Naturopathic
Services

Bel is a clinical naturopath who uses a holistic whole-body approach to find and treat the root cause of imbalance or dis-ease.
Understanding you are more than your illness or collection of symptoms; Bel integrates traditional medicine with scientific evidence-based research to support the body’s innate ability to heal and thrive.
Recognising the interaction between systems of the body Bel takes an individualised approach to health and healing using many avenues including:

Holistic Nutrition

The philosophy of Hippocrates (the founder of naturopathic medicine), Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food’ is at the core of naturopathic treatment. 

Diet and nutritional interventions are utilised to ensure a varied diet balanced in macro, micro and phytonutrients. Nutritional recommendations including recipes are specific to your bio individuality.

Lifestyle Advice

Our genetic expressions are influenced by behavioural and lifestyle factors. Lifestyle modifications are addressed in consultations including, sleep, stress management, movement (physical activity), rest, exposure to sunshine, toxin exposure and ensuring support networks. 

Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine is the most utilised naturopathic tool for healing imbalance and dis- ease. Our ancestors have used plants as medicine to thrive and survive for thousands of years. Herbal medicine uses plants containing chemical constituents to treat ailments of the body by providing a broad scope effect on the body’s physiology.

Plant preparations are made by using plant parts (roots, leaves, flowers and bark) to form tinctures/tonics and herbal infusions. These tonics are used to help regulate, stimulate or tonify the organs or systems of the body without overriding or shutting down the body’s own innate capacity to restore balance and maintain homeostasis.

 This ancient art of healing gifts us the real power of nature and is now backed up with modern scientific, evidence-based research.

Nutraceuticals

A Naturopath uses a food first approach when it comes to supporting you to thrive; however, there are times when our nutritional demands are increased. and nutrient supplementation is considered to ensure optimal nutrient levels to prevent depletion and regain health. 

Energetic Medicine 

Energetic medicine is used where necessary, when there are emotional blockages to healing. Australian Bush flower and Bach flower essences help release suppressed emotions allowing you to truly heal and regain balance in the body.
