HOW WE WORK
As Naturopaths we use a variety of modalities, including nutrition, herbal medicine, diet and lifestyle modifications to help patients achieve optimal health. A decisive section of your treatment will involve nutrition and the benefiting factors of what you put in your body - it is a principle in your health journey but not all we do!
Herbal medicine can be customised to meet an individuals unique health needs and without the side effects that many conventional medicines have. In saying that, herbal medicines do come with interactions and risks, so it’s always advised to consult with a qualified health professional to ensure safe and effective use.

Testing and Pathology.
As Naturopaths, we use functional medicine principles to interpret pathology. This involves looking at how different systems in the body are functioning and how they may be affecting each other.
When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change!
Remember tests are just numbers and graphs, it’s all down to interpretation and what you’re looking for. The way we always describe it to our clients is the medical system is there to keep you alive, and naturopathy helps you thrive!
Testing helps to take the guess work out of treatment and saves money in the long-run. It also helps to get to the root cause of what’s causing your concerns. It helps us, help you, faster!
Yes, we can send you for testing, but we can also interpret existing bloodwork that you may have. If you want to dig a little deeper, please reach out!
