What is Naturopathy? Naturopathy is a philosophical approach to health care that applies these key principals:
- Treat the whole person, not just their conditions or symptoms.
- Heal the root cause of a disease or condition, while also alleviating the symptom
- Focus on prevention as well as the cure
I use an integrative approach to Nutritional Therapy. While applying these Naturopathic principals, I combine researched based nutritional recommendation with other healing tools such as herbal remedies and bach flower remedies. In situations where further investigation may be required, I may refer you to your GP for common blood testing or other diagnostic testing.
I have a special interest and great success in supporting the following areas of health:
- Women’s health and hormonal balance
- Fertility, Pregnancy, and Antenatal care
- Endocrine Imbalances which may result in thyroid conditions, insulin irregularities, adrenal depletion, weakened immunity and inflammation
- Chronic stress and its affect on energy levels, sleep, mood, and systemic health
- Digestive disorders and food sensitivities
- Weight loss and the factors that impact it
- Sports nutrition
An initial consultation will last around 90 minutes. During this time, we will discuss, in detail, your wellness goals and current health state, your health history, and each body system to understand the interrelationship. From our discussion, I will create an individualised programme to guide you on the first steps to wellness.
Follow ups will last 45 minutes and the number of follow ups required depends on the individual and their needs.
