balance immediately lightens your whole system. Negative or blocked energies are released and this brings clarity on a mental level, rejuvenation physically and a deep sense of well-being.
By undertaking a spiritual therapy not only can emotional or mental blocks be cleared, but the physical aspect of the body can also be improved. Spiritual therapies are non invasive and do not use any form of medication, making them suitable to use along side of other natural therapies, as well as in conjunction with traditional medicine.
For example: if we have an emotional attachment to a situation or past event, we tend to repeatedly attract to ourselves the same situation and repeat the same behavioural patterns over and over again. This attachment, and the associated feeling, will be felt in all of your cells when you come into contact with something or someone that reminds you of the past situation. Often this is a negative situation which creates feelings of anger, resentment, unworthiness etc. Each time we feel a negative emotion our brain sends out the matching chemicals to every cell in our physical body. If we repeat this enough times, our neural pathways become programmed and eventually our body will pay the price of the emotional dis-ease….. This will re occur until we decide to make positive changes in our thinking and behaviours. Sometimes we have lived in the same patterns for so long that we are afraid to make the shift for fear of losing something. (even if the behaviour we would lose is destructive, negative and detrimental to our well being on many levels and crushes our joy for life.)
Energetic healing assists in releasing the built up blockages which occur in the chakras and subtle bodies. After a treatment you will feel lighter and often taller … “like a huge weight has been lifted from you…”
Colour Therapy
Colour therapy uses the seven colours of the spectrum in order to stimulate the body’s healing process while also balancing and enhancing the body’s energy centres, known as chakras. Each one of the seven colours coexists with one of the main chakras. If one of the chakras is unbalanced, using the appropriate colour on the body can help to re balance the chakra. This therapy can be used to treat both physical and emotional issues. The colour may come in the form of coloured light channelled into your chakras, massage using colour saturated oils, visualising colours, wearing coloured clothing.
Crystal Therapy
Crystal therapy uses semiprecious and precious stones to enhance mental, spiritual and physical healing. It is based on the belief that certain crystals and gems possess and radiate powerful energy that can positively affect imbalances in human energy fields and thus promote health and well-being.
During a Crystal Therapy session the patient may lie on a comfortable bed or on a table. Stones of specific colour, pattern, or type can be placed around the body or on specific energy points. Stones may stay on sites of pain for some time. When a crystal or stone is held or topically applied, a person is accepting the vibrations that the gem has to offer, either intentionally or unconsciously. The interaction between the vibrations of the crystals and the vibrations of the person’s body will trigger a series of responses including creating a spontaneous higher vibrational energy flow.
Crystal Therapy is a channel for pure positive energy and the client is responsible for accepting the healing. It can be deeply relaxing and can initiate the release of physical and emotional blockages.
Magnetic Field Therapy
Magnetic Field Therapy uses magnetic devices that are placed on or near the body in order to relieve pain and facilitate healing. The magnetic fields generated by the magnets are able to penetrate the body having a positive affect on the functioning of cells, and improve the working of the nervous system and various organs. How magnetics work exactly is still unknown. But they do. This is a therapy that is usually used to relieve pain.
I am a distributor of wellness products which support peoples health both in a preventative manner and also for those who are experiencing ill health. One of these products is a sleep system which is endorsed by the chiropractic association of London and Geneva. Incased in the system are high quality magnets along with far infrared technology. I have seen profoundly positive results for people suffering from brain imbalances (namely depression, drug induced psychosis and schizophrenia) when they have used one of these magnetic sleep systems. It assists in re aligning the electricals of the nervous system in the body, thus helping to support brain function.
Massage for Younger People
Recently I have had the privilege of giving massage and healing to young people aged 11 and 13 years old. I loved the sessions and was amazed that even young ones carry tension in the same places adults do. When their tension is released, they feel as good as the adults do. I truly felt blessed to work with these incredible people. Even my 3 year old grand daughter will often ask me for massage and crystal/colour healing.
I have always held a deep passion for dance and teaching dance in my heart from a very early age and never imagined I could feel as passionate about anything else. However since I completed my training with Brandon Raynor in Tasmania and then Brett Pascoe in Melbourne, I realise that I am as equally passionate about massage and working with healing energies as I am dance. I am so blessed.

Testimonials of some clients.
Steve Alison’s approach to wellness is all encompassing from her knowledge of dietary matters, to her spiritual guidance and her physical healing processes. It represents much more than the normal massage techniques I have experienced in the past. I am without reservation recommending Alison for all age groups, confident that you will benefit in both mind and body from her dedication and expertise.
Col “Call, book in for a wonderful spiritual healing experience, you deserve it.”
Rencha Alison is a very capable woman. Alison has a wonderful rapport with people of all ages and is trustworthy and dedicated to excellence in whatever she does. Recently a family member passed away in South Africa. This was a time of deep grieving. I felt severely drained on every level after flying to and from Johannesburg and dealing with all that goes with a family member’s death and funeral. Whilst in transit in Perth, I received a massage from Alison which completely re balanced me. My body, emotions and spirit were revitalised and I felt I received strength and clarity to be able to refocus and continue to move forward and face life. Her gentle touch and caring manner were incredibly therapeutic. I boarded the next plane feeling great.
Cynthia As a beauty therapist I make people feel good and also I don’t forget about myself. I treat myself probably once a month, most of the time I get a massage. I’ve been to physio, massage therapists, I like the Chinese massage too. None of them made me feel like Alison did. She gives the most beautiful massage, it’s an experience. And after it, I feel totally relaxed but recharged in my body and mind. From now I will only to to see Alison because once I find the best I stick with it.
Carol I am highly recommending Alison Marshall for her therapeutic massage services. I was feeling unwell, emotional and tired due to illness in the family which had extended over a period of more than 12 months. At the conclusion of a one and a half hour session, I not only found the massage to be extremely beneficial physically, but my body was taken beyond the physical into what I believe to be a spiritual place. I was totally relaxed at the conclusion of the massage, my body could have floated away, I no longer carried any burdens and at that point I had what I believe to be a miraculous experience. Everything was so still and yet I felt my pulse pounding, one strong pound after the other, travelling throughout my body, I was in awe of what was taking place, and remained motionless being totally consumed in the experience firmly believing that the spiritual was within. No other massage therapists have taken me beyond the physical to the miraculous place that Alison had guided me to. I firmly believe Alison has a wonderful gift and amazing healing ability through her spiritual and caring nature, to be of great benefit to those individuals seeking therapeutic massage at both the physical and spiritual level.
Lorraine I wish to recommend Alison to persons seeking her services as a masseuse. She has been given a ‘gift’ in her hands to be able to sense the need of the body and then work to relieve tensions and pressures in it, thereby bringing it back into balance and harmony. This is written form my own experience of her caring for other’s needs. The whole experience is soothing with gentle relaxation music in the background and fragrant aroma therapy in the air. Thank you Alison Yours in gratitude.
