What is Naturopathy?

Naturopathy or Naturopathic Medicine is a natural approach to healthcare which works to identify and treat the cause(s) of illness, as well as alleviating symptoms.

​

My job as a Naturopath is to figure out the WHY behind what is happening. It is not until causes of health concerns are identified and treated, that symptoms permanently resolve.

To find causes of health concerns, we go through in-depth questioning and sometimes testing to ascertain why the body is struggling - an initial consultation taking between 60-90 minutes - we need this amount of time to cover absolutely everything, past and present.

Health issues are resolved using a combination of dietary and lifestyle modifications alongside vitamin, mineral and herbal supplementation if needed. All supplements recommended are checked to be safe alongside medications, and chosen following up to date scientific proof of their efficacy. 

​

The Process (in person or via video or phone call)

​

• Initial Consultation as above to assess current health and where we need to go 

​

• Follow up consultation (30-60 mins). Assess progress and alter the plan as necessary. Sometimes change happens quickly, sometimes it takes a while, depending on several factors. Whatever the case though, I will work with you for as long as it takes to help you restore health. 

​

The recommendations made during a Naturopathic consult are safe and effective.  I am able to treat a wide range of conditions, from mild to severe, acute to chronic, from new-born to elderly, in all systems of the body. See below for a list of conditions I can help with. As well as a treatment, Naturopathy is also an effective preventative medicine, helping the body to maintain health for years to come, decreasing risk of disease through education of healthy diet and lifestyle habits which nourish the body and mind.

Why is Naturopathy effective?

​

Because it is common sense and brings us back to the ways our great grandparents operated: Balanced healthy diet / balanced healthy lifestyle / natural medicine. That's it. Nothing alternative or 'woo woo'. When I make my recommendations I often hear "makes sense - probably knew I needed to do some of these things"

​

Why I am so passionate..

​

I have been through health concerns of my own - through the medical system, tested, and told there was nothing wrong when there clearly was. I have seen hundreds of patients who have been going around in circles with doctors and Dr google and getting nowhere until they discover what natural medicine can do. I LOVE the challenge of figuring out exactly what is happening for people and WHY. It gives me a whole lot of satisfaction getting to the bottom of problems, and helping people find solutions. My favourite part is the follow up, where we go through all symptoms and usually see great change. The happiness and relief I see warms my heart and validates this work for me every day.
