WELCOME TO
NATUROPATHY
We offer various Naturopathic solutions
Naturopathy is a healthcare system blending modern scientific knowledge and traditional natural forms of medicine. It is a holistic system, striving to identify the root causes of disease, through understanding and supporting body, mind and spirit. While naturopathic medicine is based on ancient knowledge, it is an innovative and groundbreaking field that is now becoming an evidence-based practice, and is repeatedly being proved by research to be highly effective.
Nutrition
When we eat healthfully, everything changes. Our food nourishes every cell in our body – including our brain. That’s why with good food our mind clears, our motivation grows, energy levels rise, and we feel well in every aspect of our lives. I believe that proper nutrition is what nourishes our lives, our relationships, our families and our work.
Naturopathy does not support the idea of one diet to suit everyone – a perfect diet for me won’t be a perfect diet for you. That’s why each patient I see leaves with a completely different menu.
HERBAL MEDICINE
Herbal medicine is one of the oldest and most effective forms of medicine in the world. Medicinal herbs include some of the best treatments for acute or chronic conditions. These are plant extracts that can be used in our food, as infusions, or in more “medicinal” forms of tinctures or capsules. They can also be used in topical form for skin ailments. Herbal medicine today is one of the best researched fields, proving to be safe and efficient.
LIFESTYLE ADVICE
Creating the sustainable habits that make everything else we discuss work! I want you to create a lifestyle that enables you to be at your best. I offer you the support and advice to achieve this, by focusing on different aspects in your life which may require minor adjustments in order to allow the process to flow with ease.
SUPPLEMENTS
Nutritional supplements can be vitamins or minerals which, for various reasons, we may be lacking or need more of at certain times. This could be due to an absorption problem, a nutritional lack, or a specific need for higher levels of a particular element (during pregnancy, for example). For the most part, supplements are given to treat a specific situation while we treat the cause of the deficiency, and are not intended for long term use.
STRESS MANAGEMENT
Learning techniques that support the reduction of systemic stress allows the body to begin the healing process. By finding the methods that work for you, we are able to create the space within for change to occur.
BACH FLOWER REMEDIES
BFRs may be useful in a wide range of issues, including depression and anxiety, stress, adjustment problems, and any other condition where emotion is a key element. The central theory is that at the heart of any pain or illness there is an emotional trigger, and through addressing that – we may find physical relief.

About Naturopathic Treatment
If you are considering treatment, I recommend scheduling a free 15-minute consultation call, during which we will ensure that the treatment will be beneficial for you, check our compatibility, and coordinate expectations.
After the consultation call, and once we arrange a date for an appointment, I will ask you to fill in an initial intake questionnaire, which will be sent to you by e-mail. Based on all the information, I may ask you to bring any recent lab test results with you to our appointment.
The initial consultation lasts around 90 minutes, and during this time we will build a naturopathic treatment protocol focused on nutritional balance according to your individual requirements, and on ways to improve certain aspects in your lifestyle.
Follow-up meetings last 30 minutes and are used for ensuring your success in following the guidelines. I will answer any questions that may have arisen, and we will discuss any lab test results that have arrived in the meantime. We will also use this time to adjust and balance any other treatment we may have used, such as supplements, herbal medicine, Bach flower remedies…
In chronic or complex conditions, I may also recommend further follow-up appointment every 1-2 months in order to achieve and maintain optimal health.
