Naturopathy is a treatment rooted in the scientific understanding of how our body’s work that focuses on promoting the natural, organic self-healing mechanism innate to us all.

Through a holistic approach and a combination of natural therapies, including homoeopathy, Bach flower, hydrotherapy, physical exercise and herbs, naturopathy can heal and reinvigorate a person’s mind, body and soul effectively.

Naturopathic medicine is distinguished by six core principles. Continually re-examined in terms of scientific advances and our evolving understanding of the body, the core principals guide techniques, incorporate traditional, scientific and empirical methods of healing.

The Healing Power of Nature
(Vis Medicatrix Naturae).

Naturopathic medicine recognises the inherent self-healing process within each individual. This process is both ordered and intelligent. As a Naturopathic practitioner I seek to promote self-healing by identifying and removing any physical and psychological barriers to the process.

Do No Harm
(Primum Non Nocere).

My techniques use natural products to minimise risk to patients throughout the treatment process. A patient’s self-healing capabilities will not be suppressed throughout the process, whilst symptoms are being supported.

Identify and Treat the Cause of Illness
(Tolle Causam).

The goal of naturopathic medicine is to identify, treat and eradicate the root cause of illness. This often involves treating numerous causes in a determined order. Any symptoms are secondary to the underlying cause.

Doctor as Teacher
(Docere).

Patients are educated in the best ways to achieving and maintaining consistent good health. Naturopathy views doctors as teachers. We have a responsibility to teach patients how to achieve the best health possible.
