FAQ

WHAT IS A NATUROPATH?

A Naturopath takes a holistic whole-body approach to wellness. Naturopathy supports a person to live a healthy lifestyle and reduce/minimise symptoms of illness whilst supporting the body’s own capacity to heal. A Naturopath combines clinical nutrition, western herbal medicine, dietary recommendations, flower essences and lifestyle education to treat and balance underlying causes that are affecting your vitality. The foundations of naturopathy are based on the importance of a healthy diet, clean fresh water, sunlight, exercise and stress management.
