Kate is passionate about health and well being, and doesn’t think it should be difficult for people to be well. All she asks of her clients is that they are prepared to make some changes, and become actively involved in their own health care. So, if you have been undertaking a particular health regime for a while and it hasn’t had a positive outcome for you (e.g. medications /weight loss diet etc), it’s time to rethink and take a look at Naturopathy.
Bookings are essential, phone 0404 625 033. Kate looks forward to assisting clients in achieving health and wellbeing naturally.
What can a Naturopath do for you?
A Naturopath treats each client as an individual, taking into consideration all aspects of the body and its function, including structural, biochemical and emotional aspects, which are equally important when forming a correct treatment plan.
Everyone has an individual set of symptoms unique to them, giving clues to what is actually going on in the body. Kates aim is not to just eliminate your symptoms and declare you well, but instead uses these to find the underlying cause or reasons why you feel unwell. In the long run this thorough investigative work leads to correct initial treatment, preventing illness developing into a chronic on-going condition.
A detailed history is taken along with a physical assessment, iris analysis (Iridology), tongue and nails, urinary indicans test, heavy metal test, blood type, bioimpedence test, muscle testing (Kinesiology), and referral for pathology testing or hair analysis as required.
The first appointment is generally 1 1/2 hours, with following appointments of 30 minutes to 1 hour which includes a review of current treatment and continued education and support. A series of visits is usual for lasting results.
Kate’s job as your Naturopath is to support and teach you how to regain health and maintain it, giving you back responsibility for your own health.

Naturopathy:
Kate’s professional advice will save you time, stress, and money, when looking for the cause of illness as well as addressing the symptoms, treating your whole body. If you have tried many treatments without success, or want to alleviate symptoms that you thought you just had to live with, then Naturopathy may very likely work for you. Treatments are non-invasive and work to strengthen and support your body as a whole bringing about well being. Supplements and herbal formulas dispensed are “practitioner-only” products of the highest quality from known and trusted sources, and are used to form an individualized treatment regime which you can manage and make an integral part of your every day living.
Nutritional Medicine:
Many conditions deplete your body’s nutrient levels, and many food choices can upset proper body function such as bowels, sinuses, blood sugar etc. One mans food can be another’s poison, but when taking into consideration your individual needs, we can eliminate deficiency states and support the body to function properly given the right foods and supplements as required. Patients are supported with information on diet and foods, allowing them to make an informed choice about what they put into their body, and the effects they may have.
Herbal Medicine:
Most herbs used today have been clinically or scientifically tested to prove their efficacy & safety. The healing constituents of herbs are extracted from the plant, and the properties of each herb considered when putting together a formula treating individual symptoms. No two clients have the same symptoms, therefore each combination of herbs is individualized to meet the needs of the client. Herbs are available in various forms such as tinctures (liquids), tablets, capsules, or dried.
Iridology:
An Iridology assessment covers genetic and lifestyle impacts on your health, and is a good diagnostic tool. The iris is divided into sections relating to different parts of the body, with the findings often supporting other clinical symptoms enabling the appropriate course of treatment, and /or indicates the need for more specific investigations like pathology tests and questionnaires to locate the causative factors.
Touch for Health:
Touch for Health is a form of Kinesiology, where muscle testing is performed through clothing, to balance the bodies energy system, supporting physical, emotional and biochemical aspects. Touch, massage, stress release, food testing, sound, color, and acupuncture, or energy pathways are used which speed up healing and helps prevent ill health.
Urinary Indicans Test:
Urinary Indicans testing is an accurate, simple urine screening tool, allowing identification of your gastrointestinal wellbeing. A positive test reflects a state of intestinal bacterial dysbiosis (proliferation of non beneficial bacterium). Current dietary and lifestyle practices have produced an increasing number of health disorders caused by a malfunctioning digestive system and consequent toxicity.
Bioimpedence Analysis:
A great tool to understanding your bodys state of inner health. The BIA measures your percentage of body fat, muscle mass, visceral fat (fat around your organs), total body water, bone mass, basal metabolic rate, and your metabolic age (indicating what age your body is currently rated at.) This enables us to determine the effect of diet and exercise on the body. Includes a full color report and detailed explanations indicating a healthy range for your body.
If you want to lose weight this is an ideal way to start, giving you an indication of how much fat you need to lose. Regular BIA monitoring will encourage you to stick to your diet and exercise program when you see your fat percentage drop.
Weight Loss with the Ketosystem:
The KetoSystem is a natural fat loss system, which uses the body's own metabolism to burn fat. Available only from healthcare professionals The KetoSystem is based on a person gaining a maximum of 20% of calories from low GI (glycaemic Index) carbohydrates, 30% of calories from fat and a minimum of 50% of calories from protein.
The use of only low GI carbohydrates by The KetoSystem ensures that the body does not produce high levels of insulin. This is important as high levels of insulin will cause the body to store carbohydrates as fat and stops fat being converted to energy. This has the effect of not only making a person fat, but will keep them fat. Similarly, the high protein content of The KetoSystem is critical as it ensures the maintenance of muscle mass, the place where fat is converted to energy.
