Naturopathy

Herbal medicine, nutrition and lifestyle support that treats the whole person.

Naturopathy is a system of natural medicine based on the idea that the body can heal itself. It takes a holistic, patient-centred approach that treats you as an individual, not just your symptoms.

How we treat

  • Herbal medicine to treat illness and restore balance
  • Nutritional and dietary therapy for deficiencies, detoxification, weight management and food sensitivities
  • Lifestyle changes for wellbeing and stress reduction
  • Functional testing, such as salivary hormone testing, comprehensive stool analysis, food intolerance testing and mineral and heavy metal analysis

Conditions we see

This is not an exhaustive list.

  • Fatigue and stress-related ailments
  • Digestive and gut disorders
  • Insulin resistance
  • PMS, PCOS, irregular menstruation and other female hormonal issues
  • Anxiety and depression
  • Adrenal fatigue
  • Thyroid problems, including hypo- and hyperthyroidism

Your initial consultation

Your practitioner will look at your main concern and its history and triggers, review all of your body systems, perform a tongue and nail examination and review your diet. You leave with a treatment plan that may include herbal medicines or supplements, dietary and lifestyle changes and the outcomes to expect. If more information is needed, we may refer you for blood or functional tests.

Follow-up consultations

Follow-ups monitor your progress and continue your treatment, usually about every four weeks. We discuss any functional or blood test results and adjust your plan as needed. Follow-ups are booked after your initial consultation.
