The society we live in today is not naturally designed to support human health.
If you want to be well in your body, your mind, and your voice of resonance;
You need to actively invest in your Self.
A Different Way
Thank you for being here.
This practice has been created in response to a simple observation:
modern life is not designed to support long-term health.
Across our environments, our habits, and our relationships, there are increasing pressures that disrupt the body’s natural balance.
If you want to remain well, clear, and energised in the years ahead, health cannot be passive. It requires active participation.
This work asks something of you:
Attention, discipline, and a willingness to take responsibility for your own life.
It is not always easy, it’s necessary for self healing.
The Foundations
Your body is your primary receptor.
It is how you experience life and it requires care, attention, and understanding.
The work focuses on three interconnected areas:
Minerals
Supporting the body’s internal chemistry, energy production, and nutritional balance, particularly in relation to bone, blood, and cellular function.
Muscles
Working with posture, structure, and movement, we work with the muscle, not the bone, to restore function, release tension and improve flow.
Memories
Exploring lived experience and the imprint of emotion, stress and trauma on the body. What you have lived through and carried continues to shape your physical and emotional state.
Meet Michael
I am Dr Michael Parkes,
I’ve spent my life learning to heal through direct experience, academic education and specialised training.
My own health challenges, including chronic pain, spinal misalignment, mineral imbalances, environmental exposure and complex critical events of life stressors became the foundation of this work.
They led me to explore, in depth:
The relationship between spine, structure, and movement
The role of minerals and nutrition in energy production
The impact of psychological and somatic memory
The connection between physical health, voice, and personal alignment
Over time, this has led me to develop my own protocol for healing ‘Minerals - Muscles - Memories’.
One I now offer to clients!

Your First Session’s Conversation
-
We Explore
The critical events, symptoms or diagnoses of your life to understand your relationship to medical labels, beliefs and experience of health
-
We Relate
How those symptoms are experienced in your body to connect them with your daily life and routines for mitigating stress and dysregulation
-
We Commit
To why improving your health. Through the use of baseline mineral and blood analyses, we create everyday actions that activate your innate healer.
Why People Come
People come to work with Michael because they are generally facing health challenges and seek a different way to improve the quality of their life as they move into later years.
Most people I meet want to be useful.
They want to be fit.
They want to be healthy.
They want to be functioning well; in their mind, in their body, and in their relationship to something deeper.
Over time, many people are given medical labels.
These labels are often not examined, nor tested.
They are interpretations of symptoms that are showing up physically or mentally.
The reason to begin a conversation with Michael is to start exploring your experience of health beyond those labels.
Purpose
This is about:
Bringing you back into your own health practice
Moving beyond labels to heal
Transforming your relationship to pain
Restoring energy and resilience
So that you have a deeper understanding of the relationship between body, mind, and voice to do what you need to do in a day and to live well doing it.
Aim
To improve your energy and your experience of being alive.
This means:
Reducing chronic fatigue and stress
Increasing clarity and resilience
Supporting your capacity to live and function well
Your health shapes everything, your work, your relationships, and your contribution to the world.

How We Work Together
Understand
We explore your symptoms, history and health challenges through a process of deep inquiry into your life.
Collaborative Action
You’re the process focus. We decide the immediate actions to start, via hair mineral analysis, blood analysis, habit changes or referrals as needed.
Design
We regroup after collaborative actions have been taken to analysis the baseline data, design a daily plan to address mineral dysregulation and muscle development.
Practice your Plan
You learn to master your practice building new memories or habits as you begin supplementing minerals, change your consumption and movement patterns everyday.
Let’s Work Together
The aim is to improve your energy and experience of being alive.
To support energy production, so you are no longer constantly fatigued, stressed, or unsure if you can get through the day.
Through your health practice you can shape your life, your work, your family, and your contribution to the world.
