Naturopathy / Nutritional Medicine

Naturopathy uses an evidence based and holistic approach to treat the person instead of just the symptoms of disease. A Naturopathic consult uses of a number of tools and can especially help with prevention of chronic conditions and help you to optimise your health.

One of the principles of naturopathy is the 'The Healing Power of Nature" - the body has an inherent wisdom to heal itself. Sometimes this process is hindered because the body becomes overburdened with stress, toxins, hormonal imbalance or intolerance to certain foods.  

By providing your body with proper dietary and lifestyle support, as well as herbal or nutritional supplementation if needed, you will experience the benefits of improved vitality and health. Naturopathy can help with a number of health issues including:

• Stress / anxiety / depression

• Food intolerance

• Skin issues: Eczema, acne

• Digestive issues / IBS

• Improving sleep / energy

• Lowered immunity

• Chronic disease prevention

• Menopausal & hormonal symptoms

• Pre-conception care

• Mens’ health & wellbeing

What to expect during your consult

During your first consult a detailed health history will be taken, including current symptoms, medications & family health history. If you have any recent test results, you will be asked to bring them along to your consult. We discuss your health goals and together we work out a wellness strategy that fits in with you. This may include the use of nutritional or herbal medicine, dietary or lifestyle recommendations, flower essences or stress management techniques. To review results and progress, a couple of follow up appointments are recommended for longer term changes.
