Naturopathy assesses your nutrition, diet and lifestyle to assist the body to heal using natural therapies. Naturopathy is based on the body’s own ability to heal and treating the whole person not just the symptom.
The aim is to assist you back into the best health possible and to maintain a good diet and lifestyle.
We offer in clinic and telehealth Naturopathy consultations for most patients. This is a large part of the integrative medicine approach and works well for many presentations.
Patient information
What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is a system of health care that is guided by core holistic principles:
- Support the natural healing processes of the body
- Apply safe, corrective strategies to ensure the body can restore health
- Find the underlying cause, not simply treat the symptoms
- Understand that everyone is individual and treat the whole person
- Preventative health, where possible identify and address dysfunction early and prevent onset of chronic health conditions.
How will I benefit from working with a Naturopath?
Naturopathy focuses on disease prevention and the underlying cause of a condition and applies treatments that work in alliance with the natural healing mechanisms of the body rather than against them. A naturopath not only treats the health challenges but also provides clear strategies to patients on how to empower and improve their life by minimising illnesses from the outset.
Naturopathic services may assist with prevalent health conditions including cardiovascular health, hormonal imbalance, fertility, menopause, digestion, immune system improvement, stress, sleep disorders, allergies and skin conditions, migraines, degenerative illness such as arthritis and also preventative health strategies.
