SCIO Biofeedback

What a session involves
Ozone Therapy
Used in the practice to support the immune system, circulation and the body's own antioxidant enzymes.
How ozone is used

Upcoming programmesSCIO Biofeedback
Ten thousand questions, asked of the body, in three and a half minutes.
SCIO means to know. It stands for Scientific Consciousness Interface Operations. The device measures the body's electrical reactance to thousands of items, within natural body electrical parameters, and then sends back correcting pulses. The body answers with its own reactive pulse and begins to correct the imbalance itself.
- 01Scan the body and test over 10 000 items in three and a half minutes.
- 02Reveal the imbalances: where the body is reacting and why.
- 03Send gentle correcting pulses back to the body.
- 04The body creates its own reactive pulse and corrects the imbalance.

Dr Lynda
The heart of the practice
With a career spanning more than two decades, Dr Lynda combines deep expertise in alternative medicine with a genuine ability to connect with each person who sits across from her. She looks for the root of a concern rather than its symptoms, and every session is shaped around the individual.
She holds a PhD in Alternative Medicine and is a registered member of the Association of Supportive Counsellors and Holistic Practitioners (ASCHP). Her academic path runs through psychology and education, which is why counselling and coaching sit so naturally beside the biofeedback work.

What clients say
I have been a patient of Lynda's since 2016, facing a difficult diagnosis with multiple immune system diseases and liver disease. Initially, my doctors gave me a grim prognosis, suggesting that a liver transplant might be my only chance. Since starting treatment with Lynda, however, my health has improved dramatically, leaving my doctors astonished. Not only is she exceptionally professional, but she is also compassionate and truly excels in her work.
My overall health, physical as well as mentally, has improved tremendously since I have started with SCIO treatment. My diabetes, immune system as well as imbalances have changed drastically. SCIO treatment is holistic and it is so helpful to immediately receive a diagnosis with the relevant treatment. I also learn a lot about a healthy lifestyle and alternative medicine.
My family and I have been using SCIO and the services of Dr Lynda van Heerden for many, many years. Initially, I compared evaluations through a medical practitioner, homeopathic evaluations, and SCIO. Dr Van Heerden adds a lot of value to the SCIO evaluation, with her in-depth knowledge of holistic and natural medicine. She assisted us in not only physical health problems but also psychological issues. With SCIO and Dr Van Heerden's advice, we are now a family that can manage our health in a preventative manner. To our family, she is an earthly angel.
After my cancer diagnosis and subsequent operation, where they removed parts of my stomach, pancreas and large intestines, her treatment enabled me to a remarkable and speedy recovery. The SCIO device is very accurate in reading the body's reactivity and indicates the precise support for one's healing journey. My energy levels are stable and my digestion has greatly improved. I can highly recommend her.
