Discover how you can recover from chronic pain or illness, gain an understanding of your body's needs so that you are able to manage your health better. Is your diet adequate, or for that matter is your children's diet ideal for them? Are they climbing the walls, uncontrollable? It may be as simple as determining what is lacking or in excess in the diet. Perhaps there is an unfavourable reaction to a food or substance and you have no idea what it could be. In any of these instances, I will help you to achieve relief and manage the situation
Do you want to loose weight? Are you tired constantly, unable to sleep? PMS a problem? Any of these health issues can turn your life into complete and utter turmoil. Let me help you find the balance and relief you desire. I do not offer quick fixes as I know that long term solutions are what you are seeking. Your health is my ambition.

Naturopathy is based on the principals of addressing long term illnesses using sound judgment and skills combined with ensuring that your diet and lifestyle provides the essential requirements good health and harmony. Once the body has the essential ingredients and impurities and imbalances that result in inflammation and disharmaony are removed, the body will take over and balance will be achieved.

Hippocrates, the father of medicine once stated: "Only nature heals, providing it is given the opportunity to do so; let food be your medicine and let medicine be your food". How true this is even today when research is discovering that the foods in our diet can actually have a beneficial effect at a genetic level. Spices and herbs such as Ginger and garlic can have anti-inflammatory and healing qualities. Foods that are processed are 'dead foods', lacking in vitality that comes from the earth and sun, good foods are therefore fresh, unprocessed, alive and vital. Along with diet Naturopathy embraces fresh air, water and sunshine and the ultilisation of healing, balancing techniques such as relaxation to restore a healthy balance. Our bodies need all these qualities to ensure good health and when the body cannot achieve a healthy balance it is one of these essential aspects that is lacking.
'Disease is an expression of purification, and all disease is one" - Hippocrates
Naturopathy therefore embraces the teachings of Hippocrates and utilises diet, nutrition, water, sun, air, heat, massage and other relaxation techniques to help restore health.
Paracelsus also quoted: "Poison is in everything, and no thing is without poison. The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy.

"If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.”
- Hippocrates

Naturopathy looks for the imbalance, today we use many tools to assist us with this process such as those listed below...

Iridology & sclerology

Iridology, is the study of the markings in the coloured part of the eye, or iris and the white part of the eye or sclera. This is not a new modality but one that has been studied for thousands of years, the earliest iris charts being dated back to egyptian hieroglyphs. In the Western world Iridology was developed by Dr.Bernard Jensen, and it is through his dedication to research and teaching of iridology that has since lead to further research over the past years to give us the skills we have today. Iridology is not fully understood but with recent research it is thought that there are as many as 21 systems in the body sending data from body tissues to the irises that result in changes of the iris texture, colour and the development of specific markings. It is the skilled iridologist that reads these markings to determine your inherited constitution and traits and your potential towards tissue changes in the body. From this you can learn how to support your body and thereby prevent possible tissue changes occuring and may help your practitioner to determine the source of present aggrivations. Iridology does not show a specific disease but more specific tissue changes that combined may predispose you to some of the symptoms you may be experiencing.

Sclerology While iridology markings give the practitioner insight as to your genetic and overall constitution, both physical and emotional, Sclerology will give more information as to the present changes in the body. Together they provide more detailed information as to your present health status.
Images for both iridology and sclerology are obtained with specialised Eyeronec camera equipment designed for this purpose. The image is also displayed on a flat screen during the session which allows you to see and discuss with me your potential and genetically inherited traits. Images may also be printed, and reports can also be generated if desired.

Dorn Spinal therapy is a gentle but effective method that re-allignes the spinal column without manipulation. There is no sudden impact, therefore energy lines and body fluids are not being compressed and there is no shock to the body. This method has been used for many years in Germany and is one of the most popular treatments used in Europe today by natural therapists and practitioners for spinal problems with great success.
There are some situations where Dorn Spinal Therapy is contraindicated such as after recent accident or surgery, acute inflammations, prolapsed disc or those on cortisone medication or cancer. On the other hand, Dorn Spinal therapy may give relief if you suffer from:

Back pain
Neck pain
Sciatica
Headaches
Joint Pain

The combination of Dorn Spinal therapy and other modalities such as therapeutic massage will build a good foundation for the muscular and skeletal structure and a great benefit for chronic aches and pains.

Heamview (Live Blood Analysis) Hemaview is a simple proceedure requiring just a fingerprick of blood for analysis. This is then placed under a high powered microscope (hospital grade) that containes a darkfield condensor and allows the practitioner and the client to observe the blood live. This is a valuable tool that helps to assertain your current health and nutritional status. Once a hemaview is performed it can then also become a guide for the practitioner to measure improvement and substantiate that treatment chosen for you is actually working. Images from the microscope can be realyed to to flat screen, saved and reports can also be generated if desired.

Allergies, Skin Complaints:

Eczema
Psoriasis
Dermatitis
Food Intollerances

Over 23 years of clinical practice as a Naturopath has brought many allergy and skin conditions into the clinic, young and old, most responding well to ensuring that the body is not deficient of nutrients and the appropriate topical creams, supplements, herbs are selected for the individual.
I use a number of methods to determine the appropriate treatment and may include:
Hair Testing- for food intollerance and mineral imbalance
Consultation including history of occurance & prevelance of complaint
Dietary history information
Hemaview
Iridology & Sclerology

Once a detailed history is taken, treatment is then commenced often with recommendations as to requirement for testing and dietary changes.
If you have tried everything with little to no improvement, consider taking a natural approach, you may be surprised at what you can achieve!
