Natural Ways To Improve Health
View Our ServicesGood health is an important part of feeling happy and motivated about life
If you are feeling ongoing:
- Tiredness and pain
- Anti-social behaviours
- Inflammation and lack of movement

- Increased anxiety and nervous tension
- Gut complaints
- Exhausted due to sleep disruptions
- Emotional
- frustrated with skin flare ups
Then it is time to break the viscous cycle and get you feeling well again.
One of the underlying principles of naturopathic practice is the belief that the body has an innate ability to heal and attain better health. It can, therefore, be applied to almost all health conditions, acute and chronic, and to aid the prevention of disease.
If you have an existing condition requiring medication, natural remedies can still be beneficial, under professional guidance, to mitigate medication side effects, or used in ad-junction.
If you are ready to take control of your health, want to beat pain and improve the quality of your life then I would love to guide on this journey.
Low Level Laser Therapy
Drug-free pain relief and healing. The healing effects of low level laser therapy are truly remarkable.
Low level laser therapy (LLLT) is the application of red and near infrared light over injuries to stimulate cellular repair.
Unlike surgical or aesthetic lasers, it does not cause your tissues to heat up. Light frequencies reduce pain and promote tissue healing. It is painless, safe, non-invasive and has no side effects.
LLLT has an anti-inflammatory and healing effect on inflamed tissue. By improving circulation and increasing cellular repair functions LLLT provides an environment for your body’s own natural healing process to be activated.
To sum up Low Level Laser Therapy
- Provides pain relief by treating the cause and alleviating the symptoms
- Accelerates healing, getting you back in action faster
- Reduces inflammation and swelling, meaning less discomfort after an injury
- Reduces reliance on pharmaceuticals (under medical supervision)
Naturopathy / Herbal Medicine
One of the greatest benefits of herbal medicine is being that it does not interfere with the body’s natural healing process.
Herbs are work synergistically with the body to help restore health, prevent and treat illnesses. The herbal extracts can be blended together to suit individual needs, and are useful in the treatment of many common conditions or for the maintenance of good health.
Clients may be treated through the use of
- Teas
- Powders
- Capsules and tablets
- Extracts and tinctures,
- Essential oils
- Australian Bush & Bach flowers
- Various other preparations e.g. homeopathic remedies.
Nutritional Medicine
Nutrition plays an important role in virtually every medical condition. Good nutrition provides the building blocks for health. Assessing your nutritional status using pathology test results, deficiency signs and dietary intake is an important part of your treatment. Correcting nutritional imbalances is fundamental to the prevention and treatment of many common conditions.
Each day our bodies are challenged by excessive production of free radicals caused by our diet, polluted environment and stressful lifestyles.
Careful individualised prescribing is required since all humans are unique in terms of biochemistry, metabolism, anatomy and genetics. Our internal environment differs in gut flora, integrity of the intestinal wall and the immune system. All of these affect our ability to process foods, absorb nutrients and detoxify and expel wastes.
Clients may be treated through the use of
- Functional pathology testing
- Urine & hair testing
- Diet & nutrient analysis and support
- Motivational & lifestyle coaching
Remedial Massage
Regular Massage can release contracted muscles and fascia, in addition to promoting circulation. Massage is effective in reducing cortisol and increasing serotonin and dopamine, thus, allowing your body to be more resilient in the face of daily stresses and less prone to injuries. It works well in combination with most other rehabilitative therapies.
Clients may be treated through the use of
- Relaxation massage
- Remedial Massage Therapy
- Deep Tissue/Trigger Point Therapy
