Naturopathy is a healing modality that seeks the underlying or ‘root’ cause of illness and disease. Naturopathy focuses on guiding the body to restore its natural balance (homeostasis).
Natural medicine is one of the oldest healing arts in the world, Western herbal medicine dates back to the time of Hippocrates.
Hippocrates believed the human body should be treated as a “whole” not as a sum of its parts. His firm belief was in the healing power of nature within the human body.
Each and every body is unique, with a multitude of environmental and biological factors affecting its function.
What are the aims of Naturopathy?

Prevent disease or disease progression.

What do I do as a Naturopath?
My approach is about the individual.
I see my role as a Naturopath is to clear the murky waters and identify the most appropriate treatment on an individual level.
Help identify the underlying source of health concerns and address them before they cause disease.
Patients are often surprised at the difference naturopathy can make to how good they feel each day.
Small changes to your lifestyle, diet and the support of nutritional supplements and herbal medicines can provide balance.
Every one of us has an innate ability to heal ourselves given the correct treatment and combination of nutrition, exercise, relaxation and awareness.
I take the time to understand every part of your physical make up – your medical history, lifestyle demands and stresses, your goals, attitudes, nutrition, physical and emotional predispositions.
Working with me, is a positive step towards rewriting your health journey and in gaining an understanding and ownership of where you are right now.
