Naturopathy

Naturopathy treats the body as a whole, integrated system with the least intervention possible. This is achieved through identifying and removing factors that are contributing to imbalance, and establishing a foundation for health where the body’s intrinsic self-healing capacity is stimulated through principles of healthy living and natural medicines. From there, a higher order of personal vitality can be built. 

As a Naturopath, I am passionate about merging current scientific research with the wisdom of traditional evidence, as well as my clinical experience to inform my practice.

My areas of expertise include:

IBS, SIBO, Diarrhoea, Constipation, Parasites, Bloating, Food Sensitivities, Allergies, Detoxification, Gilbert’s Syndrome

Anxiety, Low Mood, Stress, Adrenal Burnout, Exhaustion, Sleep Issues, Depletion

Holistic Nutrition

Naturopathy views food as medicine, because food is so much more than simply calories and macronutrients, it has the power to nourish and heal our bodies! Much of this innate wisdom has been lost amongst advancements in food science, medicine, technology and an ever growing “I’m too busy” mindset. However, if we want to truly heal and thrive in this life, we must reconnect to the power of natural, whole foods. Part of my approach is to understand a clients constitution, which allows me to re-educate them around what foods and nutrients help support for their unique body and life stage.

Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine is the oldest system of medicine, which utilises medicinal plants, and relies on both traditional and scientific research. In fact, many modern pharmaceuticals have been derived from chemical compounds found in a plant, such as the medication Digoxin derived from foxglove and Aspirin from willow bark. Therapeutic activity of a plant is due to its complex chemical nature, which is of interest within the scientific community. Using these medicinal plants may provide a natural option for healing and can be tailored to a clients needs.

Lifestyle Counselling

Naturopathy recognises there can be various psycho-emotional components to symptoms and disease, which makes lifestyle counselling one of the most important elements of practice. It involves a collaborative effort between client and practitioner to come up with a treatment plan that the client can realistically start integrating into their life. Lifestyle counselling provides guidance with mindfulness, goal setting, affirmations, journaling, exercise and relaxation techniques.

Flower Essence Therapy

One of my favourite ways to help address the emotional and energetic layers of symptoms and disease is using flower essence therapy. Ninety-five percent of our thoughts and behaviours come from our subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is like a data-bank for everything that is not in your conscious mind. It stores your beliefs, your previous experience, your memories and your skills. Flower essences work to reprogram limiting beliefs that may be holding you back from healing and progressing forward in your life.

Iridology

Iridology is the study of the iris, and just like markings on a map, eyes can reveal a great depth of detail around ones current state of health along with inherent tissue strengths and challenges. I love using Iridology to better understand the constitution and bio-individuality of a client. Though it should never be used as a stand-alone diagnostic technique, it is an incredibly useful screening tool to use alongside thorough case-taking to detect inherent individual predispositions and potential health vulnerabilities in their earliest stages.

Diagnostic Testing

Often times it can be difficult to investigate and pin point underlying imbalances in the body through case taking and physical examination alone, this is where diagnostic testing comes in! I can interpreting simple pathology tests, as they are an affordable way to gain deeper insight into the state of ones health. I also offer a range of functional testing through Interclinical Laboratories, Microba and NutriPATH, that can allow me to further understand underlying biochemical factors. I address clients on an individual basis, and will discuss testing options as they become clinically relevant.
