In cooperation with the local government of Chengdu, Dr Jamieson presented three trauma relief workshops.
Three years after the Earthquake, local people who had watched their children being crushed under collapsed schools, had had no outlet for their grief and anger, to the extent that women were suffering from unexplained infertility.
The epicentre of the earthquake was 3 hours drive from Chengdu, and the beautiful holistic Magnolia Retreat centre hosted this venture. The workshops were part of the Florasics Holo-Health World Conference 2011. A fourth workshop was presented by Dr Jamieson’s associate Claire McLetchie.
The Conference was held in the beautiful Magnolia Retreat at the Beichuan Medicine King Resort, Sichuan, China from Monday 14th March -> Friday 18th March 2011
Our sense of smell is the gift to come to us when we are born. As one of our senses, the healing potential of the power of smell is undervalued. Since ancient times, essential oils made from plants have been known to have special healing affects. These workshops are tailor made around the essence of Magnolia.
As a doctor, bridging science and ancient healing techniques, Dr. Jamieson specialises in combinations which balance, relax and heal both mind and body by using movement, scent, art and writing. Together, the body and emotions can be rebalanced to a state of ‘original innocence’ – a time when there were no traumas or worries.
