How can a Naturopath help you?
Naturopathy uses the natural healing powers of the body to heal itself and treats the cause of a disease rather than the symptoms themselves. It’s a system which places emphasis on health and how to promote it, rather than on disease and how to suppress it. Prevention is always preferable to cure.
The body has its own intelligence and therefore the ability to heal itself if given the right conditions or tools.
A Naturopathic approach can assist with the following issues:
- Women’s Health & Hormone Imbalances

“I’ve been feeling brilliant since I started the programme that Sue put together for me. My energy is good, I’m coping with all the stressful things that I’ve got going on and I’m sleeping again. My husband says ‘he’s got his wife back again’. “ Marie 57, PA.
Your Naturopath takes the time to listen and to get to know you as an individual because your problems are unique to you.
A naturopath uses a number of tools to treat health issues and help guide their clients back to vibrant health including, natural medicines (herbs and flower essences), nutrition and lifestyle coaching. As a partner in your own health, you play an integral role in making decisions about your treatment plan. It is advisable to choose a naturopath who is a member of, or is accredited by, an association or professional body.
