ELIZABETH ELRINGTON
Healthy Home, Breathwork & Postural Alignment Practitioner
Elizabeth is a certified Buteyko Clinic Instructor, Oxygen Advantage Coach & Postural Alignment Specialist. She has specialized in Radiation Protection (GEOVITAL Academy) and holds a Master of Science from Manchester University, UK.
Through combining her scientific knowledge with her genuine passion for health Elizabeth has honed her skills to provide solutions which allows each individual to reach their full potential. This is achieved through a combination of breathwork, postural therapy and tools such as Nerve Express.
With an avid interest in the functional medicine model, which addresses the underlying root cause of disease, Elizabeth works closely with esteemed Functional Medical Practioner, Khelga Coopper, to provide holistic care for all clients.
​
Nerve Express is an FDA approved medical device that allows us to study your individual heart rate variability. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) has an important clinical reference and it is an actionable approach. This means we measure to create your baseline from which you can improve and monitor your progress.
There is an important difference between the heart rate and Heart Rate Variability which has clinical significance and relevance. While heart rate focuses on the average beats per minute, heart rate variability HRV measures the specific changes in time /variability between successive heart beats.
Your Heart Rate Variability reflects how adaptable your body can be. If your heart rate is highly variable, this is usually evidence that your body can adapt to many kinds of changes. People with high heart rate variability are usually less stressed and happier in general. Healthy individuals will have scores of 60-70 (depending on biological age), and top endurance athletes can have numbers of 90-100 (or even higher). Conversely, less healthy people will have numbers in the 40-55 range, and anything below that indicates a low level of vagal activity, which may be a cause for concern.
Stress is a big contributor to ageing. If we are to describe ageing in simple terms, we shall distinguish a progressive oxidation and depletions that lead and cause dysfunctions. And disease is the lack of function.
We may often ignore or rather be unaware of certain stressors such as environmental stress (pollutants, noise, blue light, mould exposure), inadequate nutrition such as too many carbs, easily oxidized or rancid oils, frequent alcohol consumption, eating throughout the day without giving time to the digestive tract to rest and recover, hidden infections, stress on the adrenals with inappropriate exercise, incorrect breathing, sleep apnea, snoring, amongst others.
Oftentimes we are not even aware of such stressors as they may not be particularly obvious. But every stressor does count. And, how much we stress our system and how long we stay in sympathetic mode (fight and flight) vs parasympathetic mode (relax and digest) matters. Healthy autonomic nervous system represents your ability to switch between the two modes. Using Nerve Express we examine your “switch” and help you to adjust it to work optimally, and therefore to feel better and age less.
Real age is your biological age and not your chronological age. We all have inside us 78 organs, if we can optimise these organs and stress them less, the ageing will be slower because the health will be more optimal, you will feel recharged and positive inside out. Understanding each individual body functioning at cellular level is at the core of everything we do.
The studies which we conduct on each client then translated into recommendations about technics and tools available to you to continue your health optimisation journey, to become your own master.
