Treatments
Naturopathy can help you with a broad range of health conditions, it not only treats the symptoms of an illness but identifies causes so that you can better manage your health. Natural therapies are designed to use natural products such as herbs, food and nutritionals to rebalance the body and stimulate it to heal itself.
Diet and Lifestyle changes alone can improve symptoms and help to prevent a range of chronic illness and disease.
Herbal Medicine is an ancient old system of healing with plants that is effective in restoring balance and improving the function of body systems and organs.
Iridology involves looking at the iris (the coloured part of the eye) under magnification and is a diagnostic tool used to gather information about an individuals genetic make-up and bodily functions.
These form the basis of naturopathy. In addition, nutritional supplements, flower essences and lymphatic drainage massage can also be used to fine tune your individual treatment plan.

About Me
I have worked as a midwife and women's health nurse in a range of maternity hospitals in and around Melbourne CBD. The majority of my working time has been spent at the very popular Royal Women's Hospital, leaders in service quality and research. During which I have developed a range of skills beneficial to my role as a naturopath.
My variety of experience at the hospital included work in the delivery suite & postnatal wards, the young mum's and drug & alcohol unit, gynaecology and menopause clinics, family planning and well women's clinics.
During my work I have developed a special interest in menstrual disorders, menopause, male and female fertility, preconception care, and pregnancy and children's health.

The initial consultation takes up to one hour and includes a comprehensive health assessment and iridology. Further tests that I may recommend include saliva, urine and/or blood tests.
An individualised health care plan that is adapted to suit your lifestyle is then developed together with yourself, in order to establish achievable health goals.
