Why Consult with a Naturopath?

Naturopaths treat in a holistic manner, this means they are trained to seek the underlying causes of illness rather than simply suppressing symptoms.  A Naturopath will devise an individualised treatment plan to suit each patient as well as provide ongoing health management so that patients are able to continue to live in good health even after healing has taken place.

Who Should See a Naturopath?

Anyone can see a Naturopath, you don’t need an excuse other than wanting to live in good health. A Naturopath is happy to give their trained advice on diet, lifestyle and supportive treatments such as nutritional and herbal medicines whether it be to treat an illness or for general wellbeing.

Naturopathic philosophy has its roots in preventative medicine and the belief that by supporting all body systems and ensuring that optimal nutritional status is maintained, one can live a full and healthy life with a strong immune system and elevated energy levels.
