Pain Relief Lady has in consultation with her clients switched the business name back to The Source of Wellness.
The Source of Wellness began in the year 2000 and was a large centre of many practitioners. After downsizing the business name was changed to Pain Relief Lady to reflect the owner’s focus on relieving pain caused by both mental and physical health issues.
In 2023, after more than a few people commented on the name, and in consultation with her clients it was voted that the business name revert back to The Source of Wellness. And so it was done. We hope you respond to the full circle as just a part of being in business for more than 23 years and counting!

Client’s Best Interests and Health Are Key

We respect your privacy, with communications held in confidence unless information is required in a medical emergency, as stipulated by law, or with your consent.
Ongoing Professional Education
We maintain professional competence and take our duty to maintain our clinical knowledge and abilities very seriously. Our aim is to stay current with the best in treatment techniques, aids, and technologies as they become available and as health information advances.
Respect For Other Health Professionals
As Health Professionals we acknowledge and respect the values and abilities of colleagues and other health professionals. When appropriate, we consult other health professionals or make appropriate referrals. We acknowledge that other health professionals may differ in the beliefs and values they apply to the care of our clients.
