naturopathy


Naturopathy is a traditional form of primary health care that places emphasis on using natural methods and medicine to prevent and correct disease, utilising the body’s innate healing capabilities to evoke cure. Treatments are individual, and focused on using naturopathic diagnostic tools and gentle natural remedies to remove the underlying cause of disharmony or disease.
 
Physical, mental and emotional aspects of your health are all taken into account in your treatment. My main treatment focus is on education, nutrition, herbal medicines & lifestyle counseling, and I apply a traditional holistic approach with up-to-date scientific knowledge.
 
Naturopathy can also play a very useful role in supporting or increasing the benefits of Orthodox medicical treatment. Naturopathy is not a magic bullet or quick fix. Although results may be felt within a few days of treatment, often the results are slower and longer lasting. Naturopathy puts your health back in your hands.


clinicalnutrition

Every day you make choices about food, and these choices have a direct impact on your short and long term health - and can contribute to the onset, prevention and management of many chronic diseases. It may be a cliché, but the saying, “you are what you eat”, rings with truth.

 
Many factors have a negative impact on our access to nutrients within our foods, such as changes in farming methods, depleted soils, processing, food storage, micro waving, eating-on-the-run, poor digestion and assimilation, caffeine/alcohol/nicotine intake, and the list continues!

 
The use of diet as a therapy serves as the foundation of naturopathic medicine. There is an ever-increasing body of knowledge that supports the use of whole foods and nutritional supplements in the maintenance of health and treatment of disease. Nutritional therapy focuses on using nutrients like vitamins, minerals and amino acids in appropriate doses.

 
An informative Dietary assessment will aid you in making more informed decisions regarding your diet and nutrient intake. I can educate and assist you in using your diet to achieve and maintain optimum health.
Good nutrition leads to a healthy body and a sound mind.

herbalmedicine

Herbal Medicines are made exclusively from plants, and have been used for centuries by many different cultures to treat and prevent almost every disease. Medicinal herbs contain ingredients that, when used correctly, support the body’s natural processes and ability to heal.

 
The therapeutic benefits of herbal medicines are well established and the combination of carefully chosen herbal extracts, dietary advice and lifestyle recommendations frequently prove effective in relieving ill health and promoting self–repair. Herbal medicine is very safe and effective when prescribed by a fully qualified Naturopath or Herbalist. The medicinal properties of herbal medicine such as teas, tinctures, capsules and tablets are increasingly being validated by rigorous scientific investigation, which helps us to understand how and why they work.

 
A profound transformation in health can be achieved by choosing to use the right herbal medicines.

“Thank you - I feel you have given me the tools to take control of my own health… I cannot possibly put into words what a difference this makes to my quality of life.” Katie M, Bronte, NSW
