Naturopathy
"Naturopathic medicine (also known as naturopathy) is a holistic system of medicine that recognises the innate healing intelligence of the body and the intrinsic relationship between mind, body, spirit, and nature. It is an integrative system of medicine that blends the wisdom of nature and traditional knowledge with contemporary scientific knowledge and evidence
Naturopathic medicine is a science and philosophy of healing, centered upon the body's natural ability to heal itself when given the right conditions. It is my role as practitioner to help you understand and facilitate how to create the most favourable conditions to stimulate and enhance this inherent healing ability.
Naturopaths are trained as healthcare providers to support those with both acute and chronic conditions, to facilitate optimal health and wellbeing, and in the prevention of disease. The good news is you don’t even need to be sick to benefit from natural remedies like herbal medicine! There are many herbal allies that are ‘tonics’ to the various organs and body systems. Taking these plant allies can be an insurance policy to prevent future illnesses and to enhance your general health and vitality.
Treatment is tailored to your individual needs and commonly incorporates herbal and botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, dietary and lifestyle advice. Attempting to identify and address the underlying pattern of imbalance and disease is fundamental to the naturopathic approach. Integral are also encouraging autonomy, the art of heart connection, the wisdom of listening to our bodies and honouring symptoms as messengers and catalysts for change.
