Wise Healthy Living
Wise Healthy Living
Imagine the relief you feel when you finally find a health practitioner who actually listens to your health concerns and provides grounded Naturopathic solutions and programming that are adaptable to your current financial and time limitations. There’s no greater feeling than to know that a genuine interest in your health is being taken by your heath care provider and Nicky Wood appreciates this from the patient’s perspective.
Nicky Wood started Wise Healthy Living Natural Therapies in 2004 after visiting her previous homeopathic teacher, Lorraine Morley for care and guidance for her and her daughter’s health. Having taken a break from a 5 year practice in 1999 to travel whilst launching and managing 5 star spa facilities, Nicky found herself in the vulnerable position of patient, seeking guidance and support through a quagmire of her daughter’s genetic based health problems, as well as her own personal struggle during this challenging time.
No sooner had Nicky cleared through the most difficult elements of her daughter’s health concerns, was she mentored by Lorraine back into practice. It was here that Wise Healthy Living Natural Therapies was created to provide a transition of support for Lorraine’s patients as well as a building platform for the currently popular clinic. Sadly, Lorraine passed away in January 2009 but not before she passed to Nicky her incredible depth of knowledge and understanding on the laws of healing, and the application of modalities that over the past 30 years, had worked successfully for thousands of Lorraine’s patients.
Nicky offers a wide range of modalities or tools in order to achieve your desired health outcome, all based on a healing blend of researched data and clinically successful principles. Incorporating a common sense approach to her prescriptions and personalized programs, Nicky ensures that all efforts are made to achieve your healthy balance once again.

Services
• Naturopathic Consultation
A detailed history is taken of your health to date, with priorities highlighted. All medications, current supplementation and other medical data is taken and carefully considered in light of contraindications to your Naturopathic program. Blood pressure and pulse readings plus iris (iridology), tongue and nail diagnosis are performed, urine analysis is done and where necessary, a mood analysis will be completed on the spot to determine any possible mood altering hormone (neurotransmitter) imbalances. From there, further testing may be suggested. A diet and supplemental program with handouts will be set then reviewed at a follow up consult in two to four weeks time.
• Homeopathic Consultation
A homeopathic consultation differs from a naturopathic consultation in that time is taken by yourself to actually write your journey in your life and health to date, with some general prompting by Nicky's guidelines. The emphasis is not only on what you write, but how you write and the impact certain events in your life have had on you combined with your emotional and physical response to those. This information will lead Nicky to find a common theme that matches a constitutional profile and a family inherited trait profile, therefore leading to remedy selection and choice of potency and frequency of your prescription to bring your physical, mental and emotional health back into balance. This is a uniquely tailored and personal approach to healing and is managed in the strictest confidentiality. Medical data is still considered important so any reports will be reviewed and included, as it will help strengthen the selection from a physical standpoint. The process of arriving at your constitutional remedy is gracious and studious one, and can in some cases take up to four or five hours of careful consideration on behalf of the constitutional homeopathic practitioner. Your initial consultation fee includes this.
