Dear Heather,

I have waited a little while before emailing you, because I wanted to ensure I gave the adjustment time to 'settle in' before sending any feedback.

My neck area was sore and tender for a few days after the alignment. It wasn't so bad the next day, but the day after that, the discomfort really set in in a rather intense way. To be honest, it felt like a combination of previous neck injuries along with the symptoms of a funny recurrent virus I've had over the last couple of years that causes nausea and head/neck pain.  I felt the discomfort was basically my body getting rid of this accumulated 'stuff'. I don't normally take headache tablets but I did take one when it became a bit much. I slept fine that night and have been great ever since. No pain, no discomfort, no tenderness.

I have always played a lot of sport, so I've considered myself pretty agile with good balance and good leg strength. The really interesting thing now is that my balance and leg strength are noticeably better. This has been quite strange because as I said, compared to most people I've always had good agility and balance. I'm finding my body moves much more 'easily' and in a naturally balanced way. This is great!  (Do you remember how my left leg kept getting an 'electric shock' when you did that preliminary thing with the glass tubes?  Makes me wonder if that reaction from my body was indicating an issue with my legs which has now been resolved, hence I feel stronger and better balanced.)

I have been more relaxed lately too. Not sure if that's just because I've been on holidays (-: but I do feel calmer about things that would normally stress me. (I think my partner is picking up on this because he has been a lot more relaxed too!)

Anyway, I will continue to observe any changes and let you know.

Kind regards,
Annette (Darlinghurst. NSW)

I took my 14 year old son to have his Atlas adjusted, as he has had feet problems and sore legs and suffers from headaches. He did wear orthotics in his shoes and I was going to go and have new ones made but waited to see wait he was like after the Atlas treatment.

The Atlas treatment works, it is fantastic. He no longer complains of pain in his legs or feet and was not required to get orthotics for his shoes. My son also had a lot more movement in his neck as well.

The difference it has made to him has been substantial and he and I as a parent can really notice the benefits and change.

I cannot recommend this enough for someone considering this. It really makes sense, and the practitioner Heather Totten is professional, knowledgeable and explains all in a calm environment.

Heather, as you well know 13 months ago, you assessed the condition of my Atlas and found that it was out of place. At the time you adjusted me I was 60 years old and in pretty good condition. I have never been obese but as most men my age could stand to lose a few pounds. I have had a couple reoccurring physical injuries that were caused during high school sports and both are injuries that have impacted my back or spine. After agreeing to your prescribed adjustment of my atlas I have noticed several things. I will try and explain to the best of my ability below my observations.

During my assessment you noted that my right leg was a little shorter than my left. This has been the case for as long as I can remember and a condition that has caused severe pain in the past in my lower back region. The last time I had a problem with my lower back was in 1994 and it was so bad that I was rendered immobile for several days before I could even get out of bed. I then went through several months of Physical Therapy consisting of hot and cold packs, electrical shock stimulation to the muscles and manual massage. Eventually I gained my mobility and strength in my lower back and it was during this time and suggested by a chiropractor that I wear a lift in my right shoe. The chiropractor told me that once I started wearing this lift that I would not be able to stop without consequences of further lower back pain. X-rays and examinations had shown that I had a bulging disc that was irritating the nerve and this is what was causing the pain. Anyway, I knew I did not want to go through any of that again so I took the advice and wore the lift from that point forward. To this day I have not had pain in my lower back or down the back of my left leg like I had in the mid 1990’s.

I wore that lift in my shoe up until the time you adjusted my Atlas and have not worn it ever since. I now can go barefooted without problems or the little twinges of pain that I would get prior to the Atlas adjustment. I am just as aware as ever with improper lifting, sitting and twisting that has caused this condition to flare up but the adjustment has leveled me out and I feel made my back as strong as it ever has been.

As you know I was very skeptical and questioned you extensively about this condition and could not believe that the majority of people have this condition. I can now say that after a full year of no pain and no lift in my right shoe that "I am a believer".
Thank you for your patience and understanding, educating me, and making my life (lower back) pain free.

Regards,

Bill (Clifton Beach. QLD)

Since age 18, I suffered from migraine headaches. At the time, I was not sure why they suddenly occur red.  I had a few falls in my childhood. One at about age 13 when I fell off my bicycle, hitting my head on the bitumen & somehow making my way home (which I have no memory of). I slept until morning, when my mother took me to hospital for X-rays, thinking I must have had concussion. She was simply told that I was OK. At about 18 -19 yrs. I also had a fall onto my tail-bone while roller-skating. I remember hardly being able to walk, having pins & needles in my legs, and from then on until my 30's often had lower back pain which a doctor (around 26 yrs. of age),diagnosed as lumbar inflammation and gave me anti-inflammatories.

About 7 years ago, while playing hockey, another player bumped into my shoulder quite hard twice during the game. After that game, I had severe shoulder pain for a couple of weeks, which eventually subsided, however my shoulder never quite felt the same again. Around 2009, the pain was so severe, I suspected I must have had a rotator cuff injury as I could not rotate my arm up & outward. My doctor sent me for X-rays & CT scans which showed an 8mm calcification on my supaspinatus tendon. I persevered with the pain for a few years until about May 2013, when it got that bad that I could hardly lift my arm above my head to do my hair. I visited a Natural Therapist who gave me some natural anti-inflammatory & for 4 weeks I had micro current therapy on my shoulder. During the last 2 weeks of that treatment, I started to get severe headaches in the occipital region of my head and also pain down my neck & into my shoulders. I hate taking medications, but found that the pain was so severe, that I was taking Panadol daily & then Nurofen every second day.

I had noticed Heather's ad in the Connect Magazine & after reading through all the conditions it could help with, I felt so desperate that I rang her & asked her if I drove to Cairns would she see me. I also had a friend who suffered from neck pain & said she would drive up with me.
My micro current treatment had finished about a week before & I had noticed only a small difference at that stage. Whilst driving, I remember still feeling a great deal of pain whilst holding my arm up on the steering wheel. I had the treatment with Heather on the Monday, immediately feeling a sense of freedom as I turned my head either side & the headaches were going away. There was no familiar restriction upon looking backwards when reversing my car etc. By that weekend, I could hardly believe, that the pain in my arm was close to 95% better. I could hardly believe that I could hang washing on the line without pain!!

My feeling is that the micro-current, anti-inflammatory & Atlas Realignment all worked together. I believe that once I had the realignment, it removed the block and energy could once again flow to allow my body to heal itself. I would definitely recommend giving it a go.

Saturday, 9-4-11. Heather venturing home after my 1st. treatment i felt great just an achy feeling inside of both knee's, later in the day felt very tired and a bit strange around my neck area like a feeling of moving around in my neck but no big deal about it, I was fine, doing neck exercises.
The next day felt really tired in the morning and later felt really good in the afternoon.
Mon. 11-4-11. No problem but by bed time knees to the feet ached.
Next day felt slight pain left lower back, eye's felt bright today.
Wed.13-4-11. A good day, late evening bit of a twinge lower back.
Next day, felt good and feeling things moving around, feeling allot brighter, eyes feel great.
From there it was pretty much the same with some days feeling really good, but not so tired as before, still getting the occasional achy feeling inside the knee's but it just lasts for a short while.  My eyes and Hector's are definitely improved, we had an eye appointment on the 16th. June and even Dr. Zadeh commented on the improvement with our eye's, made our day to hear that, just amazing.

I must say I am feeling heaps better as time goes by.

Mon, 27th. June, 11. I really don't notice if there is any shifting going on yet, there probably is and i do not notice it, it really is the best thing that i have done i feel, Hector also is very happy with his results, 2 extremely happy customers!

Thanks Heather.

Very Best Regards.

At 66 and after many years of physical work (ex-geriatrics nurse and ex -vet nurse) my body's movement was declining rapidly with stiff hips, bad knees which combined caused a limp and hunching in my walk as well I felt like I 1t1as leaning.  My son-in-law who had also suffered from a bad back for many fears had recently been to see Heather after a bad fall that left him with severe back pain and walking like a man twice his age (he's 44).  I could not believe when I saw him how Heather's treatment had rendered him not only Jack walking normally again, but in his words "feeling better than I did when I was 20".

At my daughters insistence and after she booked my appointment, I had my initial treatment with Heather. Considering my age I was dubious what she could do for me, but thought I should give it a try anyway. All I can say is after hobbling in to Heather's clinic and being barely able to get myself onto the treatment bed, two hours of treatment left me sitting up on my own and walking for the first time unaided down stairs which had been impossible for 11e for a long time.

It's been a month now since my treatment with Heather and not only have I gained a few centimeters in height, but love to go walking each week with my sister, something that previously was out of the question due to the pain that walking caused me.  I have also noticed that it is so much easier getting out of bed in the mornings.

All I can say is whatever Heather does, it works and I and my son-in-law are walking, talking, living examples of this that Atlasprofilax really works.

In Dec 2011, an 'ARTHOSCOPY' was performed on my left knee to correct the pain I was experiencing at the time. From December 2012 until the middle of April 2012 I tried   'SYNVSC' injections and a range of painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs with little or almost no relief.

Since the middle of April 2012, and the following two weeks, there has been a marked improvement and there is no doubt it is due to the treatment and approach by the Atlasprofilax method. This approach to natural healing is in the very competent and capable hands of Heather Totton.

After being in extreme pain for almost three months post-operative, I cannot speak highly enough of the results Heather has achieved in my case with every consultation showing improvement. I have also noticed I'm now able to mow the grass without the pain, discomfort and difficulty I was previously experiencing and it no longer takes 2-3 days to recover. I will continue to use Heathers services, and support her professional approach and healing methods to others.

Thank you Heather,

Welcome to Atlas in Balance: we aim for wellness and achieve results.

Hi Heather,

Firstly, I’d like to say it was very nice to meet you on Friday. I can’t believe how much better my neck feels and my eyesight has improved, I don't feel like it’s an effort to move my head any more. I am wrapped! I have already given your number to several people, whom I'm sure your help will be very beneficial.

Cheers and have a great day :)

A few months ago, my friend and I traveled to Cairns to have an atlas/axis treatment with Heather. We saw her advertisement in the Connect magazine and as we both had pain in neck, back and shoulders, we decided to try this treatment. I have had falls from ice skating and roller skating - hitting my coccyx with force.

I experienced physical relief, and this is ongoing. I also started experiencing more insight into my spirituality.

My son suffered horrific head injuries 7 years ago and Heather worked with him. He was attacked by drunken individuals and this has left him with brain and emotional damage, affecting himself, partner and his two young children. Since the treatment, he said he feels much calmer and is moving on with his life. His family appreciate the difference in him.

By "chance", I was reading a book "New Chakra Healing The Revolutionary 32 Centre Energy System" by Cindi Dale and she mentions the atlas/axis.

The cervical vertebrae complete at the axis or the second cervical vertebra, which joins with the atlas or first cervical vertebra. These two vertebrae are extremely important, because they top off the spine, cradling our head.

The axis forms a pivot upon which the atlas holds the head. This pivot allows the head to swivel. Along the back side of the body, the axis rises in a tooth-like form. The rest of the body looks almost like a bed that stretches out from a headboard. The axis and atlas also complete the spinal chakric system, and open us to life's higher principles.  The atlas links with our thirty-second energy point, the Grace and Divine Source-consciousness center. The Grace Centre is in direct opposition to the coccygeal bone connecting to the third coccygeal vertebrae, which contain our feelings and creativity. Channeling Divine Source-consciousness energy, this connection with grace must align with our feelings and creativity, as well as the concerns addressed by our first chakric area. Shaped like a cradle, our atlas represents the "cradle of our higher being", the cradle itself being made of grace.

The axis supports the globe of the head. It has neither a physical nor a spinal process. It is ring-like in shape with a front and back arch. Metaphysically, the axis pertains to the Principle of the thirty-third, which is a protective energy that must be used to safely work with any of the higher energy points. This principle is that of love. Not just love, the feeling we feel when infatuated, but the energy of Love, the feeling the Divine Source has for itself and for us.

Love depends upon grace to support the higher centers. It is also the doorway through which we journey to get to the higher planes of our selves. It lies directly opposite the fourth coccygeal vertebrae which relates to the first chakra, the force of primal life energy. When we draw our life energy up according to the principles of Love, our entire energy system automatically aligns.
The axis also serves as the spinal connection to golden kundalini, the spiritual energy feeding our purpose.

I highly recommend having the atlas/axis treatment ...... we all need to connect to Divine Love....!

I am 43 years old who drinks, swears, smokes and enjoys sports and having a good time way too much, in other words I am your typical Aussie male. Recently,I was once again enjoying myself a little bit too much and managed to fall of a roof doing some major damage to myself including smashing my wrist, fracturing my pelvic bone and a vertebrate. Prior to this I had suffered back pain which was restricting me in my occupation, however I had learned to deal with the pain and restriction  in movement, but after this accident I could no longer ignore it, I needed relief, so I could resume some form of normal life and movement.

Now this is where Heather came into the picture. Being your typical heterosexual Aussie male I was reluctant to speak to, let alone go and see somebody who practices in (Natural Medicine) but my wife managed to convince me to go and have a consultation with Heather (in a moment of weakness may I add). I reluctantly went for my first appointment. And as I had suspected after having my first session I limped out no better than when I had gone in (not surprising she only pinched and jabbed me). So I thought.

Before I limped, stumbled and crawled up the stairs to Heather's practice I was also black and blue with bruising from the accident. Three days later the bruising was gone to my surprise, and I was at least able to walk like a semi normal person. But me being the typical sceptic, thought it had nothing to do with the treatment. I just thought that my body was just healing as it normally would. After badgering from my wife I attended the second appointment Heather had mentioned that the body goes through a healing process with can follow on up to 4 days after treatment, again I walked out no better off. But again three days later there we're changes. I was able to walk better than normal and the lower back pain was better than it had been in years albeit with a limp. Well let's say I had no argument in attending the third appointment, and I began to think there must be something to this Natural medicine.

On this visit not only did Heather do the normal Bowen Therapy treatment but she also informed me that she was going to adjust my atlas. I thought this was something kept on a book shelf but yet again I was wrong. This time after two hours of treatment not only could I sit up from lying flat on my back (something I had not been able to do since the accident) I came out of the room and down the stairs with no limping, no pain, no nothing. Now just as Heather told me for a few days after there could be a decline in my body function and even some discomfort or pain from old injuries that flared up as my body realigned, but now, two weeks later, I don't have back pain anymore. In fact my back feels better than it did before the accident. I am now a converted man. My sleep apnea has improved I used to wake up 3-4 times a night now I sleep through the night, I'm sleeping soundly and feel rested when I wake up. My wife says my snoring has drastically improved she would describe the noise I made previously to the adjustment like that of a freight train. She is so much happier and so am I as we both get a better night sleep. The dark circles under my eyes and puffiness that I have had for years has just about disappeared. I really feel great! When my wife recommends I try some alternate healing (or mumbo jumbo as I like to call it) I will definitely do as I am told. Thanks Heather, I now have my life back again.

I have, for many years, suffered with a "sore" lower back and "tight" neck/shoulders. I have tried countless treatments over the years, and although all helped in some way, it was always temporary relief. I would do housework or gardening and my problems would return. I read about Atlas Profilax in the "Connect" magazine and decided to give it a go.

To my great joy, I am able to do my house work without the discomfort and pain I used to previously experience, and I can pursue my hobbies spending long periods of time in our garden now which I enjoy without suffering like I used too. Previously, I would do the vacuuming, or the weeding, and would feel the repercussions of this for days after, now, I don't even know I have done it.

The great part about this treatment is that it consists of only 2 visits with Heather and you don't have to keep going back. It is not only for back and neck, but a whole body improvement.

It is non-evasive, gentle, and Heather is great to work with. I felt totally at ease with her. She really listens to you.

I highly recommend this treatment to anybody.

Thanks again for everything.

Best wishes,

​​My name is Renee I'm a 32yr old painter by trade...I've also worked in factory’s doing lots of heavy lifting... been involved in an abusive relationship...had operation’s on my stomach.....and have had falls off a horse and a shed roof, so I've had loads of issues with my neck and back, anxiety and depression.

I'd started my healing process with acupuncture.  I'd also seen a physio and osteopath.
After having an MRI scan and being told I had the neck of a 50 year old and to stop painting....(I was 25 at the time) I knew that surely this wasn’t the end of my career...
Acupuncture helped but only for a few weeks at a time...I saw an ad in a magazine about Atlas realignment and all the benefits it had....It sounded too good to be true...
It took me about 2 years to finally book an appointment, I was sick of feeling just ok sometimes.....neck /back pain, and feeling unhappy because of it.....So I went and saw Heather...

Atlas realignment has been the best thing I've ever done for myself...My body has never been better...my pain is barely noticeable....I can work painting ceilings all day, I have a hot shower at night an get up the next day completely fine....

After the treatment I experienced aches in parts of my body were I'd had issues ....It wasn't a bad pain just an dull ache and then it went away, then something else would ache then go away....this continued for about 6 months but every time something would ache and then go away I'd feel better each time...
Same thing with the emotions that went with the pain...I’ve been able to let go and set free so many bad feeling and emotions and be so much more in touch with myself since the realignment ....

I now feel strong and spiritual, happy and good about myself and my body.....Good health is the most important thing you can have.

I also took my partner to go see Heather; he has had fantastic results also. He was told he may never walk again after a bad fall.....After acupuncture and Atlas realignment, we both are running our own successful businesses.....Painter and plumber....

Just because a Doctor tells you 'NO' doesn't mean you should give up......there’s always an alternative way.....

Thanks so much Heather

This Really Works! (no wobbly boots)

My name is Helen I am 61years old. After the Atlas treatment with Heather I felt 20 years younger. Immediately I was in Balance, "no wobbly boots"! I felt Energized. My pain cut down by 50%. Four days later totally no pain in my entire body, no migraines either. I had been suffering with chronic migraines since I was 20 years old.

I also noticed that my hearing has improved by 50% since the treatment, my eyesight is clearer and I can rotate my neck which was previously stuck popped disc due to a car accident 12 years ago. In the car accident I suffered an array of injuries but was not admitted to Tully hospital the Doctor sent me home that same day. I spent four months on my lounge recovering. Smashed and broken ribs, cracked sternum, popped disc in neck etc. I also had an impinged elbow, as well as internal trauma, hematoma on head and I was knocked unconscious. I had to have a shoulder reconstruction ten months later at the Cairns Base Hospital to repair the damage sustained in the accident.

I had also been living with sciatic pain, hip pain, neck pain plus restriction, and migraine. Not Any More - all gone!

Previously I had been having chiropractic treatment every month just to keep going with limited success.

Since the treatment with Heather I can now bend over and touch my toes. This has been the best money ever Spent!

Thank you Heather
