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

Nutritional medicine is a wholistic system for assessing and treating the multitude of dis-ease that can result from stresses on the human body. Nutritional medicine relies upon treatments that are natural, non-invasive and balancing so that the body is able to utilize it’s own ability to heal and harmonise. My role as a natural health practitioner is to assess the dis-ease in the context of the whole person and lifestyle, and then to facilitate the healing journey through education, alternative treatments and support. Empowering you to maintain optimal health and healing is my primary objective.

What sort of a guarantee can you put on your service?

I guarantee that I will carefully assess your health concerns and then work with you to plan a treatment regimen that will achieve your goals. As you improve, your confidence in your own ability to manage health concerns will soar and you will feel energised and calm.

What can you do that no one else can to help them?

I can listen, assess, and provide wholistic advice that is specifically targeted at your concerns. In resolving significant health issues it is not uncommon for other less pressing concerns to be alleviated as the body harmonises and rebalances.

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

• Maintenance programmes for ongoing self management
• Prescription of nutritional supplements to boost the body during periods of increased stress
• Birth attendance support (Doula) to provide extra advocacy and care during labour and birth

Why should they see you? What are the benefits of seeing you?

• Assessment, investigation and wholistic diagnosis
• Development of a personal treatment programme to resolve health concerns
• Commitment to long term maintenance of whole body health

What is the potential impact of not seeing you?

Continued unease with discomfort, fatigue and stress. A body out of balance and in pain (mentally or physically) is exhausted and depleted. It is almost impossible to turn this situation around by yourself – however with help you can achieve amazing improvements.

What would a normal treatment involve?

• I listen to your major health concerns
• Take a thorough medical history
• Advise and arrange diagnostic testing and discuss results
• Develop a wholistic treatment plan that may involve lifestyle changes, food therapy and treatment plans, nutritional supplementation and regular review

How many sessions will I need?

A minimum of two treatment sessions if health concerns resolve quickly. If health problems are long standing, complex or very severe than more sessions may be necessary before body harmony is restored. Maintenance of optimal health is always the ultimate goal.

Can I claim through private health insurance?

Yes on the spot HICAPS refunds available. I am registered with NIB, Medibank Private, AHM, Australian Unity, CBHS, GH Health, HBF, HCF and Manchester Unity Health Fund
