What is your philosophy or belief about natural healing, and the work you do?

The human being has an innate ability to heal itself. Natural medicine practitioners work in partnership with people to aid the healing process. The mind and body exist in a continuum, so that what affects one aspect of mind or body will effect other parts. This is why natural medicine is known as holistic medicine - all aspects of a person are taken into consideration. Natural medicines target the whole person and not just the disease therefore you experience reduced symptoms as well as an overall improvement in wellness and vitality.

What value added services, or products can you add onto consultations?

My background is in social work so I understand the importance of developing relationships with people and really listening and understanding what they tell me. I use Bioimpedence Analysis (BIA) in my consultations. BIA is a very useful tool in treatment programs designed to improve vitality and healthy aging, weight management and increasing muscle tone and fitness.

What would a normal treatment involve?

At your first consultation, we will do a thorough assessment of your health, focusing on the areas that are most important to you. We may have to do some testing to help us gain a better understanding of what is happening. A treatment plan will be discussed with you. This process takes about 60 minutes. You will be prescribed medicines as required. Follow-up visits are very important to monitor your progress and to keep on track with the treatment plan.

How many sessions will I need?

What qualifications and experience do you have?

I am a qualified naturopath and massage therapist and have run my own practice for the past 5 years. The specific programs run at my clinic include detoxification and weight loss. I present educational talks on health and nutrition at schools, community events and sporting facilities. I also have a Bachelor of Social Work and have worked in various areas, mainly with young people living in residential facilities and their families or carers.

What are the main worries or concerns your clients have when they come to see you?

Most people are suffering the effects of stress when they come to see me. This may include low energy, weight gain or loss, sleep difficulties, mood changes, digestive symptoms such as diarrhea or constipation, and low immunity so get all the colds and flus going around. Others will come after seeing lots of doctors and having batteries of tests to find there is nothing wrong with them. But we all know when something isn’t right within us and so these people need to be reassured that we will help them get to the bottom of the problem.
