SUMMARY:Annual Seminar November 7th
DESCRIPTION:It’s coming up to one of our favourite times of year! Join us this November for the Natural Health Society’s Annual Seminar — a day to learn\, share good food and connect with our natural health community. \nAll are welcome. The day will feature two thought-provoking talks\, a vibrant wholefood vegan lunch prepared by Natural Health Society volunteers\, and plenty of time to catch up with old friends and meet new ones. \nThis year\, we will be exploring the theme of ageing well. \nMarketing companies have done their best to position ageing as a problem to be fixed. ‘Anti-ageing’ products are everywhere. After more than 65 years promoting natural health\, the Natural Health Society takes a different view. \nAgeing is not a disease state that needs to be stamped out. It is a natural process that we are all experiencing\, all the time. The more useful question is: what helps us continue to live well as we age? \nThis year’s seminar will feature talks from two experienced clinicians\, educators and passionate health advocates: Dr Greg Fitzgerald (Allied Health) and Ally Blythe. Alongside their clinical work\, both are deeply involved in education\, training fellow clinicians as well as sharing practical health knowledge with the wider public. Their work reflects a shared commitment to helping both practitioners and individuals better understand the factors that shape long-term health and wellbeing. \nAt this year’s seminar\, they will bring that combination of clinical experience\, professional education and public health advocacy to their perspective on ageing well. \nDr Greg Fitzgerald (Allied Health)\nAgeing Well: What Really Makes the Difference \nDr Greg Fitzgerald (Allied Health) has worked in natural and allied health for more than four decades. He founded the Health for Life Centre in 1983 and has spent his career helping people understand the lifestyle factors that influence health\, vitality and function over time. Greg is an inspiring advocate and educator\, a valued presenter nationally and internationally\, and a regular presenter at the esteemed American National Health Association’s national conferences. Greg’s experience shows in his wonderful presentations; he has clearly spent a lot of time distilling health concepts into memorable pieces of wisdom that will stay with you and guide you on your health journey. \nIn this presentation\, Dr Greg Fitzgerald (Allied Health) will explore the key factors that can help us maintain health as we age. Drawing on decades of clinical experience\, he will look at the foundations of healthy ageing\, including nutrition\, movement\, rest and sleep\, stress management and the everyday habits that create the conditions for the body to function and recover well. \nRather than accepting declining health as an inevitable consequence of growing older\, this talk will encourage us to consider the factors that will help us all age more slowly\, and think about the practical things we can do to support health throughout life. \nHealth For Life – Health through healthy living \nAlly Blythe\nThe Body Remembers: How Trauma and Stress Shape Health and Ageing \nAlly Blythe is a herbalist\, nutritionist and educator with more than 25 years of clinical experience. Her training spans traditional herbal medicine\, naturopathy and nutrition. As an educator\, Ally runs a home healer course where she works to empower people with the lost art of self-care and home healing. At her clinic\, Ally’s holistic approach involves identifying the deeper patterns that influence our health and wellbeing. \nIn her presentation\, Ally will explore how trauma\, chronic stress and our life experiences shape our health over time. Stress does not exist only in the mind: it is a full-body experience that can influence our sleep\, digestion\, heart health\, hormones\, nervous system\, resilience and the way the body responds to the challenges of ageing. \nDrawing on her clinical experience and herbal and nutritional knowledge\, Ally will look at how understanding these patterns can help us better support long-term wellbeing. Ally’s presentations are always full of warmth and humanity and provide practical advice that you can implement in your life straight away. \nABOUT | Combine traditional medicine & modern science – Ally’s Apothecary \nHome Healer – Ally’s Apothecary \nFood lovers rejoice!\nThis year\, the Natural Health Society will also be self-catering the seminar\, and your ticket includes a healthy\, colourful wholefood vegan lunch. \nAnyone who has attended one of our retreats\, lunches or gatherings will know the sort of food that appears when our volunteers get into the kitchen — abundant salads\, fresh vegetables\, wholefoods\, colour and flavour. \nHealthy food is about much more than nutrients on a page. There is joy in growing it\, preparing it\, sharing it and sitting down together to eat. \nSo come hungry\, come curious and enjoy a day devoted to healthy learning\, healthy food and healthy community. \nRegister here: NHSA Seminar 2026 | Natural Health Society \nEvent details\nDate: 7 November\nTime: 10.30am to 3.30pm\nVenue: Kingswood Community Centre\, 19 Bringelly Road\, Kingswood — a short walk from Kingswood train station. \nTicket conditions\nWhile we try to avoid it\, occasionally circumstances outside our control may require changes to the seminar line-up.
