"Helping the body to heal itself"
Using a blend of traditional and science based healing approaches, a naturopath seeks to enable you to achieve optimal health. As a naturopath, Kathy Sedun will treat you as a unique individual, interpreting your symptoms within the context of your whole life. By treating the foundational problems, rather than the only the symptoms, the results will be long term.
As a highly trained and experienced nutritionalist and herbalist, Kathy may utilise dietary, herbal medicines and/or nutritional supplements as required. Some of the practioner-only product lines include Bioceuticals, Orthoplex, Nutrition Care, Metagenics, Pharma Foods and Mediherb.
What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is based on the wholistic approach to your health. You and your symptoms are unique, and will be treated as such.By providing support to specific organs or systems that may be struggling or out of balance, you can begin the healing process. Nutritional and herbal supplements ,and dietary and lifestyle changes are a part of the program used to empower you to regain your health and vitality.

You may lacking in essentual nutrients for a number of reasons including:

- Environment- chemical, physical and emotional stress increase your vitamin requirements
- Oral contraceptives- may lead to decrease in your absorption of Vit. B6, and zinc.
- High protein diets-may lead to inadequate fibre, Vitamin B, and excess saturated fats. See my thesis for a detailed report.
