What I do
My Methods
Treatment methods are non-invasive using Nutrition, Herbal Medicine, and lifestyle modifications. Based on a holistic approach, I use a range of assessments including Iridology, tongue and nail analysis, as well as functional pathology testing. As a Naturopath and Clinical Nutritionist, Functional Diagnostics is more specific than regular pathology and can be crucial to assess and find the root cause. Functional testing has become core to my practice because of the targeted solutions.
Examples of Functional testing:
- Microbiome profile
- Mineral levels
- Heavy Metal Testing
- Nutrigenomics
Options for appointments include in-clinic or online.
My Philosophy
We start ageing the moment we are conceived, so the ultimate goal is healthy ageing: to remain vital while forever learning and increasing knowledge, skills, and wisdom.
I don’t believe in “detoxes” as our bodies naturally detoxify every day, but I do believe in individualised treatments to support body systems in need of improved function.
Small changes make a big impact. Going cold turkey or extreme dieting is not likely to result in optimal long-term health. Working slowly and methodically results in manageable changes you won’t even notice while you are on a path to revitalised health.
Naturopathy and Nutrition helps with:
If you are dealing with Digestive symptoms, Hormonal imbalances, stubborn Weight, Fatigue, Pain and Inflammation, then rest assured that I have helped many with these very same health problems. Despite having an amazing medical system for emergencies, some chronic health problems often do not respond to medical treatment or have unwanted side effects. I take an integrative approach and address the root cause of the problem with natural solutions.
Herbal Medicine & Flower Essences
Herbal Medicine is the use of plants referred to as phytotherapy. It is the oldest form of medicine with scientific studies published today, using these powerful herbs are essential to gently nudging the body back into balance.
Flower Essences are used to address the energetic or emotional part of the holistic treatment which is often neglected.
Nutritional Supplements
My first choice is always food as medicine, but I do recommend nutritional supplements where deficiencies are apparent, when the body is unable to absorb vital nutrients, or when diet alone will not suffice. This is individualised because nutritional guidelines differ depending on age, body size, gender, stage of life, or lifestyle. This can be ingested in capsule, tablet, powder, or liquid form, or applied topically in some cases.
Iridology Analysis
Iridology is the study of the eyes, specifically the iris. It is another body sign which is observed. The pupil, iris colour and patterns help me to get an overall picture of your genetic make-up. With this information I am able to identify possible weaknesses, or body systems which could use extra nurturing or support.
Lifestyle & Nutrition advice
I have found that quite often dietary and lifestyle changes are all that is needed to make a big difference to health outcomes. I don't believe in dieting, but I prefer to work with your current diet/lifestyle and suggest small, simple changes which make a huge difference.
