Naturopathy is a system of healing that understands the connection between our body, mind and spirit. When we are healthy in all aspects of ourselves, wellness can be achieved through the natural healing powers found in nature. When symptoms present themselves, it is not enough to just treat those symptoms. Other areas that may be affected by the imbalance can be identified and steps are taken to mitigate many other potential problems for our bodies. A well-balanced body will help prevent any one symptom from developing into a major problem and having adverse effects on your health.

A healthy mental state cannot exist without corresponding physical health. Symptoms that are distressing or ongoing can make a person feel angry or depressed, and likewise, if the imbalance is in the mind instead of on the body – such as anxiety or stress – these will be felt by your body which then leads to lethargy and fatigue throughout all systems. If one treatment fixes both sets of symptoms at once, they may continue to re-appear until this balance is restored through addressing not only psychological needs but also those of our bodily functions from hormones to digestion patterns. As a Naturopath on The Gold Coast, I believe that Holistic Medicine can provide the support and guidance that traditional remedies may not.
