Here is what one man had to say about his tailored health program formulated by Emma:
"With chronic disease rates such as diabetes mellitus at epidemic levels in Australia, it is time to take control of your health and make some informed decisions. Emma is a qualified naturopath who will be a part of your positive health program. All that is needed is a positive attitude and a willingness to avoid long term ill health.
"I recommend Emma's services to anyone who is interested in making positive changes to their health and outlook on life. I have found the herbs, vitamins and diet advice very useful. What I especially liked was the way she carefully researched my behaviours, likes, dislikes and lifestyle before recommending pragmatic steps to improve the things I wanted to work on."

Western Herbal Medicine
How to Achieve Vitality and Age Gracefully………
All patients experience the benefits of herbal medicine via taking the herbs in a liquid form. These are manufactured to the highest levels of quality assurance by utilising high performance liquid chromatography and a 1:2 cold percolation extraction process. This ensures a high quality herbal medicine which is free of contaminants such as heavy metals and pesticides.
Emma makes use of extracts and tinctures derived exclusively from plants. Herbal preparations are able to balance the whole body unlike pharmaceuticals, which only work on one specific system. The correct herbs, when used at their appropriate doses can have a profoundly positive effect on an individual’s health. Modern herbal medicine is safe when used by a qualified practitioner and is constantly substantiated with updated scientific research.
The use of liquid extracts enables Emma to compound a formula that is tailor made for the individual which results in a specific and very effective medicine.
Here is what one woman had to say about her tailored health program formulated by Emma:
"It’s been almost a year since I began to see Emma and my improvement has been amazing! Emma is not only compassionate but thorough in her over all diagnosis. I saw Emma regarding my polycystic ovaries and had no idea about the recent treatments or whether there were any available. I can confidently say that Emma had a lot to do with setting me on the road to recovery offering guidance and prescribing me with the perfect herbs."

Nutrition
Avoid long term health problems – it’s your choice……
The importance of a clean and healthy diet cannot be understated. From our food we obtain the building blocks of our body and the vitamins and minerals required to help our cells function. The rising incidence of many chronic diseases has been positively correlated to the Western diet. Diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, high cholesterol levels and many types of cancer to name a few. To avoid these chronic diseases, it is more important than ever to consume a natural diet filled with vital, living fresh foods.
How do I know What I Should be Eating?
Many of the foods found in supermarkets are processed and refined with little nutritional benefit left. Consumers are bombarded with information about what they should be eating to improve their health but this often leaves people confused and unsure about what to eat. For example, we were told for years that eggs were bad as they raised cholesterol but now the National Heart Foundation gives eggs a tick. Emma is trained in nutrition and guides her patients around this problem by giving simple and easily achievable dietary modifications tailored for the patient. The emphasis is always on fresh, organic where possible and unprocessed foods.
"I initially consulted Emma to get some support with menopausal symptoms. With what she prescribed for me, herbs and nutritional supplements, it was nothing short of miraculous. My hot flushes ceased within a week and I could sleep through the night again. I feel great and in control of my own health again."

Natural Fertility Management
Discover the best option for your fertility goals…..
A study conducted by Foresight, the Association for the Promotion of Preconception Care, which was established in the United Kingdom in 1978, has shown remarkable results with their preconception program. Of all participants with a history of infertility, 81% gave birth within a two year period! This clearly demonstrates how incredibly important it is for the potential mother and father to follow a specific, tailored health program before conception. As sperm formation and egg maturation typically occur over a three month period, preconception planning should begin at least three months before conception.
Emma practises from Darling Street Health Centre, a multi modality clinic in Balmain that specialises in female health. Come into the warm, relaxed atmosphere and experience the peaceful, friendly surrounds.
Weight Loss
Important news for all dieters – don’t count another calorie until you read this….
The most effective way to lose weight is to have a program tailored to your individual needs, a program that is specific for your metabolic type and feasible with your current demands. There are many lifestyle and food choices that Emma can share with you to help burn those calories. Depending on your individual situation, herbal medicine, homeopathy or supplements may be used to facilitate your road to your goal weight.
Here is what one woman had to say about her tailored health program formulated by Emma:
"I am a 41 year old reasonably fit, single mum with a very demanding job. I came to see Emma in complete desperation last year. I had a recurring glandular virus, was completely run down, could not lose that last 5 kilos, and was feeling frazzled. Three months down the track I have lost the excess 5 kilos, plus another 2, am positively jumping out of my skin, and feeling very happy and healthy. Emma spent the time finding out about not just my health, but my well-being. She mixed up a magic tonic for me (I believe it is truly magic), gave me understandable information, and has managed to educate me about what I put into my body. What Emma recommended was nothing extreme, but the subtle changes I have made to my lifestyle have made an enormous difference."

Homeopathy
Who else is looking for a safe, non toxic medicine for the whole family?
Homeopathy is a therapy based on the theory of treating like with like. Homeopaths treat patient’s symptoms by giving a highly dilute form of a substance, which if taken in a crude dose, would cause similar symptoms when given to a healthy person. In assessing the patient, homeopaths often take into account a range of physical, emotional and lifestyle factors.
Homeopathy was developed over 200 years ago and is now used worldwide. It is acknowledged by the World Health Organisation as a valid form of healthcare. Its effectiveness has been clearly established by over 200 years of clinical experience and has a pharmacy of over 3000 medicines, which are non-toxic and non-addictive.
Emma uses homeopathy to great effectiveness for many of her patients but especially for children and pregnant mums where there are issues of safety with pharmaceutical medicines.
Here is what one patient treated with homeopathy had to say:
"I've always considered myself to be relatively healthy but decided to visit Emma after a long period of feeling run-down and suffering influenza symptoms. After only two visits with Emma, I felt a world of difference... her assistance improved my energy levels leaps and bounds and gave me a general feeling of well-being. I feel like Emma really listens to my concerns and gets to the root of the problem."

Iridology
Discover the secrets hidden in your eyes……
Iridology is the study of the colored part of the eye (called the iris) to determine potential health problems. Iridologists observe patterns and markings in the iris to reveal emerging conditions in every part of the body and to identify inherited weaknesses that may lead to physical and emotional disorders.
Iridology cannot detect a specific disease. Rather, it is a preventive practice that helps people to understand their basic health issues so that they can seek treatment, if necessary, from the appropriate specialist. According to iridologists, if a health problem is detected at an early stage, something can then be done to prevent it from becoming a full-blown disease.
Ear Candling
Excuse me, I can’t hear you….
Ear candling is a simple, gentle and effective therapy used in the treatment of swimmers ear, sinusitis, headaches, T.M.J. pain, otitis externa, tropical ear, tinnitus, and many stress related symptoms. The healing properties of ear candles has its foundation in two primary physical actions.
Firstly, the slight vacuum (the chimney effect) inside the ear candle and the vibration of the rising air column serve to gently massage the ear drum and promote drainage of the frontal and paranasal sinuses. This has an immediate subjective effect of regulating ear pressure. Users of ear candles describe a soothing, light sensation in the ear/head area. Secondly, the locally applied warmth stimulates the local circulation, invigorates local circulation and reinforces the flow of lymph.
Emma only uses candles made from pure beeswax, precious honey extracts and organic cotton. Organic herbs can be added for a more specific therapeutic effect.
Flower Essences
Flower essences have a long history….
The Egyptians and early Aboriginals were among those who knew of flowers' healing properties. Flower essences are natural remedies that address negative emotional states, sometimes physical ailments, and help to bring about a more positive mind-set and enhance one's wellbeing. Due to the gentleness of flower essences they can be used safely for old, young, pregnant, sick or even the family puppy!
