It’s objective is to treat the body as a whole and to educate and support clients to manage their health. It uses traditional naturopathic and current evidence based practices to provide effective therapeutic care.
Treatment plans can include nutritional and lifestyle advice, education, practitioner only herbal liquid tinctures, nutraceuticals, homeopathic remedies, herbal teas and creams.
When to see a naturopath
You can see a naturopath whenever you want!
Naturopaths work with chronic and acute conditions, clients wanting to support their general health and wellbeing or seeking nutritional advice. Clients are more aware of the potential side-effects of pharmeceutical medication and are seeking natural and effective treatment. Clients are sick of not feeling well and rellying increasingly on prescription medication and feeling like they are not being heard or understood. They are feeling driven to understand what is happening to their body and wanting to know the root cause rather than just managing symptoms.
This is where a naturopath can help.
the CONSULTATION PROCESS
During a consult I will take an in-depth case history including past medical history, medications, body system analysis and diet and lifestyle.
I may conduct physical examinations which could include vital signs such as blood pressure and traditional naturopathic analysis such as nails, tongue and iris.
Analysis of relevant pathology may be discussed or reviewed such as recent blood tests.
Functional pathology may be recommended such as a thyroid panel, food allergies, nutritional profile or hormones for example.
I will discuss with you what I think is happening within your body causing it’s dysregulation and where I think we need to focus and why.
A treatment plan will be formulated based upon the information you have provided to help you reach your health goals. Recommendations and an individualised prescription will be provided.
