Naturopathic Doctor & Yoga Instructor
passionate about helping you achieve health, balance, & vitality.
Naturopathic medicine is an evidence-based modality that utilises natural healing methods. It offers an individualised, patient-centered approach, aiming to address the root cause of your condition rather than merely suppressing symptoms. The goal is to prevent disease and achieve optimal health and wellness.
An array of diagnostic tools are used to get to the root cause of your condition and better understand your unique health needs. Through the use of non-invasive healing techniques, your body is provided with the support it needs to heal itself.
Treatments are tailored to you and include lifestyle interventions, nutritional guidance, herbal prescriptions, targeted supplement support, gut health protocols, stress management techniques, hydrotherapy, breathwork, meditation, and yoga.
“Healing is a dynamic process of recovering from a trauma or illness by working toward realistic goals, restoring function, and regaining a personal sense of balance and peace.”
