Naturopathy

What is a Naturopath?

A Naturopath is a qualified and holistic practitioner who assesses the individual client and their presenting health issues as a whole entity. This means taking into consideration a persons physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and even environmental influences that could be affecting their overall health.

Naturopaths use a variety of natural remedies, also known as functional medicine, to help assist and restore good health to their clients. These include herbs (liquid or tablets), vitamin & mineral therapy, nutritional counselling, exercise physiology, meditation & breathing techniques, homeopathy and much more.

Pathology is another extremely important tool Naturopaths use to accurately assess a clients disease state or health concern. Analysis of blood test results, ultrasound scans and other pathology results, like stool samples etc, provides vital information that is helpful in creating a tailor made treatment program to the patient.

Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine is Ah-Mazing!

Herbal medicines come from all around the world, grown in different climates to reach their most therapeutic and medicinal potential. Different parts of the herbs will be used for maximum benefit, such as the flowering top, the leaves, roots or stems. In some cases the whole plant will be used, as it works best when left whole.

We are so lucky to have many of these amazing herbs grown right here in Australia, produced and manufactured under strict regulations, making sure the end product from me to you is 100% pure, efficient and effective in treating many different ailments.

Herbal medicine is especially great for restoring organ and system function within the body, addressing disease states and improving overall general well being. You only need a small amount daily, but the benefits can be, without a doubt, incredible.

As a qualified herbalist, I have successfully used many herbs in restoring patients back to great health!

Vitamin & Mineral Therapy

B Vitamins, Vitamin C, Magnesium, Iron!

These are words we've all heard at some point, maybe through talking with friends or at your local health food store or pharmacy. But what is vitamin and mineral therapy?

The best and most ideal way to get vitamins and minerals is through your diet. For example, we know that oranges and capsicums are great for vitamin c, and we know that spinach and read meat is a great source for iron, but what happens when that's not enough and the person still seems to be struggling with a health complaint.

Conditions like chronic fatigue (also known as adrenal fatigue), stress, insomnia, and excess oestrogen absolutely respond to eating a well balanced diet but in some of these cases, supplementing or adding vitamins and minerals can help with significant improvement and recovery.

It has been scientifically researched that these conditions require higher daily doses of magnesium, vitamin c and B vitamins to help address the symptoms, therefore needing supplementation.

We always aim to rectify a client's issues with vitamin and mineral therapy, but ultimately guiding them back to nutrition and healthy eating plans.

Testimonials

I have known Sanja for a few years now and she has been amazing in diagnosing and treating my issues. I don’t know where I’d be without Sanja.

Renee

After 6 years of suffering with PMS induced water retention and bloating and after being told by doctors that my symptoms were a result of me reaching my late 20’s, a friend suggested I see a naturopath. As a result I booked a consult with Sanja and my life hasn’t been the same since!

Farrah
