“Balanced consulting for all your health needs”
SERVICES
Naturopath & Massage Therapist - Melbourne’s South East Suburbs
SE Natural Health Solutions
Helen is a dedicated naturopath and pharmacist who combines the best aspects of naturopathic and traditional medicine to provide you with balanced and highly professional health care. Based in Melbourne’s south eastern suburbs, Helen also offers relaxation massage to help de-stress, improve circulation and enhance wellbeing.
Helen’s prime objective is to optimize the health and wellbeing of her patients. She works with them in the development of practical and effective treatment plans tailored to their individual needs. Patients are educated and empowered to take charge of their own health and lifestyle. She offers appointments in the patient’s home or at locations in Mount Waverley and Vermont South.
Helen graduated from Pharmacy College with honours and embarked on the first phase of her career. “While working as a retail pharmacist enabled me to develop professionally, I came to the realization that a large percentage of patients were not enjoying good health and that drug therapy did not always achieve a satisfactory outcome. When my own children developed serious health issues, I decided to explore natural medicine as an adjunct to my “western” medical background.
After six intriguing years studying, she completed her naturopathic degree from the Australian College of Natural Medicine and was awarded the “Most Outstanding Naturopathic Student” award in her graduation year. This extensive level of naturopathic training, combined with her considerable experience in retail pharmacy, has provided Helen with the ability to address the complex health issues faced by many people today. These issues range from serious, life-altering diseases to “just not feeling quite right” or “needing a bit more energy”.
Helen specializes in combining naturopathic philosophy and natural treatments with traditional medicine.
“I feel we need the best of both to achieve an optimum level of health and wellbeing. Please feel free to call me to discuss any condition which concerns you or your family".

What Is Naturopathic Medicine?
- A system of primary health care utilizing traditional and scientific knowledge, together with natural remedies, to support the body in it’s functions and restore good health. Treatments are carefully selected to strengthen and revitalize each individual and enhance wellbeing on all levels.
- A naturopathic practitioner aims to support the body in its own self-healing capacity. In doing this, the naturopath takes into consideration the physical, mental, emotional, genetic and environmental factors contributing to illness.
- Naturopathy aims to remove the cause of disease, resulting in alleviation of symptoms. Symptoms are the body’s way of alerting us to imbalance.
- Naturopathy aims to support and enhance digestion and assimilation of nutrients to increase nutrient supply to cells and systems, while increasing the elimination of toxins and wastes. This increases the health and vitality of each cell in the body which translates to greater health and energy of the individual.
- Optimal health is not just about the absence of illness. It is about feeling happy and energetic, achieving goals and getting the most out of life. Naturopathy is about balancing the body, diet and lifestyle habits to achieve this.
Main Areas of Naturopathic Treatment
Dietary Management and Therapy
- Nutrition is vital to a successful treatment program and wellness plan. Many conditions can be treated effectively by diet alone.
- Healthy eating is not about avoiding delicious foods, following strict rules or constantly exerting your will power. A good diet combines balanced food choices with healthy rewards.
- Achieving safe, effective and permanent weight loss is a realistic and expected outcome of healthy food choices.
- Under certain circumstances therapeutic or exclusion diets may be required.
Nutritional Medicine:
- The correction of nutrient deficiencies or imbalance using high quality, practitioner strength, vitamin and mineral supplements.
Herbal Medicine
- Herbs are medicinal plants that treat disease and improve health, by safely and effectively balancing body functions.
- At SE Natural Health Solutions I use only premium quality herbs, specifically blended for each patient’s individual therapeutic needs.
Relaxation Massage :
- Encourages a deep level of relaxation and enhances personal wellbeing.
- Reduces stress, anxiety and improves sleep.
- Increases blood flow to the entire body, improving cellular health and the elimination of toxins.
- Improves posture and mobility by relaxing tight muscles and loosening joints.
- Eases aches, pains and muscle spasm.
- Enhances sporting performance.
- Strengthens the immune system.
- Eases the discomfort of pregnancy.
Counseling & Lifestyle Education :

Flower Essences
- Are safe, gentle, energetic remedies used to treat mental and emotional imbalance.
- Re-balancing the mind may be a vital part of the treatment plan.
- Can be used to: alleviate fear, anxiety, worry, over-active mind, low self esteem, reduced confidence, anger, exhaustion, grief, depression, inability to concentrate and just about any other problematic mental state.
- Remedies are easy to administer as tasteless drops, sprays or creams.
Homeopathic Remedies
- Homeopathics are energetic remedies made from plant, mineral and animal extracts which have been systematically diluted and per cussed. Each dilution increases the strength of the remedy.
- They are safe, gentle, effective remedies which are particularly useful in the very young and the elderly.
Iris Analysis
- A diagnostic tool used to identify potentially problematic areas in the body, thus allowing us to prevent future disease by supporting these weaker organs or systems.
- Iris markings, colors and weave correlate with areas of over or under activity in corresponding body organs or systems and suggest areas of strength or weakness.
Blood Pressure Monitoring
What You Can Expect At Your Naturopathic Consultation :
- The initial consultation will take about one hour and consists of a thorough case history. This includes an in-depth look at past and present medical issues as well as your current environment, diet, stress and lifestyle habits.
- Bring any prescribed or over the counter medications you are currently taking as well as any recent medical tests.
- A physical examination consisting of blood pressure reading, iris analysis, tongue, nail and skin analysis is carried out where appropriate. Further pathology testing may be recommended.
- Each system in the body is assessed before a treatment plan is formulated, incorporating health-enhancing nutritional and lifestyle modifications. Natural remedies such as herbs, nutrients, flower essences and homeopathics may be recommended to facilitate this process. The patient’s budget is considered throughout.
- We work together to prioritize your needs and set achievable goals. Patient education and support is an integral part of the treatment and allows the patient to take greater responsibility for their future health
- Follow-up visits at agreed intervals allow assessment of progress and adjustment of the treatment plan as required.
