My Approach

​My approach adds rather than takes away, with a protocol that enriches rather than restricts. I typically work with individuals over a 6 week, 12 week or 6 month period. Using a whole person approach that investigates the root-cause of a health issue, rather than managing symptoms, we work together to transform your health with evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle strategies.

 

Taking a full case history helps map a timeline of key events; I listen to your story, discuss triggers and find out when you last felt well ~ what was happening around this time ~ childhood health, lifestyle and diet analysis, medications and possible contraindications, toxin exposure as well as undertake an evaluation of all body systems (because everything is interconnected!).

​

Comprehensive case taking provides clues to the root cause of a health concern, the triggers and drivers, and risk factors. We find out when the problems began eg. surgery, accident, trauma, food poisoning, pregnancy, menopause, vaccination, medication or mould exposure.

 

A detailed protocol with sustainable nutritional and lifestyle strategies is tailored to individual need with the body's systems optimally supported and self-healing promoted both in the present and in the future. Short term herbal and/or nutrient supplementation can be recommended. Functional testing can assist by measuring functionality of specific body systems or nutrient imbalances.

 

We can all benefit from a naturopathic approach, with so much in the 21st century accepted as 'normal' living and stress a default state. A key principle is we don't just want to 'cure' clients in the present, but instil methods of effective self-care going forward and an understanding of issues. If you choose to work with me, together we will take back control of your health using science and research based nutritional advice weaved with traditional natural medicine practices.
