About Naturopathy
Natural Therapeutics
It’s important to know that it is more
important to understand the type of
person that has a disease than to
know the type of disease that a
person suffers from.  Treat the
person not the disease.
Naturopathy is the science or art of treating a disease by addressing the true CAUSE, using Nutrition,
Exercise, Sunlight, Clean Air, Pure Water, Massage, Hydrotherapy (both Hot & Cold), Prayer, Meditation,
Lifestyle, Herbal Medicine, Biochemistry (which includes vitamins, minerals, enzymes, etc.), Bioenergy and
restoring balances in Mind, Body and Spirit.
What can I expect from a consultation?
The first consultation takes approximately 1 to 1½ hours as this allows me to build a complete picture of
the individual’s symptoms and general state of health. Many aspects of their life will be asked about, such
as diet, symptoms, sleep patterns, moods, current and past medication, and much more. Additional tools I
use are tongue/pulse diagnosis and Iridology (the study of the coloured part of eye). Iridology as a
diagnostic tool provides information on the patient’s constitution, inherited deficiencies, possible future
health issues and also their strengths and adaptation mechanisms. Follow up consultations are normally
shorter and occur 3-4 weeks from previous visit.
When can I expect results?
As with any health care system it is important to understand, especially with chronic conditions that lasting
results take time, commitment and a positive outlook. In saying that a lot of people undergoing
Naturopathic treatment in the short term do see a decrease in stress levels, general increase to energy
levels, improvement in sleep, feel more positive, are calmer and more alert.
