IRIDOLOGY

Iridology is a diagnostic science which provides a safe, non-invasive, inexpensive method of analysis that can be integrated with both orthodox and complimentary medicine.

Iridology is the study of the Iris of the eye (the coloured sector), to determine information about the bodily, genetic strengths and weaknesses, levels of inflammation and toxaemia, efficiency of the eliminative systems and organs, the causes of symptoms and disease.

Iridology helps the patient to learn about their own strengths and weaknesses and become more personally aware of how they can help themselves.

Marcia also examines the pupils, known as Pupillotonia (the black area in the middle of the eye) and the sclera known as Sclerology (the white part of the eye) for a more comprehensive analysis.

Marcia is a full member of the Guild of Naturopathic Iridologists International.

TESTIMONIALS

"Marcia's bubbly welcome and her jovial, pleasant bedside manner did not detract from or compromise her professionalism, but worked wonders towards my rehab. Her excellent treatment techniques went straight to the source of my discomfort, and the resulting relief was immerse. I am grateful that Marcia was recommended to me."
CJ Guiste, North London.

"I have been seeing Marcia Harewood for several years now, initially because of back pain which resulted from a car accident. Marcia has done wonders in markedly reducing the pain and strengthening my back. She has also helped hugely with mild knee and shoulder problems that I have experienced over the years.

Her skills extend way beyond osteopathy, however, and I have become used to Marcia telling me how I am when I arrive and correctly diagnosing any problems almost straightaway.

her report on the Iridology session she conducted for me was both fascinating and amazingly accurate.

Marcia creates a pleasant environment and visiting her is a relaxing and pleasurable experience, as well as being enormously beneficial to anyone requiring osteopathy or general health related treatment or advice.

I do not have the slightest hesitation in unreservedly recommending her."
Michael Stone, London.

"I first visited Marcia's practice in 1998 when I experienced back problems after a minor operation. I work long hours and play sport in my spare time. Thanks to Marcia's highly professional care, I can lead as active a lifestyle as I want. I have been encouraged by the effectiveness of natural remedies and have also learned to look after my joints and muscles better. I recommend Marcia to my friends. I would not trust my back with anyone else."
Stuart Cooper, London.

"I have been a patient of Marcia Harewood for over seven years
and wish to endorse and commend her professionalism, knowledge of her craft, more importantly her dedication and care bestowed upon me.

In this fast pace world that we live in, it is good to know that a visit and consultation with this practitioner is a positive step in my health care program. I have recommended her services to various people I encounter, who suffer with back pain and other maladies.

Despite her busy schedule she has also been supportive to schools across London as she has been one of our key speakers for the Rising Stars in Medicine Program as part of the Extended Medical Degree run by Kings College London. She has good skills with young people who have benefited enormously from her experience of the world as an Osteopath, Naturopath and Iridologist and her love of Science and its innovations."
Mia Morris, London.

"What can I say about my friend Marcia Harewood ? We have known one another for about ten years. I have been treated by quite a few Osteopaths in my 83 years of life. I have come to the conclusion that she beats the rest, (this includes using Herbs). I tell all my friends that Marcia knows my body better than I do.

About a year ago I was knocked down and hurt my groin rather badly, I contacted Marcia and she came to my home (I could not walk for about a month) to check if I had fractured or broken a bone. She treated me and it got better, my friends could not understand why I did not go to the Doctors or Hospital to have an Xray. I said I would probably still be waiting for an appointment for the Xray. Marcia, with her wonderful hands made it better in a couple of weeks.

Thank you Marcia. She is God sent to help people of all ages and sexes. Once again Thank you Marcia."
Miss F Fehr, London.
