Our approach
Preventative healthcare is a primary goal of Naturopathy, and all of our practitioners highly value the importance of avoiding illness before it occurs. Women with chronic disease conditions that cannot be treated with Naturopathy, such as cancer, will find that they benefit from a consultation with a Naturopath, who will create a safe management plan for optimal health, wellbeing and comfort.
For fertility and preconception care patients, partners are encouraged to attend appointments alongside their spouse, and if necessary will be referred for an individualised appointment themselves. Women with children are welcomed into our clinic, and we provide a breastfeeding friendly environment where children are invited to attend appointments with their parents.
We assess the level of inflammation in, and the integrity of, your gastrointestinal tract and, utilising recent advances in medical microbiology, we can accurately identify the balance of both good and bad bacteria, yeast/fungi and parasites in the gastrointestinal tract (the microbiota) and create a treatment approach accordingly.
If you’ve been looking for respect and understanding of women’s health, book a consultation to begin the process of finding and treating the true cause behind your symptoms.
