Naturopaths aim to identify and remove any obstacles to healing, recovery and wellness. They endeavour to facilitate and increase the inherent self-healing process. It is my goal, together with you, to achieve the best possible health outcome through evidence based complementary health care.
Natural alternatives that complement your lifestyle!
SERVICES Hello, my name is Carrie Walters and I am ready to help you reach your "health potential". An initial consultation with me will usually take 1 ½ to 2 hours, and during this time I take a detailed client history, which includes lifestyle, diet, family history, and discussion about your expectations. Follow-up consultations are recommended 2-4 weeks after the initial consultation and can take anywhere between ½ hour to 1 hour.
What to expect under my care!
• A nutritional, lifestyle, work and stress level assessment.
• A personalised treatment plan will be tailored to your individual needs to include underlying reasons for your ill health.
• You will not be subjected to unnecessary purchases or unmanageable dietary regimes.
• I pride myself on my dedication to helping people achieve their goals and offer “after sales service”, guaranteed follow-up with clients to ensure compliance!
When treating an individual I apply the following main principles of Naturopathic Medicine, which are to;
Identify and Treat the Causes
To identify and remove the underlying causes of illness, rather than to merely eliminate or suppress symptoms.
Do No Harm
Three guidelines to avoid harming the patient:
1. use methods and medicines which minimize the risk of harmful side effects,
2. avoid, when possible, the harmful suppressing of symptoms
3. acknowledge, respect and work with the individual's self-healing process.
Teacher
Share information and knowledge with clients and encourage self- responsibility for health.
Treat the whole person
Treat each patient by taking into account individual physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental and social factors.
Emphasize prevention
Highlight the prevention of disease by assessing risk factors, heredity and susceptibility to disease and making appropriate interventions in partnership with clients to prevent illness.
Support the healing power of the body
Recognise an inherent self healing process in individuals which is ordered and intelligent.
The key diagnostic tools used in clinic
Bioimpedance analysis
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measures the impedance or opposition to the flow of an electric current through the body fluids contained mainly in the lean and fat tissue. This tool is used for weight management.
Zinc test
With each consultation I provide a FREE zinc taste test. A zinc taste test is a quick and accurate way to measure your zinc levels and takes about 2 minutes with the results immediately available.
Zinc is required for the following functions:
• Healthy immune function
• Inhibition of angiogenesis - the growth of blood vessels to supply developing cancer cells
• Brain development
• Increases efficiency of Carbon Dioxide exchange within the lungs
• Reduces excessive lactic acid levels
• Assists Human Growth Hormone and Insulin production
AussiMed (CT)
As part of my consultations, I use the AussiMed (CT) which is a state-of-the-art, non-invasive computerised Electro Dermal screening device which measures the balances and imbalances of energy within the body.
This system is based on homotoxicology principals, where diseases are considered to ultimately be caused by toxins. These toxins can include chemicals, bacterial exotoxins, biological endotoxins, post-traumatic cellular debris and also byproducts of the body’s own metabolic processes.
Using this equipment assists me with identifying the problem rather than symptoms only. I am then able to determine a treatment plan based on the results of the test. Homotoxicology attempts to work with the immune system to facilitate the body’s elimination of toxic substances, thereby achieving better health!
Testimonials
I would like to thank you for facilitating my recent life change. Since joining your well being program, I have learned about eating, exercising and living for me! I now know what works for me and what choices to make. I will never go on another “fad” diet again! I am just sorry it has taken 40 years to figure this out! If only I had met you years ago! Not only did I learn from your wealth of knowledge and experiences, I had heaps of fun and laughter along the way! Thanks!
Kindest regards, Jacqui B, Greenway
