Naturopathy is a traditional medicine practice that focuses on treating the whole person, not just the disease. Naturopathy looks deeper at how and why you have come to be unwell and seeks to bring your back to full health utilising the Healing Power of Nature - providing your body with tools it needs to heal itself. Some of the tools a naturopath might use include diet and lifestyle, nutritional medicine, herbal medicine, flower essences, massage and body manipulation, homeopathy, and more.

The million dollar question! This will depend on the severity of your condition or symptoms, how long you have experienced them, and how quickly your body responds to treatment and lifestyle change.

Your initial consultation will last around 60-90 minutes. We will take a deep dive into your health history so that I can better understand what is happening for you. This in-depth discuss will include discussions around your health history, diet, lifestyle, medications, and more, followed by naturopathic physical examinations and analysis of any recent blood work. We will then work together to build a treatment plan that will work for you.
