ND, BA (Psych)
In my naturopathic practice, I enjoy helping women who have lost their zest for life return to health with renewed energy, joy, motivation and focus. I am particularly passionate about working within the areas of hormonal balance, preconception care, natural fertility and reproductive health at all ages and stages of life.
I believe that optimal wellness involves a person’s physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health, which is also influenced by social and environmental factors. I endeavour to treat the whole person, whereby all of these aspects are taken into account. I also believe that it is best to resolve the root causes of a person’s health concerns, not just temporarily alleviate the symptoms, in order to bring about optimal wellness. |
To that end, I consider myself a bit of a detective, examining all the facts presented to uncover patterns that will lead me to the source of the issue. You are the best witness to your own habits and function, and the more information you can relay to me, the easier it will be to pinpoint our strategy. Your body is constantly sending you clues about the true state of your health, and we will work on interpreting them together.
I use a variety of tools in my practice, including but not limited to: diet and lifestyle advice; stress management techniques; nutritional supplementation; herbal medicine; and diagnostic testing. My recommendations will be tailored to your unique health profile, and you will receive a detailed, written treatment plan to suit your lifestyle, preferences and budget.
At Wellpark College of Natural Therapies, where I received my naturopathy diploma, I learned to incorporate traditional naturopathic knowledge and techniques with constantly changing, evidence-based complementary medicine research findings to achieve the best possible results for my clients. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and will be completing three additional qualifications this year: a diploma in herbal medicine, a diploma in clinical nutrition and an advanced certificate in fertility and reproductive care. I am a professional member of Naturopaths of New Zealand and am registered with the Natural Health Council.
I look forward to working with you to achieve your wellness goals!
