An interview in Eden Magazine with Dr. Veronica by Dina Morrone – Part 2

I initially learned about frequency medicine in 2016 from a Dutch scientist who was engaged in helping the Brazilian government tackle the Zika virus outbreak before their Olympics in 2016. Surprising as it sounds, this is not a new phenomenon as we use frequency all the time in medicine, whether it be an ultrasound to heal or break up a bruise or radiotherapy to tackle a tumor. Each frequency is an energy wave that has a unique value. Then, each emotion and every signal from the brain to the body would have a particular value or frequency wave of its own. With this understanding, we are beginning to look at treating people using frequency as a signal to promote healing.

A turning point for me was when a family member became quite unwell with emotional difficulties and anxiety; they were not responding to conventional treatment, and I decided to take them to The Netherlands to explore frequency medicine as an option to help their brain heal. It was an honor to visit this incredible clinic who were working with cutting-edge, non-invasive treatments. After being given a tailored prescription of frequency, which he had to be listened to on a daily basis, this family member returned to full health in six weeks. I then decide to spend some time studying this approach to medicine and how to use frequency to help my own patients with their emotions and their brain health. I now use frequency medicine as one of my important tools for emotional health and well-being, in particular for depression and for people with all sorts of anxiety issues.

In Westbourne Medical Studios, we have invested in some progressive technology that allows us to take a scan of the speaking voice, which has many unique frequencies therein. When we speak as our authentic selves (i.e., un - less we are performing to an audience), the frequencies in our voice at that time can offer an insightful scientific window into our emotions and how our brain is firing and wiring. You can link this insight through the frequencies to the brain and brainwaves and then build a bespoke frequency prescription for the patient. I love doing it. I say to them, "Look, this is cutting-edge technology. And I am keen to try to help you. Do you want to have a try?” It is so important not to promise anything you are unable to deliver. Patients understand that this technology is so new and exciting and are keen to have a go. It is often used for patients who don't want to take medication for some mental health disorders, and I get some pretty good results.

Energy is all there is. It just changes from one state to another. As I said above, frequency has been used in healing for years. That’s what Ultra - sound is. The physiotherapist will ultrasound a bruise or a deep wound, sending frequency into the wound to heal it. Radiotherapy is also a form of frequency for cancer patients. Every - thing is frequency. Everything is energy. It's not difficult to imagine then that frequency can heal.

I now run a monthly charity - sound medicine evenings - where people come and relax in our yoga space and are immersed in sound frequencies.

You hold a position of responsibility when you use the bowls. You can't just sit in front of someone and bang on bowls. You must take your time, be aware of who's in the room, and read the room, constantly adjusting things to reach optimal sound. Whether us - ing a bowl, the human voice, or another instrument, each frequency has an effect on the person's emotions, and all those emotions are very much linked to our body and physical health.

I always dreamed of opening a medical center that was truly holistic and embraced all forms of healing and health. A career in medicine affords you many privileges, and I had the privilege of traveling all around the globe for work. I've learned that medicine can be so different, depending on where you are, and it's not just a case of following the flow diagram and reading the rules. Evidenced-based medicine is, of course, of paramount importance. Still, the body has the capacity to heal itself in many different ways, and an individual approach to health is what we aim for at The Studios. 

I am an experienced family physician with over three decades of training and have dealt with most medical situations from birth to the final days of life. I always wanted to have a clinic that offered a truly integrative approach for every patient encompassing as many forms of healing as possible. Throughout my career and my scientific background, I would struggle to find an explanation as to why one patient who had a tiny little speck of cancer would not survive more than a week or two while another who was riddled with cancer would still be alive after many years. How could this be? How can two people have the same diagnosis, the same prognosis, and have a very different outcome? What are the factors? What influences this? How could this be rationalized? 

Until recently, I spent all my working life in the National Health Service, and I still do whenever I can, as it never felt right to walk away completely. Unfortunately, the constraints and never-ending demands of this system do not enable you to have the time to offer a truly therapeutic consultation. One of the most important things you can give people is your time and energy to allow them to feel heard and open a space to allow people to heal. This is why all new patients at Westbourne Studios have an hour-long appointment whenever possible. 

As far as putting the team together, I picked my team as I went along. Some were people I had worked with in the past. For example, I worked in a prison in Bermuda. I was the last doctor in their old prison and the first doctor in the new prison. I worked in an old Victorian prison in Glasgow called Barlinnie. I was good friends with one of the nurses and told her that one day, I would open my dream clinic and would ask her to work alongside me She smiled and agreed… time moved on, Life moved on. I had my own challenges in life to face, like any - one else. Through no fault of my own, I found myself in a difficult financial position, bringing up my children as a single working mum. Then, after the sudden passing of my mother, I came to realize that life was not waiting for me. I had to go out and do something about it. It was now or never...I gathered the funds, and then, by some miracle, the perfect building appeared, and Westbourne Medical Studios was born. I then called the nurse with whom I had worked at the Glasgow Prison and asked her if she remembered her promise. She subsequently left her job and came to work alongside me at Westbourne and has been there ever since ...one of the admin team is a former receptionist from my trainee days, and her sister joined us as housekeeper (believe it or not, having previously worked for the Royal Family in London)! I then gathered many wonderful healers and therapists and began putting the Westbourne family together. 

A major inspirational character for me was a lady named Anne Shearer. She founded the Phoenix Centre in Glasgow, a center way ahead of its time that offered yoga, stress management, and meditation long before it became fashionable. I used to visit her regularly to study the art and science of correct breathing. I had no idea that we eliminate around 70% of our body’s toxins through breathing. Breathing correctly involves breathing both in and out through our noses as we did when we were babies. She also taught me so much more about following my dreams, creating my own space, and how to move your vision forward and make it a reality. 

She was a real inspiration for me. Although Anne is sadly no longer with us, her right-hand lady, Heather, an artist and psychotherapist, comes to work at Westbourne, offering breath work to all our patients. Proceeds from the appointments go to a breathwork charity they founded together called Trust Your Breath.

Bringing the team together was like calling the elders of the tribe. I said, "Let's make Westbourne a beacon of light. Let's make this a place where people can come and heal." It was never just about being a private physician. Business, in that sense, was never my passion. For me, it has been about having the space and the means to run a truly integrative and holistic medical center which also benefits the community at large. We have drop-in meditations at lunchtime on Wednesdays and a community music group that plays once a month. We run yoga classes and charity sound bowl evenings; we even have a monthly cinema evening where we show inspirational movies on our cinema wall. 

We have so much going on. I want it to be a place where people come and understand that healing is possible. It's not all about coming to visit the doctor simply for medication…I see it more as a place where we support patients to be the very best version of themselves and walk with them hand in hand to provide them with the tools to thrive in a state of optimal wellness.
