I have been a practising Naturopath for more than 16 years, specialising in Herbal Medicine. I also utilise Iridology and Bach Flower Remedies.
SERVICES
A key element of my practice is my mobility - I will come to you! I am happy to visit clients at home from Edmonton to Palm Cove, simply phone ahead for an appointment.
An initial consultation will take approximately one hour, with follow-up appointments around half an hour. Some follow-up consultations may be completed over the phone for your convenience.
A typical consultation begins with a comprehensive case history, including Iridological analysis, zinc testing, blood pressure, nails and tongue indicators. From these results I will be able to individually tailor a herbal formula specific to you and will have your formula delivered to your door.
I am also able to suggest supplements to support your health, and treat you in an holistic manner - encompassing emotional as well as physical issues.
HERBAL MEDICINE
What is it?
It is a form of medicine using plants seed, berries, roots, leaves, bark or flowers. Herbs for Medicinal purposes have been used long before recorded history. The popularity for phytomedicine (Herbal Medicine) continues today.
Recently the World Health Organization estimated that 80% of people worldwide rely on herbal remedies for some part of heir primary health care.
Today with the advances in clinical research, rigorous quality control measures and ever increasing detailed analysis of more and more herbs Herbal Medicine is becoming more mainstream.
While many of today’s drugs or their precursors are derived from plants they no longer have the complexity and all the benefits that accompany plant extracts. Western Medicine in many cases have taken a pure chemical, or one specific part of the plant, refined and eventually chemically reproduced it. This can lead to side affects and the necessity to prescribe more drugs to counteract these side affects. They have forgotten that Synergy is an important concept in Herbal pharmacology (how agents act on the body to create therapeutic effects). Nature has provided the balance within the whole plant, therefore eliminating the need for counter measures. Combining different herbs into individual formulas allows me as a practitioner to issue a formula with the herbs supporting, emphasizing, stabilizing and increasing bioavailability. This allows me to support, heal and/or nourish body tissue and functions.
Let me as a trained Health Care Provider with over 16 years experience recommend and prepare a health strategy to meet YOUR individual needs.
NATUROPATHY
What is it?
It is a system of healing that looks at the whole health of the body. Its aim is to use natural healing methods to encourage the body to heal itself.
As a Naturopath it is very important to me to work with a client to promote the natural healing of the body. Together we work with the body’s natural processes trying not to suppress but encourage better levels of wellness.
Some of the conditions effectively treated by Naturopaths are:-
*Arthritic conditions
*Asthma
*Chronic Fatigue
*Constipation
*Depression
*Insomnia
*Digestive complaints such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome
*Menstrual and Menopausal problems
*Restless leg syndrome
*Fertility problems
*Recurrent cystitis
These are just a few of the conditions that I treat effectively in my clinic. Sometimes it is hard to put all the signs and symptoms into a clinical box. This is where treating the person as an individual becomes extremely important. I can devise a program based entirely on your needs.
IRIDOLOGY
What is it?
This is a science based on the analysis of one of the most complicated tissue structures of the whole body – The IRIS
By examining the Iris for colour, patterns, markings, density and placement of fibres a map of the body can be made. Iridology in conjunction with a detailed case history can explain signs, symptoms and patterns within the body.
Iridology is simple, painless, economical and non invasive. It allows us an insight to the development of chronic conditions, inflammatory processes, weaknesses and also our personalities and emotional states.
