Naturopathic medicine (also known as naturopathy) is a school of medical philosophy and practice that seeks to improve health and treat disease chiefly by assisting the body's innate capacity to recover from illness and injury.
Naturopathic practice may include a broad array of different modalities, including manual therapy, hydrotherapy, herbalism, acupuncture, counseling, environmental medicine, aromatherapy, nutritional counseling, homeopathy, and so on. Practitioners tend to emphasize a holistic approach to patient care.
Naturopathic practitioners prefer not to use invasive surgery, or most synthetic drugs, preferring "natural" remedies, for instance relatively unprocessed or whole medications, such as herbs and foods.

Naturopathy has been my passion for the past 10 years. It is an incredibly rewarding vocation, which never ceases to amaze me with its’ ability to deliver fast, effective and powerful health improvements. To me Naturopathy is about delivering an individualized, tailor-made health program. The goal being, to- eliminate symptoms, remove toxicity, to replenish and heal, with the long term aim of preventing ill health through achieving long term lifestyle changes using a highly effective maintenance regime and health education.
My investigative tools of choice include Live Blood Microscopy (viewing a drop of blood together with the client using a monitor and microscope), Iridology (viewing the iris under magnification for signs of bodily/systems strengths and weaknesses) and an in-depth interview process. Information gained from these, forms the basis for the treatment protocol. Client needs, health perspective and lifestyle are also carefully considered in order to make health changes a pleasant and positive experience.
In recent years I have begun to combine my interest in Naturopathy with other modalities. The value of Colonic Irrigation was brought to my attention while working at a specialized Clinic with Cancer patients. I gained experience with this modality and observed considerable improvements in health. Colonic Irrigation may in many cases improve digestive irregularities, liver weakness, allergy prevalence and serious skin conditions such as Psoriasis and Eczema. It assists in reducing the toxic and allergenic load on the body, freeing it for healing to take place. Its benefits are manifold, especially when combined with an effective dietary and herbal protocol. Herbal irrigations are a wonderful option for those who want to individualize their treatment and further improve health outcomes.
I completed my Advanced Diploma in Naturopathy at the Australian College of Natural Medicine Inc. in 1996. During that time I also completed a Bachelor of Applied Science (Health Promotion) at Deakin University graduating in 1996. I have since completed an upgrade to Certificate 4 in remedial Massage at Croydon TAFE and Training in Colonic Irrigation. I am a member of ANPA, an organization, which governs Naturopaths and requires that we adhere to a strict ethical code of practice. I am registered for health insurance rebates.
