About Me
I am dedicated to Natural Medicine and its place in today’s health picture, building a healthier generation of fitter less stressed and more resilient people across all age groups.
My desire is to bring about a holistic approach to a state of wellbeing so that optimal health and vigour is achieved.
I have a Bachelor of Health Science in Naturopathy, a four year University Degree that encompasses a wide array of subjects and assessements pertaining to all elelments of Natural Medicine. This training has led me to understand the science and biochemistry of the human body in disease and illness as well as optimal health and its healing abilites. The use of a holistic approach to balance and support the mind, body and spirit. In addition, I also have over 20 years’ experience as a registered nurse and midwife. Nursing has taught me empathy, compassion and the abiltiy to communicate to others about their health and well being and the importance of these two elements in daily living.
My Naturopathic and nursing experience and the solid understanding of disease, illness and life events allows me provide an integrated method to help you achieve your good health, vigour, natural homeostasis and dynamic energy.
The Naturopathic approach to health and disease focuses on optimizing health where good health already exists, restoring health where it has deteriorated and the prevention or slowing of health issues that develop.
Underpinning these principles is the basic understanding that all illness must have a cause, and for health to be restored and optimized, the cause of the disease state must be identified and removed. A Naturopath looks at the whole person and not just the presenting complaint.
Naturopathy promotes nutritious food, adequate rest, clean air, fresh water and the use of herbal medicines to assist the body with its own innate self-healing potential. All living forms possess an inherent self-regulating ability for healing. Treatment strategies support and enhance this potential.
The naturopath is also a teacher who seeks to educate and encourage self-awareness in her clients and in doing so, supports the body’s natural healing potential motivating and empowering the client.
Allow me to help you take an active role in your health and wellness and pursue a lifestyle that can bring you good health, vibrant energy and a complete sense of wellbeing.
