Welcome to Ginger & ThymeSpecialising in women's health, my success in restoring the health of so many individuals stems from my absolute passion, love and understanding of holistic medicine. Watching the transformation of my client’s health flourish makes my job a very special and truly rewarding one.
A qualified Naturopathy, I am trained in modern and holistic therapies including:
- Nutritional medicine
- Diet and lifestyle rebalancing
- Herbal medicine and
- Homeopathic medicine.
My initial consultation takes up to 90 minutes and involves an assessment of your treatment goals, a comprehensive analysis of your organ systems, medical history, family history and diet and lifestyle.
Follow up consultations generally take 45-60 minutes and are offered to review your overall progress, fine- tune your treatment protocol and help support your journey to good health.
After each consultation, an individualised treatment programme will be e-mailed to you, detailing medicinal, dietary and lifestyle recommendations. Products are delivered directly to you generally within 2-3 days of confirming the order. Email support is complementary and is offered throughout the course of your treatment.
Naturopathy and its benefitsSo what is Naturopathy and how can it help you? Naturopathy is a long established practice of holistic medicine. By integrating conventional health sciences with a range of holistic therapies and traditional medicines, naturopathy can treat and support your physical, emotional and mental wellbeing.
A Naturopath will always seek to address the underlying root cause of the condition rather than provide a band-aid effect to mask the symptoms.
The benefits of naturopathic treatment are endless and in addition to helping to resolve your most pressing health concerns, it is likely that you will also experience an increased sense of vitality, improved sleep quality, clearer skin, improved energy levels and much more.
Some of the many conditions I have helped through naturopathic therapy include:
Balancing gynaecological and hormonal health- Optimizing fertility
- Pre-conception, pregnancy and post-natal health
- Children’s health and wellbeing
- Encouraging healthy digestion
- Balancing weight variations
