-
Naturopathy is a holistic form of medicine that focuses on supporting the body’s natural healing abilities. It involves the use of natural therapies, including nutrition, herbal medicine, lifestyle guidance, and functional testing, to restore balance and improve overall health. Rather than just addressing symptoms, naturopathy seeks to uncover and treat the root causes of health issues.
-
Naturopathic consultations are more in-depth and holistic. We take time to discuss not only your current symptoms but also your medical history, lifestyle, diet, emotional well-being, and environmental factors. This comprehensive approach allows me to create a personalised treatment plan that supports your unique needs and helps address the root causes of your health concerns.
-
During your initial consultation (60-75 minutes), we will discuss your health history, current symptoms, and wellness goals. I will ask questions to understand the full picture of your health, including lifestyle factors such as diet, stress, sleep, and exercise. From there, we will develop a treatment plan that is tailored specifically to you, which may include nutrition advice, herbal remedies, lifestyle modifications, and functional testing.
-

If you have any specific health concerns, feel free to book a free 10 minute consultation and we can discuss how naturopathy can help.
-
Functional testing helps to get a deeper understanding of your body’s health, beyond what can be seen through standard medical tests. It includes tests like hormone profiling, gut health analysis, food intolerance testing, and thyroid function tests. These tests provide valuable insights that allow us to create a more accurate, targeted treatment plan that addresses the underlying causes of your health concerns. Examples of functional testing include gut microbiome analysis, hair and tissue mineral analysis (HTMA), and organic acids testing (OATs).
-
No, it’s not necessary to stop any prescribed medications. Naturopathy works alongside conventional medicine, and I will happily collaborate with your other healthcare providers to ensure a safe and effective treatment plan. Always consult with your doctor before making changes to your medications.
