Hi, my name is Sue Stevens and I am a fully qualified Naturopath, Homoeopath, Nutritionist, Lecturer, Educator and Massage Therapist and I bring my 18 years of professional and personal insight to a consultation with you so we can work together to correct ill-health and create a new improved you.
I look forward to rediscovering and maintaining your health and well-being on all levels. Health, for me, is not just the absence of disease; it is having a sense of vitality on many levels and the ability to cope with life’s ups and downs with energy and enthusiasm.
I am also happy to have a 10 minute conversation with you prior to booking to make sure a consultation with me is right for you right now.
My Story
I have always loved working with plants, whether working in a florist as a school girl or as a horticulturist after leaving school. I had my own garden and landscaping business for 7 years which I sold to go travelling. Upon my return I decided to look into working with plants in a very different way and started my studies at Nature Care College. Here I learnt from wise and inspiring teachers taking health into consideration from a physical, spiritual and emotional viewpoint. My own health has been improved beyond belief as I applied what I learned.
I started working at McLaren Street Clinic in 1993 and have been here ever since working first as a massage therapist and then a Naturopath. Over the years I have completed many other courses adding to my knowledge base and network of allied practitioners.
I now teach at Nature Care College and North Sydney Community Centre educating larger groups about the wonders and benefits of leading a healthy life. I continue also to do this through private consultation at McLaren Street Clinic.
Are you confused about health issues?
Does the information you read sometimes conflict?

Are you not sure which modality or practitioner to try next?
(With my many years in practice I have built up a wide range of practitioners to whom I may refer).

What’s involved in a consultation?
First I take a detailed history of your symptoms, diet, sleep habits, digestion, family health history, energy levels, supplements and medication. I then look in your iris to see areas of your body that may be over or under functioning or under stress, also to get an idea of your overall constitutional health. This simple process gives me background that I can then go onto confirm with other testing procedures.
We then move over to Hemaview, which is where I take a drop of blood from your finger and put it under the microscope so that your live blood can come up on the screen in front of us. This can tell me many things about your digestion, sensitivities, oxidative damage of cells, dehydration, liver stress, fat metabolism, inflammation levels and your overall immunity. This I find gives me extraordinary information to work from as well as being wonderfully interesting and very compelling. As I count your white cells under the microscope I ask you to lie down to let your fluid levels settle so that the final part of our assessment can begin.
Here I use Cellular Health Analysis to look at your body composition, cell membrane health, hydration, fluid levels by putting a weak electrical pulse through your body that you don’t feel. This quick and painless assessment can also give you your ‘biological age’ as opposed to your chronological age which if different we work to rectify.
With all this information in front of us we look at what measures we can put in place to firstly address the problematic symptoms and the underlying processes that may also need to be addressed to return you to good health.
What areas can be addressed?
Simply anything where you feel under par.
Areas I see a lot of are digestive disturbances, bloating, reflux, flatulence, candida overgrowths, constipation and / or diarrhoea, irritable bowel.
Lowered energy levels that occur at the beginning, middle or end of the day along with sleep disturbances (either getting to sleep or staying asleep) can be addressed.
Stress would have to be one of the most common features with all its many faces. Anxiety, depression, mood swings / disorders can all manifest out of stressful situations of short or long standing.
Cardiovascular health can be significantly improved, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol even when medication has been prescribed to assist.
Immunity issues, either lowered general immunity or auto immune conditions can be improved.
Menstrual problems whether they be painful, heavy or non existent can all be balanced as well as any menopausal problems and other significant issues like osteopenia and osteoporosis.
Weight loss is certainly something I see a lot of and can monitor very successfully with Cellular Health Analysis.
Putting in place eating plans that support weight loss, food sensitivities and general good health are also crucial for long term balance of all conditions.
I see people too who just want to improve their already good health and perhaps are training for ½ or full marathons or triathlons as well as those who would like to under take a yearly detoxification program. Wonderful health improvements can be made too with pre conceptive care for partners, this helps with fertility and a healthier pregnancy and birth.
Modalities...
Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine is still the oldest and still most widely used system of medicine. It provides a safe and effective way of treating not only the symptoms but the underlying cause of disease.
Herbs contain a large number of naturally occurring chemicals that have biological activity and can produce a profound transformation in health without side effects common in drug based medicine.
Whilst they may not always taste great herbs strive to calm what is overactive and nourish what is depleted therefore providing balance to the body. They can also be taken in tablet form for convenience sake.
Iridology
‘The eyes speak the same language everywhere’ George Herbert.
Fundamental to iridology is the concept that the iris is a reliable representation of a person’s well-being. It is nature’s own infallible way of recording tissue change or states of ill-health in the body. Iridology gives us information concerning your health and is an important element of a total health care program.
Eyes are the window to the soul. This modality is a safe and painless way to reveal the condition of every organ in the body. Through various signs and discolourations nature shows us your inherited structure and constitutional health as well as strengths and weakness in certain areas. These areas of weakness are confirmed through other testing procedures and we then come up with a protocol to work on them.
Nutrition
Nutrition establishes a relationship between diet and your level of health. Our bodies require carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins, minerals and water to function correctly and an imbalance can lead to ill-health. Addressing diet and creating a comprehensive balanced program of nutrition through whole foods and nutritional supplements is one of the main ways to regain and maintain health. Making changes in this area can boost energy levels and correct symptoms caused by nutritional deficiencies and food allergies/insensitivities.
In addition, programs can be successfully used to help with weight loss and maintenance, management of chronic diseases and athlete care.
Bach Flowers
Dr Bach was a Harley Street physician at the turn of the 19th centaury who believed all disease originated from the emotions and created a range of 38 flowers essences to balance emotions in order to obtain healing.
Emotions such as fear, anxiety, depression, loneliness, despondency, despair and over sensitivity are addressed and balanced gently with no side effects.
These remedies are powerful yet safe and help to ease mental and emotional suffering and support you through change, stressful situation and crisis. They complement the other modalities beautifully.
Hemaview
A drop of blood taken from your finger and magnified under a microscope (which then comes up on a screen in front of us) can reveal immense detail regarding your digestive function, immunity, cell health, nutrient deficiency and poor nutrition, cell damage, oxidative stress and free radical damage (ageing), inflammation and liver health.
We can see functional imbalances which are precursors to disease so with early detection and early intervention good health can be restored.
This is a unique and compelling way of viewing your health and with this procedure we test and measure to ensure we are moving toward the health goals we set. See your blood improve right before your eyes!
Food Sensitivities
Food sensitivities can produce symptoms in the body such as bloating, flatulence, constipation, diarrhoea, irritable bowel, skin conditions and arthritis. This test which can be done in the consultation room only requires a single drop of blood and tests for sensitivity to 60 different foods.
It also tells us the level of sensitivity to that particular food. An eating plan is then designed to remove those food / s and create meals that can be eaten while the body heals and recovers from the inflammation caused from eating the irritating food.
Cellular Health Analysis
Bio-Impedence is the name of the technology that I use to measure progress at each consultation. It is a simple and painless procedure that passes a weak electrical pulse that you don’t feel, through one half of your body. This combined with your height, weight, wrist and waist measurement allows us to see your body composition, cell health, hydration, fluid balance, water retention and gives us your biological age! (This can always be improved!)
It is a wonderful weight loss tool as it gives us the breakdown of your skeleton, body fat, muscle mass and total body water exactly so we know exactly what we are working with and how we are progressing.
Just remember, if you don’t change direction you’ll end up where you’re headed!
