Naturopaths aim to identify and remove any obstacles to healing, recovery and wellness, endeavouring to facilitate and increase the inherent self-healing process.
Naturopathy is a holistic system of medicine based on the healing power of nature. The main focus of Naturopathic treatment is to find the underlying cause or reason for illness and treat according to these findings. Treatment includes body, mind, and spirit – a holistic approach to your health and wellness.
To achieve wellness, I will use a variety of therapies such as nutritional advice, lifestyle changes, vitamin/mineral supplementation, herbal medicine, bach and bush remedies and homotoxicology.
There are two areas of focus in Naturopathy:
• supporting the body's own healing abilities, and
• empowering you to make lifestyle changes necessary your best possible health.
Illness comes in many forms and as part of your healing journey I may ask that you change your diet, take vitamin/mineral supplements, flower essenses and/or homeopathic remedies. Usually a rule of thumb for treatment length is 1-3 months for every year that you have had your condition. Unfortunately wellness does not come overnight OR without effort on your part.
It is my goal, together with you, to achieve the best possible health outcome through evidence based complementary health care. I will be your guide and work with you on this wellness journey to return your VITALITY!!
Natural alternatives that complement your lifestyle!

Hello, my name is Carrie Walters and I have been in clinical practice for over 6 years. Apart from teaching some subjects of Naturopathy at the Canberra Institute of Technology, I love working with people to reach their "health potential."
An initial consultation will usually take 1 hour, and during this time I take a detailed client history, which includes lifestyle, diet, family history, and discussion about your expectations. Follow-up consultations are recommended 2-4 weeks after the initial consultation and can take anywhere between ½ hour to 45 mins.
Testimonials
As a category world champion endurance cyclist, my health is always my top priority. I was devastated when over a period of months I got sicker and sicker and all the doctors were pointing at different things. Carrie was the only one to take a holistic approach to the problem and come up with a solution. I’ve been working with Carrie for almost 6 months now and I’ve never felt better. My cravings for sugar and my fatigue issues are a thing of the past, and I’m healthier than ever. I would highly recommend Carrie to anyone that is looking to improve their health and well being.

Carrie is an inspiration! I went to Carrie after a recommendation from a friend, initially it was just to get some help to lose weight and get my immune system functioning.
What I got was a naturopath, life coach and personal trainer all in one. I have to date lost nearly 30kgs, I’m back doing sports and living life all thanks to this wonderful woman. I recommend Carrie to everyone I meet and if you are reading this I promise you, you will not be disappointed engaging Carrie to assist in your health needs.
Aaron V, Chisholm
I would like to thank you for facilitating my recent life change. Since joining your well being program, I have learned about eating, exercising and living for me! I now know what works for me and what choices to make. I will never go on another “fad” diet again! I am just sorry it has taken 40 years to figure this out! If only I had met you years ago! Not only did I learn from your wealth of knowledge and experiences, I had heaps of fun and laughter along the way! Thanks!
Kindest regards, Jacqui B, Greenway
Carrie truly believes that nutrition is the way to sustain health and vitality. She is passionate about what she does and has a way of encouraging you to be compliant in order to get results - and I did! Thank you for your guidance!

The Dis-ease Model
Symptoms are alarm bells!! Diseases are labels that describe the grouping of these alarm bells. Treating the alarm bells without looking at their cause is like turning off the fire alarm without puttin out the fire! It will ultimately give you relief from the “noise” but is inevitably creating a false sense of security. Treating the symptoms only is the essence of the “Dis-ease Model”.
The Health Model
It is easy – your current health status will ALWAYS be the result of YOU and WHAT YOU DO!!!!
Before you can confidently improve your overall health, you need to know the answers to these questions –
• What’s not working well within you,
• What lifestyle habits are putting you under pressure?
What to expect under my care!
• A nutritional, lifestyle, work and stress level assessment.
• A personalised treatment plan will be tailored to your individual needs to include underlying possible reasons for your ill health.
• You will not be subjected to unnecessary purchases or unmanageable dietary regimes.
• I pride myself on my dedication to helping people achieve their goals and offer “after sales service”, guaranteed follow-up with clients to ensure compliance!
When treating an individual I apply the following main principles of Naturopathic Medicine, which are to;
Identify and Treat the Causes
To identify and remove the underlying causes of illness, rather than to merely eliminate or suppress symptoms.
Do No Harm
Three guidelines to avoid harming the patient:
1. use methods and medicines which minimize the risk of harmful side effects,
2. avoid, when possible, the harmful suppressing of symptoms
3. acknowledge, respect and work with the individual's self-healing process.
Teacher
Share information and knowledge with clients and encourage self- responsibility for health.
Treat the whole person
Treat each patient by taking into account individual physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental and social factors.
Emphasize prevention
Highlight the prevention of disease by assessing risk factors, heredity and susceptibility to disease and making appropriate interventions in partnership with clients to prevent illness.
Support the healing power of the Body
Recognise an inherent self healing process in individuals which is ordered and intelligent.
The key diagnostic tools used in clinic
Bioimpedance analysis
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measures the impedance or opposition to the flow of an electric current through the body fluids contained mainly in the lean and fat tissue.
This is a great tool for weight loss. It can identify fluid retention, fat to muscle ratio. It is a great tool for compliance, as each client is given a report showing their progress.
The BIA test checks the following:
• Fluid balance - to show how well hydrated the cells are (either grapes or raisins!) Also detects fluid retention and whether the body is holding on to toxic waste tha may be hindering weight loss and lack of energy.
• Muscle mass – insufficient muscle mass doesn’t allow for efficient fat burning.
• Fat mass - percentage determines the style of eating and exercise that will work best for you. Whether you need to reduce fat and how much!
• Estimated Cellular age – this is best when it’s close to your actual age. This is worth knowing to track improvements.
People who may benefit from a BIA assessment include those who may want to:
• Manage their weight more effectively
• Increase muscle tone and fitness
• Improve energy levels
• Age healthily
• Support the nutrition and health of their body
Indican and Heavy metal test
The Urinary Indican Test is an accurate screening tool, allowing identification of the putrefaction of protein in the gastrointestinal tract. A positive test reflects a state of intestinal dysbiosis.
The test results show possible gastrointestinal toxicity as a result of protein putrefaction.While there may be other toxic conditions of the colon that do not produce protein putrefaction (such as amoebic infestation or overgrowth of rare pathogenic bacteria), protein putrefaction is normally a result of intestinal dysbiosis.
Once diagnosed, the client will benefit from treatments and results will include better energy due to increased absorption of nutrients, reduced inflammation and ability to clear waste easily.
The Heavy Metal urine test indicates the presence of any Mercury, Copper, Lead and Zinc within the body.
Zinc test
With each consultation I provide a FREE zinc taste test. A zinc taste test is a quick and accurate way to measure your zinc levels and takes about 2 minutes with the results immediately available.
Zinc is required for the following functions:
• Healthy immune function
• Inhibition of angiogenesis - the growth of blood vessels to supply developing cancer cells
• Brain development
• Increases efficiency of Carbon Dioxide exchange within the lungs
• Reduces excessive lactic acid levels
• Assists Human Growth Hormone and Insulin production
RBTI Analysis
Ream’s Biological Theory of Ionization (RBTI Analysis) has been used in clinical practice for over 50 years and has helped many thousands of people. It is named after Carey Reams the scientist who through extensive laboratory testing and mathematics came up with what he called the formula for perfect health.
This is a urine and saliva test that can give a clear insight into the body chemistry and enables me to understand underlying causes of a presenting health problems, as well as prevent conditions that may be “brewing”. It is the perfect way to see if someone is following family disease tendencies. Simple treatments can help the body back into homeostatis.
This test can show whether you are breaking down, absorbing and clearing food and wastes. It provides insight into liver function, carbohydrate use and water/salt levels.
It can also provide information on parts of the body which may be under pressure, such as thyroid, pancreas, heart, reproductive area or digestive tract.
Support the healing power of the Mind and Spirit
Flower essences have been used throughout the world by many cultures as a form of healing.
This method was popularized in the 1930s by Dr Edward Bach, a renowned British practitioner of Bacteriology and Homoeopathy. Dr Bach believed that disease originated with the mood and temperament of the patient and identified the following seven categories of negative states of mind, and developed a range of 38 flower essences.
• Apprehension
• Uncertainty and indecision
• Loneliness
• Insufficient interest in present circumstances
• Over sensitiveness to ideas and Influence
• Despondency and despair
• Over care for welfare of others
Since Bach, the work spread, fulfilling the need for remedies that would help people deal with the issues of the 21st century, resulting in hundreds of different remedies including essences produced from crystals and shells each unique in its healing power.
Ian White, fifth generation Herbalist developed the world renowned Australian Bush Flower Essences which explores the application of essences in areas such as communication, self-esteem, sexuality, learning, creativity, abundance and spirituality to name just a few. There are over 70 essences including his new white light range.
Negative emotions and thoughts, and even diseases are treated by choosing a remedy to match the temperament of the patient and their current state of mind. They are not used directly for physical complaints but for the sufferer's worry and anxiety, as these states of mind are seen as primary causes of illness. The essences work on a vibrational level, allowing the life force to flow more freely as harmony is restored to the body.
They are completely safe, with no side effects, can easily be self prescribed, and easy to use with children.
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. Reiki practitioners channel energy in a particular pattern to heal and harmonize. Unlike other healing therapies based on the premise of a human energy field, Reiki seeks to restore order to the body whose vital energy has become unbalanced.
It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that the "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
Reiki energy has several basic effects: it brings about deep relaxation, destroys energy blockages, detoxifies the system, provides new vitality in the form of healing universal life energy, and increases the vibrational frequency of the body.
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.
