I have remedial massage with Sophie for arthritis in the spine. Doing this monthly greatly helps with the pain. She does a full body massage so it is also relaxing

Sophie is amazing really knows her craft, I have been to many Natrapath’s over my 55yrs and Sophie is by far the best, her knowledge & personal support of my very complex body has been extremely valuable, not to mention her assistance with recent Menopause symptoms has made my days easier than before I attended Equilibrium Natural Health. I would definitely recommend seeing Sophie.

Sophie is amazing. After being diagnosed with a number of conditions I was unsure of where to turn. Then I found Sophie. Her advice, care and wealth of information is exceptional. With Sophie's guidance and knowledge I have been able to heal my body through nutrition and exercise. I would recommend Sophie in an instant.

When it came to looking for a naturopath in a new area, Sophie Shields-Brown came highly recommended by an already established Wellness Centre. From the very first appointment I have found Sophie to be genuinely interested in providing holistic guidance, gently support and very effective communication. Highly recommended.

Spending time with Sophie is wonderful in so many ways. The Rewind Technique has been one of the best things I have done for myself. It was gentle, didn’t require me to relive past experiences but allowed me a safe way to move on. Highly recommend Sophie for so many reasons.

I've been having regular massages with Sophie from Equilibrium. I alternate between lymphatic drainage, trigger point release and deep tissue. At each visit, I'm excited to receive a different treatment resulting in a unique experience and take home effect. Regardless of my choice, I always float out feeling 2 feet taller and 2 kg lighter! A wonderful provider to our local community.

I have been seeing Sophie for over eight years now, both for myself and my family, and her care has provided steady support through many different seasons of life. From naturopathic care to pregnancy massage, and more recently, counseling during one of the hardest times in my life after losing my mum to cancer and navigating family challenges, Sophie has always been there. She creates a safe and compassionate environment, bringing immense wisdom, knowledge, and heart to her work. I am deeply grateful for her ongoing support and guidance, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking holistic, genuine care.

You won't need to work out which service to book.

That's my job.
